Some good moments and some questionable moments of sanity in this episode.

 
My biggest bone to pick comes with the Iron born, who seem to have been given the idiot ball that started this season in the hands of Dorne, went to the Dothraki male leaders and has now travelled to Pyke.
Are the Iron born that stupid to take a look at a well known reaver, who has loyally served them for all her life, is one of the best sailors they have and who wants to build a large fleet and maintain their independence and then choose a bloke who supposedly went nuts while at sea, who has disappeared for years on end and vows to roll over and sell the independence of Pyke to the Targaryians at the first opportunity.
Also, given that Pyke is seemingly not dissimilar to the far islands of Scotland and Scandinavia, where are they going to get the wood for these thousand warships? :doh: :hmmm:
I'm guessing that a lot of forests in the North are suddenly going to go missing. You can picture the scene, Jon Snow and his army of Wildlings camped out in a forest, and they wake up in the morning and find themselves in a field with no trees around them. :haha:
And their initiation ceremony for new rulers is a barrel of laughs, imagine how many times it must have gone wrong, that must have been embarrassing, just standing around on the shoreline with this dead body there, "Errr...right...looks like we backed a loser here...anyone got the number of the next of kin?"

Otherwise though, it was all quite good, the Hodor connection was nicely done, the play at Braavos was a nice look at how the common folk are seeing events play out, although given how popular Joffery was in Kings Landing I'd have wagered that he wouldn't have gotten quite a noble portrayal, so chances are that the play was probably commissioned by the Lannisters. Reminds me a bit of how Shakespeare portrayed Richard III whilst writing under a Tudor monarchy. :O: Nice cameos there too by Richard E Grant and Kevin Eldon.

But seriously anyone who is behind in the series ought not to be reading these threads if they're that concerned with seeing spoilers. It's not fair to everyone else to have to hide everything behind spoiler tags and it just stifles conversation. I say just put a spoiler warning in the thread title and let folks say what they want.

Look, you want to to upset the guys in the Subsim Forum Research Dept. after they spent all that time developing the Spoiler function? Do you?!

 
Ha, made you look

Episode six promises to be the best one of this season yet.

Onkel Neal 05-26-16 10:48 AM

Yeah, we're over the 1/2 point and there's a lot of momentum.

I have not seen any previews of Ep 6, I prefer to know nothing.

As for Hodor, one thing gives me hope: we did not see him die. So, he might be still alive! Alternatively, he'll come back as a white walker and someone (likely Jon Snow) has to kill him. :dead:

Oberon 05-27-16 08:48 AM

I got better! :O:

I think he might be referring to

 
Jon Snow


Although technically

 
It wasn't fake, it was a real death...he just got better.
