Meereen’s currently in the hands of Tyrion ( Peter Dinklage) and Varys ( Conleth Hall) who are minding the shop after Drogon the dragon flew his mother off to random field (typical dragon hazards). Looks like Dorne’s getting a lady president! #ImWithHerĭaenerys Targaryen ( Emilia Clarke) might have some advice on the pitfalls of ruling kingdoms though. No sooner does Doran Martell ( Alexander Siddig) read the news of the death of Myrcella, his future-daughter in law, than he is shivved in cold blood by Ellaria Sand ( Indira Varma), who stands over his bleeding body and promises that “weak men will never rule Dorne again.” Trystane, Myrcella’s beloved? He’s dispatched by two of the Sand Snakes with a spear rudely through the nose on his pretty face. It’s clear that Cersei’s wrath will reach Dorne, but the women of Dorne are also making big moves to assure their power in the Nation. Though Jaime assures her, “fuck prophecy, fuck fate, fuck everyone who isn’t us,” the look on Cersei’s face as they embrace shows that she can’t buy into this. She rages at the truth of the witch’s prophecy, which foretold she would lose all three children. She mourns the loss of her sweet daughter, the one good thing she made that she believed made her less of a monster. Cersei’s face goes from hopeful to horrified to wistful sorrow in about a minute, and it’s incredible to behold. Podeswa wisely puts the camera on her face throughout, especially during Jaime’s approach in the harbor. Headey has but a few minutes on screen but they are some of the best of her “Game of Thrones” career. But just when she drove that bell from her mind, and thought things couldn’t get any worse, her brother/lover Jaime ( Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) returns from Dorne with her precious daughter Myrcella in a golden body bag, the victim of a Sand Snake’s poison kiss. But that beating just might make the feisty youngest Stark sibling into a superhero - a Daredevil/Zatoichi type.Ĭersei Lannister ( Lena Headey) also saw her lowest moment last season, atoning for her many, many sins with a casual Shame Stroll through King’s Landing. She hadn’t yet been able to become No One, keeping her Someone status, her Arya Stark-ness. Jaqen H’ghar punished her with blindness, and now the young girl is just another Braavosi beggar, and her mean old roommate is beating her up with a stick. She transgressed her training at the House of Black and White, taking a face from the Wall in order to murder Meryn Trant in a crime of vengeance for the death of her teacher Syrio Forel. Her sister Arya ( Maisie Williams) is also at rock bottom.

Still, seeing Sansa out of Ramsay’s grasp, with people by her side who are truly on her side is truly heartening for the Stark sister who has seen the worst in humanity. So, it’s not the greatest plan, and they’re almost immediately caught by a search party with bloodhounds (Ramsay needs that precious Stark womb for heir-making and North-taking), but by the luck of timing, they are rescued by Brienne of Tarth ( Gwendoline Christie), fresh off killing Stannis Baratheon, who murcs the whole crew with the help of trusty Podrick ( Daniel Porter).
