The most disturbing thing about this episode is Stannis burning her daughter alive for what he believes is the greater good, justifying himself with "If a man knows what he is and remains true to himself, the choice is not choice at all. He must fulfill his destiny and become who he is meant to be, however much he hate it." He believes he is the one true king and the one above the rest as a man with a great destiny upon him and with god backing him off. He will probably get disappointed after his god is a demon after all and all his plans are ruined. He will really regret doing the thing he did. At least the other players believe in themselves and not in some god that ask you to kill your daughter. And the mom regretted killing her own daughter at the last moment, she worried about her at the last correct moment. When all he did before was despising her.

A Dwarf... Is He?
28 December 2018
Oh my god! Peter Dinklage really shined here with his tone and speech. He shows guts and a fierce determination that could destroy everyone in his way. He might be small but he is a giant in every other aspect. We have tension, drama and betrayal. Amzing effects for a TV show, a lot of extras, good shots the final 3 minutes are almost perfect.
Surprise!
27 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This episode is insane, killing off two major characters right off the bat and leaving only Bran, Sansa, Arya alive as Stark and Jon as the legacy of Ned. The betrayal of Walder Frey was a feast of blood. And now the Lannister will reign as the supreme leaders until Daenerys enter the picture or Stannis with his demons. Now I want to see what will be of Arya, Jon and Bran.
Mercy, please...

Ruthless Prince? King?
24 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
What's more important for you Eddard, your children or your honor? Catelyn makes a deal with Lord Walder a despicable man that rape young womans and have dozen of children. Arya won't be happy and for sure won't submit to it. Robb makes plan to attack the Lannister and Jon meets Aemon Targaryen. Khal falls of his horse and seems like the wound was worse than it seemed. It may be the healer fault maybe she was trying to kill him by infecting and irritating the wound, who knows. Daenerys wants the healer to sacrifice a horse and do magic to save Khal. Tyrion befriend a woman and tells she and Bronn about her failed relation when he was a boy. That's sad just like when "half man" makes his speech and is trampled and fall down unconscious without even starting the war. Robb captures Jaime at the cost of 2000 man. The price of war. And Eddard is about to face his "crimes" and he chooses his daughter instead of the honor. But that's not enough for the new illegitimate King. He take his head instead. Even after what Sansa and his mother said. People even throw him rocks when they don't even know the full story. "My mother wishes me to let Lord Eddard join the Night's Watch. Stripped of a titles and powers, he would serve the realm in permanent exile. And my Lady Sansa... Has begged mercy for her father. But they have the soft hearts of women. So long as I am your king... Treason shall never go unpunished. Ser Ilyn... Bring me his head!" Ruthless Prince-now-King.
Who do You Trust?

Warning: Spoilers
Tywin Lannister wants Jaime to be who he was meant to be. A ruler I suppose. "When you play the game of thornes, you win... Or you die. There's no middle ground." That's true and so far Cersei have played her cards better. Littlefinger confess his loyal love for Catelyn to Roz. While he can't win in a duel he have others means to play this game of thrones. Roberth is in the blink of the death for a boar that he couldn't finish because he was drunk. Daenerys walks with Jorah while he counsel her to have patience. While Jorah is doble-crossing Khalessi obtaining the royal pardon. A merchant is offering wine and is used to obtain Khalessi attention and then kill her. But he backs off and don't give her the glass of wine instead he gives her a barrel but then Jorah comes to picture regretting what he did at the last possible minute. Khal decides to make his son lord of the seven kingdoms. Meanwhile in the Night's Watch Jon isn't chosen as a ranger instead as a stewards for lord commander Mormont personal slave. Eddard decides that Baratheon Stannis older brother of Renly should be the next heir. Even if that means war. Just because he is the rightful heir. Eddard and his weird morals and honor is getting annoying. Even if it's mean war for the kingdom he chose that answer because is the honorable option. He is losing in the game of thrones. Littlefinger betrays Eddard like expected and says, "I did warn you not to trust me."
Real Dragon?
23 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Daenerys put a Dragon's egg into the fire and then take it out with her hands but didn't get burn marks like Irri did when she was helping her. Robb had a discussion with Theon and he says to him that he is not from this house. After Bran is cornered by some thieves. Robb comes to his saving taking off one of them. But then his brother is taking hostage to which Theon kills him and not a single thanks from Robb. And where is everyone else? Shouldn't they be more guarded? Daenerys eats a heart and names his son Rhoan in honor to his uncle. Tyrion asks for an opportunity to confess his "crimes" to which he don't talk about trying to kill Bran, of course, he didn't do it. Instead he asks for a fight trial. And ask for someone to fight for him. Bronn fights for him and kill the man unhonorably. I knew he couldn't fight like he said so I suppose this should be what a man in his position should probably do. And yet asking for someone to him is asking for lady luck message because he can't know if the fighter will be capable or would sacrifice himself so he die. There should be other way, unless he had some sort of agreement with Bronn beforehand. Joffrey ask for forgivness to Sansa, she says that she doesn't need to apologize he for nothing and then he says that he will never be cruel or disrespect her again. And like a Disney movie they kiss. Except this is not a Disney world. Sansa is inside a fairy tale delusion and she might be used by the Lannister for their own benefit. And she will be caught in the cross fire. Eddard sees some old book about the Baratheon house lineage and all of them have black hair but Joffrey. And yet the data is too small and the mother genes are important too. So I get what they tried to do here and as such I will let it pass. Viserys has gone mad and now threats Daenerys unborn child to get a crown and so Khal accepts but is a crown made with fire. And so he dies at contact. And no real Dragon can die from fire. So he was not a Dragon. Daenerys is the real Dragon.
Tyrion's Demise?
23 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Bran sees a three-eyed crow in his dream it might be a hint for something in the future who knows? Tyrion gives Bran an idea of something that even someon that can't walk can use to ride a horse. Tyrion might be aggressive, go directly to the point and push many buttons in the ones he talks. But he speaks the truth that no one dare to say even if is not welcomed. The character grows on me because even if he is too aggressive about things he had it hard. His father never liked him because he is a dwarf and yet he have a soft spot in his hearth that has grown in me. "You will marry a high lord and rule his castle. And your sons shall be knights and princess and lords. No. That's not me. " From Arya I am expectant about who will she become in the future. "I don't like high places. You can't fight. You can't see. You're afraid of heights and almost everything else probably. What are you doing here, Sam? On the morning of my 18th nameday, my father came to me. "You're almost a man now," he said. "But you're not worthy of my land and title. Tomorrow, you're going to take the black, forsake all claim to your inheritance and start north. If you do not," he said, "then we'll have a hunt and somewhere in these woods your horse will stumble and you'll be thrown from your saddle to die. Or so I'll tell your mother. Nothing would please me more." I hope he gets his vengeance not in form of blood. But becoming an important soldier of the Night's Watch. The King makes Jaime listen behind the door when he makes sex with his sisters and others. It seems like the Queen being Lannister didn't help them much. The horse war "destrier" tournament. The hound older brother killed a man by his throat. The reason the hound have half of a face burned is because his older brother burned him down when they were young. "I was also trained to kill my enemies, Your Grace. As was I." A direct threat by Ned to which Cercei reply. Which was practically a declaration of war. What a cliffhanger! Lady Stark should gad waited for more proof... This little man is innocent. I am expectant to see how he slip out of this.
Winter is Coming

Warning: Spoilers
"It felt like justice. Is that what you tell yourself at night? You're a servant of justice? That you were avenging my father when you shoved your sword in Aerys Targaryen's back? Tell me, if I'd stabbed the mad king in the belly instead of the back, would you admire me more? You served him well... When serving was safe." Ned honor make him dislike Jaime actions, because he broke his vow. And yet I think he did what was right, even if he didn't had the best intentions. Joffrey is like how he is thanks to his mother and the ambient he live on. He expect to do whatever he pleases in the right moment like his mother says. "Everyone who isn't us ir our enemy." Arya is a promising character, negleting everything related to prince, Queen or King. It could be related with age but still. She doesn't want to be a princess and she doesn't follow normal traditions. Is like she is neglecting the world she lives on. I am intersted to see what is of her in some years. Peter Dinklage actuation is superb. I really like his tone that is charismatic and wise mixed up with some arrogance. The King doesn't particularly like the Lannister or the Kingslayer. Daenerys as the Khaleesi is growing up and even is now giving birth to a child. This 3rd epsiode is amazing starting from the scenery to the characters growing up slowly each chapter and I am especially waiting to see what "The winter is coming" Will bring to the table this next episodes.
