Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIan McElhinney, who plays Barristan Selmy, was surprised to learn of his character's death, as he had read the novels where Barristan was still alive at that point, and becoming an increasingly prominent character with his own point-of-view chapters. McElhinney suspected something when his shooting schedule was shorter than usual; his death scene was originally scripted to occur in Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken (2015), but got pushed ahead during production. In an interview after the episode aired, McElhinney remarked, "He had to be seen fighting. He's been talked about as the greatest knight that ever was, so he's got to fight. So it's great that he does." In the last book that was released at the time, Selmy was gearing up to fight a battle, and it was speculated that he might die in the unreleased next one.
- GoofsAt the end of the last fight, Grey Worm lies down with his head close to the corpse of one of the Sons of the Harpy. Then the camera changes to aerial view, and the corpse is gone.
- Quotes
[Melisandre enters]
Melisandre: Lord Commander.
Jon Snow: How can I help you?
Melisandre: Come with us when we ride South. No one knows the castle as well as you do. It's hidden tunnels, it's weaknesses, it's people. Winterfell was your home once. Don't you want to chase the rats out of it?
Jon Snow: Castle Black is my home now. The Night's Watch take no part in the wars of the Seven Kingdoms.
Melisandre: There's only one war. Life against death. Come, let me show you what you're fighting for.
Jon Snow: You're gonna show me some vision in the fire? Forgive me, my lady... but I don't trust in visions.
Melisandre: No visions. No magic. Just life.
[Melisandre bares her upper body, and Jon's touch roams over her]
Melisandre: Do you feel my heart beating? There's power in you. You resist it, and that's your mistake. Embrace it!
[Melisandre sits in Jon's lap]
Melisandre: The Lord of Light made us male and female. Two parts of a greater whole. In our joining, there's power. Power to make life... power to make light... and power to cast shadows.
Jon Snow: I don't think Stannis would like that very much.
Melisandre: Then we shouldn't tell him.
Jon Snow: I can't.
Melisandre: Why?
Jon Snow: I swore a vow. I loved another.
Melisandre: The dead don't need lovers. Only the living.
Jon Snow: I know. But I still love her.
[Melisandre feigns that she is about to kiss Jon, stands up, goes to door, turns back]
Melisandre: You know nothing, Jon Snow.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Thronecast: High Sparrow (2015)
So we are almost in the middle of season 5, and last two episodes were better that first two in my opinion. I would rate both of them 9. First off all both of them were longer in running time - that's a good thing. There were also more action, although action is just one of the parts (and not the most important) which makes this show great. Plot is moving to interesting directions, and while there some stops here and there, overall i'm intrigued.
Overall, episodes 3 and 4 were superior then first two. Bigger, bloodier, more intriguing. At this point we are still far from end of season 5, but something tels (no i haven't read books, so i'm fresh here) me that this season is going to be more of buildup for future events. I kinda had this idea first when they announced directors for season 5 and there weren't "heavyweighter" from previous seasons. Sure, there will be meaningful events, but so far everything is moving not very fast and more on a buildup level. Still, this is a great show so far no matter what direction it goes.
