What I Saw: Game of Thrones, Season 5, Episode 9, The End of The Innocence

[chatchien]

Just a Girl and Her Dragon. Together and Alone in the Wide Open Sky.

Enough of the sentimentality, now we go to see the effects of real heinous human relationships and their horror.

What in the Names of the Seven Gods, and I don't remember any of them but the Mother, there is a Mother. What in the Name of the Mother Loving Goddess caused what happened to our Princess Shireen of the House of Baratheon?



Burned at the Stake! Burned!!!! At the Stake, by her own Mother and Father!!!

I refuse to post a screen cap of that harrowing piece of hell.



So let us just watch American Pharoah burn up the track at Belmont and Win the Triple Crown.

We must find the good in something, because there is nothing but evil in the Stannis camp. Stannis orders the guards who allowed our cruel pal, Ramsay and his twenty good men (are they like the Bolton Marines?) to burn up his supplies so that he is stuck in the middle of winter and midway between Castle Black and Winterfell with nary a bite to eat but the burned up horses, to be hung. At least They (the guards not the horses) got a good death which is more than Stannis gave his not-so-beloved, boy I fell for that false father-daughter relationship, Princess Shireen.

Stannis is the Jim Bob Duggar of Westeros.



Yep, that is Princess Shireen burning like Joan of Arc in the background and that is the closest I care to come to that. Stannis threw his daughter into the inferno for his own ambition and pride. It is All about him and his thirst for Power.



And Cranky is the Michelle Duggar of Westeros. I don't think that she is all there, but what is there never stays very long and she will parrot and squawk the Fire God Cult's talking points for Stannis. It's that damn Liberal Media and those black Ravens that killed Princess Shireen, not Mom and Pop. It is never their fault. Get that straight.

OK, now it is the Boltons and the Baratheons in a death match in the Snows of Winter. F*ck 'em both.

I was on the Sansa Death Watch, but little did I know, it should have been the Princess Shireen's Death Watch.

Stannis, you are now on MY LIST or Ayra's LIST, whoever gets to you first.

And now my eulogy song for the Princess Shireen of the Vile House of Baratheon, it is a little ditty sung to the tune of Summertime by Gershwin.

Wintertime, and the Burning is Easy,
Horses are burnin' and the snow is high
Oh your daddy's ambitious and your mama is cranky
So hush little Shireen, your burnin' time is nigh.

Such a sad, sad song. But I do love Kathleen Battle. My Diva!

And Now for A Good Daddy

Back in Dorne, King Donny is forgiving and forgetting everybody and the House of Lannister.



I am starting to like Donny, but knowing how all this goes, he probably beat his never-seen wife to death and lost the use of his legs by too much masturbating to animal porn. It is not just the eye sight that is affected by that.

"Shut the F*ck Up, Donnie!"

And I do believe that is Walter Sobchak behind him, "Who scheduled the tournament during the seven days of Yom Kippur?"

Donny is the Dude, the Big Martell in Dorne. And Prince Tristan is going to be on the Small Council at King's Landing. Watch out for the marmosets and Sparrows in King's Landing, Tristan. They are Nihlists.

Adventures in the Cockle Trade

Our Arya is diverted from her assasination of the Insurance Guy with a Speech Defect, by the sight of new arrivals from Westeros in the Bravoos harbor. Speaking of that harbor, it finally came to me,



that Knight in the Harbor with the broken sword is the spitting image, no not really but close enough, to the Lady in the Harbor in New York City. Bravoos is like New York City and the Bank of Bravoos is like Wall Street! Yeah, it took me five seasons to figure that one out.

But back to commerce in Bravoos, Ayra is in the Big Sleepless City at the top of the Oyster and Clams and Cockles Shell heap, when she spies someone on her List.



At first, I though it was the Tyrell guy who can sing just like Bronn. Why aren't these singing guys earning an honest living by singing their dishonest hearts out on the streets or the theater? Why are they supressing their joy and talent and being pricks? Who knows?

But it is the Singing Tyrell's head guard, whatever his name is. He is on THE LIST.

And Ayra is plotting her moves. Will it be the Needle or the Poison? Will she be the pervert's next little girl? Jeez, the Duggars are everywhere in this episode. I just hate that. Why are they getting the PR?

And the Big Fight...

And now for the biggie, in the fighting pits of Mereen,



Danys and her entourage are at the games. They are pretty boring---the fights in the pits.

But first let us look at Danys' sigil, the three headed dragon. And where are those dragons, Danys?



Well one of them is around her neck. She has a dragon and flame necklace. Love the jewelry Danys. The outfit is by Janelle Monae, she is loving the capes and skirts, my fashion diva!

As I said, the pit fighting is boring but the Royal Box Pavilion fighting is the one to watch.



Darrio is not only a Pit Fighter but he can stick the dagger in the Mereen Husband? Fiancé? And Danys is loving the action.

Where was Mereen Indeterminate Relationship to Danys early in that scene? Was he getting the Bronze Mask Boys ready for their assault? If so, grave miscalculation Mereen Indeterminate Guy. Looks like he is going to his grave after the attack on Danys and her entourage.



Jorah is Back!!!! Can't keep him from stalking Danys. And Look! He is touching her!

What is going to happen now? Is Danys going to get greyscale and run away with Jorah to Valeryia and stay stoned with him in the ruins of their Love and Devotion? It is now a possibility.



Is Danys accepting her fate? Valor McGilley and all that? Or is she ESPing Pinot Noir?

Pinot Noir was hanging out in the Dothraki Sea, smoking some prime Dothraki weed and eying a prime Dothraki horse as an after smoke munchie, when Mom called.

"Dammit! I have a life! Why is she always nagging at me!" thinks Pinot Noir as he takes his last drag on the Dothraki toke. "My Mom called, I gotta go," says Pinot Noir to his imaginary buddies because his Mom has his real life brother and sister, Kermit and Red Sovieteva, grounded in a Mereen dungeon.



Pinot Noir shows up in the fighting pit show and sets the fights on fire. He rescues Mom from the Bronze Masks Boys! And what does Mom say to him when she sees him after all his good deeds?



Danys: "It is about time. What is that smell? Have you been smoking? Let me check your breath. I knew it! That stuff will rot your brain! How many times have I told you that?"

Pinot Noir: "Whatever, Moms. Chill. I am here. Stop pickin' on me!"

Danys: "I need a ride out of here. Let's go and no speeding!"

Pinot Noir: "I know how to fly right. What a nag!"

Danys: "Respect your Mother. And straighten up and fly right!"



And off they go. Mother and Son.

Pinot Noir: "You are going to love my imaginary friends, Mom. They are so Real."

Dansy: "We'll see. Stop slouching. Hold your neck up straight."



What about your entourage, Danys? Do the remainder of the Bronze Mask Boys get them? I guess that she doesn't care about that.

One last comment, remember that Mereen Lady with the Flower Pot on her head?



She was at the fighting pits to watch the show. I was wrong, that wasn't a flower pot on her head. It was a Juice Pot on her head. She has a straw in it and is sucking down that Mereen Juice. Fighting is thirsty work and watching the fighting in the Pits is even thirstier. And that dragon! Best fight ever in the Mereen Fighting Pits!
