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.


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.

quote:

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 (


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

quote:

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


That scene was awesome and made me like Stannis even more

quote:

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.


This is building up to be the most interesting story

quote:

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?


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.

It is. And that's good because we know she's gonna be fricking stuck in Mereen for a while, so at least we have something going on and actually developing instead of her just bitching about power every other episode.

Not to mention that based on the preview (and the poster for the entire season) it looks like Drogon is about to start making some meaningful appearances. I am really hoping that Dany gains some sort of control over the dragons again and reigns down on Mereen, and that's how she gets her power/respect back...that would be awesome and I'd actually respect her again.

I hope so. Plus, that would maybe mean we get to see more Davos, and I love me some fricking Davos Seaworth.

Do we know what Jon's opinion of Theon Greyjoy is..?? Based on ravens and wahtnot, you'd have to assume that he knows that Theon "killed" Bran and Rickon, but have we seen that he does actually know that? Either way, whether he likes Theon or wants to kill him, if he finds out that Sansa AND Theon are both in Winterfell, it may be too much for him to ignore and stay at Castle Black. That's what I'm hoping for..

It is. And I absolutely can't stand Peter Baelish, but I have to respect the game that he is palying. He's been playing the long con for a while now, and it could eventually pay off HUGE for him.

On top of all of this, I am all for storylines combining. Not only does it make things more interesting, but it also allows the characters/storylines to get more screen time since they don't have to jump back and forth between so many. If Jon Snow could head to Winterfell, we'd basically have him, Sansa, and Theon in the same place, which would be three fairly main storylines from the last couple season combining into the same place/one.
