Cripples, Bastards and Broken Things pretty much sums up what's going on this redeeming episode from the disappointing 'Lord Snow'. Brian Kirk takes a good grip on the events foreshadowed in the last episode which I just found out he also directed. I'm just happy that finally this episode has achieved the developments I wanted to see on the previous episode.
This episode starts with a dream sequence where the iconic three-eyed crow appeared to Bran in his dream. I don't know what the dream means but when the camera panned a bit on Bran's feet as he walked, I thought the episode would feature the child's desperation of walking. But there was none. There was only but a sense of depression, brief denial and from his tone, I could tell, a bit of acceptance.
After realizing the wall is humongous for a dwarf, Tyrion stops by at Winterfell and shows his tender spot for cripples, bastards and broken things. And just then, we know where he's really coming from. Some of you might consider it contrived but I find it amusing when a character mentions the title of an episode or the show itself. But shortly after showing an act of kindness, the dwarf went high on his horse and remembered his surname as he talked to the Stark's squire.
Finally we got to know more about Jon Snow and the tale of his surname. Then, Samwell Tarly entered the screen and you just can't help but explode into Tolkienian pieces because Samwell Tarly and 'Samwise Gamgee' happens to share their first four letters and fall under the same 'BFF' stereotype. And surprise surprise! Jon Snow the BASTARD has a tender spot for porkchops.
On the mountainous region of the land, where we relax a bit to the great landscapes and the warm atmosphere comes yet another shocker for the cocky Viserys. After being choked in the last episode, the King-wannabe gets crippled from his delusional state by no other than his sister. Danaerys fought back and stood with her head held up high as she said "I am a Khaleesi of the Dothraki! I am the wife of the great Khal and I carry his son inside me. The next time you raise a hand to me will be the last time you have hands." If the makers really wanted the pants off their audience, then I'd say taboos and erotica doesn't do much, but those words has not only dropped the pants of mankind but has empowered the ovaries of women.
There's a lot of things going on this episode so I think it's aptly titled but the last 10 minutes had me gripping! Even though Tyrion was innocent I felt a sense of justice coming. I think I have a tender spot for women empowerment, embracing of stereotypes and a sense of justice while danger is lurking ahead. And yey! 'GHOST' (Jon's direwolf) appeared! 5/5
