Several languages are spoken in Game Of Thrones season one, but none so frequently as irony. Other instances (“I have known Lord Walder since I was a girl,” says Catelyn Stark, “He will never harm me!”) are much more deliberately designed. Meeting little Rickon Stark at an archery session in the knowledge that five seasons later, he’ll provide the target practice, is ominous but only inadvertently so. It foreshadows Dany’s final scene of the season, in which she walks into the flames of a funeral pyre and emerges unburned, undressed and with only a baby dragon for modesty, held artfully in front of her great grass sea. Knowing what we know now-that Daenerys Stormborn is the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of da dum da dum di dum di of Dragons-the hot bath takes on significance.
