Hey, speaking of Daenerys: it wouldn’t be a Game of Thrones episode without someone getting taken from behind (delightfully referred to by a maid as “how a hound takes a bitch” - on the nose!). I have literally zero attachment to Robert as a king, so a scene about how worried he is about the Threat Overseas is a cutting-room floor scene at best and heavy-handed allegory at worst.
There’s some general Game of Throning between King Robert and Ned about the marriage of Daenerys to Drago and hand-wringing about what it all means. It is remarkably sweet, despite him giving a ten-year-old a sword. We get a scene between Jon Snow (the bastard) and Arya (the marksman/professional angry child) where he gives her a nice sword before leaving to join what are basically the warrior monks of Westeros, the Night’s Watch. I’m sure they’ll let that one go, chalk it up to a job half accomplished, no big deal. Tyrion then upsets his brother and sister by suggesting the little boy they pushed out a window last episode may live. He remedies his embarrassment by enacting some physical violence on Prince Joffrey, which (spoiler alert!) is going to earn at least two other characters points in this episode alone. Speaking as someone who’s been drunk a few times, a kennel is sort of the last place I go to hang out, sober up, cuddle? But okay, Game of Thrones, fair point, symbology accepted: Tyrion is a bit of a mess. You know, between the last episode and this one, I’m beginning to think the problem is that the Starks just forgot to assign him a room, or ran out. Tyrion wakes up remarkably lucid for someone who is literally sleeping in a kennel.
