Beware of spoilers if you haven't seen the Episode 6 yet!
Jon Snow
So he's going back over the wall to help gather the wildlings together and bring them to safety. Not sure if he should be leaving Castle Black. But I guess he doesn't have much of a choice. Not a very popular Lord Commander right now for sure.
It's a huge risk, but it's better than having the character sit around counting votes in the dining hall. It should be an exciting adventure. Perhaps this is how/when they'll bring Bran back in? Just a guess, of course. No spoilers.
Samwell Tarly
quickly rising in position. His fame is going to reach his father sooner or later. The guy who killed an Other. Would to see his father's reaction to all of this. And now Stannis is counting on him to find ways to kill the enemy.
I love his character. I guess it's not a coincidence the name calls to mind Samwise Gamgee?
Daenerys
I have no idea what she is planning on doing by marrying that Mereen leader guy. I still say burn the place to the ground and move on. She is now reduced to getting advice from her maid/assistant. Tyrion needs to get there quick.
This is a character in need of development in the worst way. She was on a tremendous trajectory for several seasons, but now it's like her car broke down in the middle of the desert, and the mechanics can't find the right parts.
Tyrion
He finally sees a dragon. And the added bonus of the Stone men and the ruins of Valayris. Loved the look on his face when he saw Drogon flying by. For once Tyrion was speechless.
A nice example of "less is more" acting. And so smart to have him see that prior to whatever is coming next.
Jorah
The guy just can't catch a break. Now he has greyscale(?). Unless they can find a cure like they did for Shireen, his time is limited.
His days are number, I imagine. That, or he'll be cured by Daenerys. But I doubt it.
Sansa
Man she is in one heck of a mess. That Bolton family is just flat out nutso. But the people of the North know she's there and Brienne is pretty close by. going to be interesting how this all goes down. Hope she gets some sweet revenge by killing that entire family and Theon. But this is GOT so it probably won't happen. Who thought she would find Theon in the kennel? For some reason I thought she would find one of the direwolves, Ayra's perhaps.
They had shown him there before -- remember when his sister tried to save him? -- so I figured that's where this was going as soon as Sansa walked in. I suspect the writers are slowly working their way towards Theon getting his revenge, while also playing a role in saving Sansa.
Slow episode. The part with Tyrion was the best. Kinda cool to see the ruins of Valayria. And an episode without Cersei. Kind of an odd episode I thought.
See how great Cersei is? Admit it: you missed her!
Just kidding. You put it perfectly in an earlier post: she's the person you love to hate -- which makes her absence particularly noticeable.
And the season is half over! :nono
