A fast recap and impressions of Game of Thrones s02e06

Another week, another new episode of Game of Thrones, with the title: The old Gods and the new. 

Let's make a quick recap about it, shall we? :)

Our first location, Winterfell. I knew, this moment would come sooner or later, I hoped, that it will come later, but here it is sadly: The Siege of Winterfell.

I liked Theon in the books till the point he decides to take Winterfell. He's nothing more in my eyes as a last traitor bastard! Ok, enough with that, I have lot to write about.

So....

You little...
Theon the Super-traitor arrived to Winterfell with his men, and commands Bran to yield. Bran can't do much about this situation, so he accepts Theon's command. Greyjoy's first task for Master Luwin is to send a raven to Pyke about the fall of Winterfell, and another to her sister, to send him men. Osha offers herself as a slave for Theon (this will be important later.) Two "swords" of Theon return with the Master-at-Arms of Winterfell, the funny bearded ser Rodrik Cassel. Greyjoy wants to imprison him till he lives, but Cleftjaw has an other idea (how nice to have advisors as a new leader :D ) : he should kill him, to show, that he is talking serious. Dagmer wants to do the task, but Eddard Stark said once, repeats Rodrik : "A man who passes the sentence, should swing the sword." And Theon swings it....4 times, plus a kick is needed to detach ser Rodrik's head from his body. Another main character of the books says farewell to the show.

 North at the Skirling Pass, Qhorin is marching to the planned ambush point with Jon Snow, Stonesnake and two other rangers. Their conversation is about the free folk, the wildlings. Qhorin reminds Jon, that they should take these fights serious, they are fighting against the North itself. The rules are strict, no mistakes are allowed. You know nothing, Jon Snow... :D

In the quick intersection, Tywin greets a guest at his camp in Harrenhal. Guess, who it is? If you were giving the answer "Petyr Baelish", then congrats, you were correct! They are speaking with each other about the war, while Arya is busy hiding her face from Littlefinger. But she makes a small mistake, and I'm not sure anymore, if Petyr recognized her, or not. He may, because he comes up with Cat Stark as his next topic.

Skirling Pass again, the ambush is ready to be fulfilled. It's a very good tactic: Jon attacks from left, Qhorin from the right, while Stonesnake aids them with some arrows.  Two guards have been taken down, Jon is about to kill the third one, BUT wait! SHE is a WOMAN! And she is KISSED BY FIRE by the way! Ygritte (that's her name, and she is my favourite woman character in the ASOIAF-saga btw.) says, that they should burn the corpses, and informs them about the northern forces a bit. Qhorin gives Jon the command to kill her. Lord Snow has to do something with the wildling for sure, because he misses the strike. She tries to escape, but Jon manages to catch her by tackling out her foot. 

Don't do anything stupid
King's Landing, Myrcella has been sent off to Dorne. On the way back to the castle, a riot is starting at the streets of King's Landing. The Lannisters (unfortunately Joffrey and Cersei too ) manage to get out of the situation, thanks to the guards and the Hound. The septon wasn't so lucky: he had been thorn apart by the angry villagers. Sansa got lost in the crowd, 3 men are gonna rape her. But Sandor Clegane comes, and shows those three, that he is no joke: he tears out with the help of a dagger the guts of a guy, and slices the other two, like some vegetables for a soup :D. He saves her, everybody in the castle is happy, except of Joffrey, who got cowshit on his face, and got bitchslapped by Tyrion. HE DESERVED IT! xD

Rescue arrived
 Daenerys is having an argument with the Spice King about getting ships to go back to Westeros. He is a fag, so he leaves. Poor Danny is left behind like a piece of garbage.

Harrenhal, Arya lays a hand on a document, in which his brother, Robb is mentioned. He runs right into ser Amory Lorch, who is going to warn Tywin about it. But Arya "whispers"  (actually, she screams ) the second name in the ear of the Lorathi Jaqen H'ghar, who takes Lorch out with a blowdart. AWESOME!

At the Stark camp, Robb meets Talisa again, and they are having a priceless conversation. Cat and Birenne dropped in too, but shortly, Roose Bolton arrives as well, with a letter from the north (Come on Bolton, TAKE YOUR ASS TO HARRENHAL! YOU SHOULD BE THERE! :D )

It's getting dark in the snowy north, Jon is trying to find Qhorin and the others, but he and his slave, Ygritte need to take a rest for night. They should sleep close to each other, or they'll freeze, advises the wildling, Jon accepts it hardly.

Osha offers herself as a gift for Theon. After the sexy time, she escapes from Winterfell with Bran, Rickon, Hodor and the two direwolves, Summer and Shaggydog. (I said, that scene will be important)

Master assassin Osha :D
And our last skit, at Qarth: Dany arrives at her "housing" with Xaro Xoan Daxos, but something serious happened here: The guards are killed, and the three dragons are missing too. At the very last seconds, we can hear them, while some evil-looking guy is taking them away. HOW CRUEL!

What a mess...

Hope you liked it, stay tuned for next week.
