S5EP2: Black or White

Already, in this early season, GoT has given us some dream pairings. The reunion of Jaqen H'ghar and Arya Stark. Varys and his drunken cargo, heading toward an epic meeting with the Mother of Teenage Rebellion Dragons. And let's not overlook Jon Snow and his Lady Red Part II. What is going on there? We know Melisandre isn't against using her feminine wiles to get what she wants and it looks like she's got Lord Commander Snow right in her sights.

Best of all there's Jaime and Bronn. We figured the deadly sellsword would be shipped off to the sidelines but it looks like he and Jaime will instead become the wittiest one-two punch in Westeros. We're really curious if/when Jaime will be able to fight again, but with Bronn at his side, there's a little less rush to get him back into action. Bronn, the Lannister brothers' BFF!

Who else would you like to see team up for a common cause? For me, it would be incredible to have Cersei and Margaery somehow united toward a singular goal. While they look like archvillains now, there's always a chance that GoT flings them together into a mother and daughter-in-law alliance. Stranger things have happened...

Let’s take a look at the EP2 scoring! Brienne led the way with a ton of points for her many kills and injury. (I don't understand why Brienne's instinct was to fight her way out of there, instead of just sticking around to prove her loyalty.) Ms. Fight and Flight racked up 35 points for her efforts. And in a nice twist from EP1, seven other players did major scoring themselves.

Cersei, Ellaria Sand, and even sweet Samwell Tarly all got in their insults and scored 28 points each. Janos Slynt, Kevan Lannister, and Petyr Baelish got in a few jabs of their own for 21 apiece. In fact, most of the scoring this week was from insults. That's fun right? While we’re all into the literal killings GoT provides, the verbal eviscerations are another major reason each episode is so enjoyable.

And how about Daario Naharis, who has been doing some fun things during his first two episodes. This week he was the fifth leading scorer with 27 points: +14 from insults, +4 from (an awesome wall stab) injury, and +9 from his head chop for Dany’s commitment to justice. Daario is in the early lead for Most Improved Player.

Coming up at the tail end of scoring are the drinkers: Jon Snow, Podrick Payne, and Tyrion Lannister, who surprised us all with only one cup imbibed. What happens in EP3? Does Drogon return?!
