Game of Thrones Season 6 episode 2: review
Man it has barely been a few days since the episode aired and
you guys already think Hodor is the Lord of the Light’s main enemy or something
like that. You guys need to calm down with the theories. I digress though
GEEZ!! What an amazing episode though, this season has been pretty damn hype so
far. So much went on this week but I will only hit on a few points this week.
First let us start with Hodor. HE TALKED! He was a stable boy
and his name was revealed to be “Wyllis” (although in the books his name was
Walder). I really don’t know what to make of this flashback. When did Hodor
lose his ability to speak? Why? What is the point of showing Bran these
visions?? I am sure we will know soon at the pace this season is progressing.
This week’s GoT also gave us not one, BUT TWO. Heads being
crushed one by Cesei’s new right hand man, the hound 2.0 and the giant
wilding. One of my favorite moments this
week was Jaime talking the high crow. That was absolutely amazing, felt like
the Jaime of old. Jaime is slowly
getting his fire back and it is amazing to see it happening. The crows have gotten very out of hand of
late but this is all Cersei’s fault soooo.
Now for the main course Tyrion. Tyrion being a Targaryen has
been a pretty strongly believed theory and this week’s episode gave a lot of
gas to the hype train. I personally do think Tyrian is a Targaryen and the way
he was able to interact with the dragons just gave me that much more
confidence. Let’s break down why Tyrion is probably a Targaryen: First the Mad
King Aerys lusted after Tyrion’s mother Joanna. It is hinted at in the books a
couple times including Aerys making the comments that “it was a great pity that
the lord’s right to the first night had been abolished” at Tywin’s and Joanna’s
wedding reception (!!!!). Next which I
feel is really just GRRM throwing hints our way is that Tyrion’s mother died
during childbirth, which is an unfortunate circumstance that he shares with 2
other main characters, Dany and Jon Snow. Of course Dany is a dragon but Jon
snow is also believed to be a Targaryen as well so this could get very
interesting. Lastly Tywin REALLY hates Tyrion which makes a little more sense
if he is the bastard child of the Mad King who raped his wife AND then she died
while giving birth to the child who was a dwarf…. man GRRM has a sick
mind. This is will be a very telling
season for Tyrion.
Ummmm let me think what else happened this week. Ramsey is a
nut, poor Arya, things are finally looking up a bit for Sansa so that’s nice
OHHHH AND JON SNOW IS BACK FROM THE DEAD. Honestly I am just so happy for
Melisandre she is a top 5 favorite of mine and she deserved this! She silenced
all the haters. I cannot wait to see the
look on all their faces when they see.
Mad props to the Onion Knight for the best pep talk ever. What is next
for the newly revived Lord Commander? Lord Ramsey is coming in hot setting up
the match of the century in what has been dubbed the Bastard Bowl, which is
just hilarious.
This season is progressing very rapidly so far and if the
first 2 episodes are any idea then this season is going to be a crazy ride.
Stay Tuned.
Oh and PS Euron is here now, the Irons Islands are about to
turn TF up. He already threw one person off that bridge.
