Game of Thrones S5 Finale

Uggg, even before the episode I am nervous.  UGGGGGGGGGG This is the end and there is so much story to tell.  Predictions: Something has to be resolved for Cersei, Dany has to get ready to move on Westeros, Jamie needs to leave Dorne, Sansa somehow takes a stand on the Boltons, and Arya shows how much of a badass she really is.  These are my predictions there are 4 minutes left until the episode begins. AHHHHHH

Credits, Seems like everyone is going to be in this episode....YAAAAAAYYYY
Fucking Melisandre I hope there is a special place in hell for her.  YAY Half of the men deserted Stannis right after he burned his own daughter at the stake.  WOO HOO!  WOO HOO I told you so!!!!!!!  He sees his wife, Selyse, hung herself in the woods.  Then we hear Melisandre took a horse and rode off into the woods.  Stannis decides he and what is left of his army (about a quarter of what left Castle Black) will still march on Winterfell.  Without so many of their men, they get slaughtered.  While waiting in the forrest above Winterfell, Brienne comes upon an injured Stannis.  Stannis is still alive in the wood and Brienne asks him if he killed Renley with blood magic.  Stannis acknowledges that he did did kill his brother and Brienne says it is her duty to put him to the death.  We see her swing the sword but then there is a cut scene.  We do not know for sure if she did it or not. WOOO FRACKING HOOOOO!!!!!!!

Now there are theories all over the place in if Stannis is alive or if he is dead.  I can see both sides.  Brienne LOVED Renley so killing Stannis would be justice and even a bit of vengeance.  BUT, Brienne is loyal to Catelyn and trying to protect Sansa.  Stannis is a good military tactician and is enemy of the Boltons who currently hold Sansa hostage.  The enemy of my enemy is my friend.  There have been moments of great forethought on the part of Brienne but mostly she is a woman of action not thought.  Since her story differs GREATLY from the books, I am not sure where they are taking her.

Jon and Sam are talking and Sam asks to go to Old Town to become a Maester.  Jon reluctantly agrees to let him go and train.  We see Sam, Gilly and Baby Sam leave for Old Town.

Sansa uses the corkscrew (?) to pick her lock.  She sneaks across the yard to the broken tower where she lights the candle for Brienne.  At this time Brienne is watching the Boltons march upon Stannis.  Sansa sees this from the tower and decides it is time for her escape.  She is stopped by Ramsay's girlfriend, Myranda and Reek.  Myranda tries to torment Sansa.  Sansa for once stands her ground and says if she is going to die she would rather die while there is still some of her left.  WOO HOO Sansa.  Myranda torments her more and then sees Ramsay come back.  Reek picks up Myranda and throws her over the rampart.  SPLAT.  Her brains are leaking everywhere.

~~~~~~~~~~~ SIDENOTE- see, you see Myranda die, you see her brains splattered everywhere.  Dead, she is DEAD.  Now there is still question over several other people in this story as you do not actually see them dead.  Just think about it, The Hound, The Mountain, Stannis just to name a few. ~~~~~~~~~~~

Theon then grabs Sansa's hand and they go running.  They decide to jump off of the side of the castle-into a snow drift - I hope- and that is the end of Theon and Sansa.

We go back to the brothel in Bravos where Meryn Trant is beating three young girls with a switch.  The first two let out a wail and the third does not make a sound.  He beats the third one a couple of times and then dismisses the other two.  The third one then takes out a small knife and stabs him repeatedly.  She takes off her face and it is Arya.  She goes on stabbing him in the eyes, belly, back and face before disclosing who she is.  She then slits his throat.  WOO HOO.  This is the first person on her list that she has actually killed herself.  There have been others that have died at the hands of others (Joffrey) and there are those that are questionably dead (the Hound).  WTG ARYA!  Arya then returns the face to the House of Black and White and is met by the other girl who helps her wash bodies and Jaqen H'ghar who tell her she has stolen a death from the many faced god and then Jaqen drinks poison.  Arya freaks and cries and the girl asks her why she cries and Arya tells her that Jaqen was her friend and the girl laughs and her face changes into Jaqen.  Arya then rips the faces off of the corpse until she comes across her own.  Jaqen tells her since she was not ready, the face she took from the many faced god is poison to her.  Arya then states she can not see and shows her eyes go to all white.  AHHHHHHH!

We are off to Dorne.  Jamie and Myrcella are setting off on their journey to King's Landing.  They have a departing posse of Prince Doran, Ellaria and the Sand Snakes.  Ellaria kisses Myrcella on the lips and tells Myrcella she hopes Myrcella has a long and happy life.  We get on the boat and Jamie awkwardly tries to tell Myrcella that he loves her and that he is her father.  Myrcella tells Jamie that she knows Jamie is her father and that she is glad.  AWWWW something happy in the final episode.  NOT! Myrcella then gets a nosebleed and faints.  Ellaria and the Snakes are on the dock and Ellaria gets a nosebleed and then wipes her nose and then her lipstick off and takes the antidote bead off of her necklace and drinks it.  Meanwhile the ship is out to sea.  HA HA HA this is how Joffrey died too.  WTG Cersei, get both of your kids killed by the same poison.  LOLOLOL

Is Myrcella dead?  Will they find the antidote? Hmmmmmmmm... I have to say this, Poor Jamie.  He has had nothing but a pain in the ass since Cersei decided to kill Robert.  Hell maybe since he threw Bran out of a window.  Because Ned told Cersei he knew about the childrens' parentage, Cersei sent Jamie after Ned and then had to go to war-he got captured-was set free by Catelyn-was behanded-made it back to King's Landing where his beloved (Cersei) wanted nothing to do with him and sent him away-see nothing but one giant pain in the ass.

Meereen.  Grey worm and Missandei are on the move and come into the throne room (?) where Tyrion, Jorah, and Daario Naharis are.  They discuss what to do with the missing Dany and with Jorah, whom she exiled.  It is decided after much insult and argument that Jorah and Daario will leave to go find Dany.  Tyrion, Missandei and Grey Worm will stay to try and fix the problems in Meereen.  Since Missandei is Dany's confidant and Grey Worm is one of the people, they will help Tyrion be recognized by the people.  Tyrion will of course be the brains of the operation.  After the discussion Tyrion makes it out to the balcony where he is found by Varys.  YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY it is so good to have them back together.

Daenerys is on a mountain top with Drogon.  Drogon seems to have made a nest of bones for himself.  Dany is asking him if he is hurt and how far he took her.  She tries to climb onto Drogon's back to take her home to Meereen. Drogon promptly bucks her off.  I think he is still injured and tired from the battle.  Let him rest awhile.  She decides to wander down the mountain to the green hills.  DURRH why wander that far from your dragon?  She then hears a horse.  Suddenly she is surrounded by Dothraki.  She sees them coming and drops her ring to the ground.  Significant?  I assume so as they showed it.  AHHH HA I got it!  Drogon took her north to the great plains called the Dothraki Sea.  Dany kept telling Drogon he needed to take her home-to him, he was born from the burning of a Khal of the Dothraki in the Dothraki desert so this might be what he sees as home.  Well, we shall see what happens.

Cersei, Cersei, Cersei. Na Nah Nee Boo Boo.  You look like poo poo.  Cersei confesses to the High Sparrow that she slept with Lancell but denies she slept with Jamie.  She tries to blame it on Robert and the Sparrow will have none of it.  HA! The Sparrow tells her she will need to be put on trial.    He tells her she can return to the Red Keep after her atonement.  The maids cut off all of her hair and bathe her.  They take her outside and take her dress off and make her walk the long walk to the Red Keep to see Tommen.  During her walk you see lots of naked folks mocking her and calling her names.  The people of King's Landing do not really like her as they were throwing all sorts of things at her and screaming all forms of vulgarity.  Rather nice.  Finally Cersei makes it to the Red Keep to be greeted by Qyburn who brings her a cloak and introduces her to the newest member of the King's Guard who is a zillion feet tall.  The new guard has a very purple face and has taken a vow of silence.  Frankenstein's Mountain anyone?  Qyburn fixed-ish Gregor Clegane.  Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.  Honestly, letting Cersei go back to her seat of power was a mistake on the part of the High Sparrow.  From here, Cersei has her friends and those that are loyal-ish to her.  If she wanted, Cersei could flee King's Landing or find ways to be a bigger pain in the ass.  Who knows what she will do.  I am glad that she got humiliated though.  Still, this was NOT enough to pay for all of her misgivings.  Was this even enough punishment for killing Robert?  I think not.  Certainly it is not even close to enough for what she (and Joffrey) did to Ned and the rest of the Starks.

The end has come.  Melisandre comes to Castle Black where Davos is trying to persuade Jon Snow to send the Wildlings to fight with Stannis.  Jon says no.  Davos confronts Melisandre who looks very morose and she says nothing.  Jon is in his office when Olly comes running in telling him that a Wildling has recently seen Benjen Stark and Benjen is still alive.  Jon of course follows him outside to see.  He is greeted my Allister Thorne.  They take Jon to a sign labeled Traitor.  There are a group of 7 or so watchmen and they all stab Jon.  Olly is the last.  What a fucking pissant.  I can not wait until the white walkers eat your sorry ass piece of shit.  I hope the giant tears Allister Throrne limb from limb-VERY SLOWLY or even does the Ramsay Bolton-Reek thing with him.  Meanwhile Jon is laying in the snow bleeding out.

END OF SEASON 5.

Recap:  HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AWESOME!!! I can not believe it is over.  HOLY COW.......more, I need more.

Jon Snow... is he dead?   I think not.  Why else would have Melisandre come to Castle Black?  Certainly not for Davos, she knows he hates her.  Melisandre is not the only lover of the Lord of Light.  We have seen others bring people back from the dead.  Why not Jon?  Also, where the hell is Ghost?  I am sure Jon will be fine.  I am truly not worried at all.  Besides, if Bran can Warg, why not Jon?  Just sayin.

Sansa, did she and Theon survive the jump?  Hell, who knows, I would hope so but so far this is a giant story of "Shit on anyone named Stark" so it would not surprise me if they did not survive.

 Myrcella-I think she is going to die....need to keep Dorne relevant and HOPEFULLY piss of Jamie enough that he will take it out on Cersei. Besides, King's Landing at war with Dorne, WOO HOO.  More people against Cersei, the better.

Cersei, who really knows?  I hope she gets dysentery from all of the glack thrown at her.  I hope she dies a slow painful death, will that happen?  Hell no it will not.  I can not wait to see if there is more shit thrown at her though.  Metaphorically or not.

Dany- I think she is going to become friends with the new Dothraki and make a home, albeit temporary, in the Dothraki Sea.  I think Tyrion, Varys, Missandei, and Grey Worm will start rounding up  the Sons of the Harpy and send them to King's Landing HA HA HA.  Probably not, but I think they will bring a bit of order to Meereen before they leave.

Arya, I think she is going to get her sight back and be a big badass.  I hope she continues her training and finds her own ways to right the wrongs done to her and her family.

As for my predictions, I got 4 out of the 5 right, not too shabby.

OHHHH Season 5, you were a bit slow in the beginning.  I know the pieces had to move around the chessboard and all, I get it.  You have been great to us and I can not wait to see you again in 10 months.

Game of Thrones S5-E5, E6 and E7

After going on vacation I did not get to see the last three episodes on time.  During my time off, I thought I would try something a bit different.  I thought I would add more discussion rather than a just a recap.
In the last few episodes we have Daenerys messing up everything in Meereen.  Finally she made a few good yet somewhat questionable decisions.  She decided to allow the fighting to continue in the fighting pits...only with free men.  Then she decided to marry a citizen of Meereen.  LOLOL ok.  If she thinks that will work to help appease the people of this gawd awful town, then let her at it.

Jorah and Tyrion are traveling the long way to Meereen through old Valyria where they apparently put all of the people with grey scale.  Kind of like a leper colony.  Jorah contracts Grey Scale but hides it from Tyrion.  They are captured by slave traders who want to kill Tyrion for his penis.  Per legend, dwarf penis is lucky. This is hilarious to me.  The exchange the captors have with Tyrion while he tries to save his penis is beyond funny.   Tyrion states that they need to keep him alive to prove that the penis comes from a dwarf because he is well endowed.  LOLOL this is just great.  The captors decide to keep him alive.  Tyrion tells the captors of the combat prowess of Jorah and now they are both off to the fighting pits of Meereen.  I think the duo could be quite funny if the writers let them go at it, they would be even funnier. Even during stressful and dark scenes the banter of Tyrion can make anyone chuckle. Once in Meereen, Jorah and Tyrion come across Daenerys and Jorah tells her that he brought a present with him and Tyrion steps up and says, that he is the present.  Woo HOO, they have finally made it to Daenerys.  I do not know how this is going to play out.  I think that the combination of Tyrion and Daenerys has to be greatness because the Meereen story is past stale.  We need Tyrion to be back in a position where he can regularly use his gifts of tact and manipulation.

I do now know which duo I like better, Tyrion/Jorah or Jamie/Bronn.  Jamie and Bronn are off in Dorne looking for Jamie's daughter.  They are hilarious.  They walk right into the palace and try to take Myrcella.  She of course does not want to go and about that time, there are The Sand Snakes (the daughters of the dead Prince Oberyn Martell) and a battle takes place.  There is no winner because as the end comes so do the palace guards.  They take Bronn, Jamie and the Snakes into custody.  What is it with these Lannister men?  I love them both.  Both of them are witty and have moments of hilarity.  During the battle with the Snakes, Bronn was poisoned by one of the knives of the Sand Snakes.  Think of what took down the Mountain during the battle with Prince Oberyn.  The Mountain is still under the care of the new Maester in King's Landing and we do not know his status other than vegetable.  While in prison Bronn befriends one of the Sand Snakes she then gives him some of the anti-serum to save his life.  Interesting.  Thank goodness.  I thought they were killing off Bronn and I was about to be pissed off.  I love me some Bronn.

 Cersei the bitch is at it again.  This time her sights are set at they Tyrell Family.  She has already had Loris taken into custody via the High Sparrow,  Now she has her eyes on Margaery,  RAH She has Margaery testify in regards to Loris not being a homosexual.  The next to testify is the Gigalo that Loris has been boffing. He testifies that not only did Margaery know, she caught him and Loris going at it once and made him leave.  Since the High Sparrow is a righteous man and Margaery lied, he takes her into custody.  Tommen is upset and trusts his mother to take care of it and get Margaery out of jail.  Tommen is showing his age in that he trusts his mother and does not see the wicked witch that she is.  The next episode lady Olenna tries to convince Cersei to release Margaery and Cersei will have nothing to do with it.  In fact Cersei goes to the prison to Margaery to gloat.

 Lady Olenna has a meeting with the High Sparrow to try to save Margaery and of course it does nothing but to show that The High and Mighty asshat High Sparrow Is a total D-Bag.  The asshat Sparrow calls a meeting with Cersei and tells her all about Lancell and what secrets Lancell had to spill.  He then has Cersei thrown in a cell. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO! Cersei thinks that she is going to be able to get out of this.  After all, her son is the King.  HA, you empowered the monster.  Now, they come after you.  YIPPEE!!!! This is the beginning of the downfall of Cersei Lannister I have been waiting for this for 5 seasons.  Down with the Bitch of Westeros!

There are some bits with Jon Snow and the Knight's Watch.  He is going to free the wildlings and go north of the wall to recruit them to help in the upcoming war with the White Walkers.  He leaves the wall and it is right away that Sam and Gilly are accosted.  Maester Aemon dies and it if Jon does not get back soon the Watch will be no more and nothing but chaos.

Stanis and Mellisandre are marching on the Boltons and Winterfell but they are having a problem.  The snow is coming.  Their sell-swords are from the south and not used to these kind of winters and the cold.  They have abandoned Stanis.  Mellisandre states that they need royal blood.  It is at this time that she tells Stanis they have royal blood in Shereen.  He tries to tell her they could use leeches and she says NO!  Holy Shit Stanis, you can not possibly consider doing this.  NO WAY!  If you kill your own daughter you will loose the respect of everyone.  Is being King worth killing your daughter and loosing the respect of everyone?  Everyone in Westeros will hear the story and think you are CRAY CRAY for following this psycho God that made you kill your own daughter.  I hope to God that you get your head screwed on straight and do not do this.

There has not been a lot of Arya this season.  She is still in the house of Black and White.  She is learning to be No One and getting past who she was.  This is difficult for her.  She has been washing lots of corpses.  The most recent episode someone brings their very sick daughter in for help.  She tells them about the healing waters and the waters are actually poison.  This is a mercy killing and she then washes the little girls body.  This is when Jaqen H'ghar takes her to show her the basement and tells her she might not be able to be No One but she might be able to be someone else.  Yay, I am tired of watching her wash corpses.

Sansa is now married to Ramsay.  There has been a lot of hubub over what happens next.  While wholly unpleasant, for the time that this show was set in, it kind of makes sense and I am not really offended by it.  Besides, it is worse in the book.  It is their wedding night and Ramsay is ready for getting some nooky from his new wife.  He makes Reek stand in the room to watch as he forcibly takes Sansa from behind.  Not nice or kind in any way.  In my opinion, to get that bent out of shape s a bit ridiculous. I think Sansa being married to that tool sucks big time.  I really, really do.  I have never liked Sansa, I think she is a huge idiot but still no one should be treated this way, except maybe Cersei or Theon.  HAHAHA  Later on, Sansa shows her inner idiot again when she tells Theon that they are not alone.  She asks him to light the candle in the tower to signal Brienne for help.  DOH!  Now,  Sansa has been locked in her room all of the time and Ramsay comes to her every night for more nookie.  Not a pleasant existence at all.  I get what she was trying to do but shit, you have to test the waters before jumping in and breaking your neck.  Of course Reek runs to Ramsay and tells him all about Sansa and the plan for help.  Ramsay then tortures and flays the maid that told Sansa about Brienne.  Sansa, really, you do not trust the lackey traitor with your biggest ace up your sleeve on the first go around.  What an idiot?  REALLY!  What an idiot?  I thought she was getting better.  Every time I think that, she then does something really stupid again.  She needed to work on Reek before telling him your one secret.  With the previews for next week, she tries in on Reek again.  We shall see.
The most recent episode there was a lot of action.  Until that point this season has been moving the players to where they need to be on the chess board.  I am happy for all of the action.  Mostly I am happy that Tyrion made it to Meereen and he will be able to begin his journey advising Daenerys.
