Game of Thrones –
6.04 – Book of the Stranger
Well, now I feel silly! I completely guessed incorrectly as
to how Daenerys’ pickle was going to get resolved and I’m glad I was totally
wrong, as what happened on screen was much better than I could imagine. Alicia
Keys and Katniss Everdene would be proud. While it was a triumphant moment for
Dany on a story level, finally acting rather than reacting, she did kill a
whole load of people, so on a fantasy league level, she didn’t score too
highly. It’s emerging that the most valuable point to gain this season is
Reunites with Previously Lost Blood Relative as this season is all about family
reunions: Starks, Greyjoys and Tyrells alike, returning to each other.
Hopefully this will continue, as potentially Margaery and Ser Loras could
reunite with Olenna and Mace Tyrell. You can be sure Theon will gain some
around his uncle in forthcoming weeks, and maybe Jon and Sansa might hook up
with Rickon? After this last episode, I can’t wait to see what the next
episodes bring!
After the detailed points, here are the scores for the fourth episode of Season 6.
Possible points of
contention:
I could not give Tyrion, Varys, Missandei or Grey Worm
points for walking around a garden plotting as I could not tell whether or not
they were in a Meereenese garden.
Likewise I could not award Baelish the same as there was
very little walking.
None of the people at Castle Black gain points for drinking
wine as it’s not confirmed that the alcohol is wine, it is most likely ale.
Ser Jorah and Daario both gain points for witnessing magic
when they see Daenerys emerge from the flames unscathed. Dany does not.
