The seventh season of Game of Thrones starts July 16. As a lead-up, I’m re-watching the first six seasons of the show. Below are 10 thoughts I had while watching the second episode of season four, “The Lion and the Rose.” Spoilers for the entire series, but for this episode in particular.
- I think Myranda is even worse than Ramsay, if that’s possible. It takes a special kind of bitch to do that to another woman.
- How I wish Theon had slit Ramsay’s throat when he had the chance. It probably would have cost Theon his life, but it probably would have saved Rickon’s life.
- Joffrey is such a brat, destroying a rare book. I would have loved your present, Tyrion.
- Melisandre and Stannis are clearly getting desperate at this point. Why else would they resort to human sacrifice?
- Shireen is not having any of Melisandre’s bullshit. I think Melisandre burned the poor girl to death just for not buying into her faith.
- Margaery’s wedding dress is so beautiful. And her hair looks amazing.
- Grand Maester Pycelle is such an old horndog, cornering some young woman and hitting on her.
- Cersei is terrible, choosing to feed the dogs over the poor people of King’s Landing simply as a means of undermining Margaery.
- I think the Lannisters managed to insult nearly every person at the wedding.
- Joffrey, you will not be missed.
