The Queen's Justice

GoT, for me, has a great virtue - to use venerable , fascinating actors and to transform, in this manner, a serie in fascinating experience. Diana Rigg, Max von Sydow, Jonathan Pryce are few. But Lady Olena remains the high character , subtle and powerful, wise and ambitious, the best adversary for Cersei and the heart of her house. And this episode gives the measure of each virtue and dark aspects of a character who desrtves to Diana Rigg and us, the public, so much.

The great game has begun. this episode did really good job. set-up for the long night & continue the game of thrones. brilliant dialogues & music.

SPOILER: Here we see Cersei and Daenerys handling power in very different ways.

Cersei pursues vengeance, but sometimes against the wrong people. And is making promises she can't meet to the Iron Bank, and to Euron Greyjoy which she does not intend to keep.

Is Euron Greyjoy really fooled?

At the end, Olenna Tyrell lets Jamie know that Cersei was indeed wrong in blaming Tyrion for the death of Jofrey. A last act of malice, probably, since it will set him against Cersei. She caused much of the trouble including their father's death by her false accusation.

Meantime Daenerys is losing because she tried to me merciful. And has sat in Dragonstone with her dragons, rather than going either to ferry the fleet from Dorn or help the Unsullied. Really no logic to it.

On the positive side, she ends up being sensible about Jon Snow refusing to accept her as Queen of the North.

We also get a repeat of the hint that the Red Priestesses know something Varys, who may have more secrets than he has revealed. One of them told him she knew what the demon said when he was a child. Now Melisandre tells him that both she and he are doomed to die in Westeros. And of course we don't know his story about his origins is true.

She also speaks of the meeting of Jon and Daenerys as bringing ice and fire together. Has to mean something.

Bran remains enigmatic, but presumably plans to tell Jon of his real parents. And does not trust Sansa with it. In fact he seems highly mistrustful of her.

There's plenty of drama in this episode, but the highlight is still something as simple as two characters finally meeting each other. And I can't shake off the feeling that we're witnessing two worlds collide.

I certainly can say that I didn't enjoy last 2 episodes as much as I wanted, but holy this episode changed it, the storytelling, the justice, the turning tables, the look on Jaime's face, it was all in place to make this the best season 7 episode (for now), clearly an outstanding episode. I am very eager to see what is next for both queens, hopefully it won't disappoint
