Review of Game of Thrones, S6E3
Revue of Game of Thrones, Season 6 Episode 3
Well, Episode 3 seems to leave some questions unanswered.
Again, people die… It’s GOT. People will always die.
But let’s go back to the beginning….
Jon immediately disappoints us (and Melisandre) by stating that he saw nothing when he was dead. Oh well… let’s be content with his return.
Bran and the Three-Eyed Raven are really stirring things up with their trips back in time. Visions of young Ned Stark give us an inkling that we may yet discover if our fan theories regarding the events leading up to the war with the Targaryens were true. This is a really interesting development, as there are so many unanswered questions in GOT and these trips will eventually provide some answers.
Tyrion and Varys continue to plot and plan to hold the power and keep the peace in Meereen. We are however stumped by his conversation (or attempt at conversation) with Grey Worm and Missandei. Now we know that GOT does not waste scenes, so we must consider that there was a reason for this conversation, and that it was not merely borne out of Tyrion’s boredom.
Ramsay Bolton is offered a cheering gift, which in turn depresses us. The reappearance of Rickon Stark (who I’m sure some of us had forgotten about) should have pleased us. His deliverance into the sadistic paws of Ramsay chills us. Ramsay has now been put into a position of potential strength. I wonder how he will play this.
Poor Danaerys! Being compelled to confirm with the traditions of the Dothraki must be extremely painful. We cannot feel too sorry for her though, because we know it is only a matter of time before she is rescued.
Arya’s sight is restored in a manner far less taxing than we expected. This leads me to wonder if she is of greater value to Jaqen than he lets on, especially as she is being quizzed about her family.
The infamous twins, Cercei and Jamie, storm the small council – without much success. Cercei’s plans begin to come together, and we should soon expect some action against the High Sparrow and her other enemies.
So back to Jon Snow, who ostensibly performs his last act as Lord Commander by executing the unrepentant “oathbreakers” before handing over his cloak and symbol of authority. We are left to wonder what his destination – and new mission, is.
And so ends Episode 3. We await Episode 4 with bated breath.
