GOT Episode 5

[ironbaby]

What did you think??

Please put anything not contained in the show in spoilers.

[adorebel]

That ending tho. Jorah has greyscale? Also, can someone please just kill or maim Ramsey, preferably Sansa or Brienne?

[ironbaby]

I like all the whisperings around Sansa. I was worried she wouldn't get a chance to realize who Ramsey really was before she married him, so I am glad his dark side is coming out. He was super creepy before when he was all smiles and politeness. Reek will be interesting to watch going forward.

Dany is stepping back in to her strong leadership role and I like it.

There was definitely not enough fanfare over Selmy's death. But I am so happy Grey Worm is alive and totally in love.

Stannis annoys me most of the time, but he is doing the right thing in the end. I hope it works.

And then, there's Jon Snow. He's a badass. That is all.

If Ramsey doesn't have some hardcore torture coming his way, I'll be pissed. However, no one is horrible enough to do what he has done.

[mosdub]

Going to work, so post and run but--- ABOUT TIME GREY WORM GOT SOME CUDDLES.

[goldenlove3]

Ramsey is just creepy. I loved the smirk on Sansa's face when his dad was putting him in his place. I really want to know if Reek is going to tell Sansa that he didn't really kill her brothers.

I liked that Dany is getting tough again and using her dragons. I don't get why she's going to marry that dude though.

Everything seems to be moving so slow to me. It's like a lot is going on but nothing is really happening at the same time.

[mill23]

How will they handle Jorah and the greyscale? I'm hoping Stanis has a cure for it - or Dany figures it out - but doesn't it move very quickly? How will they handle that if they are walking the whole way?

I have mixed feelings about Stanis too. He is way better than the Greyjoy's but I really don't like him anyway. He's the best of the horrible I guess. I hope he makes it to Sansa before the wedding, and can someone just murder Ramsey already? Kthnx.

I'm glad Dany was using the dragons a bit more - but I don't get the marriage either. Still don't trust that dude.

(Sorry if the spelling of names is off, I've never read the books so I'm basically just spelling them phonetically)

[mynameiscarrie]

Still not stoked on Dany. She's getting better, but it'll take a lot for me to like her like I did at the beginning.

+1 to murdering Ramsey in a terrible way. He is awful.

+1 to being glad Grey Worm is alive and cuddling.

And +1 to wondering what they're doing to do with Jorah having greyscale.

Not the best episode. Lot's of setting up for future episodes. I give it a C.

I started reading that yesterday but never finished. I'm going to read it now.

ETA: This is pretty much L+R=J theory. BTW there is another huge spoiler in that article that I'm mad I just read. My fault because they said it was a big book spoiler but I read it anyway.

Vanity fair also had a similar article last night... I'm a buyer of this!!

[rablissful]

Thanks for starting ironbaby!

This episode is turning the show back towards the books so I was happy with it.... even if I'm still pissed as fuck they have killed Barristan off.

Yay for Grey Worm getting cuddles! My SO hates that whole plotline with him and Missendei

SPOILER: Click to show

(since, you know, she is wayyyy younger in the books)

but I think it's nice to see their innocence together. They deserve to be happy after what they've been through.

I'm so happy Dany is turning into a badass again.

I hope Reek tells Sansa the truth... and I hope they plot together to kill the fuck out of Ramsey because he's the biggest of assholes. I feel so bad for her... let's get engaged to (minus Tyrion... but he is way too old for her).

I was sooooo happy that Jorah and Tyrion went through Valyria. It moves Tyrion back on track for the books (even if it was with the wrong person)

Spoiler on Jorah

SPOILER: Click to show

He had grayscale in the books I believe, it moves slowly

I'm interested to see what they do up at The Wall. That story line seems most on track to me. to Jon.

I don't think Jon Snow will die. He is definitely R + L = J after that episode which pretty much proves it. GRRM has said one fan theory is true, and I'm betting it's this one since there is just too much evidence for this theory for it to NOT be true. It is thought that he will be resurrected in the ice of the wall, like Dany in the fire (hence fire and ice), probably by Melisandre. It has never made sense that Stannis is the "chosen one" and it makes sense that Melisandre is paying more attention to Jon while she is figuring everything out.

Thanks for adding the warning!!! I will now not open the link.

[LadyNymeria]

I liked the episode. Granted there really hasn't been a single one I've ever disliked through the 4 1/2 seasons. I'm sure it helps that I'm reading after watching.

Yay for Dany finding some of her badass self again. Daario is not going to be happy about this wedding though!

As for Jorah's greyscale -

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}My neighbor said he has it in the books but it moves more slowly. So giving it to him wasn't something the show made up.

I knew he got touched though. The way he looked at Tyrion when they asked each other if they had gotten touched.

I'm starting to really like Stannis all of a sudden. Especially after seeing him be affectionate with his daughter last week. His bitch of a wife on the other hand could go rot in hell for all I care. I really don't like her.

I really need Ramsay to get what's coming to him. He's a creepy freak and I want him to suffer. Loved that smirk on Sansa's face at the dinner table.

And as always, I love Jon Snow. I love that he's already stepping up as a leader and making the difficult decisions.

I enjoyed the episode and thought it was very exciting!

SPOILER: Click to show

{Book Content Spoiler}It looks like they are giving Jon Connington's storyline to Jorah though, as he is the one who actually had greyscale. That makes sense since they seem to be removing the Young Griff segment that was in the books.

Crap- forgot it was him that had it not Jorah

+1 for wanting Sansa to kill Ramsey. 

[ceejay]

I don't have much new to add since you guys already covered most of the high/low points.

I agree that it's great to see Dany becoming more of a bad ass again, but it's too bad that one of her closest friends/advisers had to die for her to see the errors in her ways.

It will be interesting to see how the Ramsay, Sansa, and Reek story line plays out... I hope that Reek will be able to break out of his current mental state to tell Sansa the truth and help her take down Ramsay.

And the Grey Worm cuddling scene was adorable. I'm glad that he is alive and could find some happiness.

[ceejay]

Oh and I have a question... is greyscale similar at all to what Stannis' daughter has on her face? Obviously not the exact same thing, since she's not crazy like the men that attacked Jorah and Tyrion, but the two "conditions" looked similar to me.

I'm pretty sure it's the same thing. Stannis explained in a previous episode that he refused to send his daughter away and they found a way to stop it from spreading. That was the story he told her last week or the week before.

It is exactly the same thing. Stannis just found someone who could stop it so she wouldn't go all bonkers.

I haven't watched yet, but I couldn't help myself... I had to see if the dragons made an appearance.

Thanks goldenlove3 and rablissful! I forgot about that story from Stannis. So hopefully Jorah can also find a way to stop it from spreading?!

[shadesofgold]

I haven't read the books so I have no idea what is coming. I am so eager to see if Sansa can pull off a con or murder on the Boltons. She deserves to finally get her revenge. I actually hope Stanis doesn't get to her too quickly so she gets the chance to do it on her own rather than being saved by someone else.

Speaking of women taking control, the Margery vs. Circe power battle is one of my favorite storylines right now. I can't decide if I secretly want Circe to get her throne back.

Jorah is screwed. He doesn't have the power or friends to get a cure to the greyscale like Stanis did. I just hope Tyrion can get away before it's too late. He needs to get his life together and take control of the situation. Pathetic Tyrion is no fun at all.

A+ gif. Basically my reaction last night.

I am glad the next episode will have Arya and the Queen of Thorns.

When are they going to show how Brand is doing?

Bran is not in Season 5 at all. There were some articles before the season started saying the show had already caught up with Bran's storyline in the books so they're leaving him out of Season 5.

I heard that too about Bran. What about Rickon and Osha? Will we ever see them again... in this season or the next?
