High Sparrow

...for young Tommen. For Jon Snow. For Sansa. For Arya. For Tyron becoming hostage. For High Septon, victim of a so delicate situation. And for the viewers because something , in the eyes of word embroideries, is more then seductive and provocative. New starts and dark atmosphere. And, sure, the mistery.

I have to tell you guys about what I felt during watching this new season's several episodes. Well, this new season seems to lose a lot of steam, not like what we have seen before. What we got so far:

1. Not even one episode really showed any potential to become great as before.

2. Nothing but talk, talk, blab, blab and blab. Uninteresting dialog continued to an unbearable point.

3. The storyline suddenly seems to lose focus on many important things that we want to know when Season 4 ended, but so far, I just failed to see any development to keep my concentration going further.

Comparing this Season to the last four Seasons, it like watching two singing competition shows: If you never watched NBC 4 "The Voice" but only knew Fox 11 "American Idol", you would consider the latter is quite good, and those singers are pretty good, but, alas, once you watched "The Voice", then suddenly you know that all the singers on American Idol are not good enough, they are at a much much lower level than those singers on The Voice.

To me, Season 1 to Season 4 of "Game of Throne" is like "The Voice", while Season 5 is like "American Idol"; without knowing how great the last 4 seasons were, Season 5 maybe still looked good enough, but definitely not great so far.

I just hope the coming episodes would become better, but really doubt it.

Split in countless shortest sequence due so many characters High Sparrow as the title means is the returns an old acquaintance back in the game however in opposite stance, now a shabby man making welfare to hungry people, nonetheless has a power when punished the high Septon in the brothel surrounding by seven prosti-tutes, unsuitable be keeper of faith, thus the mother king will meeting with this unknown High Sparrow to certified such behavior.

In another highlight sequence at Castle Black when Jon Snow has a private meeting with the powerful Stannis Baratheon who request him take as Lord of the North, Jon Snow decides stay as Commander of Night Watch at freeze barrier by a old pledge that he made in early years there, in other hand Stannis tries convincing Jon to allude him seize power of his old father kingdom for yourself by hereditary right, even so Jon doesn't change your mind stay there for keep as Night Watch, in his early decision he faces with a stubborn servant Janos Slynt that refuses makes lowest works from an bas-tard ruler, then he lost his head to spoke in harsh tone, his destiny is sealed,

In a relevant sequence it is noticeable the lost of influence of Mother King Cersei Lannister after his young son marriage with the scheming girl the newest Queen Margaery Tyrell that deftly use her sex appeal over the silly smitten out of control in bed due so sexually involved by the wise Margaery that henceforth has a fully control of the youngest King Tommen, she starts defy Cersei authority in many occasions, chuckling the new status quo, letting Cersei staggered for a while wondering what coming next.

Also in an enlightening sequence when Brienne was track down Sansa and Petyr toward to Winterfell to accomplish an arranged marriage for political purposes, in the campfire Brienne open her close heart and tell to his sidekick Podrick Payne her young experience with men at a ball where she was wooded by several contenders, however everything was a farce all them afterwards laughed her due is so ugly and stout.

And Finally the anxious and fed up with long journey and Lord Varys, Tyron Lannister arrives in the biggest city Volantis and soon disappears on the crowd followed by the worry Varys afraid that someone recognizes the reluctant Tyron that demands find out a brothel at once, finding trouble there and has been kidnapped.

Without forget the early sequence when Arya becomes servant at temple and hope answers soon as can, however has a rebuke to be patient in such place by Jaqen H'ghar that ordain get rid of their belongs and thrown away on the sea, Arya done it partially only.

Thanks for reading.

So Jaime and Daenerys took the week off but the show's quality absolutely did not. It was another week with several great character moments and a great example of just how good this show is with spreading the love to the entire cast. We learned more about the House of Black and White, saw new journeys for Sansa and Tyrion, and had many short but important moments with everyone else.

The episode started with Arya doing the dirty work at the house and in turn had to basically give up her name as her first step of training. Throwing her clothes, coin, and nearly her sword into the water was pretty emotional. It just goes to show how long we have been following Arya and how much that sword meant to her. But it was fun to see Arya go off on that one girl and say some words I don't know that we have ever heard her say. We then were taken to the bedroom of Tommen and Margaery. It's clear that the latter doesn't have as much feelings as the former does. It's also clear that the actor sounds so much like Joffrey did and it was quite apparent tonight. Margaery also had a great scene with Cersei in which not a lot was said, but there was a lot that came out of it. Cersei is quickly falling down the ladders of power and Margaery is rising ever so fast. That scene clearly showed those two in their new and improved season 5 form.

We then traveled north to visit Sansa and Littlefinger. Finding out that he was planning on having Sansa marry Ramsey was heartbreaking. She has been through arguably the most out of any character on the show and to land with a psychopath like him is tough to see. I hope there are better things to come for Lady Stark. Perhaps Brienne, who is just a few miles out comes in for the rescue? Speaking of Brienne of Tarth, her scene with Podrick reminded us of Stannis' faults and what the man is capable of. But I would like to think he has the best intentions. Once again him and Jon Snow had the best scenes of the episode with the ladder having to reject his offer. Stannis wasn't too pleased but realizes the honor in staying as the leader of the night watch. But as Stannis said, that honor got Ned Stark killed. Even at the end of the episode when Snow stands up and executes that man, it had shades of Ned in season 1. And it definitely mirrored Dany's issues last week.

We ended with Tyrion in his quest to head to Meeren and find Dany. To be honest, it's so cool to even hear him say her name out loud. I have to imagine the book readers geek out over that. It's just as fun to watch Varys and Tyrion ride together for a long period of time. The line of "I'm losing my mind" or even "I need to speak to someone with hair" were hilarious. And finally we find Jorah, who looks to be on the edge, only to take Tyrion prisoner with the line of "I'm taking you to the queen". Having not read the books, I'm really interested to see how this plays out. Jorah is not on good terms with Dany and throwing Tyrion in there makes it all the more unpredictable. No matter, I'm definitely looking forward to next week as we are nearly one third of the way into season 5 already!

+Arya learning the ways of being no one

+Snow & Stannis scenes

+Tyrion-Varys banter

+Jorah pops up

+Queen shift in power

-Sansa's endgame seems frustrating

9.0/10

After two slightly slow episodes, this season of Game of Thrones is picking up full speed. Now the storylines are really starting to engage me.
