Sansa believes Tyrion to be not like the other Lannisters. Jon asks Sansa for her opinion on Tyrion. Jon deduces that Tyrion definitely sent the letter as he references one of his own quotes from season one, when they first met each other. Which one will Jon respond to, I wonder?īack at Winterfell, Jon Snow has already received the letter sent from Dragonstone via raven! Time is flying very quickly indeed this season. Funny, since Cersei sent Jon a similar letter last episode. They decide to send a raven to invite Jon Snow to meet Daenerys and bend the knee to her. Perhaps Jon Snow would make a good ally for their cause. Jon Snow is referenced, and Tyrion describes him as a pretty good Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch and a pretty good King in the North so far, that he is trustworthy, and that Tyrion himself is an excellent judge of character. Which Daenerys seems to like, as it infers that she could be the one to save the Seven Kingdoms from the horrors that are facing everyone. See, the term used for ‘Prince’ in High Valyrian is gender-neutral, so could refer to a prince or a princess.

Someone references the ‘Prince Who Was Promised’ and Missandei actually informs everyone, including the viewers, that this is the wrong translation. Daenerys informs Melisandre that although she served Stannis, she has decided to pardon those who served the ‘wrong king’. She and Daenerys speak with one another in Valyrian, and Varys reminds everyone that Melisandre used to serve Stannis Baratheon (RIP). Red Priestess Melisandre, who we haven’t seen in a while, has arrived at Dragonstone. There was a great monologue by Conleth Hill as Varys in this scene, even though I somewhat doubt his trustworthiness. She may be the mother of dragons, but she is certainly the Mad King’s daughter as well. Unfortunately, if Varys ever betrays Daenerys, she will burn him alive. There was a nice, sneaky look from Tyrion which indicated that he understands his motivations. Daenerys makes Varys swear an oath of loyalty and not to conspire behind her back, which he does, but I wonder if she is being slightly naive in that respect. Varys came from nothing and got shit done across his life, and works for the people, not for the power. Daenerys grills Varys about the plot to kill her back in season one, and finds that although he was technically behind it all, he seems to have the bests interests of the people at the forefront of his mind when backing her. Varys and Daenerys reflect on her family background, her terrible brother, and her crazy father who enjoyed burning people alive for fun and political control. They have the Tyrells and the Dornish on their side, which is significant, resources-wise. They place the main players of the political landscape of Westeros on the fantastic map table (I want one for my house) and wonder about who exactly supports Daenerys’ cause. Unfortunately, after spending the vast majority of her life abroad, Daenerys does not find Westeros to feel like home. Tyrion, Varys and Daenerys are reminiscing about the time of Daenerys’ birth. In another scene that is way too dark for my television to handle, we visit Daenerys and friends at Dragonstone. See above comparison image for evidence! Perhaps this will have interesting implications about what’s going on up there, particularly given the references to the abandoned Night’s Watch castle, Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, in the past episode. Meanwhile, in the opening title sequence, it looks like the sea is freezing over up North. More questions than thoughts, really, but they certainly stuck out to me. I did a bit of reflecting on the first episode across the week and had a couple of leftover thoughts: It was a solid start, to be sure, but the characters seem to have become a bit one-note as the seasons have progressed would Stannis Baratheon (RIP) really leave a whole castle empty? is Jaime just a little bit useless compared to his previous season roles? I hope he gets something to do where did Euron and his Greyjoy gang get enough wood and time to build that fleet of ships? and finally, would the Lannisters really not send some soldiers out to meet Daenerys given that Jaime accurately predicted that she’d head straight to Dragonstone? The dragons may complicate things. Please consider watching the episode before reading, unless you’re fine with being completely spoiled!

Warning: This post is filled to the brim with spoilers. But perhaps what might be better than watching a thrilling, crazily violent and dramatic television show, is reading the comprehensive recap of an episode of television that you might have already watched seven days ago or you might have already watched episode three already. Episode two! Unfortunately due to some adverse circumstances this week, this write-up is quite late.
