- TriviaAs an in-joke, the insults thrown at Daenerys and her army by the Meereneese champion are based on the taunts thrown at King Arthur and his men by the French soldiers in Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), but translated into Valyrian. Although most is obscured with other dialogue, not subtitled and translated differently, this is what the champion says:
- I fart in your general direction, son of a window-dresser! Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries (Missandei translates it as "You are an army of men without men-parts").
- Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person! (Missandei claims it means "You are no woman at all, just a man who hides his c##k inside his own a##hole).
- I wave my private parts at your aunties!
- I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed, animal food-trough wiper!
- I blow my nose at you, so-called Dragon Queen! You and all your silly Westerosi kaniggets (the Meereenese champion even mispronounces the word "knights").
- GoofsDaenerys orders the catapults to fire, but that term only came into use with gunpowder-based weapons.

King is Dead
It is such a delight to see once more across our TV screens that it can almost be forgiven that the "find Sansa" shots of Tywin were almost certainly done in pick-up given the awkward angle that tries mightily to dissuade the viewer from seeing any other character. Give us a dead Joff, and we can ignore the odd nature of this framing. Luckily, it curtails into one of the most atmospheric moments yet in the season when Ser Dontos takes Sansa down to meet another member of this little conspiracy: Petyr Baleish, aka Littlefinger. Tyrion and Sansa shippers, the girlish wolf has caught the last ship out of King's Landing in the same moment that Ser Dontos caught a bolt to the neck. This sequence brings Littlefinger's importance in the series back to the forefront in a big, big way. First, it establishes that Littlefinger now has complete power over Sansa's life (eeewww) and that he has been feeding her false hope through Ser Dontos for several episodes now-I also highly doubt that when he says "sailing home" he means ashen Winterfell. Next, and more importantly for the larger game, it demonstrates just how far this man's unknown ambition will take him. Littlefinger obviously did not poison Joffrey himself, but he is most certainly a member of a conspiracy that knew when to whisk Sansa Stark out of the Capital and that the king had died within moments of his last joyous gasp. This is a man who was raised up high by the Lannisters and made Lord of Harrenhaal after he negotiated a unifying truce with House Tyrell, and he has now betrayed them all. Or has he? Speaking of the Tyrells... Margaery and Olenna Tyrell consider Joffrey's death with the same mild annoyance that's usually reserved for traffic delays and bad sushi for us smallfolk. Neither express much astonishment over the boy's demise, however Margaery shows some pain toward witnessing the little brat suffocate. It is only she and Joffrey's true father who mourn the dead. Also the only two who ran to Joffrey's aide as the life choked out of him last week, Jaime and Cersei show the genuine grief of parents over Joffrey's unloved corpse. Jaime even seems to fleetingly consider Cersei's request to murder Tyrion out of love for her, despite Jaime thankfully doubting the younger brother's culpability. Still, these are Lannisters, and the Lannister twins at that. Thus, something truly dysfunctional must occur: enter the Twincest.
