Robb_Warged Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Not sure if I should post this here or in the 5x10 forum Anyways, at the end of 5x09 when we got the 5x10 preview did anyone else just love the short shot of Tyrion, Jorah, and Daario sitting on the steps leading to Dany's throne? They look just utterly clueless and you have this awkward thing where two guys who love Dany seem like they may need to work together for her. Here's the scene - https://rickeyorg-rickeyllc.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Game-of-Thrones-Band.jpg The shot made me lol. I thought it was great. I don't know if it was intended to be humorous, but it made me smile. Tyrion is stuck between two guys who want to help Dany. One of the guys has never been with her, the other guy has taken her "every possible way a woman can be taken" or however it was said. Awkward lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffian Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Thank you! I had the same reaction. That snippet was hilarious and perfectly captured the impact of Dany's abrupt departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lord of Cinder Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I hope at least one of them asks: "So ... why exactly did she abandon us all when we were in great peril?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grandmaster Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 No doubt that (St.) Tyrion, the man who has been in Meereen for probably no more than a week, and has never been to Meereen or met a Meereenese person in his entire life before now, will take charge here, and succeed.

Prince of the North Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Yeah, that was definitely a "Well...now what do we do?" moment! But, don't worry. Tyrion's got it all under control :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigocell Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Great "mother" she is, straight abandoning her "children" in their moment of need. Miss Sunday seems to be missing from this picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Bronn Stokeworth Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I hope at least one of them asks: "So ... why exactly did she abandon us all when we were in great peril?" I was thinking more like "Well, it was nice that the Sons of the Harpy simply went home after Dany left. It would have been bad if they were interested in killing anyone in her inner circle besides Hizdarh zo Sansa." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been bad if they were interested in killing anyone in her inner circle besides Hizdarh zo Sansa." :lol: Yeah, and Jorah and Daario were probably grateful that those SotHs had this strange killing rule 'you can kill a woman in any possible way, but never ever throw a spear at her'. :D It reminds us that this is frickin' TV show after all, so don't take it religiously.

roxWolfox Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 My thought when I saw that scene was them working up the courage to go get the other two dragons (to hunt down Drogon or Dany). Pulling straws just wasn't cutting it for these guys. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure this song will be their hit single from that moody album. The lyrics are so fitting for them now, especially for Jorah. :lol: Damn, Jorah sure can sing, though. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they wouldn't have needed to put him there if they'd let Barristan play his proper role. Barristan as a ruler and Tyrion as a slave = two men in situations completely reversed from their normal circumstances, facing new situations that greatly challenge them and force them to adapt. In the way they've adapted the arcs, that richness is lost. There was no reason they couldn't have shown Tyrion struggling in slavery and had his escape come in episode ten, while Barristan rules in Dany's absence. The show chose not to depict these rich arcs. Instead, Tyrion's a slave for less than an episode before he's magically placed back in political power. It's unrealistic that Dany would trust him so easily; and dramatically undermines his development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have one fan favorite character start the season on a journey to meet another fan favorite character and than not have those two meet. Accelerating the meeting of Dany and Tyrion was one of the best decisions the showrunners made this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkash Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm surprised Grey Worm aint with them, unless he's standing further down or still in recovery bed. Anyway, I wish to see him in the episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
