Warning: contains major spoilers forGame Of ThronesSeason 8 Episode 5, The Bells.
Who died?
And loads of soldiers and civilians.Loads.
That cant have been filmed in Dubrovnik?
Quite right, it wasnt.
It was hidden behind a 5-shipping container-high wall to protect the set from drone and paparazzi photography.
Were there any Easter Eggs hidden in the city design?
Bless you for asking.
Thatmustbe a record for the number of stunt people set on fire?
They set fire to 22 people twice this episode, totalling 44 burns.
Why did that shot of Harry Stricklands back before the battle look familiar?
If it really did, youre aGame Of Thronessavant, so kudos.
We later see a Lannister solider (boo!)
explains director Miguel Sapochnik.
What was Dany playing at?
She is who she is, says Benioff, and thats a Targaryen.
What was Jaime playing at?
According to director Miguel Sapochnik, Jaime was motivated purely by absolute unconditional love for Cersei.
He goes back to her just to be there for her.
He almost goes back to her I would say to prove that he was never going to leave.
She says You came back to me and he replies Of course I did.
In the broadcast episode, that moment was played wordlessly and Cerseis first words to Jaime were Youre hurt.
What was Varys plan with Martha, the Dragonstone kitchen girl?
Why did Varys take off his rings?
To signify that he knows his death is coming.
I will return, dear Spider, one last time.
I have to die in this strange country, just like you.
Whats the history between Tyrion and Varys?
Both are men of intelligence and outsiders (Varys being a eunuch, Tyrion being a dwarf).
He proposed to help Tyrion rule Meereen in Danys stead by commanding his vast web connection of spies.
Theyve been Danys advisors and comrades ever since.
Why did Varys react that way to Tyrion placing his hand on his arm?
He always keeps his hands behind his back or tucked into his costume and has no human contact.
The reaction came as a surprise to director Miguel Sapochnik too, but he loved it.
What was the significance of Missandeis only possession?
(An interpreter Dany didnt need, as it turned out.)
What does Torguo Nudho mean?
It just means Grey Worm.
Why did the woman who helped Arya up from the stampede look familiar?
If she did, its because you probably watched the most recent series ofLine Of Duty.
Is Davos the greatest smuggler alive?
Is that the first time Tyrions spoken Valyrian?
No, but its a long-standing joke that hes not very good at it.
Remind me who that guy was on the white horse outside the city gates?
Harry Strickland, leader of the Golden Company mercenaries hired by Cersei.
We saw him in the season premiere, when Cersei was disappointed by his lack of elephants.
How differently this all would have gone had she got her elephants.
How did the Targaryens get the Iron Throne in the first place?
How long has the Red Keep stood?
The Red Keep has never fallen, it wont fall today, she said this episode.
Maybe Cersei is the stupidest Lannister?
Why wasnt Grey Worm wearing his helmet?
After losing Missandei, he no longer has anything to fear from death.
Also, it just looks cooler.
What were those flashes of green fire among the dragon flames?
When Dany set the city on fire, she set off her dads hidden cache.
Is Euron Greyoy a king?
Is that the first time Arya has called The Hound by his real name?
We think so, yes.
What led up to the fight between Sandor and Gregor Clegane?
Sandor grew into a fearsome fighter himself and swore that one day hed take revenge on his brother.
Though terrified by fire, he threw them both off the Red Keep and into a sea of flames.
Yes, youve got good eyesight.
The special guest played a Kings Landing civilian trying to find cover from Danys attack.
Remember Shireen Baratheons carved deer toy as she burned at the stake?
We wrote much more about the white horse right here.
Game Of Thrones concludes on Sunday, May 19 on HBO.
