His series-beginning incest-protecting Bran shove aside, Jaime is turning out to be a bit of a mensch. I’ve forgotten so much.) He explained that King Aerys II Targaryan had, for various paranoid reasons, enlisted a bunch of pyromancers to burn King’s Landing to the ground. (I’d forgotten about their bathtub-confessions scene. Well, it did: in season three, during his magical journey with Brienne of Tarth, Jaime talked about the wildfire plot.
Perhaps you didn’t remember this even during that montage. Perhaps you, like me, had forgotten entirely that Jaime’s killing of the Mad King had anything to do with wildfire. The vision continues: a wildfire-Kingslayer-Red Wedding mashup, with accents of Children of the Forest and the teen N.P.H. He sees a vessel on an alchemist’s shelf the Night’s King in the “You want a piece of me?” pose at Hardhome his own fall from the tower window a sky rushing across clouds, possibly for atmosphere his mother, not enjoying the Red Wedding the shadow of a flying dragon Daenerys Targaryen a glowing-eyed baby in a “G.o.T.”-style Björn, a knifelike fingernail held to his face Ned Stark’s beheading, and so on.

Behind those all-seeing eyeballs, he is fast-forwarding through the entire plot of “Game of Thrones”-and these visions are full of wildfire. Bran is still having a good snooze-or, more accurately, cramming for his new life as the Three-Eyed Raven by having visions of historical importance. In the battle of ice versus fire, I’m rooting for fire.Īs the episode begins, Meera is pulling Bran in a sled. It’s green, it’s magical, it’s hot, and, as we were reminded last night, there’s a ton of it at King’s Landing.
Last night’s episode, “Blood of My Blood,” reminded us about wildfire, Walder Frey, and a mysterious figure from the past. I enjoy the warging and the greensight, but keep the Children of the Forest out of my hair-unless they can help us undo this mess they created, White Walker-wise. I’m a hypocrite, I suppose, to accept the dragons and direwolves into my heart-not to mention Melisandre’s one reasonable feat of hocus-pocus-and to reject the White Walkers, their tedious legions of wights, and anything having to do with dragonglass. snarlers, staggering toward us in a grim blue-gray snow. Less screen time for Lannisters, eunuchs, and armored heroines, more screen time for neon-eyed C.G.I. One of my fears about “Game of Thrones” is that it, along with Westeros, will be slowly overtaken by armies of the dead. In the latest episode, Dany gives a Khaleesi’s version of “ask not what your country can do for you”: “Will you ride the wooden horses across the black salt sea? Will you kill my enemies in their iron suits?” Courtesy HBO
