Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things

Season 01 Episode 04

Cripples, Bastards And Broken Things focuses on arguably the most interesting characters and aspects of the show: Tyrion, Jon Snow, The Night’s Watch and life at The Wall.

The Night’s Watch has a new recruit in the form of Samwell Tarly, a soft young man who’s been forced into the order by his father as an alternative to death. As a coward and a weakling, Sam’s father deemed him unworthy to be his heir and threatened to kill him unless he ‘took the Black’, so now he finds himself among criminals, rapists, former knights and Jon Snow. Unsurprisingly, the other recruits are quick to pick on the dim-witted young man, but after an intervention of Snow’s part (with the help of Ghost, who finally makes a return appearance), it isn’t long before Samwell starts to make friends and open up about his messed up family.

On the subject of sons who disappoint their fathers, Tyrion has returned to Winterfell to check up on the crippled Bran at the behest of his stepbrother. Bran is now being carried around by the large but simple-minded Hodor (“Hodor!”), but Tyrion, who knows his family is responsible, provides the plans for a saddle that may enable the young Stark to ride horses again. Untrusted by the rest of Winterfell, Tyrion opts to stay at a local whorehouse, but not before trading words with a character who has, up till now, remained in the background: Theon Greyjoy (played by Alfie Allen, son of Keith, brother of Lily).
