Game of Thrones Season 5 Discussion [SPOILERS WITHIN]

[FatAndFaithless]

Okay, just finished watching and.... *sigh*

I'm reviving Sansa+Theon=4ever - or until Ramsay finds them with broken legs outside the walls of Winterfell. I sure hope they jumped into a snow drift or something. I loved that Sansa broke herself out of her room and had the "If I'm going to die I want to die as me" kind of moment.

Spoilers

They're alive. They did land in snow, this time of year in the north they have literally like 10 feet of snow to jump into.

Cersei.... Cersei, Cersei, Cersei... It's hard not to think of how much she deserves to be knocked down a few notches, but at the same time I watched that whole scene thinking that no one, not even Cersei, deserves that kind of humiliation. That will definitely have hardened her resolve and I fear what might happen to her enemies in the future...

Agreed. One thing the show does pretty damn well is getting us to feel sympathy for characters once thought irredeemable. And her face was great when Frankenmountain was carrying her away, like a "i'm going to kill them all" face.

Dany - okay, last time this season:
FREE THE DAMN DRAGONS!!!!
Your subjects grow restless, Dany...


I swear in one of the trailers there was a scene with a dragon shadow flying over King's Landing so I was fooled by where she was dropped off. I thought she was in Westeros....

That shadow of a dragon over King's Landing was in a vision Bran saw last season, the big question is if it was a vision of the past or future~

I'm so glad that Varys is back with Tyrion. They're the dynamic duo who seem actually kind of capable of ruling a city, let alone a whole continent. Throw in sexy Grey Worm with his belly bandage and we're looking a some good politics happening.

Yeah, the Tyrion-Varys buddy cop comedy is one of my favorites in the show.

Arya... Huh? She killed a guy for self-serving purposes, got it. She did something bad, no arguing. But going blind? Huh??

Punishment from Jaqen. One does not take duty to the Many-Faced God lightly!

Jaime... His daughter dies in his arms right before Father's Day... bummer. :p

Yeah that sucked for him :c

Jon. Hm... I was surprised on the one hand, but not on the other. Sam gets sent away to become a maester leaving Jon completely friendless now, so it was almost inevitable that something like that would happen. Ollie was staring daggers at him for weeks. I actually thought for a moment that the red woman coming through the gates of Castle Black was Sansa and thought "wow, she made really good time!!" but alas...

He's like his father. He actually missed the trees for the forest. So focused on the grand overarching ideas of peace with the wildlings and unification against the white walkers that he totally missed the dangerous positions in which he was putting his men, who had spent genertaions fighting against the very people he gives free land to, while they're all bound to the wall for life. Shocking moment, but not unexpected. I do hope the red woman plays a role though, since it would be kinda pointless to make a show of her arriving before he dies.

Now the waiting begins... Maybe I'll have read all the books by next season? :p

Do it! The books are amazing.
