But he wasn't 100% loyal, he didn't reveal his plans or the KL plot against her or the reach of Varys. I think that is one way the book was better in juxtaposing Barristan vs Mormont. Barristan basically throws himself at her feet confessing his faults, Mormont hides his hoping she never finds out. I'm really kind of surprised to find so many Jorah/Dany shippers here. He's lucky she didn't have him fed to Drogon.

I'd be more inclined to sympathize with her viewing Jorah betraying her brother being a "fault" if Dany herself had not allowed her husband to melt her brother's face off. Kind of illustrated her own lack of loyalty, no? So the reaction she had that Jorah wasn't loyal to that psycho seems--extreme. I mean, yes, I'll concede it's a good point he didn't reveal the reach of Varys' spy network (I can see why that would be very troubling). BUT she keeps a merc around who cut his old captain's throat. I would think there is a punishment between "banishment" and "act like nothing happened"--After she sent him into the sewers in the book, I figured she'd just be using him for shit/dangerous work until she could bring herself to trust him again.

This misses the point. Dany was mad at Jorah for betraying her, putting her unborn child at risk. Betraying HER, not her brother. In the books it is even more clear, as Jorah still reported on her from Quarth. She WAS lenient by letting him live. This is Westeros, not a hippie commune.

We don't know they both died.

And it doesn't matter, if his champion dies then it's a sign of his guilt.

I am fairly sure the mountain is dead, he got him in the chest and some other slices... if he was just feigning he would not have rolled back over after he jaxed the guy.

Tyrion should shout out OH LORD OF LIGHT! And rez o matic him lol

Yeah, I mean, GRRM never does anything you wouldn't expect.

I assume you thought he was dead just before he reached up and exploded the princes head too am I correct?


We've seen no proof he's dead yet and until we do, assume he's alive.

Even though I've read the books and knew how Oberyn was going to die, it was incredibly hard to watch. His screams as he's getting his eyes gouged out were chilling.

No I knew he was going to do something, I figured something more non-standard than the "I am down, but ill leg sweep you and roll on top of you" move from the 80's action movies- I knew the prince was dead the moment the scene started when tyrion walked out... while it technically would have been GRRM to NOT have the prince die- as I don't know why people are shocked he is following a pattern...a patter that is just not the NORMAL pattern so people think its not predictable but this just shows it is. There is probably some ratio in his head X people for Y Lannisters so a few more gatta get offed before cerci or tywin get smoked.

I am most likely going to wiki-spoiler it for myself, not details but just flow.

Dragon bitch is dead to me now- having jorah leave so easy like that just after she expressly stated he was her most trusted advisor friend confidant bla bla etc... I understand she is pissed and that the most trusted hurts the most when they mess up... I hope she is smart nuff to have someone trail him and see what he does and how he responds etc.

Agreed. He was much more likable in the show too. I think they wrote him this way because they wanted to stab viewers in the heart before they give them a hand job in episode 10.

The guys that did the special effects for this deserve a medal, that looked pretty brutally realistic.

Tyrion's look of disgust + knowing he was now dead was awesome too.

So it's gonna be the siege of the wall for ep9 with what looks like 70ish percent of their CG budget for the season. Then it'll either be Stannis swooping in or Lady Stoneheart (unlikely imo) at the end of ep9. Ep10 will have to be Tywin's big father's day surprise but it'll also have to be the wrap-up of this amazing Hound+Arya show. GRRM has admitted that the Arya's departure from Westeros is the "spiritual" ending for asoiaf so I'm betting the scene with the hound letting her go is gonna be THE big emotional load-bearer of the season. I know I didn't expect them to carry the Hound's rehabilitation anywhere near as well as they did this season. If anything it's proof that they should make a Dunk+Egg spinoff since GRRM and DnD are all character vignette whores.

Didn't Lena Headey tweet some picture of stones in the shape of a heart? She teased Oberyn getting his eyes smashed in via twitter too so that's like her pattern or whatever.

Basically, I want to believe...

Was Battle of Blackwater the entire episode? I can't remember. If so, then I imagine the entirety of episode 9 will be the battle at the Wall.

Maybe it is just an elaborate subterfuge where they expect Ser Barristan (or someone else) to be a spy. So they send Jorah away, he makes his move, and then Jorah comes back and was like "I have been here all along!". Then again, maybe not.

you do realize that jorah literally introduces barristan to her as a former member of robert baratheon's, and Aery's before him's kingsguard right? They were upfront about it completely unlike jorah lol

Or maybe she really was being generous. As a ruler, you can only really "trust" a few people. If one of them stabs you in the back, you need to get rid of them. In most cases, that means killing them. But she was kind in allowing him to live, but flee the continent.

Tywin's death in the books made me cheer inside. Hell I'm pretty sure I actually said "OH FUCK YES" out loud.

I'm not sure it'll have the same reaction for viewers because Charles Dance and his presence on the show is so awesome. The show loses a lot without him, I think. They should replay him melting down Ice in the intro.
