Game of Thrones: The Spoils of War
3 Quick Things
Well that was a doozie. As usual, I’ll give three quick things I noticed/thought were funny/might be interesting/who knows. I’m going to skip the entire battle scene because what else could be said? Just pure adrenaline that I could have watched for three hours. So let’s dig in to some of the other parts of the episode.
1. Meera Reed Should be JACKED
I’m pretty sure I dedicated about one sentence to this in a former blog, but how didn’t they make Meera Reed look HUGE? I know, I know, she is just supposed to be this small girl who travels with Bran. But that should all change when she pulled his ass around the MILES AND MILES of land north of The Wall and THEN from The Wall to Winterfell. I really needed her to come in that room just looking like:

Not only would it be factually accurate, but I think it would be sneaky one of the funniest things ever done on Game of Thrones. As long as we’re on the subject, while I do hate Bran and his shitty way of speaking, I’m not sure what else Meera wanted from him. You’ve been with this dude for what could be months/years (time is an enigma in this show) — don’t you know that he’s a supreme asshole? What did you talk about on the way back? Can’t be surprised when he has absolutely zero emotion when you leave. Grow up.
2. Children of The Forest Advance Quickly in Drawing
Speaking of one of the funniest moments in the show, those drawings escalated quickly. Straight up just circles and spirals, then maybe a few stick figures, and then super detailed drawings of the White Walkers COMPLETE WITH BLUE EYES! Everything else is just white through all of their drawings and then BOOM they discover color. Like we wouldn’t have understood those were White Walkers if they didn’t have the distinctive blue eyes. The level of detail was laugh out loud funny. I just pictured them every day watching Bob Ross and being like, “ahh ok guys, see we can draw beards and shit too. Let’s try this on the next round of wall drawings.”

Good on them. They saw where they had a weakness and they worked to improve on it. If only they hadn’t created the fucking things in the first place.
3. Davos is a Damn Comedian!
Ser Davos has absolutely been one of my favorite characters this season. He steals every scene he is in with his wit, humor, and constant defense of Jon. I do miss the dry humor of Tyrion, as they seem to be moving more away from his humor and more towards his strategic mind (which hasn’t been working too well) but they filled that void with Davos and it is a welcome surprise. This week, we had the “I’ve seen you staring at her good heart” comment, which made me chuckle. Unbeknownst to him, he’s saying, “I saw ya starin’ at yer aunt’s tits.”

But still, even though he didn’t get the full joke like we do, its still a good quip at Jon. Davos and Jon have really become close bros recently, just busting balls and talkin’ shop. A bromance I don’t think anyone saw coming. You got us again, George R.R. Martin.
Alright that’s it for this week. If you liked this shit, like it, share it, recommend it, whatever. I also recently got on this new thing called Twitter (ever heard of it?) so you can find me @junior_thoughts.
