Game Of Thrones: No One

Beware! For if you have not seen the episode, you will see spoilers! Game Of Thrones brought us a cracker this week. Both Clegane brothers were in action, in what seemed a contest of who could kill someone in the most gruesome way. We also saw Jamie do a full circle, as good guy- badguy- goodguy -badguy- good guy. Mind boggling stuff!

Starks

Arya predictably survived her mugging from the Waif. She went to lady Crane for help who supplied her with some fantastic bandaging, but dreadful soup. Predictably she then got her neck snapped. The Waif came chasing after Arya, who bolted away through the streets of Braavos. Everything looked pretty bleak for our young ninja Stark, before she whipped out her little sword, put out the candle and then carved off the Waif’s face. Not much else happened in Stark land. This must be the first time the show has ever gone two series without showing Jon Snow. Sansa Stark suffered a blow in her attempt to take Winterfell as her uncle the Blackfish was killed. But we’ll get to that later.

Lannister’s

It was a mixed week for the Lannister clan. Cersei looked ever so pleased as The Mountain used his bare hands to rip off a militant of the faith’s head! But things got bleaker the queen regent. King Tommen banned the use of trial combat, most likely leaving Cersei in hot water. Jamie was definitely the better fairing twin, in ‘No One’ he successfully managed to retake Riverrun without an enormous battle using Edmure as a pawn. He threatened to catapult his little baby. How noble. But the Kingslayer successfully did a full circle when he waved off Brienn and Podrick.

Targaryen

It is strange to see a Lannister now at the forefront of the Targaryen revolution. By most parents Tyrion would be seen as a bad influence. He successfully managed to get two of Dany’s most trusted council members to start necking wine. But things got ugly in Meereen, as the Master came to claim back their slaves. However, Predictably, oh so predictably Daenery’s showed up in the nick of time, with big bad Drogon in the background. If the next episode were not called ‘Battle of The Bastards’ I think it would be safe to assume what the battle would be about. If only England had a saviour like Daenery’s for the Euro’s

Highlights

The Clegane’s go to town fighting style!
