With a great distance between him and Lannisters, and the wide lands of the North there for the taking, Stannis has positioned himself well for next season. Coupled with the fact that Stannis seems to have won over the support of the Iron Bank of Braavos a few episodes ago, it’s safe to say he’s risen as high as he’s ever been. The Stannis Inquisition saved the Night’s Watch and the kingdom along with it. While all of the other hopeful kings were too preoccupied to answer the Night’s Watch pleas, Stannis came. “I was trying to win the throne to save the kingdom, when I should have been trying to save the kingdom to win the throne.” That’s a quote from the books that wasn’t said last night, but will probably come next season, and it is the perfect way to describe Stannis. But more on the ill-fated bathroom break later. The most poignant example of the fleeting nature of safety came at the end of the episode, where a bed and a bathroom turned into sudden tombs. The Hound was left dying on the side of the mountain with no money, no water, and no ear, while Brienne will be forced to dwell on the fact that Arya slipped right out from between her fingers, once again failing an oath she swore to keep.

So as Brienne and The Hound took turns bloodying each other, the fight began to represent the actualities of war-there are no winners, only losers. But as it often does, pride gets in the way. This fight didn’t need to happen, and had these two groups teamed up, they might have even found safety. This brings us to The Hound’s quote and to what was, in my opinion, the best fight scene of the season between him and Brienne. The weirwood in Bran’s vision finally appeared, but even there safety was not found, as Jojen was killed while doing his best Talisa impression. Daenerys already knew her dragons made Meereen unsafe for its sheep, but now because of her, children are dying too. The Mountain wasn’t safe even though he bested Oberyn. Mance Raider wasn’t safe even when surrounded by his entire army. “Safety? Where the f*ck’s that?”Īs the characters of Game of Thrones were reminded last night, safety is fleeting at best.

The theme of the episode, and of the series as a whole, was summed up nicely by The Hound. Game of Thrones concluded its fourth season last night with the aptly named episode “The Children”-a sprawling episode that jumped between the north and the south wrapping up storylines and killing off characters.
