Highlights
- After catching a glimpse of Bronn in last episode, I had a feeling he could be in for a big role this week. I was going to put him on my team but thought that Jorah would be the better pick. Boy was I wrong. Bronn started the episode with some witty banter with the Kingslayer (+10) and then was integral in the Dragon
battlemassacre (+15 for killing, +5 for killing a Dothraki with the scorpion weapon). He had a chance to be the single greatest sleeper pick of all time had he been able to kill Drogon but sadly for fantasy owners (luckily for Dragon lovers) he only wounded him which amounts to no points. - Slightly depressing episode for Jaime as he only killed five Dothraki all in the traditional manner (+25). He did get +5 for his snarky comment to Bronn at the start of the episode but that was it for witt.
- Very depressing episode for Cersei who only got on the board because she decided to have a glass of wine while chatting it up with the Iron Bank (+5).
- Arya’s return to Winterfell was excellent and had some tender moments (+15). She also was a Grade A badass taking on Brienne in a duel. Sadly I don’t have “have a dope ass fight” as a badass award but I gave points for some of the comments made during and post-fight, particularly Arya’s response to Brienne wondering who taught her to fight like this.
- While Bronn won his points throughout the episode, the best sleeper in terms of his production vs. screen time ratio easily was Davos Seaworth. In the span of five minutes, Davos racked up 20 points thanks to multiple zingers: He called Jon Snow out for staring at Daenerys, corrected Snow’s grammar, felt Essos’ marriage laws were “liberating” and wanted to join Danny’s side after Missandei’s impassioned speech. For 3 points? I’ll take that.
- Jon Snow had a empty episode except for this (+5 baby!):

- And finally we get to Daenerys. To start the episode, Danny’s claim to fantasy stardom was only a burning rebuttal to Tyrion (+5). But boy did she perform in the clutch. In the final 10 minutes of the show she rode a dragon (+25), killed people from atop that dragon (+50) and completely disposed of an army (+50). She put Cersei and the Iron Throne on notice. I also have no idea how everyone in Jaimes’ crew didn’t immediately poop themselves when they saw that dragon come out of the clouds. Talk about smell.
Results
- Becca Giles: 160 points (Daenerys, Euron, Bronn, The Mountain, Littlefinger)
- Pete Rogers: 155 points (Daenerys, Arya, Jorah, Littlefinger, The Mountain)
- Heath Capps: 130 points (Euron, Dany, Tormund, Gendry, The Mountain)
- Mark Abell: 20 points (Sansa, Tryion, Davos, Missandei)
Till next week!
