‘Game of Thrones’ reached a new low in ‘The Last of the Starks’ when it came to its depictions of women.
Liz Shannon Miller: For a show that sports a number of interesting female characters, boy do the men behind this season of “Game of Thrones” struggle to write them. In Episode 4 of the final season, “The Last of the Starks,” this flaw stood out more painfully than ever, as several of the most interesting women in Westeros saw their character stories moving forward… many in ways that proved completely off-putting.
Giving her a burst of romance with Jaime in this episode, then following it with Jaime breaking her heart and leaving her in tears, felt like watching a stranger — or, you know, a poorly written version of a character we’d previously known pretty well. While she has a history of crushing on dudes, that’s no reason to believe that her reaction to Jaime’s decision to leave her would be a teary breakdown.
Ann Donahue: For me, it was the dispatch of Missandei that sent me over the edge. To have the sole woman of color in the series captured under absurd circumstances that are never explained, and then shackled and paraded around a predominantly white crowd for inevitable execution is a degree of tone-deaf that cannot be fathomed. Crack open the writers’ room, guys, and let some of that male, pale and stale air out. Also: I want Nymeria to eat Jon.
During her reunion with The Hound, Sansa and her former protector sit around reminiscing about the bad old days. The Hound tells Sansa, she’s changed, man, and that if she’d just left King’s Landing with him back in Season 2, she could have avoided a lot of pain.
