A fast recap and impressions of Game of Thrones s02e08

I start today's blog with my common apology: sorry about last week, I had to do more important things than writing. But please, cheer up: Today's d- d- d- -DOUBLE BLOG time! :D

First, about last week's episode, and after that, about yesterday's episode!

People liked last week's thematics, so this will follow the same :)

Last weeks episode was episode 18, with the title: The prince of Winterfell.

RECAP-TIME! :D

Our first location is at Winterfell. It seems like Theon and Dagmer don't want to pay the phone bills: the dead ravens are being poured out of a vessel. A guard screams: "Rider approaching! Open the gates!" That's right: Traitor-bastard's cutie sister pays a visit to her baby brother, and gets really comfy in the throne room with his men. Theon shows off : "Look sis, what a super badass your brother is! " But Yara has an other opinion: "You IDIOT! You took Winterfell, which is the home of Starks. Once Stark's bannermen get this, you'll become grinded meat!" "I don't care about it... we can hold it, even with 20 men, I'm a genius!" replies that son of a bitch. "Please, at least die at home...Even if you're a jerk, you're my brother..." Well, Yara has a caring, sensitive side too :)



At our last scene, Luwin notices Osha running out of the kitchens. "Wait a minute! If she's alive, then..." and he's right. They're all down in the crypt of Winterfell alive, and without a scratch. "Those were the farmer's boys. Bran shouldn't know it, because he would only blame himself". But Bran's awake in the neighbor room, and hears everything...


Beyond the Wall, positions changed: keeper became captive, captive became keeper. Ygritte and the wildlings took Mr. Snow to the Lord of Bones, Rattleshirt, who is one of Mance Rayder's "captains" . "Wha'?! An other crow? I have already one, don't need an other!" "Mance could interrogate him. He is the bastard of Ned Stark, and a member of the Night's Watch! He could know things..." replies the ginger woman. 





 They put Jon Snow next to the other crow, who is actually the HALFHAND! He tells Jon, that he should prove things to Mance, if he gets in front of him. Right after that, Qhorin's theatre opens it's gate: " You bastard! How could I trust you!?" yells he at Jon, while knocking him over from his feet. Ygritte doesn't like folclore, she isn't impressed by their production. We can read from her eyes: "You two can't fool me." 



Sam, Grenn and Dolorous Edd are shoveling snow on the Fist, and speculating, if Jon is still alive. But not for a long time, because Grenn finds a big stone under the snow with a sign of the First Men. It hides an old cloak, in which arrowtips and blades made of dragonglass (obsidian) are wrapped in. Why could it be here?


At Robb's camp (exactly, at the outskirts of it ) , the young wolf and the leech are having a conversation about Robb's upcoming marriage of convenience. " What is she like? How does she look like? " asks Talisa. "Errm....I don't know" answers Robb. "It's only because politics." "LOL, you shouldn't do such a thing!" reacts the woman from Volantis (the dialogue is priceless). This situation is going to get really awkward, but a soldier of Stark arrives. "The Kingslayer escaped again." "AWW, Come on?! How the hell, I put a tons of chains on him!!!" "Well...."



"MOOOOOOOM!!!! WTF have you done?! You let Jaime Lannister free?! Why?" arrives Robb "at home". "My sons are captives in Winterfell, and my daughter's are captive at King's Landing. May they let them go, if I give him back."Robb says, that this was a really bad idea, Cat will be guarded day and night. Already 40 men are after Jaime Lannister. "Send 40 more!" commands Robb.

The adventures of The Ugly And The Kingslayer begins: Brienne brings Jaime back to King's Landing. At the moment she removes the sack from Jaime's head, he starts to insult her: "OMG, you're uglier than at nighttime! " , but it seems like Brienne is wearing her anti-abuse-armor :D She puts him in a boat, and starts to row.



 Roose Bolton asks Robb if he could send his bastard, Ramsay Snow to liberate Winterfell, and capture Theon Greyjoy. "Okay, go...." replies Robb , seems like he doesn't like this plan. Talisa approaches, and wait WHAT?! In medias res, my friend...Like on the battlefield...Nice move, Robb :D

Meanwhile at Harrenhal, Tywin and his council is planning their next move. "We'll surprise them at night. Clegane, you're the new boss around here."
Arya tries to find Jaqen, but he's out for patrol. As he returns, Arya asks him to fulfill the third death: "Help us to escape." "Ohhoho! That's more than one death! " "Then my third name is Jaqen!" Okay...

As night gathers, Arya, Gendra and Hot Pie are at the gates, as planned, but it seems like, that the guards are still there. They are there, but a little less "living" :D  Jaqen did a great job. (Hope we see him in this season one more time :) )

Behind the walls of King's Landing, Tyrion is planning the defense against Stannis...well, he tries to, but his buddy, Bronn annoys him while cleaning his nails, and looking at the Imp. "You want to defend the city with books. We could throw them on the fighters of Stannis. Later, Varys arrives too. "How could we defend this city?" "With pigshit" replies the dwarf.

Later, he and Cersei are having a drink together. "You sent my daughter to Dorne, want to take my son to the battlefield, but I have something, that belongs to you!I have your whore!" . "Oh shit", thinks Tyrion, but at the time they bring Ros in, he calms down. Ros and Tyrion both play the lovers good, they manage to fool Cersei . "She will suffer as much as Joff." says the queen regent.

Tyrion runs to Shae, thank the Seven, she's alive. Tyrion confesses his love to her.

Next day, Joff the Turd shows us, that he doesn't have experiences in battles. Later, Varys and Tyrion are having a priceless conversation. "Daenerys Targaryen lives, and has three dragons" finishes Varys.



There are two quick scenes too: one on Stannis's ships, and one in Qarth. At the first, we get a bit history lesson about the siege of Storm's End, and about the future plans of Stannis the Ham. At the second one, Mormont tells Dany, that he found a ship, they can go to Astapor. "But not without my dragons!" replies the Mother of Dragons.


Well, that was it, hope you enjoyed it, stay tuned for the next blog too.
