Kill the Boy

With all due respect to George R.R. Martin, leeway with the books has made Game of Thrones Season 5 the most consequential yet, and "Kill the Boy" set yet another strong precedent.

The consolidation of the power of Daennerys. The alliance of Tormund. The survive against stone men and the blesssures of Mormont. And the meet of Sansa with Theon. Simple events, seductive for the great way to define the story. The axis - the love story between Missandei and Gray Worm. A well crafted embroidery of facts and inspired use of nuances - the expectation of Lady Brienne as basic proof.

Just two or three chapters are worth mentioning in slow pace episode, when Daenerys takes a hard decision to entrap all richest family's leaders due the previous revolt, letting one of them be fired and eaten by the dragons, meanwhile at wall Jon Snow makes an unusual and weird proposal to Tormund, due the wild people were no foods he offers both people a truce to fighting for theirs surviving in possible join forces against the common foe north Bolton, he will allowed the deserted lands for his people, the faltering Tormund accepts as long the own Joe Snow goes along and offers Stannis's fleet of ships to bring them, Stannis decides head to north to start his war in hope Jon Snow convinces the wild ones gather in the fight in time.

At last Tyron is in Mormont's boat begging for some wine, they enter in a channel toward the old advanced Valerya city already crumbling and overgrow, suddenly appears a flying dragon crossing the sky, the extent to which they move forward the worst comes along, the awful creatures Stone men, jumping inside the boat, Mormont struggles hard as he can, whilst Tyron is tied up is warned by Mormont avoid they try touch him, Tyron falling down on deep water saves by Mormont before he drowns, Mormont actually touched the Stone men and has been infected by their skin decease.

As I said a slow pace episode, a sexy nude scene between the wicked Ransay and his former girlfriend Myranda meanwhile in advance he treats Theon harshly as often, a poisoned guy indeed, also Daenerys allowing back the games as tradition on the Kingdom.

Thanks for reading.

Resume:

First watch: 2023 / How many: 1 / Source: Blu-Ray / Rating: 8.5.

The focus begins with Dany, whose miscalculations and ego have caused great distress. She begins by trying to rule through fear. She brings in the city's family leaders. She feeds one of them to the dragons, a horror filled scene. We don't know at this point if the carnage will continue, or if she is making a point. At first it appears to be the former. Things change however. The most interesting story takes us back to Theon and Ramsey, the utter psychotic "possible" son. He is totally evil, embracing the fear of everyone. He is also a coward because he has only accomplished things through his being shielded by his power base. He abuses women and plays psychological games with Sansa. He knows that she is vulnerable. She has grown some and believes that Littlefinger will do something to help her, but we will see how much this trust is worth. The forces under John Snow and his people amass and head out to face the Boltons. In a nice hook, we have Jorah hoping to appease the Dragon Lady with Tyrion. Unfortunately, they are accosted by the people who have become savages because of greyscale. The concluding scene sets up an interesting road ahead.

One of my favourite episodes of all time. Theon has a great role
