Mr Smith Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 5 hours ago, Chloe.a.thomson said: Ive posted this elsewhere, but I will just reiterate that having avoided spoilers all year, I really enjoyed todays ep. Its nice not knowing where things will go, and not having an emotional reaction where a scene/person/plot point is not presented in the way I envisioned. Yeah sure some things don't make a great deal of sense, but I cut other TV shows slack in that regards, its only fair that I give GoT the same treatment. This is interesting to note. For me, this episode was very frustrating because a lot of what we got came from the trailers and sneak peeks, and yet some of the sneak peeks we got that I expected to come in this episode didn't, which was also very jarring. I'm glad to hear the episode flows more if it's all fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princess_snow Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Davos ! The scenes at the Wall were amazing and gave me chills. Mel was great too. That last reveal. I loved all the North story. I even enjoyed Dany's scenes with the Dothraki. Overall I liked the ep, was stunned about Dorne at first, not quite sure what to think of that story.

Dragon Pooper Scooper Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Really enjoyed seeing Dany handling her situation. Davos and Jon loyalists interactions (and Ghost) Arya is going to have a good season Sansa and Brienne finally coming together Cersei is spectacular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dorne Ultimatum Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Loved the whole episode - from start to finish - except the ridiculous Dorne sequence. The Sand Snakes can teleport now, seemingly. I just hope that's the end of that "subplot". It's like they Ctrl-Alt-Deleted the whole of the Dorne part of season 5. What a waste of Hotah and Doran.

Bastard of the Dreadfort Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 "Buried... Burned... This is good meat. Feed her to the hounds." lol, that is SO Ramsay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonSnowed Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I thought all the stuff in the North was excellent and what I expect to be pretty close to Winds of Winter material. It had tension, it had Davos performing a star role, the Brienne/Sansa/Theon stuff worked really well too. Ramsay/Roose is clearly setting something up for later in the season. Dany and the Dothraki was good too - even if the plot does not bother me very much at all. I also quite liked that Tyrion and Varys are focusing on who is behind the Sons of Harpy and I am keen to see where that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevasTra82 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Remember that theory that Mel is actually BR and Sheira Seastars daughter, and that the necklace she was wearing was causing a glamour to show her much younger then she really was? Well, it looks like that theory from ASOIAF very well may be correct. That was my biggest take-away from the episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of bastards are gonna rule Dorne now, after she's wacked the remaining Martells and finished Nymeria and Meria's lines? Ikr they've rly fcked up Dorne..

Not a kneeler Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 A really nice setup for the coming season. Loved the scenes in the north. Easy to see why they called the episode "The Red Woman." Also liked that tiny comic bit with Tyrion and the baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~DarkHorse~ Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Edd and Ghost getting more screen time. I'm happy that at least someone was sad/pissed about Jon being 'butchered.' I also loved his whole, 'I might die, but I am taking Thorne down with me' attitude. Anyway, Ben Crompton (Edd actor) deserves praise for his portrayal. His sorrow at seeing Jon dead added the emotion to the scene. I also liked the dry humour with Davos asking for mutton and the other guy lamenting at Edd being their only hope.

Leo de Salto Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 The Dothraki scene was quite nice. I think it reflects a lot of how they think and how their culture works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aniel Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Edd. I loved seeing his reaction to Jon being dead. I think a lot of the actors did well with their more emotional scenes. Iwan Rheon was great looking at Myranda. It's almost as if the character cared for her. And then he goes and tells the maester to feed her to the dogs. Also great. Cersei being so happy to have Myrcella back and then seeing the smile vanish as the boat comes in... Not to mention her mentioning the prophecy to Jaime, really believing it, and him looking at her like she's going crazy. The Dothraki I really liked. Daenerys looking at the riders with all that contempt/disgust and still not saying anything until she met the Khal. The Khal's face when he heard she is Drogo's widow. I also kind of liked the fact that Dany was confident in her dealings with him until he said she'd be brought to the Dosh Khaleen. She basically went "oh crap, I forgot that part..." Davos and his mutton too. I think he borrowed Sansa's courtesy armour. Melisandre and the mirror gets an A+. Especially as the nudity goes into fan disservice territory when the necklace comes off. I was honestly not expecting that. When I saw the mirror I knew something would change, but I thought it would be something more along the lines of scarring and burn marks.

At least they didn't put those stones on his eyes(I know that's a Faith thing, but anyway). I imagine it would take some effort to remain still while having stones on your eyes. But yeah, Kit plays a good corpse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
