Greetings to the Unsullied (non-book) reader army and welcome home to the Wall. Time for our Monday morning quarterback session discussing and loosely analyzing the episode of night’s past.

Your chosen Unsullied leader at our frozen address goes by @OzofThrones, but if I may be honest, a man is really more interested in what you, the viewer took from Sons of the Harpy.

Unfortunately, I seem to have more questions than answers…

Game of Thrones Season 5 Episode 4 – Sons of the Harpy – Recap

Melisandre

Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss dropped a huge episode in new Game of Thrones writer Dave Hill’s lap when he was chosen for “Sons of the Harpy,” didn’t they? I’m going to consider it a friendly sort of hazing, because while it was a brutal episode for several characters, it was a juicy episode for the new guy.

Spoiler Note: This post is for those who have read the A Song of Ice and Fire series. The post and the comments section will contain spoilers! If you haven’t read the books yet, please check out our non-book-reader recap. Thanks!

Interview

Game of Thrones Interview Round-up: Toby Sebastian, Keisha Castle-Hughes, Joe Dempsie and more

Posted on by Sue the Fury

Toby Sebastian

The Dornish crew arrives, familiar faces check in, and Kit Harington hits the chat show circuit to promote his new movie in our newest interview roundup.

Toby Sebastian appears Hunger magazine sharing just how much he knows about Game of Thrones. The actor says that Trystane is “really is just in his own little bubble, caught up in his world with Myrcella” when we meet him this year, despite the tension between Dorne and the Lannisters.

Sebastian admits he doesn’t have a whole lot of info about the story as a whole, such as what Jaime Lannister may be up to.

“I’ll be completely honest with you,” he says. “I know some, but not enough. I’d like to know more. All I know is that a lot is going happen. I watched the first episode at the premiere and I was blown away, I didn’t know anything!”

Looking Forward, Game of Thrones Ep. 504: Where Are They Now and Disposable Probabilities

Happy Weekend to all lovely Crows who’ve made the wise decision on joining us at the Wall.

A man goes by @OzofThrones and you have located the annual GoT edition of “Where Are They Now.” Lucky you.

The list has been slightly trimmed due to the reemergence of Kevan, Jaqen, and Lancel Sandwich, but plenty of names remain on the “Missing Persons” of Westeros PSA. And this surely isn’t all of them.

Here’s an Unsullied guesstimate at what they might be doing, and an unscientific scale of probability on whether or not they will even return…

A Murder of Crows: “The Wars to Come,” season five, and you

Posted on by Marc N. Kleinhenz

Just in case Game of Thrones’s big return wasn’t enough – or the fact that this season is set to stray away from the source material in some pretty substantial and elongated ways – we decided to conduct something of an experiment here at the Wall and keep an open journal of first impressions right after the premiere aired. Given that a number of predictions were made for the rest of the season, and given that we’re already(!) quickly approaching the halfway mark, we thought there’d now be enough distance to start to see how close (or how far) we were from the mark.

Need even more than just prognostications? Well, how about nit-picky observations (who, me?), snappy insights, and, even, blow-by-blow responses? They all paint a rather complete picture of what “The Wars to Come” managed to achieve, specifically, and what yet awaits in the remaining seven installments, generally.
