Game of thrones season 2 episode 6
In the books, another character makes a similar venture into the basement and is not nearly as lucky, and though Missendei remarks on how she has never felt threatened by them, we've seen how temperamental dragons can be, even occasionally snapping at their mother. Tyrion coming face to face with Viserion and Rhaegal was bound to happen given his lifelong fascination with dragons, but his returning unscathed clearly surprised him more than anything. Though, were we to believe every theory then just about everyone is a secret Targaryen, but it was hard not to at least consider the possibility when Tyrion made his way to the basement of the Great Pyramid.
Book readers have theorized that may be because he isn't a Lannister after all, but instead a secret Targaryen. There has never been any real proof that Tyrion isn't a Lannister, and in fact several characters in the books remark how alike Tywin and Tyrion actually are, but it's hard to ignore his ostracization from the other of the lions of Casterly Rock. Except for Jaime, the Lannisters have always despised Tyrion, with his late father outright questioning his legitimacy. 'Home' focused on family quite a bit, but for a character like Tyrion, his family has never been his strength.

Then again, Ser Robert Strong certainly proved himself a formidable bodyguard, making it seem all the more likely Cersei will win her forthcoming trial by combat. Will it be enough to ensure he lives? Maybe, maybe not. Unknowingly, of course, but it's heartwarming nonetheless. South in King's Landing, Tommen mourns his sister, but her death has the Lannisters putting together a unified front, with Tommen strengthening his bond with both his parents. Presumably, these two sisters will meet again in the future, but that reunion still feels seasons away. As book readers are already aware, the history of Westeros is significant (in particular what took place during Robert's Rebellion) and through Bran the show has found a way of communicating that.Īs for the other Stark children, Arya continues her training with the Faceless Men in Braavos while Sansa asks Brienne of her sister's whereabouts. Bran's training with the Three-Eyed Raven has been progressing, and as we suspected, his visions will begin revealing the important events which happened before Game of Thrones' story began. Bran, along with Meera and Hodor, reappeared after being absent for all of season 5. Though the pace was deliberate, much transpired during last night's episode, leaving quite a lot to unpack. Last week's premiere set the stage for the events to come and ' Home' slowly began pushing characters into action - and in some cases, taking narratives far beyond what's been revealed in George R.R Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels. The pacing of the first two episodes of Game of Thrones season 6 has been quite slow.
