The Red Priestess Melisandre enters and sees Jon dead – she appears visibly saddened, but I wonder what her agenda is? Davos and friends send Jon’s trusted companion Dolorous Edd off to help in some way, and I’m wondering whether he’s going to bring the wildlings to Jon’s defense. Davos and Jon’s friends now have a pretty legitimate reason not to trust Alliser Thorne or the rest of the Night’s Watch who rebelled against Jon Snow for bringing the wildlings south of the Wall. Jon’s friends come to his rescue and take him to safety inside, but unfortunately, he is definitely dead. Unfortunately this scene is too dark for my television to handle, much like most of the House of Black and White scenes from last season, so my visibility was pretty poor and I couldn’t even see any of the nice direction by Podeswa.
Davos Seaworth, my favourite bro of all time, finds Jon dead. Jon Snow’s direwolf, Ghost, is howling, because Jon Snow is still dead after the events of the finale of season five where he was stabbed to death by his fellow brothers of the Night’s Watch. Meanwhile, this episode is directed by Jeremy Podeswa, who also directed the Emmy award winning episode of last season, “ Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken“, as well as “ Kill the Boy“. It’s still pretty upsetting to see the Bolton sigil of the flayed man on Winterfell. Let’s get on to the episode! Warning: This post is completely filled to the brim with spoilers.įirstly, there are no changes to the opening title sequence, so that means we won’t be seeing any new locations this episode. Weiss and David Benioff take the story of our beloved protagonists and antagonists whether this direction makes any sense, or whether it’s just directionless. Although this new season is unknown story territory for me and a lot of other people (because we’ve run out of books, thanks George R R Martin), I’m interested to see where show creators/executive producers/writers/makers of mischief D. Whilst watching season five, I noted that there were quite a number of lows (for me, personally) in comparison to a few intense highs that almost made up for the lows.
Cersei’s been backed into a corner on that four-dimensional chessboard, and queenslaying may be the only move left.Season six of Game of Thrones has finally arrived! I spent a good chunk of my public holiday weekend binge-watching season five and crying with a mixture of excitement and apprehension about season six. Because if you think about it, what moves does Cersei have left to play? The Mountain and the probably-never-happening-but-could-still-happen Cleganebowl? Qyburn and bigger versions of his ballista? Thanks to that deus ex Bronn at the end of last Sunday’s episode, we still have Jaime around to fulfill that valonqar prophecy we’ve heard so much about. We have less than a season left of episodes - nine to be exact - and the sooner we eliminate Cersei, the sooner we can get to diving into the Great War. But to stop sounding like Bran for a moment, I am 100 percent sure Cersei’s going to bite it in some epic fashion by the end of this season, and 70 percent sure it’ll happen this weekend.
