Talking of powerful women, we checked in with Cersei, who might soon regret betraying everyone else and making her own plan, though she's committed, we'll give her that. Most are dead now." You've come a long way, Sansa.
But as Tyrion says, "many have underestimated you. And now, with just a short while to enjoy her wintry inheritance, here comes some blonde, with her brother's (or not) er, loyalty wrapped around her little finger. Years of betrayal and brutality have sharpened her edge and made her less a whiny girl and more a thoughtful, tactical woman. Indeed, Sansa comes out of this episode a lot better than she has in the past. After all, she has dragons and as Sansa rightfully points out, how are they supposed to feed the influx of new arrivals, not to mention two giant scaly beasts? They're only right to distrust this powerful Targaryen, given what they know of her father, even if she's going out of her way to play nice. In many ways, Dany is his waterfall, the thing he shouldn't be chasing (especially since we now know she's his aunt), but since when did Jon Snow make smart choices?Īside from the various meetings and joke lines (and a lot of chatter about eunuchs), tension was fully at the heart of the episode, as the various forces of the North welcomed Dany and her armies with all the warmth and trust of a teenager meeting their step mother for the first time. Because that's Jon Snow for you, he never listened to TLC on that front.

If you thought last season's finale, which feels like it was years ago, was packed full of reunions, Winterfell, for so was the episode named, doubled down on that as family reconnected in ways both sweet and awkward, revelations spilled out (poor old Sam learning of his family's crispy demise) and Jon and Dany took a few moments out of important battle preparations to go fly dragons and make out near a waterfall. Beware! The night is dark and full of terrors, and this review will have spoilers.
