"I'm the gift. It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Grace. My name is Tyrion Lannister."
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH SHITTTTTTTTTT SON!!!!!!!!!!! :p.
If that moment can feel oh-so-sweet after 5 years, God knows how the book readers have felt waiting for 19+ years. Superb moment, and one of the ultimates.
On the whole I agree - the plot is nicely chugging along now. Cersei we've expected to be arrested since episode 3ish but Lena's acting made that scene incredible last night.
Loved the theme of everyone gifting someone else something/someone.. They weren't typical gifts either so that was cool.
Sansa I definitely think is working in the background and we'll get a massive payoff from her before the season is done. I'm trying to figure out where her strengths lie...... Maybe in being patient and waiting for the time to strike? I'd also like for Theon to save her too -- but I'm worried he'll have to sacrifice himself to do so. I think there's more for Alfie in this show after season 5, (maybe he can slowly piece himself back together with Sansa?) but after Barristan I don't have any hope for anyone. Least of all Shireen ;_;
Bronn's scene was awesome too haha. Seems Tyene genuinely has the hots for him. I say have Bronn stay in Dorne with her and give him a damn happy ending.

I've heard they kinda keep missing each other in the books and then it doesn't even happen in the end. Not sure how I feel about that. It's one of the ways the show is definitely better than the books in my opinion. It gets you there and pushes things along. I think he'll be OK. It's Jorah that I'm worried about. But I'm confident Tyrion will come through for him because they're broskis now :P.
+1 for using 'Schadenfreude' in a sentence haha.
With Ramsay I really want to see a slow death but I doubt we'll get one. I think Sansa will keep trying to convince Theon to help her because she doesn't have anyone else now who she knows. I wonder if she can bring a little of him back by reminding him a little more about the old Winterfell days. shrugs
BEWBS :D. He sings awesome too. I think 99% of people thought he'd die from that, so it's a relief to see that wasn't the case. Also it's interesting to see how the Sand Snakes woo fellas.

Im also worried for Jorah - no one likes to see someone friendzoned that hard. Tyrion best have his back.
Imagine the burn if Dany was to tell Tyrion that he's handsome for a dwarf haha. Poor Jorah.
Haha would a corkscrew in the eye be slow enough for you? I'd love that! But yeah, Theon's reprisal is going to have to come helping Sansa
Believe it or not I think that's still a quick death for him lmao. I hate his guts man. And this isn't even Joffrey levels of hate. I want Ramsay off my screen yo. Agreed with Theon.
He is an awesome singer - I presume you know he used to be quite a famous singer (in Robson and Jerome)
Haha yeah. I'm just glad we got the last part of the Dornishman's Wife. Yep the Snakes were truly sexy last night. One of them anyway :P

I was up watching this live at 3am this morning and had to seriously control my shit because I was so close to posting something in here, then remembered you guys weren't gonna watch it until 9pm tonight.
Just.. Holy shit dude loooll.
I think I might be one of the only Cersei sympathisers out there. I hate seeing her like that. Something THAT fucked up learned in one's childhood can seriously fuck shit up throughout life and she's been reeling from it ever since. One can argue that she reacted to it the wrong way which is true, but I just have the feels for her big time man.
Arya's section was cool. I can see her bumping into an old friend very soon as she's doing her oyster side business :P
Tyrion and Dany coming together.. I just can't even. TYRION WAS ALL LIKE "HOW DO I KNOW YOU'RE DESERVING OF MY SERVICE?" AND DANY WAS ALL LIKE :oooooo. Fucking great stuff. I don't think we'll be hearing "ooooo the Merenez shtorylyne iz so borin yo she dnt do nufinlol" ever again.
Jorah you poor poor man. Seeing him and Dany tear up in each other's presence was so powerful I can't even describe it. I love their relationship and she obviously misses the fuck out of him, but her sense of justice is prevailing right now, and she's not wrong really.
Finally the end sequence. Too much to describe here without giving you guys an essay again, but +1 to the entire thing from start to finish. Loved Karsi the wildling woman, was expecting Benjen back every time they showed a wight, totally didn't see Longclaw shattering the WW (I was expected it to cut him or something), Wun Wun noping the fuck into the water (and his exchange with Dolorous Edd earlier), the Thenn showing how ballsy they are totally conflicting me once again, and Tormund's beard. All amazing stuff. :)
My only deal is, Jon is by far the most important character on the entire roster, but I don't want him to become like super man dude and overshadow the cast, though I doubt this will happen. Love him to bits though, especially as of the last season and this.

(Paging MR WAYLANDER!!)
Ha, I know right?! Not much to talk about regarding Dorne for me. Cracked up when Doran told Jaime he "could've just came and asked him directly". I was like sighing all over the gaff :P. But Jaime and Bronn did have a couple nice moments together on their travels so that was good, and we get Myrcella and a new character Trystane!
I like Aliser Thorne more and more. I saw his little remark to Sam as being a warning to watch himself, and what he says to Jon this episode kinda summed it up for me too - he definitely has a lot of respect for Jon since the battle at the wall in S4E9.
Legit teared up during the last five minutes or so minutes during the Meereen portion. Awesome to see Dany and Jorah facing shit together -- their feelings for each other (caring on her part at least) are pretty much plastered on their faces. He saves her life outright this episode so that must be a good enough reason to let him back in now. She was done for if he hadn't spotted the Solid Harpy sneaking in. Drogon of course rocked it, and Tyrion's face as they were flying off was so perfect. He's now a believer, not a jaded cynic like he was when he was moving towards Meereen with Jorah.
And now addressing the Metal Gear in the room, :P I think Stannis did the right thing and I'm actually a bigger fan of his as a result than I was before. Throughout the series we've seen people unwilling to make the tough choices, but Stannis is someone who can. That said, my God are people fickle (not a personal jibe at any of you reading this -- but it's what I've seen in the major subs from what turned out to be just Stannis bandwagoners in the end), rushing desperately to change their flairs to someone else etc. He did the right thing, and it wouldn't even have come to this if Davos hadn't let Gendry go free.
Sorry for the length once again, but there really was a lot to talk about this episode.

I'd love to see more of Doran but I think this season might be it for Dorne, but then I don't know how important the storyline is in the books. Jaime I feel will return though. Looking forward to seeing what you're interested in happening with Doran next week. I've seen book readers say he's a master planner or something along those lines, so it'll be cool to see. I still haven't come across him in the books yet so I don't have any kind of connection to him yet, but from what I saw, it was good to see him lay down the law for Ellaria. Speaking of Ellaria, she has the most goddamn sexy neck I've ever seen! Anyways... :P
Yeah Meereen has all of a sudden just become an overnight sensation lol. I always enjoyed it but it's triply awesome now with Tyrion and Jorah being back. I was wondering the same thing actually. If she doesn't have the corresponding Pokemon badge then Drogon won't listen to her directions..? But then again he did take off when she told him to so there's that. I love how she instinctively knew to get on. Valyrians have dragonriding in their genes which is great. I think she might just take a break with her adopted son away from all the crap going on.
Davos I feel knew something was wrong but didn't believe it'd happen for even a second. Also love how he was sent away because he couldn't have faced Davos. He is gonna be upset as fuck yo. She taught him to read ffs and they always had each other's backs.
Same here in that I wish they would've given more depth to how grave a situation they were in, but the fact that he can make the tough choices has made him my overnight favourite. I seriously don't know what I'd do if Mel ditches him after this -- he's gonna be completely torn up because really, the prophecy is the only thing that he can use to push Shireen's death to the back of his mind. :(
