The new 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 eighth episode of season six, “No One.” Spoilers for the entire series, but for this episode in particular.
- What the Hell did Qyburn do to The Mountain that made him so strong? He’s basically a horror movie villain now.
- I’m glad Jaime let Brienne keep Oathkeeper. She’ll probably put it to better use than he would, anyway.
- Tommen went from being under Cersei’s thumb to being under Margaery’s and now he’s under the High Sparrow’s. Whereas no one could control Joffrey, Tommen is far too easily manipulated.
- The scene with Tyrion explaining jokes to Missandei and Grey Worm makes me laugh. I’m glad the writers know how to include some humorous moments on this show.
- With Jaime it really is two steps forward, one step back. Just when I start to think he’s becoming a decent guy, he threatens to commit infanticide.
- If I were Daenerys and I came back to see my city being attacked I’d be so pissed.
- I’m really looking forward to watching The Hound and the Brotherhood Without Banners fight some White Walkers.
- I think that the Waif became a Faceless Man because she enjoyed killing. She was almost as sadistic as Myranda and Ramsay, judging from the way she killed Lady Crane.
- At least all that time Arya spent without her eyesight finally paid off.
- “A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell. And I’m going home.” – You tell him, Arya!
