Wait, are they actually introducing the Oldtown plot?

Season 6 then?

Edit: Dat Randyll Tarly shoutout. He has to show up at some point.

 

[Atraveller]

Melisandre is leaving, who's gonna resurrect Jon then?

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

Wait, are they actually introducing the Oldtown plot?

I guess with the advent of fast travel in Westeros the trip to Oldtown will maybe take one episode.

 

[Pkaz01]

Melisandre is leaving, who's gonna resurrect Jon then?

My guess is the king white walker is going to control him until arya comes back and sets jon free

 

[Emerson]

Melisandre leaving is mighty interesting.

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

He has no genitals.

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

fookin' hell. Greyworm lives so he could have more romance scenes with Missandei and Barry the Bold dies

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

I wonder if he likes crickets.

 

[Basileus777]

Dany's decision to do THAT really comes out of nowhere here.

 

[Atraveller]

Wedding proposal came waaaaay too fast, unsullied are like wut

 

[Burt]

Okay, now, you can't do that. Dany being forced to marry Hizdahr was good because it exacerbated internal conflict between Mereen and Westeros. Her offering it herself just makes her look... shortsighted, to say the least.

And a Westerosi Sunfish going through Valyria? Okay.

 

[Kaladin]

That dude was like.......wtf.

 

[Dreadnought]

Well Jorah...

Spoiler

you had a good run

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Well Jorah...

Spoiler

you had a good run

I'm sure he'll last just long enough to bring it to Westeros.

 

[Atraveller]

Dany is fAegon confirmed.

 

[Basileus777]

Did they show him get touched?

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

Yep, Jorah is the Connington stand in.

 

[Emerson]

BOY THIS DON'T MAKE NO SENSE

 

[Burt]

Yep, Jorah is the Connington stand in.

Old exile with that Targaryen fever? Should've seen it coming.

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

Jorah not a good liar

 

[Red Comet]

Welp

 

[reggieandTFE]

The cinematography in the Jorah/Tyrion scenes has been absolutely fantastic.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Much better episode than last week's.

 

[Altazor]

goddamn, that stone men scene looked almost exactly as I pictured when I first read it... except for the characters, of course. But the visuals... eerily similar. Loved it.

In any case, RIP Griff and Young Griff (?)

 

[Massa]

Great ep.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Rip in peace fAegon.

Taken before your time.

 

[Kaladin]

I'm starting to wonder if they streamlined the book plots and eliminated Aegon all together.

Surely they skip the whole Second Sons bit too, right?

 

[SpaceHorror]

Now that we've had Ramsey's origin story in the show, the table is set for "Don't make me rue the day I raped your mother."

 

[Basileus777]

I'm starting to wonder if they streamlined the book plots and eliminated Aegon all together.

Aegon's gone for certain.

Now that we've had Ramsey's origin story in the show, the table is set for "Don't make me rue the day I raped your mother."

My body is ready to cringe.

 

[Violater]

Who is going to set the dragons free?

 

[Kaladin]

Aegon's gone for certain.

Did not know that.

When I read the Aegon stuff, it felt forced....glad the show is eliminating it.

 

[Basileus777]

Who is going to set the dragons free?

Missandei.

Did not know that.

It's not officially confirmed or anything, that's just how it seems to be.

 

[Fuzzy]

Who is going to set the dragons free?

Jorah but the fire won't kill him, instead it will cure his greyscale.

 

[Violater]

Missandei.

Bite your tongue.

Jorah but the fire won't kill him, instead it will cure his greyscale.

I would be ok with this, but doubtful he will make it back to Daney this season.

 

[Atraveller]

Missandei.

I'd say Grey Worm, just so Missandei could cry over the sickbed again.

 

[aceface]

Well I guess grayscale really is important to the plot somehow. I wonder what's coming up with that.

RIP Griff and his subplot. You could tell it wasn't really going anywhere anyways.

 

[IAmtheFMan]

I'm glad the show took some time so that we could see and hear about Valyria. Nice little World building moment.

 

[Pkaz01]

No arya again? how is arya going to miss 3 out of the first 5 episodes?

 

[Kaladin]

It's not officially confirmed or anything, that's just how it seems to be.

Yeah, they've skipped over almost too much without him, unless he's a super surprise casting later in the season.

At any rate, nothing of value would be lost without Aegon.

 

[Basileus777]

That Sam scene is pretty intriguing. It develops Randyll Tarly, establishes Oldtown and a reason for Sam to go there. But I can't see the show actually putting in Oldtown with its casting and set requirements.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Missandei.

 

[Vhagar]

Stannis grammar nazi was great. He's been a standout this season.

 

[Violater]

No arya again? how is arya going to miss 3 out of the first 5 episodes?

I know right, I really hope they go into her going blind and developing her "second sight" ability.



Preview spoiler

Spoiler

seems we see her next week

 

[Kaladin]

So the big battle this year seems to be Stannis taking Winterfell....or is something else on the horizon that I'm forgetting?

 

[Lautaro]

I called it, I knew Jorah would become Connington... makes me sad though.

All Stannis team leaving together leaves me full of questions.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Really strong episode, the show almost always excels when they are able to dive a little deeper into fewer plots in a single episode, and they did that well here.

The Valyria/Stone Men scenes were great, absolutely gorgeous cinematography. RIP Jorah :/

Random adaption comment: very interesting to see everyone in the Stannis camp leave Castle Black...

 

[hipsterpants]

Pretty good episode:

- Dany scenes were bad and felt rushed. How does randomly killing a family leader solve anything lol. What if the harpies aren't family leaders? Won't the members of that family want revenge for his death? Also marriage proposal out of fucking nowhere.

- Sam definitely has to go to Oldtown now. Even if we don't see it they need an excuse for him to get away from the wall when Jon gets "killed" since he's literally the only dude that wants to save the wildlings too. Also I'm guessing we'll get something with that Tarly/Targ connection that was dropped.

- While Littlefinger's scheme is incredibly stupid, I really like Sansa's storyline. Especially the Roose/Ramsay interactions.

- Missandei/Grey Worm literally the worst.

- The candle in the tower thing... I'm guessing that'll be the moment when Theon gets Sansa out of Winterfell?

- Also I'm guessing Jorah will last just long enough to accomplish something amazing with Dany. There's no other way!

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Definitely a cool episode. The Valyria bit was pretty awesome. Stone Men, *shivers*.

Also, anyone else overthinking the line about the Children using Dragonglass? Makes me wonder about the WW and the Children's relationship.

 

[petethepanda]

Efficiency is coming, cutting fools left and right. Most excellent.

 

[LordCanti]

Mel going with Stannis makes me think Stannis wins but only because the wife burns poor Shireen while he's not looking :/ I'm not sure what that means for Jon yet. I can't imagine them not having the stabbing in there but I also don't know what happens if she's not around.

Everything at Valyria was fantastic. It very easily could have been cheesy but they managed to pull it off.

The Meereen and Winterfell scenes were about as good as they could be I suppose. I liked the Winterfell scenes more than I did the ones in Meereen. Brienne getting a message to Sansa via a random servant using the servant information network (that seems to run on candles and whispers) was... well... alright, whatever.
