The next episode of Game of Thrones Season 5 brings us Arya Stark, Dorne, and a beheading!
We discuss it all…
They really grow up so fast, dont they?
Now, other characters (and shifting changes to the books narrative) are bending the knee totheirwills.
And if it is as strong as tonights episode tended to be, Ill also take the knee.
But apparently one diversion, above all else, they pay tribute to.
But Arya is no longer the scarled little girl who fled Kings Landing once upon a time.
Indeed, Nothings worth anything to dead men is the line of the night.
I love Arya becoming an assassin, because it is not what I want to happen.
I wish she did get that ship up to the Wall and was reunited with Jon Snow.
Indeed, she feels like homeward bound.
Granted, George R.R.
But the difference is Catelyn was notlookingfor Tyrion during that unintended run-in.
I am not entirely certain that Sansa made the wrong choice in this instance.
Whatever the case might be, Sansa is making her own decisions for herself.
In season five, theyre including horse chases like its just a part of any other episode.
Other small ones whose influence we feel without ever even seeing them are the Sand Snakes.
And theyre all for blood after the Mountain turned their papas skull into a Gallagher punch line.
They are also backing Ellaria Sand.
Personally, I am very pleased that they have brought Ellaria back in such a major way.
The Martells are the only family (thanks to their desert stronghold) that the Targaryens could never break.
Hence holding the distinction of still using titles like prince and country.
with the young girls necklace in its mouth.
So, when confronted with a genuine threat to her family, she truly goes ballisticand is curiously helpless.
And he is bringing along Bronn.
This is news worth celebrating!
Betrayal has its perks since he is only one sister-in-law murder away from being a real lord.
You know what I think?
I think youre a good person, and your sisters a mean person.
Ive been all over the world, and if theres one thing Ive learned, its meanness comes around.
People like your sister always get whats coming to them.
One way or another… And ever since Joffrey died, the snarky witticisms have long been absent from both Jaime and Tyrion.
My only hope is that Bronn brings such dripping disdain out of Jaime on their road trip together.
It certainly could offset any earnestness at the Wall.
Such earnestness after all is what keeps Jon Snow away from Stannis amazing offer.
The entire saga stood at a massive crossroads when Jon Snow got the offer to become Jon Stark.
But alas, Jon is his fathers son (biological or not).
This is a crucial scene for several reasons.
Thus, Jon Snows rejection of Stannis and Winterfell is not in total vain.
Jon has the Wall, but he does not have a majority of support or trust for it.
Far to the east, many other children are growing up too.
But Danys reaction was still ill-advised.
On that day, Robb Stark lost much of his love and became the King who lost the North.
This is encompassed by a fitting final moment when Drogon returns to her all grown up.
She attempts to pet the golden child, the apple of her eye, and he flies off.
The insulated ruling class of characters better learn that about their children, blood-related or otherwise.
Even Daenerys Targaryen, alone on her balcony.
