Game of Thrones, season 6 episode 1, The Red Woman: 'shock' - review

You've got to feel for the Royal Imp (Peter Dinklage). He spent the entirety of last year tracking down Daenerys only to watch helplessly as she was attacked by insurgents and swept off into the yonder by an angry dragon.

Now the Lannister dwarf has been parachuted into Meereen as de facto ruler and doesn't seem entirely sure what he should do (other than obviously rooting out the Sons of the Harpy – and he hardly needs Varys around to tell him that).

Little has to date fazed the most cunning of the Lannisters.

Yet the unearned promotion will surely test his cunning, especially now that the rebels have torched a whole harbour of ships. We're looking forward to Tyrion thinking his way out of this impasse. 

It's going to be fun watching Cersei and Jaime take revenge against the ENTIRE WORLD

Cersei's Penitence Walk placed viewers in the novel position of feeling sorry for the arch-villainess.

Her week from hell was rendered doubly devastating as Jaime returned from Dorne with their daughter Myrcella in a casket.

While Cersei (Lena Headey) displayed heartbreaking tenderness towards her dead child (whom she loved precisely because her kindness made her so unlike herself), Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) could think only of revenge.

This was them against the world now and nothing else mattered.

They have quite a "naughty" list, too – including (but certainly not limited to), the High Sparrow, Cersei's kissing cousin Lancel and the Sand Snakes who poisoned her daughter (and this week killed off the Prince of Dorne for good measure).

Project Vengeance is still very much at the planning stage but when Cersei and Jaime's wrath is fully unleashed expect the punishments meted out to be cruel and unusual. Scorched-earth payback is what the Lannisters do best.
