Game of Thrones – Winter is Coming Season 5

Episode 05 – Kill The Boy (link)
Plot Summary:
Brienne and Podrick arrive at an inn close to Winterfell and asks for help to get a message to Sansa, who, in Winterfell, is reunited with Reek, formerly Theon Greyjoy. Ramsay forces Reek to apologize to Sansa for murdering her younger brothers. At the Wall, Tormund Giantsbane accepts an alliance with the Night’s Watch in exchange for settlement south of the Wall. He tells Jon that most of the wildlings have made their way to Hardhome, and that Jon must accompany him to speak with the wildlings, which Jon accepts. Later, Stannis’ army marches on Winterfell, along with Selyse and Shireen. In Meereen, Grey Worm rests under the watchful eye of Missandei. While Daenerys has a Meereenese noble fed to her dragons Viserion and Rhaegal in retaliation for Ser Barristan’s death and many others imprisoned, but she agrees to reopen the fighting pits and marry Hizdahr zo Loraq to help bring peace to Meereen. At sea, Tyrion and Jorah sail through Valyria. They see Drogon fly overhead before they are attacked by a group of stone men. They manage to escape, but Jorah is infected with greyscale, though he keeps this a secret.
  • Joel’s Notes
    • Sansa & Ramsay
      • Man this kid (Ramsay) is an obnoxious little psychopath. Makes you hate him all the more.
      • Sansa seems to be playing it smart and just taking it all in stride. I have a feeling her revenge will be calculated slowly.
    • Jon & Maester Aemon (Stannis)
      • Aemon encourages Jon to make his own decisions, with confidence. “Kill the boy and let the man be born,” It’s where the episode gets it’s title.
      • Jon frees Tormund Giantsbane and offers the wildlings land south of the wall in exchange for their alliance when the need arises.
      • Tormund requests that Jon accompany him to deliver this news.
      • Stannis reluctantly lends ships to Jon to transport the wildlings south of the wall.
      • Stannis and his men depart for Winterfell. Selyse and Shireen accompany them. Stannis does not feel they’re safe at the wall, but I have a feeling his excuse of killers and rapists is just a cover.
      • Fantastic non-dialog scene when Tyrion sees Drogon fly overhead.
        • Thought it was great how Jorah is wary, but not surprised.
      • I had forgotten about the stone men, driven mad by greyscale. At first I thought they were whites. They both have very zombie like demeanors.
      • Jorah’s road to redemption now has a timeline.
    • Daenerys
      • Grey Worm is alive, barely but Ser Barristan Selmy did not survive his wounds.
      • Daenerys gathers the great leaders of Meereen and presents them to Rhaegal and Viserion, who barbecue and eat one of them.
        • A wicked, and graphic scene.
      • When asked for council on the Sons of the Harpy, Missandei tells Daenerys that she has always been able to find unique solutions.
        • This mirrors in a way the advice that Aemon gave Jon Snow.
      • Daenerys agrees to reopen the fighting pits to free men only and also informs Hizdahr zo Loraq, that she will marry him to make peace.
        • I found this an odd move. I remember Hizdahr from the books, but I don’t recall this marriage in the chain of events.
    • Tyrion & Jorah
      • Fantastic non-dialog scene when Tyrion sees Drogon fly overhead.
        • Thought it was great how Jorah is wary, but not surprised.
      • I had forgotten about the stone men, driven mad by greyscale. At first I thought they were whites. They both have very zombie like demeanors.
        • Jorah’s road to redemption now has a timeline.
