Here we go. I wanted to give everyone a chance to drink in the episode, before I brought some harsh truths onto you. Again, this will likely be the least popular list, and I'm glad no one has access to me or cow pies
. So without further adieu, and backwards so a very pretentious group of fans can feel like #1, here is The OFFICIAL Game of Thrones Family Power Rankings After Ep. 3.
5. #Starkset. Always 2 steps forward and then 4 steps back, the Starks never seem to gain any real traction. Jon Snow has been proven to be alive, but "Whose Side Is He On??!!??" Same with Arya. She's now officially one of the Faceless, so there's the 3rd best sword fighter (After Rob and Jon) gone. Starks still have no army, and the North's current alligences seem very troubling.
The elephant in the room revealed is the Rickon is now the captive of a megalomaniac Bolton patriarch. He would be the foil of any direct Stark approach, so we really have to see how this plays out, while also seeing if Shaggy dog was indeed murdered as well. No good things happen to unprotected Stark kids without at least a spirit connection to their direwolves. Huge L's suffered this week, but I can't speak of an unofficial future. Bran is progressing in his sight journey, and is likely to come back with some very harsh truths. It would change the landscape of everything if he can stop trying to go deeper and stay longer than he's ready for. He can end up going insane, and his story would be a big bust. Also, information is good and all, but it really doesn't mean shyt with no physical power, which he, and the Starks, terribly lack.
4. The #Lannistans- Huge fall off from last week's 1st place, for great reason. The king, that just happens to share the same blood, is a pure bytch, and is not a Lannister at this point. I don't know if this is some covert play at taking kindness/understanding for weakness, but I've seen no Lannister defer so easily to power they didn't control, and he's so foreign, Jamie needs to call Maury
.
On another bad point, we find that Lord Kevan Lannisters is now firmly entrenched with the Tyrells, and he was the one who headed the disrespect shown the remaining Tywin children. Even as right that Kevan, as hand and Lannister, likely heads the army and name, it's still fukked up how he treats the heirs of the man who fave him power.
3. The #Stankroses (Tyrells)- Always with the passive aggressive, gossipy manipulation shyt, the Tyrells jump back up the list because of Kevan Lannister and their firm grip on the small counsel. The second, in power, at King's Landing is the Hand of the King, and the Tyrells have Kevan wrapped up in trying to free Margary and maybe Loras. This gives King's Landing's army where it should be, and that's to protecting the Queen.
Kevan is very pissed at Cersei, as it wouldn't be too hard to figure out who enabled this new menace, one that is completely blinding them to the many opportunities opening to the North. No one is doing a hit until those Sparrows are checked.
#2 #BernieBerds The High Sparrow now controls the King, while acquiring equal power, slowly to the king's stronghold and likely beyond. Kings Landing is now completely distracted by them, when the Lannisters have stronger enemies. The Sparrows also have the queen and shamed the queen regent nearly beyond repair to her Lannisters stature. People know, at least, that Cersei fukked her cousin, or at least has committed adultery, as she had to admit it to get back to the castle.
The universal treatment of the High Sparrow is very interesting. He's never been portrayed, on screen, as a megalomaniacal character. He's using simply telling the truth, from his religious perspective, one that the crown swears by. He's been an objective arbiter of the tenets of their professed faith, and rewards the people with charity for their faith, while the lords and ladies had used them to play their little games, condoned wickedness, and neglected the people. We just have a rightful cynicism for zealots, and find them manipulative. As written, the Sparrows have Stark honor, for now, so I find the sentiment weird for now.
#1 #House Bolton- Up from #3, Ramsey has had yet another leap in status. He now look to truly control the North, and its armies. Unlike Roose, he also seems primed to use it, in offensive, as he's likely going to get even more Southern pushback. However, the huge Umber family has brought him a huge gift, one that can further solidify the North, in Rickon Stark.
It's important to note the rule "A Stark Must Always Be In Winterfell". Now Ramsey controls a male one, and likely the oldest known heir to those lands. Having him solidifies his position as Warden of the North, and renders the betrayal at The Twins nearly mute. The North may remember, but there's nothing they can do about it, without killing the last Stark known by name. Ramsey only needs to destroy Jon, who jas no claim to the house, but can free Rickon, to dominate the North. Those in the North without any loyalties to the Starks can only cede and relish the power that Ramsey is accumulating, and at his age, he's primed to rule them for a long time.
And there you go. A list not introducing you to new character and weighed on screen time and implied importance, but shows the game how it actually is currently. The truth is hard to take sometimes, but I'm just the messenger, and I hope you enjoy The OFFICIAL List. Feel free to debate, and I'll contemplate whether you're worthy.
Thanks for enjoying!
