Lazy Sundays: The Wars to Come (Game of Thrones Episode 5.01)

Warning: spoilers ahead!

What an episode tonight, folks.  There was not much in the way of action but there’s plenty of intrigue that I’m very excited about, including some changes from the books.  So in no particular order:

1.  Go Jon Snow!  Still mopey, still defying kings.

2.  Where is Sansa going? Or rather, where is Littlefinger taking Sansa far in the west?

3.  Ooh, Lancel is now one of the Sparrows and Cersei laughed in his face when he talked about religion.  Not a good idea to laugh at zealots, Cersei…

4.  On that note, it was great to see young Cersei visiting Maggie the Frog and it introduces that all-important prophecy that will really come to haunt Cersei during the coming events.

5.  Margarey’s right: Loras better be a little more discreet about his sexual preferences.

6.  Tyrion’s going to Meereen to meet with Daenerys!  Will he meet with Ser Jorah like in the books or will the two paths collide in an entirely different way?  And will a certain mysterious character be joining Varys and Tyrion on their journey?

7.  Poor Daenerys.  Viserion and Rhaegal are totally wild and Drogon is still fully wild out in the open.  Will she crack and re-open the fighting pits at Daario’s urging or will it take a certain other man to persuade her?

So what did you guys think about the episode tonight?  Are you as excited for the rest of season 5 as I am?
