OT- Game of Thrones S05 E04: The Sons of the Harpy
It's that time again kids! King Tommen is going for the record with Margaery and not really getting involved with learning how to be king. Arya couldn't part with Needle. Jorah impnapped Tyrion and is taking him to the Mother of Dragons. Here come the Sand Snakes!
Do you know why all the world hates a Lannister?
Best episode of the year so far. IMO.
I thought tonight's episode was fantastic.
Not saying much
but just watched 4 earlier today so I don't know why I didn't just tune in like I'll have to from now on? ha. I hate spoilers so I won't comment on the episode. They've all been good so far but I think this season will end a lot like last in that it feels like it's a long setup for events compared to the insanity that was seasons 1-3.
Your niece?
I loved the constant comments. Also, call me a sap but I think the best scene was the scene between a guy & a kid. Hope you know what scene I'm talking about.
showed he has a heart.
Wasn't a huge fan of him before that scene but I like him a hell of a lot more now.
Stannis is the man. Scene definitely made him more likable.
they'll probably whack him.
Gotta admit, I teared up a little.
L + R = J

This episode more than convinced me that the L + R = J theory is true.

You were in doubt before this episode?
Personally I keep rooting against it because I hate the idea of secret Targaryens (the Aerys at Joanna's bedding theory is much worse though, for the record) and destined saviors and prophecy in general. Because that shit is the dumbest stuff in fantasy and usually the series intentionally lampoons dumb stuff in fantasy. And usually when it does so, the person in question is a Stark: Arya the warrior princess, Ned the honorable Lord, Robb the heroic prince, Sansa the fairy tale princess, etc.
So maybe he was a secret Targaryen and he is actually dead. Which would make me laugh and laugh.
Ok, seriously? R+L=J is enough for a clever person to get spoiled on, but this basically gives it away. What don't people get about not posting spoilers?
To be fair, I don't think that that is a spoiler since it hasn't been written yet, it's a popular theory but no one can really spoil something that hasn't been explained to begin with, I guess the fair thing to do is let everyone reach that conclusion eventually.... who knows, GRRM could give us all the middle finger and wrap up the books with him finally coming out of a 30 year lasting trip on acid...
There is DEFINITELY some words in there that he says that mentions the end of Book 5. Definitely a spoiler. Fuck that guy.
It's a spoiler. Either you haven't read the books, or you just aren't paying attention.
Seeing that two book characters currently alive were just killed off... I think it is ok to not trust the show runners and GRR

Barristan the Bold is a badass.
The preview of next episode looked so good!

I just noticed it is the Hound and Arya with "Fuck the King!"
Damn shame. I loved Grey Worm
Not sure grey worm is dead. Barristan Selmy, on the other hand, is gone

But the whole big final shot was of Grey Worm "saving" Barristan from a killing blow. It would be contrary to the language of film if they made a big set piece culminating in a saving move only to start the next episode by explaining that it was a failed attempt.
The show features a lot of surprise deaths, but it has always followed established film techniques. I say Barristan is alive. He might not make it for long, but he will begin the next episode alive.
In the preview of next week's episode they show a funeral and it most certainly looks like Barristan and not Grey Worm.
Yeah I'm sure he dies. He was stabbed and slashed a bunch of times. But I think he starts the next episode alive. Maybe gives Danaerys some last words of advice or whatever. If not, its just a really weirdly-made scene.
I'll say this without getting yelled at for (show) spoilers as best I can: If you want to know whether or not he's still on the show you can read this SHOW SPOILER: Show Spoiler Link to info on Selmy (EW Article)
I love how they put SPOILERS as the first thing in the article, but the URL gives the spoiler away.
Well, yea, but he also killed the last assailant who would have probably killed him after killing Selmy, i.e. Grey Worm becomes the last man standing rather than a Harpy.
I'm pretty sure that Grey Worm is alive. D&D have been setting something up between him and Missandei. It wouldn't make much sense to do that and then kill him off.
You realize you are talking about the same series where they killed off a lead character on his wedding night?
George Martin don't care about no romance.
This was 100% true in Season 3. D&D are showing a willigness to divert from some of GRRM's storylines now. I'm not saying Grey Worm is alive, but to say "D&D don't care because they killed off Robb Stark too!" is silly.
was offed at his uncle Ed's wedding, not his own. Joffrey bought the farm at his own wedding.
Grey Worm is a good r&b singer too. Goes by Raleigh Ritchie. Was listening to him for a couple month and I didn't even know he was Grey Worm until I went on Youtube to watch some of his videos.
Lots of good tidbits and it really does seem they are jumping around less and less and trying to give each scene more time to "breath" which I like.
This is me with that last scene
And if you ever come back, we'll kill ya!
Show Dorne is so butchered. And speaking of butchered...
I foresee a terrible end for Tommen.
You're an abomination!
amazing and the best show on tv
chickens have come home to roost.
The only question is who will be the exterminator. Their strength comes from Tommen's weakness. Remove him and they are done for.
I don't know. I've heard some interesting theories on who the Sparrow really is. If true, the dude most likely has an end game in mind and isn't what he seems.
I'm pretty sure I know the one you're talking about and while that would be cool, I'm not sure I buy it. There's a lot to support it, but there's a lot that would be inconsistent with how the world has been set up.
That said, it would be REALLY cool if true and would give a way to answer a lot of questions.
I think you're confusing High Sparrow with High Septon...
maybe
people are now just calling the High Septon, the High Sparrow.
