After a fairly good premiere made the world notice they may all the time be suckers for extra Westeros, the second episode doubles down on all the pieces folks favored concerning the authentic present. Meaning extra Small Council conferences and political scheming, displaying the price of taking part in the sport of thrones and the way it often means marrying off literal kids for political achieve.
Then there’s the standout of the episode: the introduction of 1 Craghas Drahar, additionally recognized by the a lot better and surprisingly correct title, Craghas Crabfeeder. We first hear of the Crabfeeder within the “Home of the Dragon” premiere, the place Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint) talked a couple of pirate from the Triarchy (the Free Cities of Myr, Lys and Tyrosh) attacking the Stepstones. Although the opposite lords paid no consideration to Corlys’ warnings, we get to see the gravity of his issues within the second episode.
Now, a title just like the Crabfeeder might imply varied issues. In spite of everything, we have heard loads of cool nicknames in “Sport of Thrones” through the years, however none have been so literal. Sandor Clegane might have been known as The Hound, however he wasn’t a literal canine. Davos Seaworth’s title was the Onion Knight, however he was not made out of onions and he wasn’t an ogre (as a result of they have layers, get it?), and Aemon Targaryen the “Dragonknight” wasn’t an precise dragon sporting armor. So why ought to a Crabfeeder be literal? And but, we’re all a lot better for it.
