In what is apparently the only form of community-building and shared use of public space in Westeros, everyone has gathered in the streets to throw garbage at Yara, Ellaria, and Tyene. He just sort of lies there, like a prune, and we cut to KingвЂ™s Landing. The guy has been floating around for so long, heвЂ™s basically a huge, incredibly pale prune. Poor Theon gets hauled out of the ocean by an unnamed Ironborn sailor. ItвЂ™s notable only because Mel says that both she and Varys will die at some point, in the country theyвЂ™re in. Somewhere in all this, Varys and Melisandre have a weird conversation about nothing. I think we all know whatвЂ™s really going on here, and itвЂ™s that Jon Snow is a little bit of a brat. I get that Jon has a lot of Northern lords to keep happy, but it seems like he could have just bent the knee? What does it matter to anyone in Winterfell whether Daenerys, who is hundreds of miles away, still trying to take control of even one of her kingdoms, wants to call herself Jon SnowвЂ™s supervisor? Would Jon even have to tell them? Daenerys would probably have to listen a lot more closely to the White Walker spiel if she considered herself responsible for the NorthmenвЂ™s safety, and itвЂ™s not like Jon even has an army with him that she can demand he ship off to KingвЂ™s Landing. Irritated, he informs her, вЂњYouвЂ™ll be ruling over a graveyard.вЂќ (+10) And Davos, trying to recover from messing everything up for most of the time heвЂ™s been here, jumps in like, yeah, uh huh, yeah, вЂњIt doesnвЂ™t matter whose skeleton sits on the Iron Throne!вЂќ (+10) Okay, you two. More importantly, Daenerys doesnвЂ™t believe JonвЂ™s White Walker story. Hmm, daenerys should be careful with words like вЂњlastвЂќ I would try to avoid betting anything serious on that one.

I meanвЂ¦ be cool.вЂќ Hers is, вЂњI am the last Targaryen, Jon Snow.вЂќ Oh, interesting. I just donвЂ™t think centuries-old oaths should hold up. His basic line of reasoning is, вЂњYour dad was crazy, but never mind, youвЂ™re right, thatвЂ™s not relevant. Image: HBOДaenerys and Jon swap equally incoherent arguments about whether Jon Snow should вЂњbend the knee,вЂќ become Warden of the North instead of King in the North (can someone explain the difference, other than I guess, taxes?), and help Dany fight Cersei.

HeвЂ™s King in the North.вЂќ Minutes later, he will accidentally reveal that Jon used to be dead.

After Missandei rattles off DaenerysвЂ™ full three minutes of titles and catchphrases, Davos pipes up with вЂњThis is Jon Snow. Luckily, Davos flubs it right out of the gate as JonвЂ™s ill-prepared hype man. I guess we better hope this conversation goes poorly just to mix it up? WeвЂ™ve seen her hold court what feels like dozens of times, and sheвЂ™s spent the last several of these meetings steadily picking up allies without much guff. Unfortunately, so much of what happens on Game of Thrones is just the same five to seven things - backstabbing, front-stabbing, poisoning, smooching, horseback riding, eating bread - and the prospect of another throne-room meeting with Daenerys does not seem thrilling. Image: HBOД«y the way, she made Jon and his coterie give up all their weapons and the rowboat that would ferry them back to their ship, so, uh, theyвЂ™re trapped here. Our girl has one move, but its charms havenвЂ™t worn off yet, if you ask me. (And it wasnвЂ™t really that funny or cool the first time.) They also talk about girls they have or havenвЂ™t boned, and Tyrion informs Jon that his marriage to Sansa was вЂњunconsummated.вЂќ Jon gets the first points of the night (+5) for some good comedic timing and this facial expression: Image: HBOДaenerys, who has a lot of time on her hands, has choreographed a fun stunt in which Drogon almost knocks Jon SnowвЂ™s head off. Tyrion and Jon have a moment on the beach that reminds me of every time IвЂ™ve ever seen two old frat bros hanging out: they swap a few insults and talk about Tyrion peeing off the side of the Wall, a story weвЂ™ve all heard at least 40 times. Jon is arriving from Winterfell - which he left at the end of the last episode - so I suppose weвЂ™re meant to assume that at least a month has passed in the last week. On that note, we kick the night off in Dragonstone. Cersei is a better military strategist than tyrion, it turns out
