Ep 508 "Hardhome"

Winter is no longer coming. It's here with hundreds, if not thousands of white walkers and we get a preview of the war to come. Cersei is still rotting in a cell thanks to the High Sparrow. Every day a septa offers her water and asks her to confess, but Cersei will not give in. She tries everything including bribing the septa. None of it works. Qyeburn visits her and tells her that her uncle, Ser Kevan, is coming back to the capitol to serve as Hand of the King. She asks why her son has not visited her and Qyeburn tells Tommen is distraught over her and Margaery's incarceration and has locked himself in his chambers, rarely eating the food that is left for him. Qyeburn tells her the only way out may be to confess, but Cersei isn't that desperate yet. As he leaves he tells her his work is still continuing. I think that must have to do with his work on the Mountain and keeping him alive. Sansa wants to know why Theon told Ramsay she wanted to escape. He tells her Ramsay t

EP 507 "The Gift"

Two favorite moments from "The Gift": the look on Cersei's face as the High Sparrow has her arrested, and Tyrion Lannister and Danaerys Targaryen finally meeting and locking eyes. I would like to thank the Old Gods, the Seven, R'holler, the Many Faced God (and any other deities I may have forgotten in GOT cannon) for making this happen! Worst moment was Maester Aemon passing away and leaving one less noble man in Westeros. Plus I love most of the Targaryens so I was sad. We'll get to see how said events came to pass in a bit. In dusty Dorne Jaime sits in a lavish cell and is visited by Myrcella. He says he is there to take her home because she is no longer safe in Dorne, thanks to her  her mother and grandfather getting Oberyn killed last season. In the usual teen-agery tone, she tells him that she loves Tristane Martell and will not go back to Kings Landing, before storming out. Bronn is in one of the lower cells across from the Sand Snakes. He is singing a so

Ep 505 "Kill the Boy"

Word of Dany's rule in Mereen has come to the wall. Sam reads a letter to Maester Aemon in the library at Castle Black. It declares that she will stay in Mereen until she is sure the act slavery is abolished. I'm guessing the letter is from Varys from the way it sounds. Maester A is worried about Dany because it's rough being the last Targaryen in the world and he wishes he could be there to advise her, but Sam thinks she's awesome. Jon interrupts because he wants some advice from Maester A so Sam leaves them to it. Jon tells Maester A he is worried because there is a big decision he has made, but he knows it will be unpopular with most of the men. Without even hearing what it is Master A tells Jon he should follow his instincts and he should "kill the boy" (inside himself) because winter is almost upon them. After his visit with Maester A, Jon goes to see Tormund. He wants to know where the rest of the wildlings are hunkered down and he wonders if Tormund
