2x05 "The Ghost of Harrenhal" Episode Discussion (Airs April 29th)



Cat has to flee and Littlefinger act quickly after the Baratheon brothers' enmity comes to an end. At the capital, Tyrion finds out about Joffrey's defensive plans as well as about some secret weapon that could be used to defend the city against attack. Theon starts his quest to prove to his father that he is Ironborn and not a Stark lackey. In Harrenhal, Arya finds help from a surprising source while north of the Wall, the Night's Watch make a stand against the wildlings at an ancient fortress, the Fist of the First Men.

Written by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss; directed by David Petrarca.

Great episode!

Was not expecting Renly to be killed. Felt bad for Brienne but like the new alliance she has formed with Cat.

Jaqen is pretty interesting. I really like his scenes with Arya, and he's gonna kill who ever she picks!

Dany please be careful she's to trusting with everyone she comes in contact with. It's always nice when she playing with her dragons though.

Bran just get's more awesome each episode! He has really been doing well as Lord of Winterfell. Nice to see Rickon as well.

He's very different in the book...

I think now I might ship Margaery and Littlefinger a little...

i think it was the best episode of season 2 so far

it included the right portion of tension, funny scenes and characters. only robb and jaime were missing, but in this episode i'm okay with that. and i'm really glad/reliefed that there were no brutal or wasted sex scenes.

poor renly, i really liked him. again a main character died...i don't want to know who's next...

I didn't especially like this ep because it was too slow for my taste. I did like that Jon is finally going to be a ranger and OMG I just saw the promo and it's really exciting!!!

I'm glad Brianna is now with Cat. Cat deserves to be protected - especially Bran. So the former Stark stableboy is going to seize Winterfell and betray Robb. That's going to be a very interesting battle.

So it's true - Bran is a psychic. He said water flooded into Winterfell. It's obvious who he's referring to.

Loved Tyrion as usual

Really enjoyed this episode!

All of the Tyrion & Lancel scenes make me laugh.

Jaqen & Arya's scene was fantastic, exactly how I pictured it. & the last scene with him holding up his finger...!

Loved all the stuff beyond the wall, the scenery is BREATHTAKING.

I felt like Renly's death should have come at the end of the ep to make more of an impact though .

Agreed it was the perfect balance

I loved the episode... Loving Tyrion even more this season... He's witty and all.

Loved Arya's scenes as usual... giving Gendry advice on practicing with a sword. And the scene where she picked one of the people she wanted dead. Jaqen mentions always knowing she was a girl. Wonder just how many people knew and didn't say anything.
