He's too busy writing 2016

(and no, I didn't come up with that joke)

So pretty much this episode just caught us up except for three pretty big things .

Wow. Thoughts.

Premiere mostly wraps up threads from the end of last season. The Wall stuff tells us nothing new, though the reveal of Melisandre's true form was interesting.

Sansa finally makes an intelligent decision and goes with Brienne. I got choked up when they were saying their vows.

I really felt for Cersei in her scenes. Maybe we'll end up liking her after this season? Would be one of the biggest redemptions of a hated villain in like anything ever.

Deaths of Trust and and Doran are necessary for the ensuing obvious war against the Martells, and Dorne is beautiful to look at, but the scenes left me cold.

It was cool to see Daenerys spar with the Khal, but at this point, I'm ready to see her take the Iron Throne, and I'm tired of these detours.

I'm interested in the girl Arya meets. Will be interesting to see how she overcomes her blindness.

Premiere was good after 20 minutes when it got to the interesting characters.

I still don't care or know the names of anyone not named Cersei, Brienne, Daenerys, Sansa, Arya, Margery, Tyrien, Samwell, Gilly or Jamie.

I hope Jon is actually dead.

You don't know Theon, Ramsay, Roose, Ellaria, Varys, Jorah, Melisandre, or Davos?

I salivate for the next episode.

I loved every bit. We have many people to hate like those females from Dorn and the real traitors nights watch.
It was fantastic seeing Brianne kick more ass. The only has made a step toward redemption. Loved seeing the red witches true form. There's gonna be a lot of people getting revenge this season.

I need more!!

Great premiere! Everything was just awesome, except for Dorne.... I could not care any less even if I tried.

Can we skip to the part where Cersei goes kunt mode and sends the mointain to kill the high sparrow? We are cheering for Cersei... Who saw that coming?

Dorne is really hurt by the fact none of the characters beyond Ellaria have had any development, and even she became less interesting after season 4.

Jon is dead, but he will be coming back. I am 100% confident of that.

Literally have no idea who any of those characters are by name other than Melisandre.

Really, not even Theon/Reek?!

Theon- The guy with Sansa who got his dick cut off
Ramsay- The bastard who cut his dick off, is at Winterfell missing Sansa
Roose- His dad who rules over Winterfell and betrayed the Starks at the Red Wedding
Ellaria- The mother of the Sad Snakes, Oberyn's lover, kills Myrcella and Doran in Dorne
Varys- The shady bald eunuch with Tyrion
Jorah- The older guy who travels with Daenerys
Davos- Stannis' best friend

Can we get a sitcom spinoff with these new Dothraki? I was cracking up during all their scenes.

Great first episode. There was actually some pace in it. Something I've missed the last 3 seasons. Might become the best season yet.

Season 4 was fucking breathless. Never let up.

Great episode

This airs way too late at night for goodness sakes.

Aaaaaaaand He's back

I feel like her spell is one of those temporary life spells like the life extension machine in TDTESS.

His return was pretty predictable (part of me wishes he just stayed dead, idk Jon was never my fave) but I'm glad it didn't take all season for that to happen 'cause we all know it was... Good episode though.

Glad there was no Dorne or Daenerys in this episode. Dumb plotlines. I like Daenerys, but this Dothraki thing is just killing time till she can attack Westeros.

The issue now is explaining why they can't bring Myrcella back to life. Or Tywin. Or Joffrey. Or any body with all the parts intact

Well, we've seen someone (Beric Dondarrion) revived before by a Red Priest in either Season 3 or 4. There was hardly a ceremony or ritual in the scene, though, with just a prayer being said. And Beric's come back from death multiple times, forgetting/missing part of who he was each time I believe.

I don't like the whole bringing back from the dead business. Not in the books, not in the show.
