Game Of Thrones Season 6 Episode 8 Recap for “No One”
For all the idiots in the room, this is a RECAP so obviously SPOILERS ARE AHEAD. Now, let’s get to it:
(Editors Note: This is a college website, so this review was written as I sat in a room with my 5 other buddies. The reactions, opinions, and knowledge – or lack thereof – are both very collective, and very genuine. The quotes are live reactions- word for word.)
This post is under construction.
Braavos: The episode opens with the play of King’s Landing, with Lady Crane using Arya’s advice and brining vengeance into her performance.
Arya is waiting in Lady Cranes dressing room. Lady Crane brings Arya back to her apartment (?) to stitch her up.
“Her apartment is literally bigger than mine.”
Where ever the f*ck the Hound is: Sandor is back to killing people. He brutally murders four men in about 15 seconds, in search of the men who slayed his friends.
King’s Landing: The Faith Militant rolls up on Cersei at the Red Keep. Cersei finally says that “I choose violence” line from all the trailers, and the Mountain proceeds to rip someone’s head off.
“You better go get some more of your boys Faith!”
Riverrun: Bronn and Podric have a reunion, and Bronn was his classic scene stealing self. Jaime and Brienne also have their reunion, except it is under more stressful circumstances. Brienne tells Jaime the situation with Sansa, and also offers to try and convince the Blackfish to give up the castle. Brienne goes into the castle and the Blackfish shuts her down hard.
Mereen: Tyrion finally convince Grey Worm and Misande to have a drink. They tell a couple jokes and it was a nice moment of levity to catch up with Tyrion.
Riverrun: Jaime and Edmure have a discussion about Jaime’s respect for Catelyn Stark, and goes on a rant about how he will kill every man, woman, and child to get back to Cersei if he has to. . Jaime releases Edmure to convince the Tully’s to let the Lannisters into the Riverrun Castle. He does, and orders the Tully’s to lower the gates to let the Lannister’s in. The siege ends, and Blackfish dies. He does off screen, though, which was unfair, because his character deserved a better death.
Mereen: Mereen is being attacked by the Slave Masters, when Dany finally returns on her dragon to f*ck sh*t up. She doesn’t say anything, but looks quite pissed at Tyrion.
“The angrier she looks, the hotter she looks.”
Where ever the f*ck the Hound is: The Hound finally catches up to the guys he was looking for, who were already captured by Beric Dondarrion, Thoros of Myr, and the rest of the Brotherhood Without Banners. If you don’t remember, the Hound actually killed Beric in season 3, so their reunion was quite hilarious. The Brotherhood allows The Hound to kill 2 out of 3 of them. The Hound joins the Brotherhood, which is going to be absolutely awesome.
Braavos: Arya and the Waif finally confront each other, except they kinda screwed us and didn’t show the fight. Arya kills the Waif and puts her face on the Wall of Faces or whatever. She sneaks up on Jaquen H’ghar and puts Needle to his heart. He says some crap about “a girl is finally No One” but Arya says nah I’m a Stark I’m going home.
The preview for next week looks like episode 9 will be the best Game Of Thrones episode ever, so get ready! Catch you next week.
