A Game of Thrones episode centered around the theme of justice. Davos and Stannis try to use the idea of financial justice to get the bank of Bravos to back them. Daenerys has difficulty dealing with justice in her new kingdom. Is justice through judgement possible in the world of Westeros?
Tyrion definitely doesn't think so; especiailly since Cersei and Tywin basiccally doomed him before he ever took the stand. The last half of the episode, with Tyrion's trial, was clearly the stronger half of the episode. At the end, Tyrion went from a broken man to full rage mode within realizing that Tywin had twisted the trial into a method of gaining control over Jaime. Tywin's act of defiance and unwillingness to fall into his father's plan was the best part of the episode, followed by the Jaime's realization that his father had already predicted his offer before he offered it. The mindgames!
Grade: 8.0
Notes:
- Bravos has the coolest looking statue: the soldier wielding the broken sword.
- Even Stannis has to wait at the bank; he's just like us!
- Ramsay showing up at the battle with blood all over his chest smiling was maniacally amusing.
- Theon's sister is badass, too bad Theon is no more.
- "I believe the phrase 'Fuck the king' was uttered". Muhaha.
- Oberyn tried to have sex with an Unsullied, to his disappointment.
- Varys is coldhearted.
- Tyrion goes HAM. Damn that was good.
- Trial by combat! *insert Mortal Kombat music here*
