I liked this episode, even though it was super short. It felt like they only focused on a fwe storylines, and were able to hash things out a little more than normal.
Yeah, I love Barristan Selmy, but his touching scene with Dany coupled with him running toward the fighting, sword drawn, you knew it meant bad news for him. I am hopeful that he and Grey Worm survive, but it isn't looking good at this point.
As for Dany, I don't know why she doesn't just let the people have their fighting pits...it doesn't make much sense for her to deny them, and it seems like every single day, she loses more and more power and people are tired of her shite. And now she has a HUGE problem with all this Sons of the harpy stuff...those dudes are taking out Unsullied with relative ease. That can't be good for business.
Yeah, his screen time would vastly improve if he left the Wall, but I just don't know if he will. Maybe Red Titty Witch can convince him...good to see she's still fine as ever (despite her apparent plastic surgery to her face it seems like). I wonder how long he can decline her, especially now that she is using his "make me fall in love with you" line on him.
Also glad to see my girl Shireen...I love her. And even though he's still basically a robot, it was good to see a human side of Stannis the Mannis.
As for Sansa, I was glad to see her storyline get better, and now it's getting even more interesting by the episode. I love Littlefinger's moves that he is making. He has the Vale, which is in the middle part of Westeros. And he knows that a) Sansa is in Winterfell hellbent on revenge against the Boltons, and b) Stannis is also headed to Winterfell as well. So he knows that he can marry Sansa in the future and basically control the northern half of the entire continent. He's making big moves, and I like that.
Yeah, I was hoping that Jaime would be a complete badass with one hand, but it doesn't seem like that's gonna be the case. Hopefully he can learn to use his hand to his advantage and become a good fighter again. Glad to see Bronn back though...he's a great character, and definitely a badass.
I didn't like the scene with Oberyn's daughters and Ellaria though. I don't know if it was because they were all bad actresses or what, but it just felt sort of silly/stupid to me. Why would Ellaria Sand want to start a war? Like Prince Doran said, Oberyn wasn't "murdered," he was killed in trial by combat, and she saw what happened with her own eyes... So what good would starting a war do for her or for Dorne?
As for K'sL, it was cool to see Tommen realize how little power he has since he isn't feared by anybody really. Even though Joffrey was a putrid little shite, he wasn't afraid to merk people for fun, and so he at least was somewhat feared by the masses (despite getting shite thrown at him a time or two
). Tommen gets nothing, and doesn't have the balls to make people respect him yet. And the power struggle between Cersei and Margaery is pretty funny to watch.
And Tyrion figuring out who Jorah is without him saying a word was pretty funny/awesome. That dude is straight up entertaining every single second he's on screen.
Yeah, on HBOgo, t he episode was like 57 minutes. There was a minute or so of previews for other shows, then a few minutes of "previously on GoT" plus the credits, and then a minute of end credits, and then like 3 or 4 minutes of special features at the end of the episode. I figured there was only about 48 or so minutes of actual show. Sucks.

I hope Jon rides south. Don't want him just hanging out at the wall. You would think he would definitely do so if he learns that Sansa is in Winterfell

No clue how the hell Jamie and Bronn plan to pull this off when clearly Jamie is pretty useless. On the other hand, looks like Oberyn's daughters are pretty badass themselves.

I believe Bronn hinted twice that Cersie wants Jamie dead. The whole "Why are you hear?" conversation on the boat and the second was when they were eating the snakes by the fire. Why she would want that, I have no idea.

Glad we at least got to see that he's still a badass even as an old man
And as much as I dislike Dany, this sons of the harpy story line is at least somewhat interesting.

I just think at some point he is going to realize that Davos was right. And coupled with Sansa being at WF he will say frick it and ride south with the night's watch.
And I love me some red witch

That scene was awesome and made me like Stannis even more

This is building up to be the most interesting story

Revenge. Plain and simple. She's clearly off her rocker
I didn't even get previews as it didn't start recording until the opening credits were rolling for whatever reason.
