I am living!!! That episode was such a lovely meal for Jonsas and Dark!D@nys and Pol!J0ns!!! I can't believe we've already got a parentage reveal oh my god, I expected it a little later but nope, they nipped that all right in the bud!! And wow, using the cave/waterfall to contrast with jon's other relationships and already setting up the Dance, I mean, this is so exciting! I can't wait to see next week's! Jon is going to let Jaime in and D is going to be so upset oh man!
Dear nonny,
I know, I know. I am trying to contain my excitement. I don’t want to jinx it. On my first watch, I was a tiny bit disappointed, but thinking about Political Jon and rewatching the episode has made me realise, that Political Jon is really there and that even GA and casual viewers get it.
I am very, very happy, that all the political things we insisted are important, were addressed. Food is going to be a problem. Sam is not just chill about his family being executed (he doesn’t even know yet that they were burned). The Northern Lords are not ready to fall at D’s feet just because she agreed to help - which is a) her bloody duty if she wants to rule these people and is b) in her self-interest because the WW are not going to stop at the neck... RLJ is a the katalyst for a plot twist etc. etc. And next episode Jaime is probably going to drop some truth bombs. He can hardly hide that he did not come as the general of the Lannister armies but is just on his own and I hope that he loses his temper a bit. I have so many headcanons about Jaime arriving in Winterfell, that my only regret is that I will only see one of them...
I would like to give NKW and GC money to play out all my Braime headcanons....
Who is loyal to who actually is important and when D wants to execute Jaime we will see how Jon and his politics of uniting the living against the dead will play out. I mean the policy of mercy in face of the WW thread is a trait of Jon’s politics.
So, I am living as well.
Thanks for the ask!
