[Game of Thrones] Season Five

Could not resist....

Spoiler

 

I think I've mentioned this before but I can't help but think the story (book and show) will end with a scene where she comes out of nowhere to kill one of the folks on her list just when they think they have won the game of thrones.

 

Spoiler

I didn't get it the first time but the 2nd time I read it I realized it was pretty clear who robert strong was supposed to be.

 

After that Rockets game I feel a little like Sansa right now.

 

I want to flay people.

 

Who of the potential throne candidates is her enemy or on her list though? I don't see your theory making any sense right now, she doesn't give a thing about Daenerys, Stannis, Littlefinger, *potential secret king that some think is a true blood relative because of hints*, Tyrells, etc.

Maybe you still have the Lannisters on the throne in one season and Arya killing them, but I don't see anyone else making sense right now.

 

On the arya front:

wouldn't she have to give up on the list if she wants to truly be able to be considered a faceless assassin?

 

^ Good point and definitely worth considering.

We shall see how the show handles this

 

Yes. The faceless assasins I believe have some sort of code with killing where they cannot do so without a contract or some type of agreement.

Obviously it was significant that Arya hid her sword in the earlier episode and that will come back into play sometime soon.

Keep in mind that GRRM steals source materials plot lines constantly from famous stories, and movies (see Oberyn Martell's character stolen from Inigo character from Princess Bride story). I definitely see parallels to Luke Skywalker's arch in The Empire Strikes Back where he leaves his training early, and it ultimately costs him an arm, and a near death scenario.

 

A lot of scenes are too dark on tonight's episode. Literally too dark to see.

 

Yeah I was wondering if that was just my tv.

For once I didn't mind the sand snakes, turned my sand snake into a rock snake.

 

By far their least annoying scene. They probably should have led with something like this, they definitely seemed more Oberyn like. Hopefully Bronn is in the clear now, but you never know with this damn show.

 

Too many moneyshot moments that ended up awkward and rushed in this episode, the moneyshot scenes could have been way more powerful but felt tepid and flaccid.

 

Was Daenerys just dethroned by the sand snake.
Those t***.

 

I think we now know why that one sand snake was cast.

Damned poison causing blurry vision.

 

Basically this

 

This is her 5 years ago

Just realized she's only 19. 18 when that scene was shot. She wasted no time doing a nude scene.

 

Sersei sure got hers didn't she?

I wonder what the King will do now, maybe the Sparrows are about to become extinct.

Awesome episode... I love this show
