Spoilers Alert!
Jon Snow is Back in the game
baby! Yeah!!
Okay so a lot of sub plots moved
forward in today’s episode and 2 characters eliminated. But three key sequences
stood out for me. Firstly, Tyrion’s antics. That guy with his flamboyant
style, sharp wit and hilarious remarks is awesome to watch. I hope George RR
Martin never kills him! We had already witnessed a glimpse of Tyrion’s
rendezvous with the dragons in the trailers but when he actually walked up
towards them I was like, man what is he thinking? (That by the way is a fantastic
shot, pitch black dark, sounds of only random growls or breathing and then a
beautiful glowing fire shot to reveal it
is in fact in the dragon’s mouth! Spectacular!) Varys had more sense, his
frightened body language saying like "Dude Imma stay right here at the closest exit, I don’t believe suicide is a good idea!" I was watching with bated breath and then I realized, wait what’s
he doing? Tyrion was actually talking to the dragons?! This guy can negotiate with
anybody! Then he was petting the beasts and I was thinking – Tyrion, you may
die today, probably roasted alive, or ripped into half and devoured by the
starving dragons but you have my respect you brave fool! And then the other dragon scoots towards him
and like - Hey would you mind unchaining me too? Yeah thanks! The most hilarious part was
where his wine intoxication seemed to be
leaving him as his senses and his sobriety returning as he hurriedly
walks back to Varys and tells him next time he has such an outrageous idea (walking up to unfamiliar, famished, angry dragons to unchain them!) to punch him in
the face. Couldn’t agree more! I love Tyrion.
The other jaw dropping moment for
me was when Ramsay Bolton stabs his father. That was sudden. That’s the USP of
Game of Thrones I believe. Things are not mostly unexpected (Except the Red
wedding, I was Not expecting that!) They are expected yet sudden, if you
understand the difference. Anyway, serves that backstabber right. Had it not
been for him and his greed to become the warden of the north, Robb Stark and
his entire family would have been alive. This time he was in Robb’s place and
betrayed by his closest, trustworthy aide! That’s called Karma Roose Bolton. As
for Ramsay, the best compliment for Ramsay I believe is when my mother said, I thought
by far the worst evil I had seen was King Joffrey. But this guy makes Joffrey
look good! A character that is jealous, heartless, barbaric, devoid of remorse,
greedy and insecure, it would be fun to watch how much more will Ramsay stoop
now that he has all the power he craved.
And last but not the least. The
question we were all asking since the past year finally got answered in this
episode. Yes. Jon Snow is back from the dead. And thankfully not as a white
walker! And thank goodness Ghost was not sacrificed, till the last moment I thought
the wolf would die and Jon would rise! But he looked at the door that seemed to
barge open on its own or maybe because of a strong wind. Nah. That was Jon Snow’s
spirit probably, visible only to Ghost! The red priestess didn’t seem too
confident nor did the wildlings approve but Jon Snow was brought back using
magic. It will be interesting now what he has to say and what will he do? (You
must now know everything Jon Snow?) Will he go up to his backstabbers and say “I
am back suckers!” and take revenge or take the high road. I am pretty sure by
now Jon should be smarter, less easily trusting and more cunning than he was
before. We shall know. Great episode!
