NO ONE | GAME OF THRONES.



Arya! That's my girl!

The Waif is such a bitch. I swear to God there were some parts I got so frightened of her running skills. That bitch wouldn't rest! The fact that Arya parkoured right after being stabbed in the guts meh the heck out of me. I was hoping she wouldn't tear herself apart. But those Daredevil days paid off. Arya killed the Waif the same way she was defeated. That scene when she pulled out Needle under the rag lit up hope in me. And when she cut the candle in half lit everything even brighter. 

"What do we say to the God of Death?"
"Not today."

Syrio didn't come back. Apparently, that puzzle piece was weak. It must be Arya to kill the Waif so this chasing madness would make sense. Admit it, Jaqen H'ghar kind of wanted to see Arya alive. The girl is not no one. The girl is Arya Stark and she's coming back home. 

I respect your killing enthusiasm. 

Blackfish was a brave man. I agree that his death was meaningless and unnecessary as the deaths of honor in this series have always been. Jaime Lannister respected him. At least that's what I could feel from his command to see Blackfish and how gently he reacted when knowing the old guy was dead fighting. I also like the secret friendship of Brienne and Jaime. Mostly because I relate to it and the whole thing gave me a sense of humanity. Brienne's failure doesn't stir anything. War is coming anyway. Speaking of war, Jaime clearly had a way with words. He took over the castle so easily, yet didn't forget to mention his love for Cersei in the speech. Wouldn't it be better if he just focused on his duty and screw that woman off? By the way, Lady Stoneheart will not be brought back. Thank God.

Cersei, poor lady. There's no trial by combat, meaning no Cleganebowl. Cersei was aware of caches of Wildfire stuffed under King's Landing. I hope she'll burn the whole thing down. The Mountain's strength, or should I say 'senseless loaf of meat', wasn't impressive to my eyes. Even if Cleganebowl happened, I wouldn't be too excited. However, I did like how the Hound let loose. He joined the men giving his character an interesting development. 

Nice color palette. 

Tyrion. Seriously, this guy gotta let go of trying to befriend with Grey Worm and the curly girl. The first time was good. The second was shit. Finally, the masters made a move. What now? Will Khaleesi fight them or destroy everything? Because, you know, Westeros is waiting. Also, I wonder how the Greyjoys will meet Khaleesi, how their appearance will fit in the Meeren's story pace. They have ships. Not enough, but their uncle has some, too. 

Varys left. My dude spoiled me with something goes like this: 
It was revealed that Aegon, son of Rhaegar and Elia Martell, was alive. The baby that the Mountain smashed into the wall wasn't Aegon. He was switched before. So Lord Jon Connington and Varys helped Aegon escape. And he's coming back for his claim of the throne. However, some people think he's not the real Aegon, but someone Varys planted, hence the fAegon.
So.. yeah? I mean.. I still have this question: "Who is Aegon??"

I've just seen the preview of epsidoe 9. Oh. My. God. The battle is happening. What would Jon and Sansa do with that number of men? Ramsay's army was huge. A miracle needs to spark. The Battle of Bastards is going to be just like the episode when Jon defended the Wall. I will stop guessing and note down "bringing popcorn" next Monday. Let this sink, guys. Let this sink. There's still so much waiting for us.

FIRST EPISODE | GAME OF THRONES.

I. love. Arya Stark.

Game of Thrones is coming baby!

What I wrote before the show:

So I live in Vietnam, that means I can watch GOT at 9 a.m and 9 p.m on Monday, today. I miss it this morning so I'm definitely watching this very evening with Hedi, Yves and Simon, along with their mother Miu Miu. My stash is simple, chocolate ice-cream with chips (since I had some day-li-cious chips at Tadioto yesterday). Ok, let's cut to the chase. I want Jon Snow dead. 100% people I know insisted on his survival after being stabbed like meatloaf, but my bet is on his death. I want him dead. When it comes down to my favorite series, I want every character of my interest to die, even the one I still don't like much - Jon Snow. That includes Arya Stark, Jaime Lannister, Varys, and Cercei, which seems impossible. Hate me, I love the Lannisters and I don't worship Tyrion. He was built in a way that should steal our sympathy with his mistreat and win our heart with his intelligence. However, to me, Tyrion was born with nothing but advantages. Through five seasons he has received too many favors falling out of nowhere and secretly-not-so-secretly become the star of the show. I want him dead. Mother of Dragons is cool, she's winning even when she's down. Again, I don't understand why season after season, she's still stuck with the slaves. She's literally doing nothing to approach Westeros in spite of her constant repetition in doing so. She won't die, though. Littlefinger is clever but his cleverness is less than Varys'. What he lacks is candid. When there are two guys who are both smart and rich in networking, the one with the heart lives. Dear journal, the world we're living in and the world they're living in are fair. Sansa Stark is going to be huge. That lady has been growing since day one. It's only a matter of time for her to kickstart and rule. That time starts this season. I have no comment on The Red Woman. I also look forward to Brienne of Tarth, Bran Stark, Sam and Gilly. Before I leave this post half-finished here, I have one small question to ask: what the hell happened to Gendry and Rickon? One sailed the whole sea and got lost? And one ran away with the wild woman and.. got lost, too? There, I'll leave it for this season to answer.

What I wrote after the show:

1. Jon Snow's life is still under question.
2. Sansa Stark and Brienne of Tarth are now a team. The part Sansa said ".. you'll have meat and wine on your table.." reminded me of steak even though I was having chicken, fries, ice cream and coke.
3. Mother of Dragons will not be raped after being captured, probably will have to spend the rest of her life in a temple for the widows, which means she will be rescued.
4. Tyrion walked around like nothing could harm him. Again.
5. The king of Dorne is dead, so is his son.
6. Arya Stark is blind and now fights like Dare Devil. I think she's upgrading.
7. The Red Woman's real age is at least a hundred. She is freaking old.

This episode is a warm-up step. I hope Jaime Lannister will kill The Sparrow. And, the leader of the white ghost looked so good that he will be my next favorite after Arya. Again, I still think Jon Snow is dead, at least in this season.
