I’ve mentioned a few times how challenging Game Of Thrones can be to recap. There’s often an urge to try and find an overarching theme that unifies the episode and inevitably everyone seems to identify a different one. There’s also the frequent danger of lapsing into a basic point by point breakdown of the episode, which can make for some pretty dry reading. With that in mind, let’s tackle this week’s episode.

Performance. Theatrical performances. As much as we’ve explored power, and sexuality, and even gender, this season, this may be the first episode of Game Of Thrones in which performance and theatricality plays an integral role in several character interactions.

I can say without a doubt that Game Of Thrones is my most difficult show to recap. Probably because it feels like there is so much going on and there are so many characters that it’s a struggle to do more than simply reiterate what happens in each episode. So let’s give this third episode, ‘What Is Dead May Never Die’ the good ole’ fashioned try since it handily broke the action down to a few key places.

After a rousing re-introduction to the land of Westeros last week, Game Of Thrones continues to roll out a number of storylines. This second episode fleshes out several of the new players even as it continues to expand the world of the show. Rather than give a traditional recap, I think discussing the interesting (problematic?) portrayal of women in the show is the way to go this week.
