Really? I’ve been given the incredibly daunting task of revisiting the jam-packed penultimate Game of Thrones season 5 episode? Guys, this is a really hard one to take – so much happens! Is there anyone out there to help me? Bueller? Bueller??? Not only is this episode so full of iconic moments, but it also follows a universally praised episode (“Hardhome“), and precedes a never-ending water cooler of an episode (“Mother’s Mercy”).

The Dothraki are making a big comeback on Game of Thrones, as Daenerys will discover soon. Emilia Clarke and Joe Naufahu tease season 6 in the latest interviews, with the khaleesi and the new khal on the block discussing their characters.

“He’s Dothraki, so he’s a bit of a brute,” Naufahu says of his new character, Khal Moro, talking to the Hollywood Reporter. “But he’s also quite loyal. He follows traditions very strictly. He’s loyal to the living, and he’s loyal to the dead as well. He’s not as much of a chauvinist as some of the other Dothraki.” Naufahu apparently confirmed to THR that this loyalty to the dead “should have viewers thinking about Drogo” and that “there’s a connection there.”

Game of Thrones Memory Lane 508: Hardhome

Game of Thrones has had more than its fair share of riveting battle sequences, marrying dramatic weight with tremendous production values – but, even more impressively, it’s also had a good run of battle episodes. “Blackwater” (episode 209) is a taut, all-encompassing narrative rollercoaster, changing in a heartbeat the characters’ fates – and the larger tides of war – several times throughout its hour run-time. “The Watchers on the Wall” (409) is a rough, never-ending siege, both literally and figuratively, that may not pack the same gut-punching plot wallop but which contains its own heart-wrenching, character-based moments.
