game of thrones season 1 episode 9 episode

Both armies stand on the field of battle, separated only by a handful of still-smoldering flayed men. The two shake hands like the lady bosses that they are. What's more, the Ironborn must stop all raids on Westeros. The final conclusion: Daenerys will back Yara's claim, if she backs Daeny's claim in return. These two would-be queens have a lot in common: Their fathers were terrible kings, their brothers have been truly disappointing, and they both have unapologetic sexual appetites.Įuron, Yara explains, demands an alliance by marriage, whereas, 'I never demand, but I'm up for anything really.' (I could literally hear the tweets flutter by as these words were uttered.) We proceed to witness the beginning of a beautiful friendship that one can only hope blossoms into many, many, many reams of fan fiction. Tyrion is not overly fond of Theon, as the last time they met, the Greyjoy heir made quite a few lame jokes about the dwarf's height.īut the siblings press on, explaining why they're here (they want Daenerys' help) and what they have to offer (100 ships from the Iron fleet).ĭaenerys interrups: 'Has the Iron Islands ever had a queen before?' Yara and Theon have finally reached their destination: the Meereen throne room. Jon is all, 'I'll protect you, I promise.' If you had asked for my advice earlier, I would have told you not to attack Winterfell until we had more men.'Īnd then, the kicker: 'If Ramsay wins, I'm not going back there alive. This is personal, and Jon is walking into a trap. Jon tries to defend himself, but Sansa is on a roll. I know the way his mind works,' she continues, adding: 'Did it ever once occur to you that I might have some insight?' TBH, probably not. Sansa is technically still married to Bolton, yet Jon considers his 'trusted advisors' more qualified to judge what actions to take. You've known him for the space of a single conversation,' she spits. 'So, you've met the enemy, drawn up your battle plans. She clearly has ideas and no one is consulting her, something she makes clear to Jon after the others have left. Later, Ser Davos, Tormund, and Jon plan for battle. 'You're going to die tomorrow, Lord Bolton. Jon, of course, falls right for Ramsay's spiel. 'Will you let your little brother die because you're too proud to surrender?' He has the numbers, and so would rather not risk a dual. This way, they can avoid the whole war thing. After a manly pissing contest of wits, Jon challenges Ramsay to one-on-one combat.

He and his posse are meeting with the Bolton crew, and he would rather Sansa didn't join. In the North, Jon is being kind of a dick. 'Remind them what happened when Daenerys Stormborn and her dragons came to Meereen.' Tell them you lived by the grace of her majesty.'īasically, forget retribution. Tyrion warns the survivor: 'Tell your people what happened here. One of them is pushed forward by his two more cowardly friends. One must die for the collective's crimes. Until, oh wait, here comes the khalasar.ĭaenerys sets most of the fleet on fire, and the masters surrender. The good citizens of Meereen are getting slaughtered by stray Sons of the Harpy. The whole family has come to play.ĭown below, though, things are not so badass. Can she not wield power without being on the back of a fire-breathing dragon?) We finally get to see the other two dragons, who have been locked under the pyramid for the last two seasons. (It's a satisfying sight, but also strangely disappointing. As she puts it: 'We're here to discuss your surrender, not mine.' Her Unsullied will be sold Missandei will be sold and the dragons will be slaughtered.īut wait, there has been a misunderstanding. It's not entirely different.'Ī meeting with the masters reveals that if Daenerys surrenders, she will walk away from the city penniless. Daenerys just wants revenge, it's not the same at all.īut isn't it? 'You're talking about burning cities. (This emphasis on the fire, combined with Cersei's conversation with Qyburn in the last episode, has me convinced that we're about to see something - or someone - go up in flames really soon.) As we know, Aerys kept stores of wildfire under the Red Keep as a contingency plan.
