Game of Thrones Screencap Breakdown: “Book of the Stranger”
By Ani Bundel
A shot of the bay outside the town of Peñíscola in Spain, where the scenes in Meereen were filmed. The Spanish Tourism Board encourages you to book your Game of Thrones vacation now.
An overview of the negotiations in the Pyramid. I know a lot of people thought this might be an assassination scene, especially after Missandei said, “The Masters only speak one language, we should speak it back to them.” Tyrion really provided them with prostitutes.
Well it was a “long” time that they waited, so it’s not that far off from “fat.”
Another shot of Peñíscola’s waterfront and historical castles. Meereenese politics not included in most vacation packages.
Meanwhile, in a different Spanish filming location, the producers nodded to book-readers by featuring Daario’s women-shaped knife.
And then there’s this nod to Fantastic Four fans. Iain Glen as The Thing—why not?
I know you’re not supposed to carry weapons in Vaes Dothrak, but dirt is ineffective in a fight. Jorah would have been better off aggressively rubbing his greyscaled arm on Aggo.
Please note: part of the reason the Dosh Khaleen are so shocked Dany doesn’t want to join their ranks is because of this moment right here. Most of these women were abused by their now-deceased khals, who treated them like property. This is the best life they could hope for—in fact, it’s the thing some of them probably looked forward to when they were forcibly married to a khal.
(I also love how eager they are to hear rumors about the khaleesi who walked away.)
No Daario! Bad Daario! Put down the knife, Daario! Sit! Stay!
