Game of Thrones Season 2 Episode 7 - "A Man Without Honour"

If you plan to watch this episode, do not read the following article until you have watched it. Ok realistically I can’t stop you, but there are SPOILERS below. You have been warned.

“A Man Without Honour” was the best episode so far of the second season and the last 15 minutes were the best stretch of 15 minutes in the entire series.

After Theon fails in his search for Bran and Rickon around Winterfell, he ends up in nearby farm where one of his men finds walnut shells (maybe from Rickon’s walnuts as seen earlier in the episode). At the end of the episode, Theon reveals Winterfell two small brunt bodies hanging from ropes, resembling the two Stark boys to the people of Winterfell. Now I’m not certain that those bodies belong to Bran and Rickon, since Bran seemed reluctant to go to the farm (and he’s smart enough not to), but in case they are I confirm that Theon has completely lost it. I still don’t understand his motif is except to impress his father and sister, because everything he’s done after he took over Winterfell has been pretty retarded. I really wanted to research to see if Bran is still alive, but had to stop myself, because I don’t want to encounter any spoilers. Anyways, I hate Theon and I really hope that Bran has managed to escape.

As I said 3 episodes ago, Theon Greyjoy is a douche. In this episode he takes over Winterfell as he planned to, but without his sister and with few men. Bran obviously tells his people he’s yielding, since most of their men are south and Bran can’t do much (I mean he is a crippled boy). Theon doesn’t stop here and he decides to execute Ser Rodrik, which is completely idiotic. With Theon’s actions, Robb (arguably the best leader in terms of battles) wants to find him and kill him. Roose Bolton explains that his son can do that for him, since Robb can’t leave the war for King’s Landing. Theon has absolutely no way of surviving for long. He doesn’t seem good with fighting, he doesn’t have many people backing him up (even the people of Pyke laugh at him), and he seem to have gone insane (especially while executing Rodrik). This isn’t exactly the formula for success during a battle. I also don’t think his sister will send the troops he asked her to send, because the rest of his family seems to have little respect for him. I mean who should have respect for him? He’s almost as hated as Joffrey in my books. These series of events confirm Bran’s ability to see the future in his dreams, as the sea (Theon’s people from the sea) flooded the castle and Rodrik was one of the people who drowned. One character that gained a lot of respect from me this episode is Osha. She sleeps with Theon to distract him and sneaks out while Bran, his little brother and Luwin (giant) get ready to leave. A guard comes in her way but she seduces him and cuts his neck. She whistles to the trio plus the two wolves that the coast is clear for them to escape. She definitely cares for Bran and offers to help him in these terrible times for Winterfell. The biggest problem now is…there are no Starks in Winterfell.
