The WiC Scale: Winners and Losers from “Book of the Stranger”

If it’s Friday, it must be time for the WiC Scale, our weekly score of who’s up, who’s down, and who’s out in Game of Thrones. We’re almost halfway through the season, with six episodes left to go! This week, we look at “Book of the Stranger,” the fourth episode of the show’s sixth season. Like last week, “Book of the Stranger” saw several plots gets put on hold. Those waiting out this round included Arya and Bran, as well as another week free of the Damn Dornish.

For those who did get take a turn, how did the dice roll?

Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner

Dany: 

She stack her conquests everywhere she goes
She got those Dragons, her Drogon straight from Illyrio
Oh baby you know, she got them Unsullied and them Dothraki hordes
She don’t gotta give it up cause she professional
Six inch flames, she walked in the fire like nobody’s business
Goddamn, she murdered everybody and I was her witness

Up

Jon Snow and Sansa Stark: Starks Reunited, and it feels so good.
Brienne and Tormund: We all ship it!
Margaery: Not only did she get out of her cell without confessing, she’s even using the torture of having the Seven Pointed Star recited to her against her captors.
Yara and Theon: Greyjoys Reunited….and it wasn’t a total trainwreck. (Sometimes you gotta grade these things on a curve.)
Littlefinger: He’s still got the upper hand in the Vale, as long as he can get the brat in charge to agree with everything he wants

Middling

Edd: It could be worse. He could be Lord Commander.
The High Sparrow: He’s got his mythos down pat. Too bad Margaery saw right through it.
Cersei and Jaime: They got the part of the Small Council that matters to pay attention to them. Too bad they’re giving away the store in the process.
Olenna and Kevan: They have to work with Cersei and Jaime. But the twins are handing Olenna’s army the run of the city…
Ramsay Bolton: He’s got Rickon in his dungoen and sent a threatening letter. Too bad he played right into Sansa’s hands with it.
Tyrion Lannister: He put an end to the war, but not slavery. The good news is he’s got everything under control…for this five-minute span anyway. Dany better come home soon.

Down

Pycelle: Shuffling off to obscurity and uselessness.
Loras: He begged for death. It doesn’t get much lower.
Rickon: He’s in Ramsay’s dungeons. Let’s hope we don’t have to come and see.
Jorah and Daario: Jorah’s transformation into the Thing is getting harder to hide, while Daario learned his dragon-riding days are probably over.

Out

Osha: NOT TONKS YOU BASTARDS. House Hufflepuff 4eva
Khal Moro and Friends: Next time guys, try serving.
