ThisGame of Thronesreview contains spoilers.
I dont suspect anyone was surprised when Lysa Arryn fell for Petyr Baelish.
The telling aspect of this sequence is the difference is in familial outrage and anger both brothers have.
He even mocks one-handed, sister-banging, and king-killing Jaime as still being the golden son.
And like Shae, Bronn could be bought, even if in a much more amusing manner.
Meanwhile the south is warm and comforitng.
But still, there is a silver lining.
Cersei Lannister has named Gregor the Mountain Clegane as her champion.
He raped and killed his sister after also killing his nephew and niecesprepare to die.
In the meantime, well settle for him taking Ser Gregors head.
After all, it is thejustthing to do.
Another character who has been learning a lot about justice as of late is Daenerys Targaryen.
Full disclosure, I actually think this scene is great.
Formultiplenovels in George R.R.
In the show, Dany takes a sip of wine and guardedly invites Daario into her bed.
I am intrigued just how else they will change this relationship in future episodes.
I also can applaud them for not putting in gratuitous nudity.
…So, the next scene is Melisandre pointlessly taking a bath when Queen Selyse barges in.
Well, never mind that….
The other major highlights of the night pertained to the Sisters Stark and the heroes whod dare find them.
Assuming of course, she can follow the breadcrumbs between the previously hapless Brotherhood Without Banners and the Hound.
Albeit, it is the Hound who ends his suffering.
After he gives it, Arya just as cordially runs him through with Needle.
It is a quizzical scene bordering on the surreal and is honestly a hilarious highlight of the night.
But theyre all gone now, dead or at least deceivingly so to the worlds eyes.
Even Winterfell was largely burned and scarred by the Bastard of Bolton.
In its place, Sansa only has the memories of a childhood lost like tears in the snow.
Of course, Lysa saw it all.
Littlefinger made another major step toward all consuming power tonight.
Perhaps that is why Lysa is such a pathetic soul.
She loved a man who saw her as nothing more than her sisters substitute.
I doubt she even felt the sudden stop to it all.
Thus ended another superb night ofGame of Thrones.
In the meantime, I am going to search for some direwolf-shaped bread.
