Cut from the episode:
I'm guessing that both Jorah and Melisandre are headed to Oldtown. Jorah needs some ideas on how to cure his ailment, and Melisandre probably just wants to go somewhere quiet and out of the way. Then they can start working with Sam on fighting the White Walkers, and maybe Melisandre can do something about Jorah's…
Right. Robert already knew he had illegitimate kids practically everywhere. Why would he go out of his way to kill this one?
Yeah, if the baby doesn't turn out to be Jon, then they really cheated with the cut from the baby's face to Jon's. I don't think they would do that. There's such a thing as surprising the viewer, and there's such a thing as using dishonest visual trickery.
I doubt it. The showrunner have said that they try to avoid flashbacks (Bran's visions being an exception). They think it's lazy storytelling.
My interpretation is that she did not INTEND to kill her son. But after he died, she was so numb to all the death surrounding her that she basically shrugged it off: Oh well, I was really in charge anyway.
Gendry is currently serving as High Lord Commander of the McDonalds two blocks down from the Faceless HQ in Braavos.
Clinton needs to wear that black dress at her inauguration.
Glad you noted the music. The light piano score for the early scenes was just perfect.
After serving Walder the pie, I wanted so much to hear Arya say: "Let me taste your tears, Walder! Your sweet, yummy tears!"
Sam has my dream job.
I was blown away, too, but not so much by the explosions—although that part certainly was stunning. It was that they managed to wrap up so many storylines and dispatch so many characters, while keeping the intrigue factor firmly in place—strengthened, in fact.
Tommen's not likely a Baratheon anyway, at least not biologically.
Oooh, good point. I have a problem with fantasy shows/movies resurrecting too many characters (i.e.: Pirates of the Caribbean), so that would be a plus in my book.
I'm not up to snuff on my GoT geography. But a lot of characters seem to move around pretty quickly. How long did it take the Greyjoy kids to reach Dany?
I think it depends on what exactly Margery is plotting. If she has a plan to take down the Sparrow and is willing to let Tommen go down with them, then Cersei could off her before she does that. Or Margery could have too much confidence in her plan, and end up being offed by the High Sparrow after all.
It would also up the suspense factor if Jon and company didn't have a priestess/wizardress/whatever to watch out for them, at least for awhile.
It's just too soon for Cersei to go. She has a lot of story left, I think.
One bad sign for her: There are other Red Women out there, including one who was introduced this season as part of Dany's storyline (I think—I might have it mixed up.) So if they need another one, they can find one.
They need to clean house in King's Landing: The High Sparrow, Septa Unella, Lancel, Loras, Kevan will bite the dust.
