All the talk of Winterfell getting obliterated led us directly to.THEON! Who was still alive and receiving a kind of exquisite torture we'd all probably would love to see Joffrey go through. But here she heaps all the blame for her family's misery, and the death of her own kids, onto herself because of the fact that she couldn't "love a motherless child." Very powerful stuff. It was a very revealing tale, and one that addresses one of the problems that many readers and viewers had with Cat right at the outset of the entire sage: her irrational loathing of Jon. The later scene with Cat though, featuring her story about praying for Jon Snow's death and then praying for his recovery, made up for the earlier wonkiness. It's just that we only really care about one of them. But, I suppose there's no easy way to saddle up to two horrific shocks to the system. Then Robb breaks the news about everyone else in the world she loves being dead. But it's about her father, who we, as an audience, have never met. Because we enter the scene and Cat's crying her eyes out, and we assume it's about Bran and Rickon. I do question Robb's tactics in delivering news to his mother. The actual "Dark Wings, Dark Words" element of the episode came when Catelyn and Robb received the news that her father, Hoster Tully, had died and.oh yeah, WINTERFELL IS BURNED TO THE GROUND AND EVERYONE WHO WAS THERE HAS BEEN EXECUTED. He was in Season 1 though because I remember him being trounced by Jon during sword training. And Sam's story was pretty much just continuing the trek through the snow that the Night's Watch started last week, except now Sam's being harassed by a co-Crow named Rast - who I don't recall seeing last year. Again, Jon's scene, featuring a glimpse of a Wildling named Orell entering the body of a hawk in order to scout ahead, was there to break the "warg" ice. Osha doesn't much care for all this talk of magic, but she's still sticking by Bran's side. Not a lot of straight information is given though, save for Jojen informing Bran that he's a warg (and has actually been entering the mind of Summer) and that the raven stands for some kind of extra sensory perception ("The raven is you").
The Reeds, from a swampland castle in the North called Greywater Watch, were led to Bran via Jojen's similar abilities. Enter Jojen and Meera Reed, played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Love Actually, Ferb!) and Ellie Kendrick. But him missing the bird was a good thing since it prompted a Ned Stark voice-ove r ripped from the pilot scene Bran was dreaming about. It's also worth noting that Bran's still a crap shot with an arrow in his dreamscape.
Plus, these wacky Three-Eyed Raven dreams allow Hempstead-Wright to use his legs, which must be a small blessing since he has to be so dormant all the time. I'll start things off with Bran who actually, through his dreams, got to cheat and have scenes with other Starks! It must have been cool for actors Isaac Hempstead-Wright, Richard Madden and Kit Harington to play a scene years later after only being together in the pilot. So, a lot of shuffling about, but still great stuff. Jon Snow could have been the one who was left out this week, but his scene was needed to introduce the audience to the concept of a "warg" before it was mentioned in Bran's storyline. Daenerys was gone, which was a little frustrating since she closed out the episode last week with a big moment that I sort of wanted an immediate follow up to. And by the look of the hunters who showed up right at the end, under the Bolton banner, the Bloody Mummers from the books have been replaced/morphed. What it did have however was a bunch of new characters to throw at us The Reeds, Lady Olenna, and the Brotherhood without Banners all made their debut. Except for Sansa and Margaery over in King's Landing, who made some big important strides involving Jofferey.ĭespite a rather crowd pleasing sword battle at the end, this episode didn't have many big dangerous moments like last week's Wight attack on Sam or Warlock attack on Dany. Arya, Bran, Jamie and Brienne all took the stage for the first time this season, while those characters we already saw in "Valar Dohaeris" popped in to slightly continue the threads they began last week. Due to the fact that "Dark Wings, Dark Words," the second episode of Season 3, was still under the obligation to catch us up with main characters we didn't get to see back in the premiere, there was a definite undercurrent of "Premiere Pt.
