Daenerys receives an unexpected visitor
The Red Woman maybe?
I wasn’t sure by any means, but by looking at the “orphaned” characters of late ... (Sandor, Aria, red woman, etc) she seemed most plausible. I agree that after seeing Jon resurrected she would probably have decided he was her prophecy. I guess she got more info off-screen.How did you know?
I mean these men has sailed and fought side by side for a long time, and it's in everyone's mind that two half are now enemies.
I believe Varys showed of possessing a great pair of balls to being able to confront the Queen of Dragon's in the way he did. He even smiled and admitted that roasting in the dragon fire, would be the only way he would depart from the world.
Why Sam didn't offer him the milk of poppy?
First let me say Yeah Nymeria!!! I think the reason the scene with Nymeria went as it did is because: Early on either Ned or Cat (can't remember which) told Arya she needed to act like a lady, she replied simply "That's not me." So here is Arya asking Nymeria " Come with me, come home with me." Nymeria is (to quote my son) like "Naw, b***h, I'm nobodies pet." So Arya simply says, "That's not you." But you can bet Nymeria will never again be too far away if Arya needs her!Hot Pie fulfiled his role was to bring Arya back home. Her conversation + running across Nymeria whom promtly leaves her again, and Arya saying something along the line of that wasn't her leaves me thinking they wanted to point out Arya is no longer the northern girl we used to know but something else. At least that is what I'm thinking they trying to show. Maybe they wanted to show you can't just pick back up what you left behind/chased away. Any other thoughts? Cause honestly, whilst you may no longer be the same person you once were, you can also never be someone else than yourself. So Arya is still Arya from house Stark and it felt a bit contradictive to her choosing family over revenge just moments earlier. I guess they can work side by side.
where is the Dothraki horde? and who's feeding them? surely they can't all squeeze onto dragonstone.
Iron FleetAt the beginning of the voyage to the Slaver's Bay, the Iron fleet consists of 93 ships. Nearly half of them are lost on the way, but Victarion does not despair. The remaining fleet continues, capturing several cogs and galleys along the way. By the time the fleet reaches Meereen, it consists of 61 ships.
https://www.quora.com/Why-are-there...-to-protect-Daenerys-in-Game-of-Thrones-S5-E9There are 8000 Unsullied. No they haven't been slaughtered en masse by the Sons of The Harpy. The best explanation is, once Dany negotiated the "truce" with the Sons of The Harpy, she became lax about her security.
hilst GreyWorm showed he really doesn't have any (although it was my understanding that the loss of such 'equipment' impedes the sex drive of a person, although maybe I'm misinformed.
to be honest i was a little underwhelmed by this episode. i didn't mind the first being a little slow as they set things up, but expected more action from this one. i thought some of the slow scenes could have been cut (in part or entirely) to give more action. considering we are now a quarter of the way through this season, i would have thought we'd be further along regarding the story.
i did enjoy arya's scenes as she moved from hardcore assassin to young stark girl with hotpie. good to see sam getting some stones too. and the last scene was great even if, as mentioned, above, the stealth of a fleet of 1000 ships was a little unrealistic. classic, brutal GOT.
and another thing, where is the Dothraki horde? and who's feeding them? surely they can't all squeeze onto dragonstone.
The books can get away with this sort of thing, as single chapters can often cover quite long periods of time (although they don't always do so). The expectation in a TV show is that, unless there's a caption saying "48 hours earlier" (or some sort of hint that a flashback is being shown), there is at least some sort of temporal relationship between the scenes and that, specifically, they're not whole weeks or months separated in time.One of the things that I had a hard time getting my head around was the geography and the timelines for things happening.
here is a question for you.
How did you know? I thought she would have stayed at the Wall, thinking about how badly she can ef up King of the North, if she meddles in the business. The Red Woman is only lucky the Lord of Light heard her prayers and she should be grateful for that rather than running South to Dragonstone.
The whole invoking the prophesy felt so deliberately placed that I thought for a moment she's back in the throne business. It would have been proper to see Stanis' ghost dwelling at the background; chained to her until the end of days. In her shoes I would have warned Deanery's about staying in the Dragonstone as that island is far easier to siege than King's Landing.
With the Iron Fleet in bits I don't think they can muster enough of men to hold the original plan. Queen Cercei got unbelievably lucky and whole fleet action felt like a giant conspiracy. Would it even be possibly to sail into the heart of the fleet "of biggest and the best ships" without alerting everyone? I mean these men has sailed and fought side by side for a long time, and it's in everyone's mind that two half are now enemies.
When those fire bolts started raining in, the raiders were already within the fleet. As if someone had let it happe and that seems impossible. And I know they don't have radars, but it's pretty difficult to get into a big blob without clashing with the outer perimeter first. You have to have submarines to be able to do that without getting a crash, but those are in a very limited supply at that world.
I believe they exist somewhere and possibly resemble diving balls/bells rather than the traditional shapes. Still I guess Dornish had it coming for the past deeds. Those three sisters didn't last long in the hands of raiders. Although I believe that Greyjoy marauder mortally wounded at femoral artery. He just was too pissed to realise how dead he were when he grabbed Yara and forced Theon to bail over the board.
To be honest it was a wise move from his behalf even though it branded him as a coward. Speaking of those things I believe Varys showed of possessing a great pair of balls to being able to confront the Queen of Dragon's in the way he did. He even smiled and admitted that roasting in the dragon fire, would be the only way he would depart from the world.
I hope Karma wasn't listening as I cannot imagine any more horrifying way to die. It would be horribly painful. More so than what Mormont suffered in Samwell's hands. A flask of rum isn't a proper painkiller. Especially not when half of it has gone into the doctor already. But as always the knight without the queen or the country took it without even losing his consciousness.
Why Sam didn't offer him the milk of poppy?
But I also find that because it's not taken from the books I more and more question the plot lines and events that take place.
Has Jon made a mistake in leaving Sansa in charge. Will she betray him? I hope not.
Is Emilia's acting just poor or is Dany meant to hide all emotions?
I think I agree with this, and the schedule of writing for TV is probably as much to blame as the ability of the writers themselves, so surely the delay to the final episodes is a good things as it may give them more time to improve the script and before filming?I think the main flaw compared to early seasons is that the conversations between characters are not really dramatic, funny or particularly interesting. The dialogue isn't great. It is more functional with each conversation having some plot point. As George didn't write the conversations that is surely why.
