Game of Thrones: "Blood of My Blood" Recap

Bran – Bailed out again.

Meera – I don’t care how far she dragged Bran’s ass. Be it 10 yards or a thousand, that’s a Charlie Hodor work. Good job. Your dead brother would be proud.

Badass Masked Stranger – Thanks guy. Really hope you’re somebody we already know so there’s an epic reveal later in the episode. /wink

The Mad King – Hey! It’s the Mad King! If he’d been the Chill King, we wouldn’t have had to go through any of this.

Sam – Who doesn’t get nervous bringing a girl home for the first time? Especially if the story you’re going with is that you impregnated that girl – out of wedlock and hope that your family will take them both in.

Little Sam – What an expressive child.

Tommen – From the moment they handed Margaery a hairbrush, this kid never stood a chance.

Gilly – Sam is a lucky man. Aside from getting kicked out of his family, being picked on his entire life, his best friend dying, yada yada yada.

Tarly Family Dinner – Is Sam’s father annoyed because everyone around him seems so nice and happy? Shouldn’t someone besides Sam be nervous at all times around this guy?

Sam – This was Westeros’ version of sneaking out late at night and stealing the car. Except, instead of transportation, it was a sword made of Valyrian steel which will be of great use in the war to come. Actually, they have horses and carriages so stealing one of those would be like borrowing the car without permission. This was like borrowing your dad’s gun. Seriously, keep your guns locked up, people.

Braavos Theater Troupe – Another fine performance. Mostly by the Foley artist.

Arya – So we’re finally going to put the House of Black & White behind us? It seemed so badass. Arya becoming a faceless assassin? Awesome! Instead she was a maid for a season and then she did the stupid repetitive training which will hopefully be enough to save her life when the Waif comes after her.

Mace Tyrell – That’s some plumage. Let it never be said that Mace is not a proud peacock of a man.

Jaime – Looked so cool riding his horse up the stairs.

Cersei Lannister – Has lost control of her son. And how messed up is it that I briefly though, “Oh, they’re together again!” as the brother and sister kissed. This show does weird things.

Bronn – Hey! Jaime mentioned Bronn! We’re going to see Bronn again! Remember Bronn!? I mean, we didn’t see him this week, but pretty soon!

Walder Frey – How can you still eat in that hall?

Edmure – Hey! Another guy we remember!

Uncle Benjen – Oh, hey! Remember when you said “The dead don’t rest?” Maybe don’t be resting in the next scene?Anyway, great to have you back! Your hands look awful cold.

I’m sorry, was that a cup of rabbit blood?

Dany – She literally emerged from the flames two weeks ago. Everybody was already following her. Guess that means it’s time for another badass speech. How did she find her dragon so easily when she couldn’t get the thing to stop eating goats earlier this season? Was Drogon at Dragon Obedience School while she was stuck in Vaes Dothrak?
