Davos Seaworth (dad) is the only one who can melt her icy Mormont heart and convince her that the dead are coming ( +10). Or is she a Lannister? I've heard conflicting reports" - Yes, go back and watch the tape, Lyanna can't even be bothered to remember Sansa's dumb name. Can we agree that Lyanna Mormont is the MVP of this week's episode? Why did I make royal nobody Septon Meribald noted dead woman Catelyn Stark draftable when someone could have been raking in points for Lyanna's spectacular read on Sansa? "Lady Sandra is a Bolton. Up next: Bear Island, a place that sounds like a place a child made up, which is convenient, as a literal child is in charge there. Great! The wildlings are in, but we knew that already. "When we say we'll do something, we do it." ( +10) "Snow," says Wun-Wun in agreement ( +5). (How could anyone need reminding of this? Why has this event been treated so cavalierly by everyone on this show?) "We're not clever like you Southerners," says Tormund when Jon double-checks to make sure the wildlings are on his side. The wildlings are fully with them, especially after Tormund Giantsbane reminds everyone that Jon kind of died for them. Meanwhile, Jon Snow and Sansa Stark were busy with their The North Remembers door-to-door canvassing operation. Did the Septon have secret Valyrian steel? Was the Septon's death an elaborate plot to stoke the fire of vengeance in The Hound and get him back out in the world? It certainly worked! When he told Sandor that he didn't have anything worth stealing, Sandor counterpointed with potatoes and women - but if you go back and watch that final scene, the food has been dumped all over the ground and the women are. Has Septon Meribald been to Westeros? Who sets up an entire camp in broad daylight with no horses or swords? But I also don't get the Brothers' motivation.
While the Hound is out hacking at some sticks, Meribald and his entire crew are brutally murdered by The Brotherhood Without Banners. He gives a sermon where he graphically describes tearing out the throat of a young boy. Stay tuned for the next episode of Bad Septon!Įxcept don't, because he's dead. The Septon seems like a nice enough guy, kindly bringing us up to speed as to how the Hound managed to dodge death (The Hound's explanation: "I'm a big fucker and I'm tough to kill," +5.) He's a former soldier with a very liberal interpretation of the gods - "Maybe they're all the same fucking thing," he offers - and he definitely is rocking whatever the Westerosi version of a Coexist bumper sticker is. Leading the build is Septon Meribald Ray, a character I did not made draftable completely based off despite the casting of Ian McShane. Good ol' Sandor is a changed man since his near-fateful run in with Brienne, and is working on what appears to be a nice Habitat for Humanity build / pop-up dining experience in some lush southern wilderness. Stay tuned for the next episode of Bad Septon
#Game of thrones season 7 episode 2 full tv
When has this show ever done a cold open? Why was the return of The Hound (who, like Benjen last week, is feeling much better now) the first Big Plot Shocker deserving of one? Is this our first indication that Game of Thrones might be turning into a normal TV show? What if Game of Thrones just turns into a procedural drama, except instead of each week opening with a grisly murder scenario to be solved in the ensuing 45 minutes, we open with another "dead" character coming back to life? What if Game of Thrones was the first show to pivot from Deathwatch hype to Lifewatch hype?
In the Game of Game of Thrones - a game of ice, zombies, and psychotic child rulers - nothing's colder than a cold open.
Also, it is the official opinion of The Verge that "Septon Ray" is a really dumb name. The Thronesmaster apologizes deeply for her ignorance. Update: Edited to reflect that Ian McShane's character was undrafted character Septon Ray, not Septon Meribald.
