Game of Thrones 6×04: Ice and Fire at War

The fourth episode of the sixth season of Game of Thrones there were some (few) moments of happiness and others of tension, but the overall balance made the main plots take their course. As usual, the episode started on the wall, but ended very hot.

Jon Snow is packing his bags to explore the world outside of Castle Black, while Painful Edd tries to convince him to stay. Jon is very incisive and stands firm in his decision: “I swore my life to the Night's Watch. I gave my life…They killed me, my own brothers“, until the trumpet sounds, the gate opens and a meeting (already expected) takes place. Sansa sees her stepbrother and joy takes over both of them.

Finally Stark leaves his professional status of “Sonsa” aside and convinces Jon to go fight to retake winterfell, Stark home after reading the letter Ramsey addressed to him. Jon decided to unite the wildlings commanded by Tormund to fight Ramsey, the current "protector" of the north. And speaking of Tormund, who ever noticed his gaze on Brienne? I think the couple matches and I'm already rooting for them.

Littlefinger appeared again, and went to fetch the army commanded by his nephew, Robert Arryn, the protector of the valley to go to Winterfell. The little boy turned out to be innocent once again and was easily manipulated by Petyr baelish who got what he wanted in a very simple scene.

The plot of lannisters in King's Landing is still boring, so let's skip that part. Let's talk about the only lion doing something this season: Tyrion. The dwarf used all his diplomacy to negotiate with the slave masters and reach a possible agreement to end slavery, but isn't seven years a long time? Me and missandei we agree.

If there's a character that deserves to be hated, it's Ramsay, who has already shown himself to be a crazy psychopath who doesn't spare anyone, but he really needed to kill Osha?! We all already know he's insane, crazy, he didn't need it.

I thought it was a totally gratuitous death, although I think he must die at the hands of a Stark. Littlefinger got the Vale army, Jon the wildlings, he and Sansa will head north for support… Ramsey beware, soon many people will hunt him down.

there in Vaes Dothrak things got hot. Daario and Jorah found Daenerys, but instead of running away, she resolved to face all the Khals at once. Contrary to George RR Martin, who said that the Targaryens are not immune to fire, and that what happened to Daenerys was something unique, she decided to play with fire once again.

When she was having her fate judged by the Khals everyone was waiting for Drogon to appear, but she managed to fend for herself and showed that she is not intimidated by small threats. She set fire to the Temple and proved to be fireproof, leaving everyone to die.

Everyone knelt before her… that means that now she will command the Dothraki since all its leaders were killed?

While we wait a week for the series to return, stay with the teaser for the next episode:
