Game Of Thrones Season 5 Epi 1: I Wish You Good Fortune In The Wars To Come (Season Premiere)


After a long absence, GoT have finally returned with an episode entitled "The Wars To Come". There are lots of people and places to catch up with, so let's get started.  

Dany is still in Meereen. I really enjoyed the CGI of the Harpy being torn from the top of a pyramid and crashing to the ground below.  A group called the Sons of the Harpy (hmm, wonder who they worship?) are knocking off the Unsullied (especially if they frequent brothels). The mask wearing by the SoHs is a great touch. 

Elsewhere two children visit a witch in the woods. It's a flashback. One of the girls turns out to be Cersei. I see her horrible personality was already formed at an early age. The witch (apparently her name is Maggie the Frog) doesnt tell Cersei what she wants to hear. She will be Queen but will be usurped by someone younger (which is probably Margaery). She will have three children but none will survive. Will we see more of the witch in upcoming episodes?


After Hearing The Witch's Prophesy, It's No Wonder Cersei Is A Nutcase

Speaking of which, in King's Landing Cersei mourns the death of her father. She and Jaime fight as usual. He released Tyrion to have his life but then he killed their father. Good intentions gone back may be a theme this year (since this parallels the good intentions of Dany freeing the slaves in Meereen). Oh and cousin Lancel arrives to pay his respects to Tywin. He's had found religion in the form of a group called the Sparrows. 

Meanwhile Tyrion makes shore in Pentos. He was hidden in a crate by Varys (the Spider) during the long sea voyage. Tyrion is content to drink himself silly but Varys wants Tyrion to go with him to Meereen to help make Dany the true leader of the Seven Kingdoms. Tyrion is also sporting some new face hair. I like the look. 


The Spider And The Imp

Meanwhile Brienne and her squire Pod are wandering the countryside. They arent getting along very well. Littlefinger and Sansa are heading somewhere far, far away. And Brienne doesnt know that Sansa just rode past her. 


Somebody Needs A Good Obedience School

Dany goes to see the dragons. They are big, fire breathing and uncontrollable. And yep we're still down to two dragons (since one is MIA). 

And in the final segment Jon Snow is still at the Wall. Mance refuses to bend his knee to Stannis. Jon wants him to think of what will happen to his people. Mance after all has done what no one else could do (united all the wildling tribes).  They may all be killed by White Walkers but at least they'll have their pride. No, they will not fight for Stannis. Melisandre burns him at the stake. Mercifully Jon shoots him with an arrow to stop his torture. That's a bad way to go. 


The Red Witch Certainly Does Like Her Fires

Favorite Quotes:

  • "Everyone wants to know their future...until they know their future."- Maggie the Frog to a young Cersei. 
  • "I believe men of talent have a part to play in the war to come"- Varys to Tyrion. 
  • "A Dragon Queen with no dragons is not a queen.".
  • "You will be Queen for a time and then comes another, younger, to cast you down and take all you hold dear."- the Witch (Maggie) to a young Cersei. 
  • "The future is shit, just like the past."- Tyrion. 
  • "They were born on the wrong side of the wall. That doesnt make then monsters."- Jon about the wildlings. 
  • "Free folk, there is only one true king and his name is Stannis"- Melisandre
  • "And thus began the chain of mistakes that led us here"- Varys. 
  • "I wish you good fortune in the wars to come"- Mance to Stannis (before Mance is burned at the stake). 


Grade: 4 Monsters (out of 5). A little slow but still a great setup for what is to come. I hear season 5 is Cersei's year (no I havent read the books) so I cant wait to see what happens.
