Alas, how the tables turned and how disappointed we became over Dany’s later decisions. ![]() At that juncture, even we thought Sansa can be wrong, as we know Dany is clearly not her father. ![]() Even Sansa teases Tyrion for working with Khaleesi by saying, “I used to think you are the cleverest man alive!”. Even Lady Sansa Stark is disappointed over Jon’s choice as she thinks Jon made this decision only out of love for the Khaleesi. That soul-piercing stare of Bran (even though he sees everyone like that) may have completed the redemption arc of Jaime Lannister, who just switched sides to fight the undead.Ĭlearly, the northerners are not impressed with Jon Snow swearing allegiance to an outsider, even though it is for the greater good. (Only good thing is, very soon, the broken boy, who went on to become the three-eyed raven, is going to change the fate of entire Westeros) “Hello, old friend!” the broken boy greets Jaime. Even though it is one of the things he did for love, it changed the fate of that boy forever. While some of the reunions brought us happy tears, some of them created an eerie feeling as one’s life choices affected the other one pretty badly. The episode gets punctuated with several filmy reunions such as Jon Snow – Arya Stark, Jon Snow – Bran Stark, Gendry Waters – Arya Stark, Yara Grejoy – Theon Greyjoy, Samwell Tarly – Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister – Sansa Stark, Arya Stark – Sandor ‘The Hound’ Clegane, Jaime Lannister – Bran Stark.

But, the Game of Thrones towards its conclusion didn’t allow some of its finest characters to climb the ladder and thus created more chaos. ![]() Chaos is a ladder, that vice man told once. For example, every conversation made by the Littlefinger aka Lord Petyr Baelish regarding the Iron Throne is much more powerful than a war sequence in which the dragons destroy a fleet. Game of Thrones is all about how crooked minds can just sit there and move mountains (literally and not literally) somewhere else by just talking to the others. Game of Thrones is all about conversations and strategies. If the throne games can be played only by invading other nations directly, the show would have barely lasted 8 episodes. Right from the beginning, Game of Thrones (or A Song of Ice and Fire for that matter) was not just about the robust set pieces, terrific war sequences that swallow the entire 80 minutes of an episode, like Drogon’s diet.
