You don’t see a pirate parading his own niece and a Dornish noblewoman through the streets, you see a guy who is going to keep your favorite brothel firmly un-burnt. But if that same queen tells you that this Targaryen invader is the second coming of her insane father and plans to swoop down with her three monstrous dragons any day now, you buy it. You see a queen doing a Walk of Shame, you don’t think, you just throw your poop. When you spend your entire existence living under history’s most corrupt political structure, you learn to react solely with emotion. The residents of King’s Landing are simple, fickle people. Simply put, this means that Cersei’s smear campaign against Daenerys is working.
TYRION LANNISTER QUOTES S07E03 HOW TO
But how to explain why Flea Bottom commoners are lining up to cheer on this literal sea monster like he is LeBron James returning to Cleveland? That insane pirate bastard promised her a gift, then casually sailed into the open ocean to destroy Yara Greyjoy’s entire fleet and put an end to Daenerys’ invasion plan before it even started. I mean, I know why Cersei Lannister would welcome Westeros’ most bloodthirsty pirate back to the Red Keep with open arms.
To quote Mel Brooks in 1987s Spaceballs: “The ship is too big. Remember when people used to say “send a raven” and that raven would show up like six episodes later? No more. Game of Thrones is officially in no-time-for-nonsense mode. Hey, maybe he’ll find Gendry while he’s out there.īasically, “The Queen’s Justice” is going to begin with a seven month time jump, or the revelation that Jon Snow can fly.Īnd you know what? That’s amazing. Or, he either scaled the thousand-foot peaks of The Vale or go by water, which after “Stormborn” probably involve bumping into Theon floating on a piece of driftwood. That’s the same way his brother Robb went once upon a time, and you may remember it turned into such a hullabaloo it eventually wiped three-quarters of the Starks from the planet. Jon could have taken the straight route, down the King’s Road, across the Barrowlands and The Neck, then through The Twins at the River Trident. Pull up any map of Westeros and you may notice that the Stark’s northern stronghold is several hundred miles away from the Targaryen house o’ dragons, with seemingly no convenient route in between. Jon, on the other hand, came to Dragonstone to convince Dany that “dear lord there is an army of zombies and ancient ice warriors coming to kill us all, please let me borrow, like, one dragon.” But also that he has the best hair.Īnd, if all that wasn’t enough, there’s still one major question that somehow tops the rest…. Dany sees this meeting as a chance to convince Jon she is the rightful heir to the Iron Throne and also has the best hair. That said, their agendas couldn’t be more different. Like I said last week, these two beautiful humans don’t even know they’re related, a revelation that would change quite literally everything happening on this show. The real intrigue, though, comes from how much goes unspoken. The universe has been pushing these two characters together since around 1994, is what I’m saying. Jon is also the blue winter rose that Dany sees growing from a wall of ice in her vision inside the House of Undying? Well, not confirmed, but come on.
Jon is secretly half-Targaryen? Confirmed. “The Prince who was Promised,” occasionally called Azor Ahai, who will deliver us from The Long Night by bringing the dawn? Probably Jon, maybe Dany, honestly could be both thanks to last episode’s High Valyrian linguistics lesson. “The dragon has three heads”? Dany and Jon are almost assuredly two of them. Story-wise, my goodness: Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow are at the center of roughly every single Game of Thrones fan theory and prediction not involving Sandor Clegane fighting his zombie brother. Here’s to hoping this reignites the silver-tongued charisma machine that was the Tyrion Lannister of old, as opposed to the severely depressed homeless man in a leather jerkin he’s been since Season 5. The last time that many capital A-list Game of Thrones cast members were under the same roof, they were winning an Emmy. For one, just from a technical standpoint, we’re getting Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage, Liam Cunningham, and Carice van Houten in the same room. Besides instant, incestuous sexual tension, nothing is guaranteed from an interaction this volatile and game-changing meet-up, but the possibilities are endless.
