Game of Thrones this week once again disappointed me. I know emails and comments are coming for saying this, but I watch a supernatural medieval show for sword fights/magic not politics and drama. If you didn't see it, then here is what you missed.
Jaime vs Brienne
Brienne and Jaime journey to their destination. As the wonder in the forest and woodsman past them and speaks briefly. Jaime warns Brienne to kill the woodsman because he knows that type will play innocent and sell you out for a few coins. But her honor makes her stupid and lets the woodsman go without harm. The pair cross a bridge where Jaime fucks with Brienne mind. Jaime sees an opportunity and steals Brienne's sword. The fight. Brienne holds back because if Jaime dies the mission is over. Brienne over powers Jaime and captures him, but at the same time soldiers come after being warned about that same woodsman. He sold them out. Guess Jaime was right after all. I wonder if Brienne and Jaime escape again, what will this do to her decision making later.
Sansa and Lady Olenna
Sansa gets invited to join Margaery and her grandmother Lady Olenna. They eat cake and pick Sansa's brain about knowledge of Joffrey. Sansa tells them what Joffrey has done and how he is a monster that take pleasure in torturing and bullying her. Margaery gives Sansa a look like she's rough enough to take his punishment if Joffery will deal it out to her. For some reason, I feel like people play on Sansa's innocence. They know she is young and naive so they easily send her in the direction needed for what they want from her. Lady Olenna says Sansa won't have to worry about Joffrey's cruelity anymore b/c she knows Margaery will endure it if she must in order to become queen.
Tyrion and Shae
Shae ask Tyrion to look after Sansa because little finger is trying to woo her. Tyrion lets Shae know that Sansa will have more suitors b/c she is young and pretty. Shae is insecure and ask if Tyrion has eyes for Sansa as well. Tyrion is a man so he says he notice her. She gets turned on by the fact he's not 100% into her, and has sex with him. Weird but lets us know as long as Joffrey doesn't have Sansa killed then she will have a future to a wealthy man of titles.
Brotherhood without Banners vs Arya
Arya runs into the brotherhood as she journey's aimlessly with her 2 friends from prison. She believes they are to do her harm, so she is defensive. They like her boldness and invite her to eat food and leave when she wants. As she exits, soldiers in the Brotherhood bring a captive to their leader. The captive is the Hound. As Arya tries to sneak past the Hound, the Hound reveals her identity as Ned Stark's lost daughter. What a dirty move, but he was never one to be fair.
Joffrey vs Cersei
Cersei is threatened by Margaery. Margaery is bold beatiful and willing to do whatever is need to be queen. Cersei realizes Margaery is s a younger version of her. She tells Joffrey Cersei associates with low lives, dresses like a whore, and is a widow. She tries implant into Joffrey head Cersei is not a perfect princess. Joffrey tells Cersei that Margaery is a good woman because she does what she is told. I love this SHIT! We are starting to see Cersei plans to overlook Sansa fail. Sansa was meek and cooperative. Margaery is cunning and bold. Cersei knows her influence over Joffrey is passing to Margaery who she can't control unlike Sansa. I wonder if Cersei is going to make a play to get Sansa back in good standing with Joffrey in order to get the potential threat of Margaery out her sons site.
Margaery not knowing what to do with Joffrey
Joffrey mind is torn b/c of Cersei's advice. He starts a confrontation with Margaery, but Margaery quickly uses her charms as a seductress and older woman of knowledge against the over zealous boy. Margaery was married to a man who preferred boys to women, so she finds it hard to judge the effectiveness of her charms on Joffrey. She tries to play Sansa by asking her to describe what dark secrets she knows about Joffrey because he shows little interest in Her. Sansa warns Margaery that Joffrey is into torture and he is "a monster that had her father beheaded". Margaery later learns that deep down inside Joffrey is just an immature and inexperienced boy that can be manipulated by her knowledge as an older woman that is sexually experienced. It foresee this being an interesting plot twist. Weird tho Margaery said she'd kill someone for Joffrey if he like.
Catelyn and Talisa
We learned Catelyn is not this holy woman that does things because she is fair and merciful. She never loved Jon the bastard. She had his mother killed, and is the reason behind the social isolation. She also said she hope Jon die because he reminded him of her husband's mistress. Her streak of misfortune made her remember karma and she is kind bc all she lost. Learned she's just as much a bitch as Cersei. She tells Talisa "Let the boy live and I’ll love him, I’ll be a mother to him … and he lived, and I couldn’t keep my promise.”
Jon and the wildlings
Jon is shown briefly moving south with the wildling before winter. Learn about something call wargs, that can see with animal eyes.
Bran and Jojen reed
Bran stark meets jojen reed. Bran learns he has warg skill and can see the future and past too. According to blogs this is a big moment. I didn't see anything really happen other than he can control animals.
Theone
He gets tortured, but never know why he is tortured. I think its his sister torturing him to toughen him up. He seems a bit too horny and worried about glory
