[NOVAMOV]Watch Game of Thrones Season 5 Episode 2 Online - The House of Black and White

Likewise, Jaime is a pretty major part of the third book of A Song of Ice and Fire, but hasn’t really been around much in either show or books since. I hope the show does more with Jaime, as he’s one of my favorites from the books, a man truly torn between his better angels and well, just about everyone who isn’t Tyrion in his family.

Which brings us to Tyrion, now a fugitive on the run across the Narrow Sea in Pentos. I really liked Tyrion’s scene with Varys, for a few reasons.

First of all, the dialogue around having to use the bathroom in the tiny crate in which he was hidden was pretty golden, a nice—well, I would say “breath of fresh air” but it doesn’t quite work here; let’s say “comic relief” instead. It was actually the first thing that crossed my mind as he dragged himself out of the box. How does one relieve oneself in such cramped quarters, and where does the refuse go?

Second, Tyrion “drinking himself to death” also manages to be funny. When he projectile vomits and then pours another glass of wine, well, I suppose I’ve seen that sort of thing first hand and it still amazes me that anyone can drink like that. Also, when Varys gives him the choice of staying at Illyrio’s mansion and drinking himself to death, or joining Varys to go find Dany and her dragons—the true leader the Seven Kingdoms need!—and Tyrion asks “Can I drink myself to death on the road to Meereen?” Man, every moment with Tyrion is great. I’m really excited to see him and Varys on the road, in part because…

…that doesn’t happen in the books. Not even close. Varys doesn’t leave King’s Landing, he sends Tyrion off to Pentos where he meets with Illyrio, Varys’s co-conspirator, and then Illyrio sends Tyrion off with another group of people and well, there’s a huge, huge storyline that comes out of all of this that I think might not even be in the show at all. That’s not a bad thing, mind you. Readers will know what I’m referring to, but I won’t spoil it just in case HBO does include it in the show.

Sansa and Littlefinger

Interestingly, in the Season 5 preview we also get a glimpse of Tyrion’s long-time companion, mercenary and friend Bronn—another addition to the show that makes me happy. I wonder what role he plays.

In Meereen, Dany faces (at least) two conflicts: Her dragons are out of control and one of them is missing; and the Sons of the Harpy are killing her people as the ancien regime rears its ugly, masked head. This was actually a pretty effective segment for Dany, a character whose storyline often irks me in both show and books. Yes, we once again have her naked in bed weirdly clutching the sheets over her chest (we’ve already seen her naked in the show, and it makes little sense to do this in real life so I’m not sure what the point of this exercise is to be quite honest. Oh well.) Still, it’s good to see Dany remain defiant, remain tough and hard-headed and stubborn and stupid to some degree, because her stupidity is in equal proportion to her compassion and goodness which, yes, reminds me of the Starks quite a bit. All the clever people are so ruthless.

Speaking of clever people, we get a bit of Littlefinger and Sansa in the premiere as well, and a hilarious scene with the little Lord Robin trying to swing a sword after years being spoiled rotten. I like Littlefinger even though I know he’s a villain, and I’m growing more and more fond of his and Sansa’s interactions. Their conversations about trust are always lovely. I’m particularly excited to see where Sansa’s story goes, since it never goes very far in the books. Indeed we get a lot more of Brienne looking for Sansa, which we got a tiny bit of in the season 5 premiere as well, as their paths very nearly cross.

Conclusion

In keeping with pretty much all the season premieres in Game of Thrones’ previous seasons, the season premiere largely did just two things: Remind us of what came before and begin setting the stage for things to come. Rather than start with a bang, this show often starts slow and builds momentum. I actually really like this approach, as it allows us to sidle into the events of the show without setting the stakes too high for later episodes.

Cersei

The burning of Mance Rayder is certainly a dramatic high point for the episode, but it Mance has never been a very important character as far as these things go.

As always, the show is shot beautifully, but the CGI and special effects have been ramped up once again. The dragons that confront Dany are bigger and more daunting. The statue of the harpy tumbling from the pyramid in Meereen is one of the most impressive special effects I’ve ever seen on TV. And the world remains a beautiful, terrifying, and emotionally resonant place, both in terms of its rich story and characters and its beautiful cinematography, costume design and special effects.

As I wrote earlier, I think this season is the most crucial to-date for HBO’s fantasy drama. The premiere may not have been a terribly exciting episode, but it was solid, and it gives me a lot of hope for where this season, and the broader narrative, is headed. I love that changes are coming especially to the Tyrion chapters, and I’m really curious to see how things play out at the Wall, where some of the third book’s biggest moments have yet to come."
