[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Game of Thrones” Season 7, Episode 3, “The Queen’s Justice.”]
It’s no surprise that David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are listed as the writers on “The Queen’s Justice,” Sunday night’s episode of “Game of Thrones.” Much has been made about the changing of the guard in the series’ authorship as the show has outdistanced the source material. Without the shorthand of the book to fill in the knowledge gaps (both in actions and emotions), “Game of Thrones” is now fully feeling the weight of its lengthy character list. There’s no helpful appendix to clarify what role specific individuals are playing in the war to come. It has to be rehashed and diagrammed on atrium floors and on carved tabletops until it’s firmly established where everyone stands.
In an episode filled with strategic positioning, for Jon Snow that place is in the hall at Dragonstone, in the presence of a queen he’s hesitant to acknowledge.
