The seventh season of Game of Thrones starts July 16. As preparation, I’m re-watching the first six seasons of the show. Below are 10 thoughts I had while watching the sixth episode of season four, “The Laws of Gods and Men.” Spoilers for the entire series, but for this episode in particular.
- Stannis is not worthy of you, Ser Davos.
- Ramsay really has thoroughly broken Theon.
- Those poor little goats. I understand dragons have to eat, but I doubt that’s any comfort for the goats.
- Part of being a good ruler is being merciful. Daenerys needs to learn that, or she’ll end up like her father.
- Of course Varys, who people think is a pedophile, is actually asexual. The real predator is much smoother.
- You just know Tywin loves sitting on the Iron Throne. I think it looks very uncomfortable. Give me a nice couch any day.
- Exactly what technology do the maesters have for testing poisons that they detect it on Sansa’s necklace? This is Game of Thrones, not CSI.
- Jaime does try to be a good brother. At least, he does when he isn’t raping his sister.
- Shae, how could you? So much for love.
- Tyrion really should have just demanded a trial by combat from the beginning.
