Of course, CerseiвЂ™s been working on plans other than just alliances and allegiances though. The Tarlies arenвЂ™t so easily swayed though, and Jaime even has to promise Randyll the title of Warden of the South, though itвЂ™s unclear if the loyal Tyrell bannerman will take the position. We get to see SamвЂ™s dad Randyll (James Faulkner) Tarly and his brother Dickon (Tom Hopper) again, as Jaime and Cersei do their best to rile up racist sentiment against DanyвЂ™s invading foreigner armies, the Dothraki and Unsullied.

ItвЂ™s sweet, theyвЂ™re cute, вЂGoTвЂ™ remains committed to their pro-stance on womenвЂ™s oral pleasure, but this scene doesnвЂ™t move us forward in any way, just gets that nudity stamp on the opening TV rating scorecard.Д¬ersei (Lena Headey) and Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) are doing their own politicking at home, trying to sway the Tyrell allies over to their side. With all this talk of war, Missandei and Grey Worm (Jacob Anderson) decide to shoot their shot, and get it on in a curiously long and slow sex scene. вЂњAre you a sheep or a dragon?,вЂќ she asks Daenerys. She and Dany have a one-on-one, where she informs the younger queen that sheвЂ™s known a lot of clever men, and outlived them all, because she ignored them. Everyone seems cool with the plan except Miss Olenna. She and Tyrion inform the crew that they donвЂ™t intend to attack KingвЂ™s Landing, but rather, starve out the army with the Dornish and Tyrell armies, while the Unsullied take Lannister capital Casterly Rock. So much summoning to bend the knee!Дany assembles her dream team for a strategy sesh at Dragonstone: Ellaria Sand (Indira Varma) representing Dorne, the siblings Greyjoy, Yara and Theon (Gemma Whelan and Alfie Allen) and Olenna Tyrell (Diana Rigg). Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) perks up at the mention of his old pal, vouches for his character, and so Dany decides to send him a raven summoning him to bend the knee. Just add Dawn-Bringer to her list of titles.Д«ut maybe, just maybe itвЂ™s вЂњprince AND princess?вЂќ Melisandre mentions the King of the North, Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and asserts that heвЂ™s been doing good work with the Wildlings at the Wall and he hates the Lannisters even more than Daenerys, so heвЂ™s probably a good ally. After some pleasantries, she reminds them of the prophecy, вЂњthe prince who was promised will bring the dawn,вЂќ and Missandei (Nathalie Emmanuel) helpfully tells her Queen D that the noun in high Valyrian doesnвЂ™t have a gender, so it could be вЂњprince or princess,вЂќ which Dany appreciates. They clear that up in time to receive a visitor, the Red Priestess Melisandre (Carice Van Houten), whose backside knows that war room strategy table intimately. Varys talks a good, populist game, claiming to serve the people, not leaders, and says what Dany wants to hear, though she does promise to barbecue his ass if ever betrays her. This time, she wants it from the slippery operator Varys (Conleth Hill), a newer addition to the team. She retreats to the comforts of her favorite hobby-threatening and demanding blind loyalty from her assistants. It is a bit drafty, they havenвЂ™t warmed it up at all. Though Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) has returned to her ancestral homeland, Dragonstone just doesnвЂ™t feel like home to her. ThatвЂ™s never more evident than in Season 7, Episode 2, вЂњ Stormborn,вЂќ written by Bryan Cogman, directed by Mark Mylod. Marauding pirate uncles, undermining sisters, long-lost nephews-itвЂ™s all just a stew of madness and warring bloodlines.

We all got вЂem, theyвЂ™re just a whole lot worse in Westeros. But a startling act of treachery directed at young Bran may end up postponing their respective departures.Sometimes it seems that itвЂ™s only called вЂњGame of ThronesвЂќ since вЂњ Family MattersвЂќ was already taken. Unable to refuse his old friend and king, Ned prepares to leave for King's Landing, as Jon Snow decides to travel north to Black Castle to join the Night's Watch, accompanied by a curious Tyrion. Robert arrives at Winterfell with his wife, Queen Cersei, and other members of the Lannister family: her twin brother Jaime, dwarf brother Tyrion, and Cersei's son and heir to the throne, 12-year-old Joffrey. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea in Pentos, Viserys Targaryen hatches a plan to win back the throne by forging an allegiance with the nomadic Dothraki warriors by giving its leader, Khal Drogo, his lovely sister Daenerys's hand in marriage. Returning home, Ned learns from his wife Catelyn that his mentor, Jon Arryn, has died in the Westeros capital of King's Landing, and that King Robert is on his way north to offer Ned the position as the King's Hand. A Night's Watch deserter is tracked down outside of Winterfell, prompting swift justice from Lord Eddard 'Ned' Stark, and raising concerns about the dangers in the lawless lands north of the Wall.
