re: Game of Thrones S5:E1:"The Wars to Come", HODORS ONLY (no book readers/leakers)

Solid episode last night. Nothing great, but mostly solid. In a weird way, it felt weird to be watching new GoT episodes...it feels like it's been so fricking long since the last one.

1) Is Stannis tying to take the north now that Tywin is dead?

---

He will take it only on his way to King's Landing. K'sL/the iron throne is his main goal I believe.

What happens to the wildling army?

---

He will give them land in the north in exchange for fighting for/with him (at least that's what he said last night to Jon Snow).

quote:

---

What happens if the horde of White Walkers is seen. Does Stannis turn and attack the WWs?

---

No chance I don't think. IMO, the only thing you can face the WWs with is numbers, so he'd likely keep going south and warning people that the WWs are right behind them. WWs are the one thing that could potentially unite humans together (though it's doubtful that humans would do that willingly).

2)Where is the Dragon? At what point does she let the other 2 go. And when is she going to get across the sea? From a Hodor the battle that has been setting up since season 1 is Dragons vs. White Walkers. I'm ready for that story line. Is Tyrian going to get that ball rolling?

---

Nobody knows where Drogon is...so he's likely flying all around the world fricking shite up like the boss dragon that he is.

As for when she gets across the sea, I have a feeling we will be waiting FOREVER for that to happen. She's stuck in Mereen for now, and even said last season (I think) that she's good to rule over there for now. Plus, with Tyrion and Varys now travelling overseas to see her, that will only stall her storyline even more IMO. I really hope I'm wrong, but I'm not sure Tyrion will live much longer since he's no longer in K'sL and his father is dead. With all the shite going down lately, being a Lannister doesn't carry the same respect it used to and he will be a target (by someone other than his family members for a change).

My hope is that Tyrion bangs Daenerys and gets her mind right, and they have little dragon babies and rule the world. But sadly I don't see that coming to fruition.

3)Are Ariaya and Sansa ever going to reunite? Where are Littlefinger and Sansa going? Maybe Bravos?

---

Doubtful that they will unite, and I bet Arya ends up turning into some sort of face-changing badass like her buddy Jaqen.

I don't know if it's likely, but hopefully Hound isn't dead and he and Arya will reunite soon...I am gonna miss them on screen together a lot.

In fact, Arya is one that I really wanted to see last night and she wasn't on it at all I dno't think. So hopefully that means we get a large dose of her next week.
