Things that happened in Game of Thrones Season 5, Episode 3
{Note: I decided to stray away from my regular format of blogging GoT because these bullet-style recaps seemed more natural. I'm not big on writing [eloquent] reviews. I like to have fun (and poke fun) and writing little blurbs seems to work best for me.}
- I can see why they cut out some characters... There is so much going on, I almost need to take notes (and I DID).
- Jaqen H'ghar is Mr. Miyagi. Arya is little grasshopper. Random other girl is the "sweep the leg" kid.
- Arya loses Needle again, but she has to give it up herself in order to become a Pokemon master, or whatever. She cries. I cried. It's okay, she hides it in a time capsule so she can get it later.
- I have this theory that Jaqen H'ghar is actually dead and that old man from the previous episode is just wearing his skin... Why the hell not? This is D&D we're talking about...
- My face during the too-old-for-you Margery/12 year-old, precious cupcake, sweetheart Tommen scene...
- Also, the screams heard around the world in reaction to this scene made it hard for me to pay attention to the dialogue between them.
- Tommen passively-aggressively tells Cersei "you can't sit with us".
- Margery aggressively tells Cersei "you can't sit with us."
- Margery aggressively calls Cersei a dinosaur.
- Margery aggressively points out Cersei's drinking problem.
- Margery aggressively tells Cersei "I'm fucking your son."
- Margery treats Cersei's life so hard for two minutes straight. Cersei's face indicates that Margery will be dead soon...
- Cersei finds the High Sparrow - a devout old man dedicated to serving the Gods and helping the poor. Or IS HE??? ...He is. So he replaces the dirty-old-man High Septon.
- Qyburn is working on a Frankenstein monster. And, oh my Seven Gods, there's a jumpscare in Game of Thrones!
- Petyr takes Sansa home, but Winterfell, is now Winterhell. Oh...and by the way, Sansa, you have to marry Frankenstein's other monster, Ramsay Bolton.
- Petyr: "Avenge them!" Sansa: I know The Avengers is coming out soon, but you need to chill.
- Sansa does what she does best - puttin' on dat fake charm.
- Brienne tells Pod a back-story about how she was made fun of when she was a girl, but Renly was the only boy who was nice to her (this is why she loves him). And yes, she doesn't care that he's gay (YAASS, GURL!).
- Jon Snow is still Jon Snow. Davos is still Stannis' #1 fan. This kid who is now Jon's squire is still adorable.
- Janos Slynt, a butcher's son, has now become "the butchee"; Stannis approves (I made up a word, sorry!).
- Tyrion and Yukio lock eyes. I need more Red Priestess Yukio on this show!
- Jorah kidnaps Tyrion to take him to "the Queen" (hmmm, I wonder which qeeen?) (..it's going to be fucking Daenerys.)
The "You're Not Supposed to Be Here" Squad:
- Sam, Gilly and baby, Maester Aemon: Supposed to be on a boat to the Citadel, so Sam can become a maester.
- Davos: LEAVE ALREADY AND GO FIND RICKON STARK!
- Varys: He's supposed to be vanished after Tywin's death, but I guess he's filling in for Illyrio...Griff...everyone else Tyrion comes in contact with in the books...
- Jaqen H'ghar: I can't complain too much because I love him, buuuuut...
- Margery's naked body in Tommen's bed: GET OUT! YOU DON'T BELONG THERE!!!
