| 1. | At the start of the episode, someone is prepping for a big speech. Who is it? | ||
| Daenerys Targaryen has a conquering hero speech ready for another land of slavers | |||
|
|
Grey Worm the Unsullied will be speaking about freedom | ||
| Jamie Lannister will be defending his brother in a court of law | |||
| Tyrion Lannister will be defending himself in a court of law | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Grey Worm also has a crush. He's going to need the name of Tywin Lannister's sword maker to act on his feelings, though. |
|||
| 2. | It's not that the slaves of Meereen are utterly against the idea of rebellion. It's just that they lack... | ||
| Clothing. Nobody wants to fight in the nude. Important stuff can get sliced off. | |||
| Courage. Life is a slave is horrible but death is even worse. | |||
| Numbers. The slaves are outnumbered three to one. | |||
|
|
Weapons. With those, they could kill the masters. | ||
|
By way of explanation.....
Grey Worm provides them with the pointy objects they need. To be fair, they don't have a lot of clothing, either. This is Game of Thrones, after all. |
|||
| 3. | With Meereen liberated, Khaleesi's final decision is what to do with the masters. What is their punishment? | ||
| Banishment to the surrounding desert...sans food or water. | |||
| Death by dragonfire | |||
| Death by guillotine | |||
|
|
Nailed by hand to crosses | ||
|
By way of explanation.....
Khaleesi is so tough on crime that even Texans are like, "Dayam!" |
|||
| 4. | How many masters are punished via Crucifixion? | ||
| "One. One should be enough to make a point." | |||
| 100, the entirety of the high council. | |||
|
|
163, the same amount as the number of children crucified to scare her away. | ||
| All of them. | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
And you thought her black dragon was the vicious one. |
|||
| 5. | During the episode, who does Jamie first ask about the guilt of Tyrion Lannister? | ||
| Cersei Lannister | |||
|
|
Sellsword Bronn | ||
| Squire Podrick Payne | |||
| Tyrion Lannister | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
He asks but not before Bronn pimp slaps Jamie with his own gold hand. Only after then does Jamie work up the nerve to ask his brother. |
|||
| 6. | Littlefinger tells his captured prisoner/hopefully future girlfriend that he would "risk everything to get what I want". Sansa asks what it is that he wants. What is his reply? | ||
|
|
Everything | ||
| The Iron Throne | |||
| The Spider caught in his web | |||
| Tywin Lannister's head on his wall | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Littlefinger is the type of jerk who tells the genie in the bottle that he wants infinite wishes. |
|||
| 7. | A new guy shows up at The Wall and proves that he can fight. He says that his name is Locke but we know him as the dude who... | ||
|
|
cut off Jamie Lannister's hand | ||
| kidnapped Theon Greyjoy | |||
| killed Craster | |||
| neutered Theon Greyjoy | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Jon Snow is in trouble. That dude is a friend to the Boltons, who have already betrayed/slain a couple of Starks. You know, there aren't many characters who are enemies of the Starks *and* the Lannisters. |
|||
| 8. | Cersei Lannister wants somebody killed this week. Who is it? | ||
| Cersei Lannister, who is contemplating suicide for the second time during the series | |||
| Margaery Tyrell, who does not deserve to call herself a Lannister | |||
|
|
Sansa Stark, the "murderous little bitch" | ||
| Tyrion Lannister, the "creature who murdered our son" | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Poor Sansa just cannot catch a break. Question: is getting assassinated by Cersei better or worse than being held captive by Littlefinger? |
|||
| 9. | Margaery Tyrell has learned something from her grandmother. Who does she sneak in to visit in the middle of the night? | ||
| Cersei Lannister, who needs to know Margaery had nothing to do with Joffrey's death | |||
| Jamie Lannister, who everybody thinks is single | |||
| Oberyn Martell, the man with the grudge against all the Lannisters | |||
|
|
Tommen Baratheon, jailbait and future king of the realm | ||
|
By way of explanation.....
Don't get the wrong idea. She pets Tommen's kitty, not the other way around. |
|||
| 10. | Tommen isn't the total jerk that his older brother proved to be. To wit, Tommen has an adorable pet kitty named... | ||
| Cutesy Wutesy | |||
| Mister Snuggles | |||
|
|
Ser Pounce | ||
| Whiskers McFuzzy | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Has anybody started a Ser Pounce fan page yet? I will totally like it on FB if you do. |
|||
| 11. | A touching scene occurs between Brienne of Tarth and Jamie Lannister. What gift(s) does he provide her? | ||
| I'll be blunt. It's sex stuff. | |||
| news of Arya Stark's location | |||
| news of Sansa Stark's location | |||
|
|
a sword and armor | ||
|
By way of explanation.....
The sword was originally Ned Stark's before Tywin melted it down for Jamie. In this manner, Ned's sword will continue to protect his children. |
|||
| 12. | Man, naming swords is all the rage in Westeros. What does Brienne choose as the name for her new weapon of Valyrian steel? | ||
| Kingslayer | |||
| Legacy | |||
|
|
Oathkeeper | ||
| Valorous | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Oathkeeper is obviously also the name of the episode, so I think it's safe to say that this story arc is important. |
|||
| 13. | Before Podrick leaves as Brienne's new squire, he is gifted something from Tyrion. What is it? | ||
| Knighthood in the King's Guard | |||
|
|
Tyrion's axe from the Blackwater | ||
| Tyrion's favorite books | |||
| Tyrion's personal journals | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
As we know, Lannisters always pay their debts. The theme is subtlety driven home through Brienne and Podrick in this episode. |
|||
| 14. | Jon Snow has very little family left these days. He has deduced that which member of his family should be at Craster's Keep? | ||
| Arya Stark | |||
|
|
Bran Stark | ||
| Sansa Stark | |||
| Theon Greyjoy | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Amusingly, he was wrong when he guessed but he may not be wrong by the time he gets there. |
|||
| 15. | Why does Thorne, the acting commander of the Night's Watch, sanction Jon Snow's trip beyond the Wall? | ||
| He wants intel regarding the White Walkers | |||
| He wants intel regarding the Wilding army | |||
|
|
He wants Jon Snow dead | ||
| He wants vengeance for Jeor Mormont | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Thorne is kind of a jerk. Also, if Jon Snow dies, do you realize what that would do to the female viewership of Game of Thrones? |
|||
| 16. | Karl Tanner, current ruler of Craster's Keep, is rather twisted. What does he do to demonstrate this point? | ||
|
|
He drinks wine from the skull of Jeor Mormont | ||
| He rapes several of Craster's daughters while making others watch. | |||
| He threatens to feed some of the women to the white walker outside | |||
| He whips several of Craster's daughters savagely then rapes them. | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Sometimes, I like to imagine how pre-cable television censors would have reacted to various scenes of Game of Thrones. |
|||
| 17. | What do the Craster women consider "a gift for the Gods"? | ||
|
|
Craster's sons | ||
| Their own lives (i.e. suicide) | |||
| Their virginity | |||
| White Walkers | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
The Craster clan is pretty messed up. |
|||
| 18. | Karl Tanner and his men are holding someone or something hostage. Who or what is it? | ||
| Bran Stark | |||
|
|
Ghost, Jon Snow's Direwolf | ||
| Hodor | |||
| Summer, Bran Stark's Direwolf | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Ghost does not seem to like the dude who taunts him. I wouldn't want to be that guy. |
|||
| 19. | Someone is revealed to be close enough to Craster's Keep that they can hear Craster's son crying. Who is it? | ||
| Arya Stark | |||
|
|
Bran Stark | ||
| Daenerys Targaryen | |||
| Jon Snow | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Potential Stark family reunion again next week. Lucy swears you can kick the football this time, Charlie Brown! |
|||
| 20. | What happens to the baby left as "a gift for the Gods"? | ||
| It freezes to death. | |||
| It gets eaten. | |||
|
|
It gets turned into a White Walker. | ||
| Mance Rayder adopts it. | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Zombie Babies!!! |
