Review of Game of Thrones S6E04
Revue of Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 4
All Hail the Great Mother of Dragons! The Unburnt!
Yes!!! Danaerys reminds us why she is a major character in the series. Does she remind us!!! Who are the Dothraki?!!! Who dem be?!!! I cannot imagine that I referred to her as “Poor Danaerys” after Episode 3!
In truth, the most amazing thing is that she pulled it off without her fire-breathing children, and largely without the aid of her two disciples and would-be rescuers. I cannot also fail to mention her return to nude glory – just in case we had started to think GoT was only about blood… tsk tsk.
My old friend LittleFinger is back. Sadly, I must say I feel his power waning. Needing to raise an army from the Vale to pursue his “love for Catelyn Stark” driven desire to rescue Sansa seems somewhat beneath his usual wiles. It was good to have him back, even though I feel his evil genius might be best applied to other causes.
Ramsay is such a bastard (pun intended). His letter to Jon exemplifies all that we know of him, and his killing of Osha (poor girl) does not surprise us in any way. Hopefully his letter and Sansa’s urging will spur Jon out of his self-piteous stupor and give him a cause to fight for. Even if the wildlings alone cannot defeat Ramsay, surely a two-pronged attack (remember Lord Baelish and the warriors of the Vale) would be sufficient.
“We make peace with our enemies, not our friends”. Tyrion brings his political nous into play again. To the dismay of Grey Worm and Missandei they are forcibly taught a lesson in governance and diplomatic relations, and the use of self-interest to drive the attainment of goals. I do wonder though how Danaerys will react when she returns to Meereen and discovers the pact that Tyrion has made with the Princes of Slavers Bay.
At Kings Landing, the infamous twins continue their plotting to down the High Sparrow. I cannot say I feel sorry for him. He has it coming – the sanctimonious bagger. His narration of his Damascus moment was not particularly convincing in my opinion. His love for power and his desire to do great things (such as bring down an empire) belie his pious.
Back to Danaerys. Let’s speculate a little. Now that she had added the Dothraki to her already impressive assemblage, what do we think she should do next? Is it time to return to Westeros and claim the throne? Ideas please people…
