Jon Chokes Littlefinger in the Crypts - Leaving for Dragonstone - Game o...

I find this scene really special and interesting.

Jon knows that this man sold Sansa to the Bolton. But this is behind them. Littlefinger has led the Val Army to Winterfell, they serve the Stark and have sworn allegiance. Jon and Sansa do not trust him but he is their ally and they need him. Jon knows it and accepts it even if it is reluctantly.

During their exchange, we see in Jon's face how much he despises Littlefinger. However, he is content to ignore him.

Lord Baelish is intelligent, he never does anything who not serve his purpose. Here, he tries to reveal to Jon his love feelings towards Sansa. He thus poses as an ally, implicitly asking permission to court his king's sister.

The NORMAL reaction to have would have been to get upset and tell him that it would never happen. What Robb would have done.

But Jon does not just get upset and refuse. No, he gets into a rage, strangling Littlefinger violently and threatening to kill him. This greatly surprises Lord Baelish (who always imagines all the possible scenarios but did not anticipate this). Littlefinger is Jon's ally. He is the lord of Val, participates in political meetings and so on ... Jon can not attack him that way just because he tells him that he is in love with his sister. Of course, after what he did, Jon is angry and sick of hearing that. Yet, he put his resentment aside by accepting the allegiance of Val. Jon is someone pretty calm. He is very rarely impulsive and violent. If his own sister, who is the victim, was able to ask Littlefinger for help after all this and accept him as an ally, he can not, long after the fact, attack that guy for what he did in the past.

The writer and director spent a lot of time on this scene. On Jon's crazy rage that we've never seen before. On the surprise of Littlefinger who did not expect such a reaction. And on him who, well after the aggression, is still holding his throat (which shows the violence of the scene), frowning to understand what just happened and then look up to Sansa.

In my opinion (but this is only mine), this scene is there to start showing that Jon's feelings for Sansa exceed those of a brother for his sister. In fact, there is normally a deleted scene between the crypt and Jon's departure where he tells Ghost to protect Sansa and look after her for him. They just want to show us that Jon cares about his sister? No need, we know it for a while. To create a tension between Littlefinger and him? No need, they will never see each other again. This scene has NO meaning unless it shows something that is beginning to appear. Otherwise, they could have cut all that and preferred a longer screen time for Jon and Daenerys or other stuff much more important.

Pretty sure that Tormund could defeat the whole night king and his army simply by trying to seduce him like he has Brienne

It's interesting how in both scenes Jon basically validating both Dany and Sansa as queen and the Lady of Winterfell but Jon didn't give a real reason to why Dany deserve to be his Queen, while in Sansa's case, he explained fully on how she deserve to be the Lady of Winterfell. (bonus point for sansa for validates jon as a stark and worthy to have the lord’s chamber and the responsibility that comes with it)

Jon & Daenerys, why I think he bent the knee and found himself caught in his own trap.

I’d like to go back to Jon’s interactions with Daenerys in season 7 and what they show about Jon’s feelings.

[ English is not my native language so sorry if there are mistakes. ]

Before he left, the Lords, Lyanna & Sansa told him that they could not trust a Targaryen and that it was a trap. Reminding him at the same time of the fate of his grandfather and his uncle. Jon says he must still take the risk.

First interaction with Daenerys, a strong, proud, menacing queen who orders him to bend the knee, not listening to his arguments. Jon is desperate to understand that he has fallen into a “trap”, frustrated at not being listened to, worried about the consequences, etc. He is then made a “prisoner” and thinks only of returning to Winterfell to help his family.

Jon’s second interaction and second attempt at approach, in a less direct and softer way. Daenerys and he still can not get along and his frustration is growing. Nevertheless, the queen makes a concession by allowing him to extract the Dragon Glass and he is grateful to her, hoping that she finally believes him, which is unfortunately not the case.

Then we have a scene where Davos asks what Jon thinks of Dany. In a neutral tone he replies that he thinks she has a good heart. Davos jokes that Jon looking at Dany’s body. To which Jon answers indifferently that he has no time for that. And Jon goes on to the king of the night and the fact that the North has too few men to defend themselves. We can see that Jon have nothing wrong against Daenerys but he has better else to do than to think of a pretty woman.

Third attempt: Jon becomes more charming and sweet, takes the queen to see old drawings showing the threat of white walkers. He managed to reach Daenerys but she still persists that he has to bend the knee, which he refuses again. He explains that his people do not want to be submitted to a sovereign of the South, that they chose him because they believed in him and he can not betray them. During this exchange, for the first time Dany & Jon are no longer in a strong position but just 2 people discussing a threat and what to do. Jon is seen hugely watching the queen, as since their second exchange. He is in observation, analysis. He tries to know her, to understand her, to see her reactions to find HOW to change her mind. As he says himself, nothing matters except the battle against the dead and Jon is desperate to get there.

Fourth Interaction: Daenerys gets angry with Tyrion, blames him for their defeat, and almost accuses him of treason. Jon looks at Davos, embarrassed to have to attend and then seems taken aback and a little annoyed. Then, surprised that Dany suddenly asks him for advice, an “enemy” prisoner. He gives her a wise advice but also seems very cautious in his way of expressing himself and rather annoyed by that at the beginning. It must be said that Jon did not come here to help the Queen fight against her enemies from the South, nor to advise her. He came for allies for a much bigger war.

Fifth interaction: Jon succeeds in touching Drogo, which marks the beginning of Dany’s true feelings for him (she is immediately more smiling, confides more etc …). Jon, although attracted by the dragons, sees them for what they are (a weapon of mass destruction). When he begins to say he does not think about the word “beautiful” about them, Dany glares at him and we see Jon immediately siding on her side, and agree. He does not want to offend her, he wants her to be well disposed to him because he needs her. Throughout their discussion, he often looks at her in an observant way, he analyzes her again by her words and actions. When Jorah returns, Jon still watches Daenerys.

Sixth interaction: Jon reiterates his desire and his need to go home to prepare the defenses of his house. He shows his exasperation at Daenerys by pointing out that even with few men he will do what is necessary unless she finally agrees to be his ally. But Daenerys is obsessed with Cersei. Finally, there is the idea of bringing back evidence. When Jon declares that he is going to go and Daenerys reminds him that she is holding him back and has not given him permission, Jon gets angry and reminds her sharply that he is king and that he does not need his permission.

Seventh interaction: Here he is about to leave, he bids farewell to Daenerys the mind already focused on his mission and goes away without a look back unlike Jorah.

I think it’s important to point out that Jon, in most scenes with Daenerys where he’s not really trying to convince her (cave, meeting) or observe her (dragon), has his gaze fixed on the ground or towards the horizon. As if his mind was elsewhere and he was not really looking at her. As if, apart from making her an ally, these conversations did not interest her.

Then came the famous mission, the rescue, the death of a dragon and Jon wounded.

8th: When he wakes up, after nearly dying, he finds himself face to face with Daenerys. Then start what I call the survival mission. Jon says he’s sorry, catches the hand of the queen, says he would like to go back, etc. He really shows his remorse. Daenerys does not blame him and, on the contrary, invests herself personally in the battle. Jon seems enormously relieved and thanks her by using a nickname that does not seem to be the right one. After a look at her and a deep breath, came the famous “How about my queen? I will have bent my knee but … ” There is an exchange on the lords of the North and the fact that Dany hopes to be worthy of his allegiance. Jon, telling her that she is, really seems to be lying. The way he has to slowly lift his eyelids, to fix his gaze in a very calm manner and to say “you are,” exudes falseness. He is not a very good liar and there is a background of truth in his lyrics which makes this moment special and compelling but not enough for those who have followed Jon for 7 seasons. His new queen then asks him to rest, he closes his eyes but, as soon as she leaves, reopens them, turns, looks up at the ceiling and sighs deeply. This scene is not trivial.

From what I think: Jon was afraid that Daenerys would blame him for the death of her dragon, seeing that she was not doing it, he was reassured but still wanted to be nice to her to avoid any future change of opinion. With his mind confused and taken aback, he finds himself calling her his queen and talking about bending the knee. Words that he does not really think. He is grateful that she have saved them and to finally accept to help them. He has sympathy for her and even a little affection, especially seeing how she reacts: all cute and full of hope. But NOTHING justified him bending the knee. None of their previous scene led to this. And above all, he would never bend the knee barely awake, without having fully recovered his mind etc … He did this on the spur of the moment to put Daenerys in the pocket. Which explains his sigh at the end.

It is important to speak about Jon not telling Davos what he did. He does not say it to Tyrion either. Nobody knows it except Daenerys.

Then comes the big meeting with Cersei. Jon does his little class “How to kill a White in 2 lessons”. And there comes the big problem: Cersei asks him to swear that he will remain neutral in the conflict with Daenerys. Jon seems really annoyed by this request, thinks, looks at Daenerys then makes the decision to announce that he has already pledged allegiance to Daenerys. This deeply shocks Ser Davos.

In my opinion, Jon did not expect things to go that far. He spoke to Daenerys privately, without even physically bending his knee. But then he had to make a decision. To lie by giving allegiance to Cersei which displeased him and thus showed Daenerys that he was able to lie to put a queen on his side (which was a great risk) or officialized his allegiance to Daenerys (this would make the oath truly valid and not a word in the air). He determined that having Daenerys, her dragons and army on his side was more important than the few troops of Cersei (especially if he remembered the words of his sister about the fact that Cersei is not worth their trust). Except now, here he is stuck. Not only does Cersei seem unwilling to help them, but even Daenerys and Tyrion blame him for not lying. Jon then goes on to say that if lies pile up, words lose their meaning. We understand that he is really frustrated by all that.

After this stormy moment, Jon and Daenerys share a rather interesting moment. Jon seems softer towards her and, for the first time, we see him seem to have sincerely affection for her. He is not trying to convince her at this time. They are just 2 young people discussing. Although it seems clear that Daenerys is the one who have the strongest feelings.

She is in love with him, always takes the first step towards him and is the one who confides. Jon is content to listen to her and “support” her in her confidences.

It is only after all this that Jon sends a letter to his sister informing her that he has bent the knee and that he arrives with Daenerys. Although I think it’s not trivial that this letter was shown by the staff and that Jon starts by talking about Cersei who joined her troops to them and then uses exactly the same formula to say that he has pledged allegiance to Daenerys . We can say that Jon makes Sansa understand that for Cersei AND Daenerys, it is not so simple nor honest than that.

Finally, we have one last really weird scene. Jon, hesitating in front of his queen’s room before finally knocking. Then the two sleep together (without having either a first kiss and sexual tension leading to the act).

The fact that Jon seems to hesitate before knocking is important. Despite Daenerys’ feelings and Jon’s attraction to her, it seems clear to me that he is not in love. And that there were not really any intimate moments between them that could lead to this scene. Unlike Dario who flirts with Daenerys for a while before getting into her apartments. In addition, we are talking about Jon.

In my opinion, Jon takes a little desperately the opportunity of the situation and feelings of Daenerys. He is neither manipulator nor calculator. There is truth in what he does. Yes, he’s sorry for her dragon. Yes, she is beautiful. Yes, she attracts him and he has affection for her. Yes, now that it is official, he considers in part that he owes her allegiance. But no, Jon does not love her. No, he will not give up his kingdom just because she has a “good heart”. No, he will not forget where his loyalty is.

We have seen it with the Widlings: sleeping with Ygrid made Jon sure that she was faithful to him against his own people, and the widlings were less suspicious of him. He loved Ygrid though but lied because his true allegiance was to the Night Watch. I think it’s the same here. By ensuring the love of Daenerys, he protects his people. She will be better able to listen to him so that he can better present her to his subjects. That’s why he insists that she comes with him at Winterfell and not on the back of a dragon, that he tells her “if we have to be allies in this war” etc. This is an allegiance provisional to ensure the good continuity of things. As for the continuation, he will see later with his people, his family and Ser Davos. But it is to them that his loyalty goes. And if they decide, after meeting Daenerys, that they still want to be independent, I can not see Jon denying it for them.

I will finally add that I wonder if the attraction of Jon (but also Daenerys) is not also due to their blood Targaryen. That they feel attracted to each other but without knowing why. I think it’s more obvious from Jon’s point of view as he spends most of the season focusing on the king of the night and being frustrated by Daenerys’ rejections. Because despite all that, he is attracted by her without really understanding why. And maybe with time his feelings will grow. We can already see how he has allowed himself a little more in her presence since he announced publicly that he was loyal to her.

We’ll see...

I only speak the truth...

The Ed Sheeran scene in season 7 is a waste of screen time. Couldve had a least one scene with Ghost but here we are, with Ed Sheeran. Not the fluffy boy I wanted to see.
