HBO's Game of Thrones

Spoiler for dany:

I wonder how pissed whe will be at Tyrion.

I don't think she will be when she finds how much easier it is to rule without constantly dodging rogue arrows, spears, and scimitars!

[Paperback Writer]

huh? it seemed pretty well established that

Spoiler for dany:

dany will now lead the dothraki.

Spoiler for Khal Tyrion:

I wasn't serious. But just think of the all the hijinks viewers will miss out on with the mighty Dothraki being led by a dwarf who by his own admission is merely "middling" when it comes to riding a horse. Viewers will also miss out on the numerous philosophical conversations that Khal Tyrion can have with his Dothraki blood riders, "It is known!".

Spoiler for Brienne:

I'm just waiting for some Brienne and Tormund porn.

So how exactly did that fire spread across the dirt floor? Yes, I understand the show has dragons and a major character was brought back from the dead. Still, I find the idea of fire spreading across plain old a dirt as even more hard to believe.

My theory is that the Dosh khaleen/widow that Daenerys befriended had spread oil or whatever fuel is used in the torches all over the great hall.

I took it that the stand up lamps had what looked to be a couple "liters" of oil in them to keep the wicks burning.

I did find it interesting that roof timbers were falling in the first 30 seconds.

Uh. She and her two would-be rescuers set it up beforehand at her insistence instead of just sneaking out emptyhanded.

I don't want to belabor this anymore than I have, it's a stupid thing to get hung up on, but I'm just curious. Was the hut she burned down the same hut where all the widowed Khaleesies were hanging out? Otherwise, how did they get access to the hut?

I don't think so. I just think they knew that's where all the Khals would decide her fate later at some appointed time and they used their super sneaking skills to turn the place into a fireplace pal. I am going to watch the rescue scene again and figure out exactly what she says.

Dani: We'll never get out of vaes dothraki alive
Guys: All we can do is try
Dani: We can do more than that. And you're going to help me.

There you go.

Spoiler for spoiler:

My 18 year old laughed so hard at that scene saying "Tormund is soooo eye f*ing Brienne" between gasps for breath. It was easily the best part of the show for me.

Spoiler for spoiler:

Though her her jumping out of her seat and all over the room when Sansa arrived at the wall was a close second

I question how "super" any sneaking skills needed to be. I think the preparation for the "towering hut inferno" was an inside job with the accomplice of the newly befriended widow. They would have had to know which hut the Khals would be meeting in, it was the same hut where Dany ate the stallion heart back in season 1. So if the Khals were going to have a big pow-wow there, the hut would need to be prepped and cleaned and no male Dothraki would be involved. All it would take is for their new widow friend to volunteer for maid service prior to the Khal meeting.

Spoiler for Episode 5:

Hodor

[old_gregg]

now that opens up a can of worms

[clackamascoug]

How good was that ending? It was multi-dimensional in it's layering and complexity. It not only solved a series long question, it also blended the past into the future and the future into the past coming full circle to where the need was established 30 years before the event.

Two thumbs up!
