Game Of Thrones [TV Show] Season 5 Episode 3 Discussion
I know it doesn't come out for a few days, but I find the trailer to be really good and generate a good amount of hype. 
Here it is:
Now, I may or may not have watched the leaked episode online, but ASSUMING I did.... I'd say it was the best episode for this season yet and the season is starting to pick up.

Its going to be badass
The Boltons are in = It's gonna be great
So we're seeing inside Winterfell for the first time since... the end of season 2 with Theon's speech? The shows budget must have increased significantly since then, i wonder new sets/upgrades it'll get!
It's a great episode, I'll just say that.
I thought the episode was pretty good
I'm unsure what Varys is going to do? So far hes being playing another book role really and I was half expecting him to fill another one as well but we will see
The kings landing stuff was fantastic Marg vs Cersei is just great, and I have to admit Tommen is so much more of a character here
Also at the very least Mira was based off one of Margery's handmaidens in that scene, best case that is mira
Brienne and pod were ....alright, exposition I suppose
EDD, FETCH ME A BLOCK.
...uh, I mean, Olly, bring me my sword. Whatever.
No exact lookalikes, but the one standing in the front looks a bit Sera-ish. Does anyone know if gold/blue scarfy thingshave any meaning? Mira's is blue as well. Is it just fashion?
Good episode. I like how Tyrion's story is MORE OR LESS leading where the books are leading. They are cutting a lot, but they are handling it really well.
The Wall is the best of this season, and I wasn't a big fan of one-of-two-faces Jon. Stannis is the Mannis no doubt.
Sansa hasn't showed her new personality this season yet, in this episode she was the little girl she's been for the first three and 1/2 seasons, but a little wedding will wake her.
is qyburn making a super mountain? Or what
I liked to following
Yes
I think the one second from right looks like Sera too. The one in the middle looks the most like Mira. My guess is though, canonically, Mira will be long gone by this point.
Gotta feel sorry for Sansa.. Sad that the manderly pies look to be excluded from this season..
Unless Ramsey serves Frey pie as a gift to Sansa during their wedding feast! Someone suggested perhaps Ramsay wants his inheritance early and will serve the pie with some Roose liver on the side! Ramsy had no part in the red wedding and Sansa may believe him
Whether it goes that far or not, I dont think he'll hurt Sansa. Roose explained her importance. Plus shes wanted for regicide so she can play up to that reputation
This was a great episode! Best of this season so far. There wasn't really anything I didn't like in this episode.
Castle Black was great again, another nice scene between Jon and Stannis, and Slynt's execution was pretty good too. Sansa/LF and BriPod both felt better in this episode too. Brienne's story from her childhood was neat and Sansa in WF seems so far actually pretty good - interesting to see where that goes.
King's Landing was solid, Tommen is a lucky boy, Cersei vs. Margy intensifies, High Sparrow is in, and Qyburn's laboratory.... damn, can't wait to see Robert Strong (or whatever he'll be called in the show). Arya was okay, but just like in the books she feels so isolated from the big story that it's kinda weird. And Volantis was awesome. "I'm taking you to the queen." Chills.
I'd rate this 8,5/10
I doubt it..
I totally see Sera in this pic. Also see Mira... now whenever I see Maergery's hand maidens I am constantly looking for Mira.
Either way there are other ways to include Frey pie without Lord to fat to sit a horse. It can be any northern house, perhaps even the small folk inside Winterfell
Can you tell I'm still reading the books when I kept having "will they won't they?" thoughts this episode? I wasn't sure Arya would throw away Needle or not (so glad she didn't!) and if Jon Snow would chop off the guy's head, though I figured he would in the end to show his authority and how seriously he takes the Night's Watch oaths.
I am nervous with Sansa around Ramsay, but that's just because he terrifies me to no end and I actually like Sansa.
I'm not too worried about Tyrion being captured by Ser Jorah, but I am more worried about that priestess who saw him.
This episode also got me thinking about the game, as it did bring up an interesting point that means hope for our little Forresters. With Tywin dead, the Boltons aren't as secure in the north, which means their backing of the Whitehills isn't as strong either. I don't know if this will result to anything, but it is a thought point.
EDIT: Accidentally put Tyrell instead of Tywin. Fixed now.
Did you mean with Tywin dead?
Yes. Thank you. >_< My brain blanked on the name and I put in the first Ty-something that came to mind that wasn't Tyrion XD
Mira
=D
Well Janos that's what you get for betraying Ned and killing babies. At the very least you could have sucked it up instead of crying like a girl who was dumped at prom you wuss.
Mira looks more like this one to me
Well, yes.. The Boltons will definetly have problem with keeping the North under their control. But their current situation is rather secure given that they got themselves and their army inside the 'greatest' fortress in the North. I don't really think that Stannis should pose any real threat to their house survival unless they get infiltrated from inside.
I'm wondering as to what the laws specifically say when it comes to TV and sex with underage actors. Dean-Charles Chapman is only 17 years old so obviously they can't have him partake in actual sexual events and there's no way he wasn't wearing pants in the bed while filming but I was surprised to find that Natalie Dormer was completely nude for that scene.
Edit: I found an article that explains it nicely.

Could they do a bigger 'fuck you' to the readers than this? I'm honestly baffled here. Why D&D? why alienating you book readers fans so much? why not give them these small memorable lines we all love and just want to see on screen? the fact that they changed it didn't bother me as much as the thought process behind it. I really think they did it for spite to the book readers to show that the show is a different entity.
As for the episode...It was good, I guess. So Cersei send a message to LF and in the next scene he gets it in Winterfell? this actually did bother me because it's a prime example of poor writing, LF and Sansa spends 2 episodes on the road and then a rider from the Eyrie arrives like day after she sent the letter...Did it arrive in a FedEx plane or something(and Tom Hanks wasn't on it thank god)
So there's a lot of foreshadowing in (saint) Tyrion's story about Greyscales, last episode we had Gilly's conversaion with Shireen and now they actually used the term "stone men" so I think we're gonna get a really neat scene from the books in the next episodes.
I won't talk about the rest of the stuff that were bad because I honestly don't want to write an essay but I'll just say this, something is off this season for me, not sure what but it's just feels really wrong, like it's not GoT anymore and I don't think it's just me here
Dean-Charles got so fucking lucky
I guess Jorah's arrival right now means that Young Griff really isn't coming (or at least not until very late in the season). Otherwise, was a really good episode, I liked how similar the execution of Janos was.
Wait Tommen is 17? They sure did a good job of making him look about 12
That the one im thinking, the rest dont really look like either but those two are almost identical
Haha, my first thought. Dude has bragging rights back home now. :P
I'm pretty sure they're dropping Young Griff altogether. I read it in a few places and I'm 90% positive.
Dude, right? He has some memories to last him forever.
Yeah. Last season Dean-Charles sounded and looked even younger.
The north remembers.
Indeed it does, the time of the wolves will come.
