GAME OF THRONES: SEASON 6, EPISODE 9 Winter is coming. All men must die. And Game of Thrones is back! Stay tuned each week as we unpack Sunday’s episodes through masterpieces.“There is no need for battle.” In Winterfell and Meereen epic battles wage. One leader takes to the skies with her reptilian kin, showing that fire can conquer all (although politics might be a better option). Two queens unite to rectify the evil acts of their fathers, while in the north siblings argue over battle plans, troop numbers, and sadistic foes. In this clash of Snows many play the game of life and death (“If I die I order you not to bring me back.”). A sister comes to the rescue and justice finally arrives for the wicked because starving hounds have no loyalty (“Your words will disappear. Your house will disappear. Your name will disappear. All memory of you will disappear.”). The secret of the red woman’s false sacrifice is revealed. To make our Game of Thrones posts more international, we’ll feature an image from our Global Middle Ages exhibition and pick “wildcard” images from other collections around the world. This week’s wildcard image comes from the The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (an innocent stag). A scene of cannon fire comes from the Getty’s most recent manuscript acquisition, Livre des fais de Jacques de Lalaing.Dive deeper with featurettes connecting the making of medieval manuscripts to the making of fantasy TV. -- source link
