Your lordship lost a son at the Red Wedding. I lost four upon the Blackwater. And why? Because the Lannisters stole the throne. Go to King’s Landing and look on Tommen with your own eyes, if you doubt me. A blind man could see it. What does Stannis offer you? Vengeance. Vengeance for my sons and yours, for your husbands and your fathers and your brothers. Vengeance for your murdered lord, your murdered king, your butchered princes. Vengeance!
The High Sparrow eyes another target. Jaime confronts a hero. Arya makes a plan. The North is reminded.
On the High Sparrow--there are rumors out there about an interview Jonathan Pryce apparently gave to a polish entertainment outlet. If anyone reads Polish, I can link it. But I can't read anything that isn't Germanic or Romance based.
But in that article, Pryce gives some hefty clues re: what will happen at the end of the season.
Jaime--that's gotta be meeting the Blackfish, right?
Arya--maybe this is where she runs?
And the North--I'm assuming that's when they go to Bear Island. Though there's talk that Lyanna Mormont helps them persuade other houses, so, maybe there's a later moment where they get everyone.
All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. Oscar Wilde.
“In Qohor he is the Black Goat, in Yi Ti the Lion of Night, in Westeros the Stranger. All men must bow to him in the end, no matter if they worship the Seven or the Lord of Light, the Moon Mother or the Drowned God or the Great Shepherd. All mankind belongs to him... else somewhere in the world would be a folk who lived forever. Do you know of any folk who live forever?”
I wonder what speech they were talking about?? B/c Meribald ("Ray"?) didn't give much of a speech. Definitely not the well-known and loved broken man speech from the books - that one was anti-war, and explained why people like the BwB do what they do. It was very enlightening, but sadly missing from the show....
I liked this director, and look forward to seeing Ep 8 (as long as they don't kill off Arya... ugh this is gonna haunt me ALL WEEK).
