A fast recap and impressions of Game of Thrones s02e05


After another week, I'm back again, sorry for the long time. :)

I'm here with episode 15, which title is: The ghost of Harrenhal. Very spooky title :D

Let's make a quick recap, shall we?

Our first scene is at Storm's End, where Renly the Gay and Catelyn Stark are having a conversation with each other, but not too long, because last episode's awesome newborn shadow baby (if you took a close look in the mirror, whose shape has it? :)  ) stabs Renly in the chest, Gethin Anthony leaves the series (CGI was breath-taking again, the shadow knife and the squirting blood looked amazing). Two kingsguards rush into the tent, but Brienne chops them down like they were just onions :D. Cat and Brienne should escape Storm's End, because they're the suspected killers of the younger Baratheon-brother.

Question in the brackets :)


 Stannis the Ham is approaching Storm's end with his fleet, Littlefinger convinces the Tyrell-siblings to go back to Highgarden, because Renly's bannermen will join Stannis, and that's no good thing for House Tyrell.

King's Landing, Tyrion and her "dear sister" got the news, that Renly the Gay was killed, and Renly's bannermen joined Stannis's army. The dwarf warns Cersei too, that Stannis the Ham has now the biggest army in Westeros, but dumb Queen regent doesn't give a single fock. Uncle Imp wants to know things about the war preparations too, but Cersei ins't in the mood to tell him the things. But fortunately, we blackmailed last episode our dear Jaime-replacement called Lancel Lannister, and he's giving us informations like the best snitchers. And the promise at the end of the scene made me laugh :D

Meanwhile, the Ham arrived at Storm's End. His right hand ( to be precise, his shorter-with-some-fingerbones-right hand :D ) Davos is requesting Stannis , that they should leave the red priestess maegi Asshaii Melisandre at Dragonstone while attacking King's Landing. (Looks like Davos got scared like hell at the birth of the shadowbaby)Stannis accepts after a bit arguing Davos's request. The name Blackwater bay was mentioned first time in this season. (remember this name, awesomeness will happen here :D )

In the next short scene, Bronn and Tyrion are going to wisit the alchemist guild. On their way, they hear a preacher ho is shouting out "rumors" about the whole Lannister-family (demon monkey :D I almost died from laughing when I heard it. Btw, what's gonna happen in King's Landing, when we have such people on the streets? I know the answer already... :)  )

Let's head to Pyke where super-traitor Theon Greyjoy gets his single ship, the Sea Bitch. The crew of the ship is a bit cocky, Theon needs to prove. We meet a new character called Dagmer Cleftjaw, who fraternizes with Theon easily. Theon says him, that he is disappointed about his task, but Cleftjaw calms him down, and tells him, that he can come out of this task more better than he imagines it. Theon is richer with a smile and a new buddy.

At Harrenhal, Arya is doing her job as a cupbearer very good, and as Tywin asks she about her origin, she solves the situation really good. On the way to bring water, she meets with Jaqen H'ghar (a Lannister armor? Come on....) He tells her, that she owes the Red God with three deaths. Arya wants to give a hard task for the Lorathi man, but he accepts her decision about taking out the Tickler. (Seriously? The Tickler? He had tasks in the 3rd book! Okay, Weese and Chiswyck weren't cast, she had to pick somebody...But, btw: who will be the second name, if Weese isn't in the series too? I'm curious...)


Let's wisit the Night's watch, whose man arrived at the Fist of the First men. Sam is real fascinated, Jon considers the landscape, and Dolorous Edd.....well, he is just being Dolorous Edd on his funny, sarcastic way :D (like this guy's jokes :D )



In the catacombs of King's Landing, Tyrion meets pyromancer Hallyne, who shows us the "substance". (what a nice greenish colour, i cant wait to see it bur.......khmm, burried away for ethernity :D). The Imp gets surprised (and me too) after seeing the endless floor full of jugs with wildfire. 
What an awesome colour :)
 In Qarth, Daenerys is teaching Dr..(fuuuu, mustn't spoiler!), i mean, his dragon the spell "Dracarys". The small CGI creature learns quickly and gulps the roasted flesh down. At some kind of square, Kovarro and an other dothraki are acting very funny at a golden peacock-statue. ( don't misunderstand me, I'm no racist, but this scene reminds me actually on an existing folk...sorry, it's a sad, but true story :S ) BUT old geezer Pyat Pree arrives, and shows us, that he is very professional in maths ( HE'S ACTUALLY MIRRORING HIMSELF AROUND AN INVISIBLE AXIS!!! What a nerd! :D ) Quaithe, the shadowbinder makes her first appearance in the series , and says Jorah, that it's better to be careful.)
Looks like Cat and Brienne managed o get away from Storm's End. Brienne pledges her allegiance to Lady Stark, and she accepts that pledge. ( This is a beginning of something interesting...)

At Winterfell, the smallest Stark, Rickon is bored to death, and is cracking some nuts.( If there gonna be a theathre play about Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, please, cast Rickon for the Nutcracker!) The man with the funny beard (ser Rodrick) arrives and tells Bran, that Torrhen's square is under siege. Bran commands him to take 200 men with him to hold the lines. Later, Bran tells Osha that he had a weird dream: the ocean came to Winterfell, and people drowned in it, ser Rocrick too. ( what could this dream mean... :D )


Meanwhile, the most awesome ranger of Eastwatch, the Bear Grylls of Westeros, Qhorin Halfhand arrives at the Fist. He notices a campfire far away, and plans a surprise, silent ambush on the people at it. (you know, like a ninja) He needs brave men for this task, so Lord Commander allows Jon to go with Halfhand along with Stonesnake and some other people.


Mr. Halfhand
 Back to our tropical paradise Qarth, where Xaro Xoan Daxos plans to give Dany half of his goods, so she can buy an army, horses and ships to go back to Westeros. He asks only one thing for it: to marry him. Dany tells this to her advisor, but he says, that it's dangerous to believe in him. He offers Dany, that he will search a good ship and a captain for her. 

And our last scene, between the dragonfire-melted walls of Harrenhal. ( btw, did you notice, that there were no boobs and no sex in this episode? :O What's happening? :D )
Arya is watching Gendry at work, when a scream interrupts their conversation. They're going over to see what happened, and guess who is laying on the ground dead? Yes, the Tickler. Arya is shorter with a dead, and she glimpses Jaqen,who is watching her from the walls of the castle. She realizes, that the Lorathi is serious, and she shouldn't waste her two remaining deaths for weaklings.


The man has killed one. A girl has two more deaths.

Thanks for your patience, hope you liked it :)
