Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon!

[chionos]

As simple as it was, I think this was my favorite episode from this season. There was some superb acting, especially from Pryce.

Anyone notice this shot?

That's Olenna at the Crone's point in the star, which means that the Sparrow is The Stranger.

Which, in light of Cersei's references to that aspect in particular (especially in the books), is pretty friggin' ironic and beautiful.

"Before I am done with [Sansa], I promise you, she will be singing to the Stranger, begging for his kiss." ~ Cersei.

Who's singing now, little bird?

Side note: Is it just me, or have the fight scenes been pretty terrible this season?

Pretty pleased with the progression in that episode. Thought they had killed off Bronn for a second. So relieved when he survived. Really glad Dany has finally landed a new quality advisor in Tyrion, it's about time he made it there. And finally, yeah, if they touch Shireen they can go die in a fi-- er, maybe wrong choice of words.

I'm getting a little tired of all these different story arcs. I think they should dedicate the entire next episode to Bran.

The scene where Pryce chucks Cersei in prison I think was my favourite scene in this entire season. That and boobs.

[Mirage]

Probably the most pleasurable episode in this season. Even the horrific development for Sansa was made up for when I finally got to see Cersei get (hopefully) completely smurfed.

[Rantz]

Cool find, chionos!

Awesome episode in many ways. Maaaan they don't get to touch Shireen or I'll go white walker on their asses.

Kings Landing has been the best part of this season so far, I think. trout's going down.

While I agree with Psychotic about the Sand Snakes finally showing a little bit of personality, that quantity of boob shots was ridiculous, even for Game of Thrones. Soon they'll start doing split screen shots so they can show non-stop boobage even when they have to show other things. Bleh.

Not loving the fact that the only way the saw to get Sam and Gilly together was by having someone attempt to rape her, and Sam stick up for her.

You noticed that too, eh? For a minute there I thought she was going to get raped and Sam would be forced to watch. Glad that didn't happen. Since, you know, that would've made it even more repetitive.

BUT YEAH MELISSA YOU BITCH IF YOU BURN SHIREEN I SWEAR TO R'HLLOR

I ALSO SWEAR TO R'HILLOR! I WILL RIP YOUR HEART OUT FROM YOUR CHEST AND MAKE YOU WATCH ME EAT IT!

RAWR!

Oh my god this show is so good right now. Cersei's incompetence and hubris is coming back to bite her, Mel showing just how insane she is, the Sand Sneks trolling poor Bronn (oh my god we know you were in a doo-wop band Jerome Flynn you don't need to show us every episode but, then again, please do because dat voice), TYRION AND SER FRIENDZONE MEETING DANY (Though I don't know why he didn't just shout "We're still slaves!" through the bars), and Sam getting some. Was glad that was just an attempted rape.

Sansa kept a hold of that screwdriver thing, right? I'm hoping she just drives it straight into Ramsey's neck that night and was just biding her time in case the guards or something interfered.

A "mash up" of Bronn singing The Dornishman's Wife.

With the two audio clips together, the song is complete~

[escobert]

I almost started yelling at the TV when Bronn started bleeding out of the nose!

[Del Murder]

Best episode of the season by far. Finally things are picking up.

[Night Fury]

Just gonna share my facebook update...

Really hoping that whatever that sharp thing was that Sansa Stark picked up off the barrel will be taking a nice journey into Ramsey's arse pretty soon. Plz make it so GoT.

Also, it won't be Mellisandre who makes the call for Shireen to be killed, it'll be Stannis. I feel like he was thinking about it.

[Ergroilnin]

Am I the only one who's kinda suspecting that whatever Bronn drank isn't necessarily antidote? I mean it could be tons of other things who knows. Heck that poison he got struck with may've only been something to make him weak and the stuff in the amulet was an actual poison.

This is GoT we're talking about so I am kind of sceptic that they would heal him just because he told her she has the nicest boobies evar.

Hopefully I am wrong though since Bronn is love, Bronn is life.

Other than that I am super hyped for Tyrion and Dany's storyline meeting, seriously that's ought to be great.

Not to mention Cersei finally getting the short end of the stick and Sam getting some.

Yeah definitely top episode of the season.

[Bubba]

Oh god don't burn Shireen

BUT YEAH MELISSA YOU BITCH IF YOU BURN SHIREEN I SWEAR TO R'HLLOR

And finally, yeah, if they touch Shireen they can go die in a fi-- er, maybe wrong choice of words.

Maaaan they don't get to touch Shireen or I'll go white walker on their asses.

I ALSO SWEAR TO R'HILLOR! I WILL RIP YOUR HEART OUT FROM YOUR CHEST AND MAKE YOU WATCH ME EAT IT!

RAWR!

Also, it won't be Mellisandre who makes the call for Shireen to be killed, it'll be Stannis. I feel like he was thinking about it.

Am I the only one is not even slightly arsed if they burn Shireen to a crisp? I find her character pretty dull to be honest. She had the nice scene with Stannis which obviously means they are gonna brutally murder her. If that just happens to be by setting fire to her then pass me the marshmallows!

Pretty interesting chart I just saw on Wikipedia.

I don't think I can take that graph seriously in any way. I don't know of anyone who thinks that episodes 1, 3, 4 and 5 were some blessing from the TV Gods that no person can ever do without. Unless that's for a different season.

EDIT: Did a little research, found it's based on Rotten Tomatoes. When looking at, for example, episode 5 in detail, I find it has a 100% on the "Tomatometer" despite the average rating of the episode being 8.1/10. This is why I never liked Rotten Tomatoes. Their rating system is really weird.
