Misfits?
This ep was hella good. I continue to love Marg, and not being in 1st person lets us see things like the conversation between Varys and Grandma Tyrell, which is made of yay. I do find it interesting that they (book spoilers for things that have already happened differently)
went with simplifying the Sansa becomes a Tyrell plan and don't bring the other brother into it.
(Spoilers for things that have not happened)
It will make Tyrion that much more of a contrast, even though I maintain that he is in the running for Best Husband In Westeros.
I love how, even though I don't speak the language, it's clear that Dany speaks Valyrian like a native.
Right? I'm getting the feeling much more strongly than I ever did in the books that there's this WALL OF DRAGON coming to Westeros, and she is gonna OWN your asses as is right and proper (Fuck, yeah, Dany Targaryen). If this were a different series, I'd say that she'd come and dispense good justice upon the righteous and unrighteous for the entire last 50 pages/episode of the series. But, this is not that Universe.
I would have liked a few of the Unsullied to say, "Yeah, thanks, I'm out."
So awesome.
Yeah, Misfits. He seemed familiar last week, but I couldn't place him.
I also really like how much we get to see of the Tyrells goings on (why do I get the Martells and Tyrells confused? I always do).
Also, also, pink sparkly hearts of antiseptic around Brienne and Jaime.
Jesus, I almost forgot! That's how awesome this episode was, I can't keep all the awesome in my limited memory.
Even having read what went down in Craster's Keep, that was shocking, too.

Well, it's a song of ice and fire, right? To me that sounds like it all comes down to dragons vs white walkers in the end.

I never thought of that. That makes a lot of sense.
This episode, man. I love this series so much. I want to put the Dany scenes on a loop and watch them over and over. I want her to take the throne, although god knows nothing that wonderful could happen, given the series so far.
I love Maergery, and I think she would be a fair ruler, but she *wants* the throne for the power and the riches. Dany not only believes the throne is rightfully hers by blood, but I think she wants the responsibility of it, the chance to take care of the people of her kingdom.
I could be a little bit in love with her.
The scene at Craster's Keep was so shocking. But the weird thing is, I had been thinking earlier in the episode that Craster is really reckless -- it's him and an army of miserable, underfed daughter-wives, and the Night's Watch (or whoever) could totally seize it and kill Craster without much of a fight. Then it happened, I was still shocked! I didn't expect Mormont to go at all.
I loved the Dany scenes as someone who doesn't know what is to come. That was fucking awesome. I kind of knew some of what was to come because it was telegraphed, but hot damn.
Literally.
but she *wants* the throne for the power and the riches.
I would hesitate to opine on what Maergery wants and why. She's got dome deep waters that we haven't seen much of.
But I do love a righteous Danaerys Stormborn showing her dragon off.
