Game of Thrones Episode 5.03: “High Sparrow”

[chavalah.livejournal.com]

The plot moves ever on. I wrote when first viewing this episode that it seemed like the ladies were into political catfighting and the dudes were into authentic religious expression. Perhaps, save, for Tyrion, who is more interested in politics, and comes across a priestess of the Red god claiming that Daenerys is the savior. In Cersei’s case it seems she might be turning to a religious fanatic as a way to deal with her problems, Margaery being chief among them.

In the north, both Jon and Sansa face questions about avenging the Stark name, and what their next moves should be. Arya’s actually facing a similar conundrum, more indirectly. Poor Tommen is unknowingly stuck between his mother and wife. Poor Janos Slynt is stuck between a rock and a hard place. :P And we’re introduced to more new faces, some more surprising than others.
