Dinklage absolutely killed that scene. I was worried that bitch that plays Shea had taken all the tension away with how bad of an actress she is but that speech was everything it had to be and more.
Especially after the scene with Jaime sacrificing himself.
And Davos going ham at the bank.
And Yara abandoning Theon. Reek. Reek, it rhymes with meek!
also from the preview it looks like they're adapting the last chapter of the book already for next week, so this show's going to be nonstop insanity from here on out. Sucks there's going to be a break for memorial day

Lol@ me not knowing who the fuck yara is and just finally realizing they renamed asha greyjoy yara for some stupid reason
Man oh man I wish they woulda put my favorite part of the tyrion scene in the show... it'd take that scene from a 9.99999/10 to 10/10. Shea says he makes her call him "my giant of lannister" and the whole court falls into laughter, tears streaming down their faces. Then they ask her again what she said and everybody busts out laughing again. Tyrion shouts enough and gives his speech. Its why he said he was guilty of being a dwarf in his speech...

Braavos looked awesome!
Some good background info on Braavos if you don't already know or just want a good read:
*** "Braavos is the strangest, a city erected not by the Freehold, but against it. A labyrinth of illusion and deceit to hide the refugees from Valyria's slave-lords. After the Doom, the city emerged from the shadows to become of the greatest banking centers in the world."* ―Ser Jorah Mormont discusses the Free Cities.
"Braavos is one of the Free Cities. It lies east of Westeros, across the Narrow Sea. It is the northern-most, the richest, and arguably the most powerful of the Free Cities. The city spans hundreds of tiny islands connected by small stone bridges. As well as the city itself, the rulers of Braavos also control the surrounding lagoon and a strip of the coastline southwards towards Pentos.[1][2]
A giant statue of the Titan of Braavos guards the harbor entrance to the city. The people of Braavos are known as Braavosi. Braavosi are revered seafarers and swordsmen.[2]
Unlike Westerosi nobility, wealthy and powerful Braavosi favor wearing dark colors."
Some more Braavos history:
Couple of Characters from Braavos:
Syrio Forel, First Sword of Braavos.
Jaqen H'ghar, one of the Faceless Men of Braavos, a feared order of mysterious assassins with the ability to change their appearance at will.

Some more Braavos history:
Braavos lies at the northwestern-most end of the Essos continent, roughly due east of the Vale of Arryn. It is the only one of the Nine Free Cities which was not a former colony of the Valyrian Freehold. The city was founded by galley slaves after they staged a mutiny and killed their Valyrian overseers. Directed by the Moonsingers, they sailed as far north as they could in the Narrow Sea in search of a refuge. They established the Secret City of Braavos and kept its location secret for over four centuries, accepting other refugees and escaped slaves in the process. Because of the nature of its founding, Braavos does not keep slaves, does not like to do business with those who keep slaves, and frequently uses its military and economic power to encourage other states to give up slavery. After the Doom of Valyria four hundred years ago Braavos revealed itself to the world, and as the other Free Cities were left in chaos for decades after the Doom, Braavos rose to become the most powerful of the Free Cities. Due to its unique origin, Braavos is sometimes referred to as the Bastard Son of Valyria.

Btw am I the only one that completely forgot or missed Jorah Mormont was originally sent as a spy to send Varys info about the exiled Targaryens?

i think he got sentenced for beheading for being a slaver and escaped, and was spying for varys in order to get a pardon so he could come back. he helped set up dragon girl in the marketplace (when her husband dothraki dude was still around) by having her drink some poisoned wine but had a change of heart at the last minute and didn't allow it to happen
when stannis and them were sailing into bravos underneath the statue's skirt, i was like 'don't look up!' lol
one of the best episodes this season so far
before, i thought the white walkas were taking the baby boys and eating them. mind blown, an army of baby white walkas sounds mainey

The part about being a slaver is correct. Ned stark sentenced him to death and was on his way to kill him when he bounced across the sea into hiding.
Jorah thought he was just giving intel to varys for only the pardon and his land back cause when he was warned by ilyro (however you say it, that fatass dude who sold daenerys to khal drogo) that they were offering a lordship to whoever killed her, he then stopped the poisoning, and thought they crossed the line and became genuinely loyal. Unless the show put a twist on it I blocked out of my memory lol
Under the statue there's guards and murderholes for shooting arrows and shit lol

I think he gave her those dragon eggs on purpose, knowing full damn well who she is. They dont make him shady, but there is a dark secret lurking inside of him.
