And I guess it isn't 100%, but it certainly looks like Greyworm isn't dead (at least not right away). Having Barristan die and Grey Worm make it was another assumption I made. I'm usually equally hit and miss in speculating on things happening each season but for S5, I've surprisingly had everything nailed so far. Place your bets with me folks, before the hot streak runs it's course.

Emilia better ball her fucking eyes out over Barristan's dead body. I hope she doesn't butcher the scene like she did when she was banishing Jorah. (Staring above his head) I like Emilia, but she's very hit and miss at times. I want her reaction to Barristan's death to be powerful. |

Amazingly, I think Dany's most emotional reaction to a death to this point is for Rakharo, so there's that.

Yeah the scene when she banished Jorah and pretty much Emilia's acting all throughout Season 4 was a huge disappointment. I think she was staring at the ceiling though because she couldn't look at him after being so disgusted, but her delivery was pretty bad. There was no emotion in her voice except when she said "Go back to your masters in King's Landing." So far this season, she has definitely improved, which is good, because I haven't really cringed while watching her scenes, they are more enjoyable. Though, I think she is better in scenes where she shows her genuine, humane, or vulnerable side (something that was overall missing from Season 4) or when she speaks Valyrian. |

I guess I'm in the minority of people who actually thought she was good in that scene  She was pretty shit the rest of the season ("How can I rule 7 kingdoms if I can't even rule a single city" was particularly awful), but I liked that scene. Especially the moment where Jorah says he sent letters to Varys, you can kind of see her die inside just hearing it. And the "don't look at him" was probably a directorial choice. |

Yeah, I give her a lot of crap for her wooden performances last season, but not that one. She didn't look at him because she was trying not to lose it. Just like when she didn't look at Mossador during his execution. Basically, she can give out the punishment, but she can't stand to watch people receive it. It's a weakness with her. |

No worries, Emilia has been good this season, she will deliver.
It's simple!
S1 - Good
S2 - Bad
S3 - Good
S4 - Bad
S5 - Good
S6 - Bad

I thought she was good in that scene too. I agree that she was trying to keep from losing it. People in her world (as well as ours) think women can't be good leaders because we're "too emotional" so I think that she was just trying to avoid that. |
