The dynamic of Daenerys and the rest of the remaining heroes is worrying, but tantalising material going forward as we see her slowly decline into madness as many have thought she might. It truly feels George RR Martin-esque as in-between all the celebratory joy, we see a tension grow in Daenerys as she watches Jon receive the hero’s response she once received, but now envies. Perhaps the highlight of the episode is the first act drinking scene which flows quickly, but naturally, from mournful to gleeful, to uneasy. Regardless, the speech was well scripted, with this week being a welcome return to form in dialogue.
Things take an unintentionally funny turn as Kit Harrington attempts to give a rousing speech in his Jon Snow accent and ends up sounding more akin to a 16-year-old deepening his voice in an attempt to buy beer. The funeral scene was touching, brilliantly hammered home by Sophie Turner and Emilia Clarke, although it really highlighted the lack of casualties for characters of consequence from last week. Appropriate for the Bank Holiday weekend, this week we begin with a strong hangover feeling from the Battle of Winterfell, before quickly descending into a full half an hour of drunken antics.
