I have only one woman in my life. Your sister.
Sure, Game of Thrones is a mess, an essential mess that combine every sorrow imaginable in the most desperate time. And today's episode is no exception.
In the opening scene we have Tyrion Lannister at jail in pleasant clothes. The whole idea of trial by combat had now got up to his chin that he couldn't even speak up with Jaime Lannister. The alleged killer of king Joffrey, though, had some luck in finding a trial buddy, Oberyn Martell, the bad bad playboy, so to speak. But it wasn't unexpected. Well, who expected life to be easy and cheesy like films anyway?
And then there was the not so father and daughter combination riding horses on the road. One black, one white, what's the meaning of this? Black is evil and white is pure? Then I suspect the horse Arya Stark will soon turn bloody as she continues her killing spree. It seems like once she got blood, there's not stopping here. Maybe she was a born killer, maybe the fall of her family and the man besides her changed her perspective of the world, maybe she just think the Sting she has(for now) give her the power to kill(possessed artifact, maybe?). The Hound, on the other hand, expressed fear that was previously hidden. He kills and he barks, but he didn't want to play with fire. And it's very possibly because of the burn on the upper left half of his face. Why else would he avoid fire as though it was a kid.
Khaleesi was the only who had a moment of joy and lust in today's episode. But Mr. Mormont wasn't happy, partly because he didn't like Daario Naharis in the first place, partly because he didn't have the gut to say what he truly wants from Khaleesi. And seems like her plan to free slave would have to take a bit of detour from slaughtering the Masters of Yunkai.
Sansa got a kiss from the old man, who's about the age of his own father, might as well as her sugar daddy for now. Ew. Anyway, Sansa slapped Robin, like the slap landed on Joffrey. Well done girl, all grown up.
Now let's move on to the big stuff. What have we learned from today's episode?
- For starter, karma is a bitch. It's a concept used and reused, but we never got tired. It's so common that we relate to it even without one line of the script saying that thing. But Game of Throne took it too far, and they just have to say it. Karma is a bitch.
- Next, don't build a death well at your own castle, better yet, don't stand around it. Convenience might also means exposing yourself as an easy target. You are making a loophole for yourself to be a potential target. Just like sticking your 7 inch wallet out of your pocket and flashing that 10 inch smartphone in your hand on the street, that's just as well as asking for trouble. Don't say I didn't remind you when you fall down and land on the rocks.
- Also, when your friends treat you like dirt in a life and death situation, seek help from those you don't expect to help. Remember, you are the one who has nothing to lose now, your death wish is just as good as a vault full of gold. You enemies want you dead, but not by other hands. They will keep you alive, just as well as torturing your to death. That's the essence of the Game of Thrones.
- Again, slap those who needed it(Only children are applicable). Especially from an immature girl to a disgusting boy. A slap doesn't mean hatred alone(sometime it does), but also love and care. A slap is as powerful as a curse, only a curse hurts more when applied precisely at a person's most venerable hour.
