Indeed, another jam-packed episode for Game of Thrones. Episode 6 titled “A Golden Crown” showed us lots of interesting things, but, in my opinion, nothing beats the final scene. Let’s dig in below.
TV Fanatic: It appears Robert didn’t take Ned’s decision to walk away from the role as Hand to heart. His chat with Ned didn’t leave any doubt he’s in a really precarious position. In debt up to his eyeballs to the Lannisters and surrounded by them on all sides, he doesn’t have a choice but to walk in the path they set out for him, King or not.
I really enjoyed the scenes with Daenerys. That was one giant chunk of heart that Dany had to eat for the ritual. I would not have, in any way possible, been able to keep that down. Even watching was making me sick. But damned if our girl didn’t pull it off in the end. She is such an awesome warrior.
The look of jealousy on Viserys’s face was priceless as he realized how completely Dany had gained the love of her new people. After we saw the attachment Dany had to the dragons eggs, there was no way he was going to escape with them. Even if he had, I believe something other-worldy would have protected them from Viscerys.
Dany made one last stand on her brother’s behalf, but he did finally wear “A Golden Crown” befitting the king he would have been. While he was entertaining, I will not miss his presence. From his desire to be ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, a true Dothraki Khaleesi was born, instead.

Tyrion was on fire fighting against Lysa Arryn. She had no idea what she was up against. His brains against hers were little match. Her freaky little son screaming for the little man to fly and giggling at the thought of battle left me cold. I like nothing about Catelyn’s sister.
I missed something with Joffrey and it involved his complete about face with regard to Sansa. The look on her face was sheer pre-teen bliss, as if she had just met and been wooed by Justin Bieber.
Unfortunately for her, Ned hasdjust figured out that the entire Baratheon family was black of hair until Joffrey. He immediately realized the degree of danger surrounding his family and ordered his daughters home.
Finally, the final scene. Viserys wanted a crown? Well, he got one. A silver one.
Overall, the episode was a little too fragmented for my taste. There were so many important things happening, such as Ned ordering the death of Gregor Clegane in the King’s stead, the battle between Tyrion’s and Lysa’s champions and the King’s hunt.
To end, here is my favorite quote from “A Golden Crown:”
Daenerys: He was no dragon. Fire cannot kill the dragon.
