Season 6 Episode 6
It had to happen.
Thus presumably next week will also be about positioning the pieces before season 6 makes its final power plays.
Nonetheless, Blood of My Blood struck me as a bit of a mixed bag.
For Daenerys partisans, it should perhaps give you pause about the longevity of the Targaryen bloodline.
It also would be more compelling than honestly a lot of what happened to Bran tonight.
I imagine this is how many mothers feel about the most vacant ofWorld of Warcraftaddicts.
Half-monster and half-hero, he is the closest this world has to a Daywalker.
Indeed, he is the Westerosi Blade!
There were similar narrative constraints this week revolving around Sam and Gilly.
Who knows, maybe Gilly will do Sam the favor and slit the old mans throat?
Im sure plenty of viewers would cheer at that grisly sight.
The first occurred in Braavos where Arya Stark revealed that she is still a girl with a name.
This inevitability comes to a head when Arya unsurprisingly chooses to spare Lady Cranes life.
The decision is the result of her watching the meta play-within-a-show for apparently the third time.
No kidding; this matron of the stage aint just whistling The Rains of Castamere.
His only quid pro quo is that it should be painless.
Then, hell kill blondie instead.
Alas, I doubt it is actually so.

Luckily, Aryas exit is already crystal clear.
Something tells me she knows the role intimately.
ForgetGame of Thrones; I cant wait to see Aryas future acting company interpret this into their next production.
I, like so many, wanted to see Jaime behead this High Septon.
I also cannot help but wonder if Margaery regrets the pact she has made with the Sparrows.
Meanwhile on the page, Jaime is at least attempting to develop something resembling a conscience.
Now, millions ofOutlanderfans know him as Black Jack Randall.
Either way, it is always good seeing the underrated Tobias Menzies onscreen, no matter the context.
They have treated him relatively well up to this point.
But its still effective.
I wonder if she is already contemplating who will be her fellow dragon riders on the two other children?
She talked about having bloodriders, so she must be definitely putting some thought into dragon riders.
I remain optimistic that Tyrion will eventually be steering one of these beasties into battle.
But that is for another episode (and probably another season).
But unexpectedly, the power axis has firmly changed this season.
It just makes us wish we could jump right to the next couple of Sundays and watch them.
