Game of Thrones 5x01 'The War to Come' TV TALK

Another day, another season, another mind-blowing plot!
This episode was a great start to the season and there are many things that I just can't wait to see grace my screen!
Each season gets better and better and, despite rising expectations, they still manage to surpass all of them.

SPOILERS AHEAD- SPOILERS AHEAD- SPOILERS AHEAD- SPOILERS AHEAD- SPOILERS AHEAD
Starting in Essos, we had Tyrion arriving in Pentos and.... immediately getting drunk (I knew there was a reason why I loved his character). He decides to go with Varys to Meereen to meet Daenerys and I'm so excited!!! Dany and Tyrion are my two favourite characters and they'd be such a formidable team- Khaleesi would be unstoppable with Tyrion's wisdom at her side.

Because Daenerys needs a bit of help. A new threat- the Sons of the Harpy- killed one of the Unsullied and we need to get to the bottom of it. Dany has a bit of sexy time with Daario where he tries to persuade her to re-open the fighting pits. I do like how Daario treats her- like a human instead of a Queen. He's honest and blunt with her which is nice to watch.
Daenerys is also realising that her dragons are out of control and are throwing hissy-fits for being locked up.... I hate to say 'I told you so' but..... I knew that locking them up would only make things worse.
Over to Westeros, we have wildling drama at the Wall (nothing unusual there, then).
Stannis wants the wildlings to take back Winterfell (for once I agree with Stannis) but Mance Rayder refuses to bend the knee and gets a death sentence because of it. He's set to be burnt alive but merciful Jon Snow shoots him with an arrow so Mance doesn't look weak in front of everyone..... it made Jon sure as heck look weak but we'll brush over that.
Meanwhile in King's Landing, we have a benefit to Tywin's death.... Cersei doesn't have to marry Loras!! I'm sure that's a lot more of a relief to Loras than it is to Cersei. Tywin has a funeral and Cersei has an argument with Jaime about him letting Tyrion go.... trouble in paradise?
We're also introduced to a new religious fanatic group called the Sparrow that are no doubt going to cause some drama in the future.
And finally, we have Baelish.... and I love the guy. He's attempting to sword-train Robin.... key word: attempting. After that epic failure, Baelish and Sansa begin heading west and now that Sansa's dyed her hair and wears black, her and Baelish look like they're wearing matching couple outfits..... I don't know what Baelish has planned but he's always got something good up his sleeve.

Thanks for reading! Feel free to comment your thoughts. Stay amazing!
