The man in the high castle season 1 episode 5 recap

He then informs her that Olenna Tyrell - and not Tyrion - ordered Joffrey's death. more complicated.ДЄ singed Jaime storms into Cersei's chamber to deliver the bad news.

House Frey is finished, House Tully is bouillabaisse, House Party is over, House Music muted, House Boat is scuttled, House Plant died of thirst, House Elf is shelved, House Salad wilted, House Dressing scattered to the Thousand Islands, House Red is dead, House White is corked, House Speaker is very concerned, and House Hunters are really just awful people who think the universe owes them an open-plan kitchen.ДЄs for the fates of House Baratheon and House Lannister, well, that's all about to get. Plenty of lesser houses are in similar states of disarray. Sam is still around, but House Tarly is effectively snuffed out.

Tyrion pleads on their behalf, but Dany's all 'They made their bed, now they have to fry in it,' and with a puff from her magic dragon, Randyll's a candle, and Dickon is Dickoff. Except, of course, for Randyll Tarly, Sam's dour dad, and Dickon Tarly, Sam's poorly named but excellently cheekboned brother. It's really Drogon - her hype man - whose roar sends most of the prisoners down on their knees. It's a good speech, but it convinces only a handful of soldiers. The Mother of Dragons proceeds to put a Targaryen spin on her Sermon on the Mount that's less 'Blessed are the meek' and more 'Kneel or burn, jerkwads.' The few Lannister soldiers who made it through the battle are marched up a hill to stand before Dany and Drogon. He's feeling guilty, seeing so many members of his House reduced to carbon. Tyrion surveys the blasted battlefield, which looks like Mother Courage crossed with Pompeii. Jaime is chastened by the extent of the carnage unleashed by only one of Dany's three dragons, and Bronn informs him that he doesn't plan to be around when she and her fire-breathing moppets attack Kings Landing. Turner painting, though instead of a quaintly bucolic name like 'Neapolitan Fisher Girls Surprised Bathing by Moonlight,' it'd have to be called something more like 'Riverside With Black Plumes of Smoke Rising From a Few Hundred Charred Bodies Because There's A Friggin' Dragon For Real You Guys.' Bronn pulls himself, and Jaime and Jaime's steel armor out of the river like he's gathering so many water lilies because Bronn gets tremendous strength when exposed to the rays of Westeros' yellow sun, I guess we have to tell ourselves. We open on a lovely, placid river scene you could imagine J.M.W. scooch down the Wall a bit, to Eastwatch, the castle on its easternmost edge! Woo! New location! (Look, this episode's basically setting us up for next week, so we take our thrills where we can find them.) wait! Instead of swerving back down to Oldtown, we sort of. The rumble-a in the tundra.ДЄnd I'm still predicting the Wall's gonna come a-tumbling down - there have been just way too many references to its eternal! Resolute! Steadfastness! for it not to - and there's no better time than next week's episode.Д«ut, first, this week! We zoom over the map like we always do: King's Landing, Dragonstone, Winterfell, The Wall. Expect a huge battle (and some heartbreaking casualties) between Northmen and Evil Unstoppable Skeletons. So it's likely no coincidence that next week's episode will be this season's second-to-last, historically when the show delivers its biggest payoff. ('OK, who just joined the call? Cersei, is it? Jon, maybe you can go back a few slides in the deck to make sure Cersei's on board.') That's a recipe for audience frustration, unless the show can offer up some visual candy to keep us sated. But most of the show's characters haven't seen them, so at least the next two episodes will be spent getting everyone up to speed. The central plot mechanic that'll drive us to the end of this Game of Thrones season finally reveals itself: Jon needs to prove to ally and enemy alike that the White Walkers are both real and spectacular.Д«ut, see, we the audience already know they're coming. In the Season 7 episode 'Eastwatch,' Varys (Conleth Hill) surveys the war map at Dragonstone, worried that a phalanx is about to get cut off.
