BTW I just saw on ASOIAF reddit a poster observed that Ghost may well have saved Sam and Gilly because all the way back in s1, he was present intimidating Rast when Jon said, "No one touches, Sam." They remarked that since Ghost was basically a puppy back then he internalized this "protect Sam" order and acted on it in this episode. He's a well-trained pooch! Also, has anyone made a gifset paralleled the shot of Cersei walking away smirking to herself after talking to Marge in her cell with the shot of her walking away from Marge and her handmaidens back in ep. 503? Because if not, that would be a good idea for one, I think. Those two moments were definitely meant to parallel one another. I'm gonna make one when I'm back home  There is a bunch of 'sister' gifsets, though   |

I noticed that, too, was afraid for a minute there that she'd fall out right of her undergarment in front of Theon. Something I hadn't mentioned before. I turned on the TV yesterday while I was doing something else in the kitchen, and it was still tuned to HBO. I caught the tail-end of a rebroadcast of 5.07. I hadn't looked so closely before at HS's face as Cersei was being dragged away. Camera lingered on his face for quite some time, and I couldn't quite figure out if there was a trace of a smile or not. There wasn't anything overt that I could tell (I wound it back several times), but I thought there was a slight trace of satisfaction (self-satisfaction?). What did everybody else think? Spot on performance by Jonathan Pryce, wasn't it?! I mean, they really hit a home-run casting him because it takes very good acting to be able to pull off facial expressions that convey messages or leave the watcher wondering what the character is thinking and he just nailed it. I got a sense of carefully veiled satisfaction happening there. Justice would be what he calls it. One thing I've noticed this season is how much more meaningful the actors have been portraying their characters emotions and facial expressions. Even Kit's nailed it this year with some great looks for Jon Snow, when Stannis offered to make him Lord of Winterfell, and when Mel said "You know nothing Jon Snow" were particularly good for him! Iain Glen also really brought out the emotion in that tear-jerker moment when Tyrion tells him his Father was killed.  I think so, too, and add to that the expressions crossing Dany's face when she saw it was Jorah - right before the 'get him out of my sight'. |

I still don’t like how they potray the faith militant in general though. I wish they would be concerned about the urgent social problems in the city instead of persecuting homosexuals and pushing down beer barrels. That's how fanatics deal with problems, they believe misfortunes are the manifestation of gods punishing mortals for their sins. |

Well to be fair, they did a good job of introducing the High Sparrow in a King's Landing "Soup Kitchen" so the hungry and poor are being represented there at least. They've shown nothing of the peasantry out in the riverlands and other areas that were devastated by all the warring other than back when Arya and Gendry nearly got Rat-in-a-box torture haha. |

The season 4 Arya/Sandor arc spent quite a bit of time dealing with smallfolk that were suffering from the war. I agree that the soup kitchen was a good way to introduce the Faith, but now that they have power they are going to do what they feel would most effectively improve life, which is to eliminate sin and become pure. |

I disagree. Most of Arya and the Hound's travels in Season 4 showed that. You had the innkeeper and his daughter being abused, that farmer talking about the devastation and the gods, that man outside his burnt hut who the Hound gave mercy, that slaughtered family they passed, all those fires in the distance at the end of 4x01. We saw a fair bit of it.

Right, there was a lot more focus on the smallfolk in season four and not so much in season 5 is what I meant - they've shown nothing of the devastation in the Riverlands this season so I think they are holding that off now til' season 6 because of casting Maribald. The focus in King's Landing is definitely the clash between the sparrows and the nobles. Follows real life Catholic church in many ways. The little people were trampled underneath even though that was supposed to be who the church was representing. |
