I’m the former wife of Khal Drogo, she said. The confab with the Khal continued along the same trajectory until Khaleesi had finally had enough. Khaleesi spent the early moments enduring two charming lads who made all sorts of offensive remarks and speculations. She’s now a prisoner of her new Dothraki friends, and they are classy. Over in Essos, Daenerys Targaryen has to be wondering if you can really call yourself the Mother of Dragons if your dragons like to abandon you in random fields. “Septa Unella can be overzealous at times,” the High Sparrow/Septon said. Never you mind …)Ĭersei’s old nemesis Margaery, meanwhile, is still in the hoosegow, taking her own turn with the Nurse Ratched of TV nuns. “Everything she said came true, you couldn’t have stopped it.” (What’s that, Tommen? Oh nothing. The witch told me I’d have three children and they’d all die, she said. Also, you go into “Thrones” premieres knowing they’re about picking up the pieces from the previous season, and this year the shards are especially jagged.Ĭersei, former shame-walker, has had everything ripped away, to the point that she can’t even get mad at Jaime about the hash he made of the Myrcella rescue effort. That said, the scenes at Castle Black had plenty of room to breathe and others, like Sansa’s rescue and Ellaria Sand’s power grab in Dorne, packed plenty of thrills into tight spaces. But it can make for frenetic viewing in these early table-setting episodes. Story density is a key component of “Game of Thrones,” of course, the breadth and depth of its world is part of what makes the show so transportive. Here’s two minutes in Meereen - CUT - here’s Cersei and Jaime - CUT - poor Blind Arya - CUT - Sansa in the snow - CUT - Sand Snakes! - et cetera. The Snow thing was one of about 13,000 subplots (a rough estimate) that got serviced in the season premiere, a terrifically busy episode that at times, with its quick glimpses of exposition and rapid cutting from scene to scene to scene, reminded me a bit of the old “Batman” show. “I saw him in the flames fighting at Winterfell,” she said. Even the Red Woman, everyone’s favorite candidate for resurrecting Snow, could only stand there dumbfounded by the turn of events. And he only got stiffer as the hour progressed, while Davos pondered his next moves with a few loyalists and the mutineers went public with their treachery.
Has it really been nine months since we saw him last, taking the final, cruelest blow from young Olly and collapsing onto the ground, blood pooling behind him? It seems like he never left, what with the various rumors and sightings, reports about haircuts and breathless dispatches about Kit Harington’s romance with the equally dead, in “Thrones” terms, Rose Leslie.īut there he was on Sunday, stone dead and stiffening as Ghost howled in despair. Our top story tonight: Lord Commander Jon Snow is still dead.
