Review | ‘Game of Thrones’ recap: Setting the stage for the final battle

By David Malitz David Malitz Deputy features editor overseeing coverage of culture, arts, entertainment. Email Bio Follow Deputy features editor May 6 at 3:02 AM There’s a lot of ground to cover in the final three installments of “Game of Thrones,” so anything that doesn’t keep the plot surging forward is understandably going to be left out. That said, this episode should have started with at least seven to eight minutes of just pure celebration of Arya Stark.

Jon does have her back when they hatch their battle plan to march on King’s Landing. There’s more Dany-Sansa drama, though, when Sansa wants to delay the next battle for the very logical reason that the men who just got finished outlasting an army of the dead would need a little time to recuperate before marching right off to the next battle. Jon puts himself in the middle and overrules Sansa, pledging the Northern forces to Daenerys, promising to follow her commands.

Jacob Anderson, Conleth Hill, Nathalie Emmanuel, Emilia Clarke and Peter Dinklage in HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” The meeting at the gates of the Red Keep in King’s Landing starts with Tyrion and Qyburn exchanging pleasantries and their respective requests for unconditional surrender predictably go nowhere. Tyrion tries to reason with his sister, who stands on top of the gates to the Red Keep, alongside Euron, captive Missandei and plenty of soldiers with their weapons aimed at Daenerys and company.

Varys, as ever, claims that his true loyalty is to “the realm,” which can be both true and a convenient way of changing allegiances depending on the situation that presents itself. They talk about the secret of Jon’s parents, which Varys simply calls “information” now that eight people know. Tyrion keeps hoping the two can get married and rule together, which seems naive for Tyrion; Varys rightly points out that sharing is not one of the traits Dany’s known for.

Rory McCann, Liam Cunningham, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams and Isaac Hempstead Wright in HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” Arya Stark is no lady, and don’t call her a hero either Again, it seems like the people of Winterfell could have maybe spent a little more time celebrating the person who brought down the Night King all on her own. I think Drake gave her a lengthier shoutout at the Billboard Music Awards than anyone in Winterfell did.

She’s selfish! Jon should dump her and take the throne!

girlfriend do

SPOILER AHEAD..............................................................Why didn't Daenerys go around the island and attack Euron's fleet from behind? It looked like the ballistas couldn't be rotated to the back.

Sursi army looks to be much stronger then Daneris army, I don’t think the dragon 🐉 queen 👸 will win.

Good recap

That pirate motherfucker constantly appearing out of nowhere is ruining the show. What garbage writing.

The Night King Was The Best Part Of Game Of Thrones, Fight MeHe's my king from this day until his last day. Look at his cheeky grin, walking through fire. Nice to see him showing his fun side. the show is a game of thrones- & if the game of thrones was decided before the night king battle then that would have been counter-productive....best would have been to do it all at once...would have resulted in 99% wiped with maybe 1-2 mains remaining- Y'all are acting like we don't have 3 episodes left of the season for a possible explanation of things.
