Game of thrones season 7 episode 2 full
Olenna doesn’t want Dany to suffer the same fate.Īs a leader, so far, Dany has been a little uneven. Margaery thought she was winning the game through charm until the moment she lost. Joffrey tortured and preened his way into a poisoning. Robb Stark lost his life and his kingdom for love. Ever since Ned’s execution in Season 1, Thrones has been dominated by youthful, and oftentimes naive, figures on both sides. Olenna Tyrell is an intriguing figure for this show in more ways than one. A chronicle of the wars following the death of King Robert I will not help anyone, not unless people actually learn from all that history.īut, the characters of Game of Thrones have never been particularly good at learning from the past. Trying to recapture the past isn’t going to help win the Great War - the person with the power to see into the past was noticeably absent from this episode. And Arya just wants to go back home.īut as her meeting with Nymeria showed, Arya isn’t the same person she was back in Season 1. Jon doesn’t want the North to be run over by the Night King. Dany doesn’t want to be Queen of the Ashes. What’s different now is that there is less time (within the narrative of the show and in the number of episodes remaining) and fewer lives to go around as the rulers of the Seven Kingdoms dance around each other. Lords of great houses are assembling their armies. Rulers in the South are demanding the bended knee from rulers in the North. The first blood has been drawn in the war between Cersei and Daenerys, Jon Snow is sailing south to meet his aunt/potential ally, Sam is doing more than cleaning bedpans, and Arya is journeying home, at last.Īnd while all that movement shows how much has changed in Westeros over the past seven seasons (as Tyrion helpfully demonstrated on the big chessboard of the continent), so much of “Stormborn” was reminiscent of the events and status quo of earlier seasons, specifically Season 1, when Robert called Ned to King’s Landing and it all went wrong. But the pace has noticeably picked up, and it's for the better.

With Season 7 underway, I'm even more engrossed in Westeros and the wars to come! The episode "Dragonstone" was perfectly set up. The characters are beautifully layered, no one really appearing black and white though their motives may be.

It's easy to see why the show isn't well received by most due to the very raw production details and value but that's what I have come to appreciate. I watched all six seasons in under a month and then spent the last year watching them all over again and again and again, never tiring of it. I didn't expect the tidal wave of love that came. It's easy to see why the show It took me five years to park my butt on a sofa and watch the show. It took me five years to park my butt on a sofa and watch the show.
