After last week’s fiery finale sent me all in a tizzy, Game Of Thrones is back to brighten up my Monday night once again. So, as I got perched on the edge of my sofa for the latest political scheming from Kings Landing, I grabbed my notepad and started scribbling….
4 mins: These Lord Of Light followers might claim the night is ‘full of terrors’ but nothing’s as scary as that Red Lady. I still see that smoke monster she made!
5 mins: OK, setting a sword on fire with your hand is pretty cool. This Lord Of Light might have another convert soon….
7 mins: Holy crap that guy’s not dead! I REALLY need to get in with this deity.
11 mins: I don’t think the Nights Watch will mind too much you broke that vow Jon, Ygritte makes a very clear, cogent and persuasive argument there.
13 mins: Once again, Ygritte makes a very good point. There’s shelter, a nice bath and no White Walkers, why not stay in the cave for a while?
14 mins: How are you alive?! The Hound carved you in two!
15 mins: Eeesh, that hand looks a little bit rough Jaime, you might want to have that taken care of.
17 mins: No anaesthetic? This is going to sting a bit Jaime…
19 mins: Hurray! My two favourite characters finally meet. While not as much fun as I’d have liked it to be (in my mind there was at least some cake), old lady Odessa’s got some mad inventory skills going on. She doesn’t seem like the sort to forget you borrowed something off her.
20 mins: First Hot Pie, now Gendry? The Arya Stark road show is no more folks.
22 mins: Oh err, not had any child murder in so long, it was bound to happen. This is going to give Robb a bit of a headache to deal with. Wait, are the Karstarks like a knock off version of the Starks, or did Mr Martin just get rather unoriginal?
29 mins: That might be the most civil explanation of a kidnapping that has ever been delivered on TV. Also, sorry to keep banging on about this but WHY ARE YOU NOT DEAD!
32 mins: It’s good to know that religious fundamentalism exists even in Westeros. This alegory’s getting a little heavy handed though at times.
34 mins: Oh sweet child, locked up in a tower like Rapunzel and countless other princesses. I like the Onion Knight too, especially as he can do crafts like that with only one hand full of fingers.
39 mins: Wait, is this Jaime opening up and being honest? Even his own body’s rejecting this niceness.
43 mins: Aaaaahhhh, this little girl’s magic.
44 mins: I think Sir Jorah does more than believe in our Daenerys.
46 mins: She might just be the nicest murderous manic in the world. Or at least the most idealistic. I just hope she puts an end to the Jorah/Barristan peeing contest, as that’s getting old really fast.
49 mins: Huzzah, Robb’s finally realised that rather large gaping hole in the Lannister line! New location ahoy!
51 mins: Damn, Sir Loras might be the cheapest date ever. All you have to do is say hi and he’ll jump into bed with you it seems.
53 mins: Ewww Little Finger, the creep factor is off the scale with you hitting on Sansa!
55 mins: Wait, Tyrion and Sansa are to be wed?! WOW, did not see that coming. Loved his response though.
57 mins: WAIT, WHAT? Cersei and Loras? Tywin is perhaps the most cold and direct dad out there. Once again, no novelty ‘#1 Dad’ mugs for you my friend.
It seems that you don’t need a dragon burning down a city for a cracking ending to an episode. Let me know what you think in the comments.
