I’ve seen this episode many times, but your comments at the end included insights that I hadn’t thought of- eg Cersei seeing Sansa as a better version of herself. Thus the mixture of resentment and sympathy that leads her to simultaneously berate Sansa and instruct her in the ways of the world. Thanks for that!

Like they never adressed that the guys at the beginning that Ned sent after the Mountain were the Brotherhood without banners that we see later on.

"I don't know who I am rooting for." Well, that pretty much sums it up why this show is so great. Imagine Stannis had won the battle. Joffrey's head would have been on a spike or he would have been sacrificed to the Lord of Light. Also Cercei, Tyrion, Bronn and Varys. Sansa would have been freed, since she is Ned Starks daughter, who was supporting Stannis in his claims.

[@icewinddale2675]

After Renly's death they said all his men flipped to Stannis, all EXCEPT the Tyrells. You saw Margaery and Loras crying in front of his body and both Catelyn and Littlefinger separately saying they can't avenge Renly from the ground. Then next episode we see Littlefinger in Tywin's camp during that "did he notice Arya" scene. But that whole cat and mouse game with Arya and Tywin was a red herring. The real crux of that scene was Littlefinger proposing an alliance between House Lannister and House Tyrell, the Lords of the Reach. It was as subtle as it was well placed. "Margaery wants to be queen I take it" Tywin asks Littlefinger. None of this would've happened if Littlefinger didn't pick up on how ambitious Margaery was when he visited Renly's camp. "No, I want to be THE queen" she had said. All the chess pieces throughout the season, even the unassuming ones, build to Blackwater. The Lannisters now have their southern flank covered. With supplies and men coming in, the tide of the war has turned completely. But who will be the true power in the capital itself? Them or Tyrells?

[@Wang_Monkey]

That scene with the wildfire exploding always gives me goose bumps. What a great plan from Tyrion! One of my favourite episodes xD Especially as Clegane finally says "F*** the king, I'm out!"

@@Jacoc323 Yes, poor Davos and we only just got to see his son for a bit. Kinda don't know who to root for!

[@SDG.12]

The ending of Blackwater is chef's kiss. Cersei's talks with everyone all through this episode is great,but that final monologue with Tommen is what you call "aesopian". Side by side that is the imagery of Loras Tyrell in Renly's armor and helm, cutting through the Baratheon lines under the moonlit night looking like an ethereal entity. Then we have Tywin's grand entrance in the throne room to Rains of Castamere. Too good! Battles in period movies are all about the jazz of the combat, whereas Blackwater is just a backdrop, a vehicle to tell the story of the characters. It's not just some spectacular action p0rn. The realism of the moment and the psychology of the different characters in the process of reckoning with their own mortality is as important as the actual sword fighting. War isn't glorified or made to seem desirable. You're alternatively torn between rooting for either side and no one at all.

[@CrazyStarSuga]

"And Who are You?" The Proud lord said That I must bow so low? Only a cat of a different coat Thats only truth I know A coat of gold or coat of red A lion still has claws And mine are long and sharp, my Lord As long and sharp as Yours And so he spoke, and so he spoke That Lord of Castamere But now the rains weep o'er his halls With no ones there to hear

[@Frightspear]

"The Rains of Castamere" (Lannister song). The song recounts the ruthlessness of Tywin Lannister in destroying House Reyne ("the Reynes of Castamere") and House Tarbeck, rebellious vassals of House Lannister, some 40 years before the events in GoT. The story of the song tells of the vassals' defiance - "And who are you, the proud lord said / That I must bow so low?" - and the subsequent extermination of their houses: "But now the rains weep o'er his hall / With no one there to hear."

[@dabegmister]

they were pulling Stannis off the battlefield because Stannis wanted to keep fighting. they were saving stannis's life

[@maloneaqua]

I had sympathy for Sansa but I think this is the first time I respected her. She was scared but resolved and her song in the queens chambers showed real maturity and leadership potential. Selfish naive Sansa would’ve probably been too self involved to try to galvanize the other women or give them any hope.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

She might have still done it, but only because it is expected & would reflect favorably on her. This is one of the episodes where we start to see some real growth from her.

[@paulkerley7850]

It's worth remembering when the mountain and the hound fought during the jousting tounament in season 1, afterwards Sansa clapped for the Hound. A moment I think mattered to the Hound and led to his protection of Sansa.

[@eadred9164]

The song Bronn sings with the soldiers at the beginning of the episode is the Lannister song. It's the same tune to which Tywin enters the throne room at the very end. By the time you're done with the series you'll never forget that song. That's a guarantee.

[@jacobvozzo2934]

Alfie Allen so good at acting like someone pretending to be someone he is not and being bad at it on purpose.

The casting for this show is top notch. Lena heady perfectly encapsulates the character of Cersei. You should definitely read the books some time! They’re every bit as addicting and entertaining as the show.

[@Amandor2011]

I'd even say Lena with her acting and charisma makes Cersei a more likeable characther than the one in the books, in the books she's much more hateful and stupid And show removed some of the stuff she did in the books, like in the books it wasn't Joffrey who ordered killing of Robert's bastards but Cersei

[@deiseabu]

The Hound is really agressive, drunk and creepy in that scene with Sansa in the books so it makes sense why she doesn’t go with him. He’s a point where you really think he might murder her or rape her, he’s that unhinged. In the show they made The Hound a lot more calm and nicer but they need to follow the story so Sansa needs to stay in Kings Landing. This just means it doesn’t make much sense why she stays in the show because we obviously trust the Hound.

[@nicoleb1581]

It may have been more subtle but I definitely picked up on the possibility of being sexually assaulted by The Hound when this first aired. Even when The Hound rescued Sansa from the mob… you can feel that possibility of sexual violence, while not his intention it IS a thought he might entertain under different circumstances. And I haven’t read the books but it was the undertones of the scenes

I think The Hound and Bronn would be an interesting fight in this moment, Bronn thinks he’s quicker but I wouldn’t write off the Hound. I think there is a good reason why The Hound could go from nothing to being the prince’s and then the kings guard dog. Also The Hound was Cerseis bodyguard before Joffrey was born so Joffrey has known him his whole life. I think he was a little hurt when he said Fuck the King

[@samus5094]

That's what he gets for treating the Hound like crap though. I remember when he was all "away with you, dog, you're scaring my lady".

[@jasongrace4005]

In the books Bronn did compliment the Hound and The Mountain as being scary quick despite their size. Even Jaime praised the hound in the books. You can't write Bronn off too though, he's a lot more dangerous and cutthroat in the books. I'll give it to Sandor though, cause I love him more 😑

[@Amandor2011]

The Hound was basically the father figure for Joffrey because Robert didn't give a shit so yeah, Joffrey was hurt by that

[@deiseabu]

samus I know, of course Joff deserved it but I don’t think people realize how connected Joff probably was with him. I think Cersei even says in the books that The Hound was the father figure Joff looked to because Robert and Jaime weren’t around.

[@deiseabu]

Jason Grace Yes, I do think though they made Bronn more impressive then he ever seemed in the books. Also I don’t think The Hound ever got a proper fight scene to demonstrate his skills, all his fights have ridiculous cuts and I think also because Rory isn’t too young it doesn’t come across as easy. People think the Hound is slow because he’s big but I’m pretty sure like you said he is described by more then one person as being quick.

Theon Greyjoy's problem is that he has a chip on his shoulder as big as the Wall. Tactically, he ought to listen to his sister, and leave Winterfell. But he can't, not without feeling all small inside, and that's the one thing he hates. So he'll go on doing whatever he tells himself will quell his conscience. And it won't help. The thing is, he's not the only one with such a chip. Each of the Lannister children has one too: Jaime with a Jaime-sized chip, Cersei with a Cersei-sized chip, and little Tyrion with a giant of a Lannister sized chip.

Podrick is an absolute MVP in this episode. Loyal and brave. And the Hound's offer to take Sansa with him was so endearing. He's planning to flee King's Landing, but he made a stop at her room to offer to take her with him. Alas, she said no, trusting in Stannis to not hurt her. Except Stannis lost. So she's still stuck in King's Landing engaged to Joffrey instead. Sigh.

The Kingsguard that was killed in the books is Ser Mandon Moore. Not sure if the guy Podrick killed (same in books, too) is credited on the aitch-bee-oh version with a name or is simply called “Kingsguard man.” The guy you’re thinking of is Ser Meryn Trant. He’s really been the the only other non-Jaime Kingsguard you’ve seen. He’s the one that killed Syrio Forel and hits Sansa.

[@usgreth]

Joffrey does say Ser Boros, Ser Mandon, stay with my uncle and represent the king.. so yeah his name is mentioned, I'm not sure we wee expected to recognise it was Ser Mandon, he was covered up and we didn't really know him. I wonder where Ser Meryn was during this, it's not mentioned.

Throughout Season 2 Robb Stark is pillaging the Westerlands (seat of House Lannister) to bait Tywin out of Harrenhal (which is in the Riverlands, seat of House Tully). So they were basically side by side, both holding out in each others' lands trying to see who blinks first. But Tywin realizes Harrenhal in the middle of enemy territory is indefensible, saving the capital is more important. So he abandons the defensive garrison at Harrenhal and instead of going west towards Robb, he takes the Lannister forces to a night march 6 o'clock of Harrenhal, straight down into King's Landing. He has Loras Tyrell with him who is wearing Renly's armor to the bewilderment of the Baratheon forces. With Stannis crushed and with House Tyrell, Lords of The Reach, now alligned with the crown, Robb not only let Tywin's army escape from the Riverlands, he's now pretty much cut off from King's Landing. Tywin has out maneuvered Robb and Stannis.

There's a thing that happens during Blackwater which is the source of a much speculated theory in the ASOIAF verse. It's called "The Unkiss". This subplot is not in the show at all, so talking about it isn't a spoiler. What happens is that when Sansa looks back at the night of Blackwater, she fondly remembers how she'd shared a kiss with the Hound. Except for this, that night during her actual interaction with the Hound the kiss never happens! But later on, she keeps misremembering a kiss. This spun a ton of theories and deep dives. From simple things like it being a case of the "unreliable narrator" plot device, or the expression of a teenager's infatuation, to darker things like it being the repressed memory of a victim who's been repeatedly abused, maybe even by the Hound, etc etc. Anytime GRRM's been asked about The Unkiss he's downplayed it like he does with every theory, but also kinda egged it on by hinting that The Unkiss does have an important purpose. One thing's for sure, he's masterfully used a "Rashomon Effect" type plot device. On the surface this is such an inconsequential thing that if you squint you'd miss it, and yet it's too peculiar to be put in there for nothing. Truly a first-rate explorer of the complexities of human nature!
