game of thrones season 8 episode 5 recap

Tywin even served as Aerys' hand, but relations between the two eventually soured as Tywin's power grew, and Aerys became highly paranoid about people trying to depose him.Įventually, Tywin would take arms with the Starks and the Baratheons in Robert's Rebellion, and gave his daughter in marriage to Robert Baratheon. The two families - the Lannisters and the Targaryens - were actually pretty close, and Tyrion's father Tywin Lannister was a good friend to Danaerys' father, Aerys. She asks Tyrion why she shouldn't just kill him, the way his family killed hers.

The episode opens in Mereen, with Tyrion and Jorah being questioned by Danaerys at her court. That didn't really leave much time for the rest of the story to develop, but we had a few short sequences in Winterfell, Braavos, Mereen and King's Landing, setting things up for the last two episodes of the season. Game of Thrones S05E08 is titled Hardhome, and spends a lot of time North of the Wall, with a long action sequence taking place in a Wildling settlement. We go beyond just the events in the show, and also look at how it compares to the books, and guess at what is coming next, so there are a lot of spoilers here. If you couldn't catch today's episode and are worrying about what you missed, we've got you covered with our spoiler rich recap. The new season is being simulcast in India, but 6.30AM isn't really convenient for most people. Episode 8 put a lot of focus on the action North of the Wall, possibly to remind us viewers that there are bigger things at play than the largely petty motivations of the characters we're spending time with. Last week's episode - The Gift - had served as a reminder that this is a story that does not reward characters for being good that justice rarely comes to those who deserve it. Game of Thrones Season 5 Episode 8 - Hardhome - just finished airing and it was one of the most action packed episodes we've seen this season.
