The next season of Game of Thrones starts July 16. In preparation, I’m re-watching the first six seasons of the show. Below are 15 thoughts I had while watching the tenth episode of season three, “Mhysa.” Spoilers for the entire series, but for this episode in particular.
- Seeing Robb’s body with Grey Wind’s head on it breaks my heart. As if it wasn’t bad enough that they were both killed.
- Sansa is so innocent. I hate that her world is about to shattered again.
- I can’t help but laugh at Tywin sending Joffrey off to bed like he’s a misbehaving toddler.
- The inclusion of the story of the Rat Cook is a good way to explain the severity of Walder Frey’s crime. It also foreshadows how Arya gets revenge on him.
- I know what Theon did was horrible, but I can’t help but feel sorry for him. Ramsay has taken his freedom, his penis, and now his name.
- Ramsay really is a class act, sending Theon’s penis to Pyke.
- Balon is as loving a father as Tywin. The two could get together and talk about what disappointments their children are.
- I love Yara standing up to Balon in defense of Theon. She might pick on her brother, but she really does love him.
- Shae really should’ve taken the diamonds Varys gave her and sailed far away from King’s Landing.
- Arya gets a small bit of justice for Grey Wind and Robb here. That makes me feel a bit better.
- Maester Aemon had a good heart. Not everyone would have taken Gilly and her baby in.
- Here’s where Gendry gets put on a boat. I wonder if we’ll ever see him again.
- There have been so many reunions I’ve hoped for throughout the six seasons of this show. Jaime and Cersei’s is not one of them.
- I’m so glad Davos wasn’t executed. I don’t think I could handle the death of another good character after the last episode.
- Thank goodness this season ended on a somewhat hopeful note, with Daenerys being embraced by the people she has helped liberate.
