What I Saw: Game of Thrones, Season 3, Episode 4
When I am wrong, I admit it. And that makes me NOT a Lannister.
I thought that Our Silver Lady Danys would give the Sneering Slave Trader from Atrophy her least favorite Green Dragon, but she gave him her Favorite, Red the Dragon. And Red the Dragon gave the Arrogant Slave Trader a bath of Fire that the Burning Lady of Stannis would envy. I'll bet that the Burning Lady has sailed off to find her own Dragons or trade for some very fiery Habañero Caballeros Peppers. Why burn your enemies from the Outside when you can burn them from the inside with an appealing but deadly Hot Pepper?
"Have a tasty taco, Davos. And you must try some of this fresh salsa with it. Don't stint with the salsa, suck it down." says the Burning Lady.
The Greek Fire of the Battle of Blackwater, the Dragon Fire, and the Fire of the Pitchforks of Theon's Dungeon; we had a lot of fire in this episode. But this is the Song of Fire and Ice, although we didn't have the Ice. You can't keep track of both the Fire and the Ice in one episode. You have to divvy them up.
Jaime and Theon are playing Ring around the Rosey. When are they going to get to where they are going?
Jaime wears a necklace of his Former hand (and Tywin wears a pin of the King's Hand and Margaery [did I put the extra "e" in the right place?] gives Loris' hand to Sansa in a wedding promise) and Cersei tries her hand at political machinations but Tywin slaps her down with his tongue, not hand. Every one was being handy.
Jaime and Brienne are still wandering with the Boys from Bolton, only now, Brienne is giving Jaime pep talks. Before Jaime was "haha" insulting Brienne, just like that supercilious Slave Trader was "haha" insulting Our Silver Lady Danys in his super secret decoder ring language that Danys just happened to know because she had learned it from her cradle. The mobile over Danys' cradle was the Enigma Decoder for that Valerian language. Our Silver Lady Danys is quite the polyglot or Alan Turing. What language is Danys teaching Red and the other dragons? What kind of schooling is she giving them? Is she a Learn-by-Rote teacher? Or is Danys one of those Experimental Learn-by-Doing pedagogues?
I did like the image of Jaime in the mud with his former hand next to his ear. It was as though Jaime was saying metaphorically, "I am listening to you now, Brienne. I am going to shut my nasty scornful and abusive mouth and actually listen to others and maybe learn from them. Maybe." This is Jaime that we are talking about. I wouldn't bet much Lannister gold on that.
Theon didn't wander too far with his Fishy Recuser. He did one turn of the Ring around the Rosie and Theon ended up back in the dungeon on his X marks the Torture Spot after confessing that his "real" father was Ned Stark and that he really didn't kill Bran and Rickon. As If anyone could catch or find Rickon long enough to kill him.
Bran now has a goal in life, he must catch his three eyed raven and wring its neck and eat it, I guess. Catelyn, of course, has her own goals in life and they do not appear to be compatible with Bran's. What is it with Catelyn and her not-so-clever plans? She messed up King Robb the Cute of the North's plans and now Bran's. No wonder Rickon keeps darting around, he doesn't want Catelyn to find him and ruin whatever plans he is coming up with.
Our Joffery is quite the interior designer as I have pointed out before. He gives Margaraery a tour of the throne room with the grisly details of every King of the Seven Kingdom' death and some of their relative's deaths too. You know, I think that Joffery would be happiest running and designing one of those Haunted Mansions for Halloween. Running a kingdom does not give his creativity enough scope. Maybe he will just leave that ruling stuff to Tywin and Margereary who seem to quite like it.
Caster the Incester got his. It wasn't from the Boys from Bolton, they are too busy playing in the mud with Jaime. It was from the Boys in Black at the Wall. Now the Boys in Black at the Wall will have no intelligence about the White Walkers because the scouting party is following its own agenda. But Sam has gained from the brawl with Caster the Incester. Sam now has a wife and a baby boy and he didn't have to do anything but run away to get them. Will Sam go back to the Wall with the Wife? He isn't supposed to have a wife. Or will Sam take off like Jaime and Brienne and wander the country side with no rhyme or reason (well, with no reason, I guess I have to count that song about Her Hair as rhyme).
And now Our Silver Lady Danys has an army with no testes and another army that is intestate if I understand the Boojumed Slave Trader. If an army doesn't have its testes, does that mean that it doesn't have a stomach either? When the army was marching out of Atrophy, I didn't see any supply wagons. The Boys in Black from the Wall can tell Our Silver Lady Danys about the advantages of feeding an army. Freedom ain't Food.
And to mention our other Testes-less councillor in the Seven Kingdoms, Varys, he has found his castrator. Will he go and join Danys' army or become a councillor to her? I don't know, is testosterone supposed to be Fire? Or is it Ice? Maybe Revenge is Ice.
