The Winds of Winter continue to blow; HBO just released loglines for the next two episodes of “Game Of Thrones.” No word here on what became of King Joffrey’s murderer, Petyr Baelish, last seen engineering the arrest of Cersei Lannister at Olenna Tyrell’s request.
Episode #52: “Home”
SUNDAY, MAY 1
Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) trains with the Three-Eyed Raven (Max von Sydow). In King’s Landing, Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) advises Tommen (Dean-Charles Chapman). Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) demands good news, but has to make his own. At Castle Black, the Night’s Watch stands behind Thorne (Owen Teale). Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon) proposes a plan, and Balon Greyjoy (Patrick Malahide) entertains other proposals. Written by Dave Hill; directed by Jeremy Podeswa.Episode #53: “Oathbreaker”
SUNDAY, MAY 8
Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) meets her future. Bran meets the past. Tommen confronts the High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce). Arya (Maisie Williams) trains to be No One. Varys (Conleth Hill) finds an answer. Ramsay gets a gift. Written by David Benioff & D. B. Weiss; directed by Dan Sackheim.
Typically HBO issues these loglines in monthly dollops; it’s unusual that the channel is holding back titles and descriptions for the May 15, 22 and 29 installments.
Note that the May 8 episode is titled “Oathbreaker.” Oathkeeper is the name of Brienne’s Valerian-steel sword, given to her by Jaime Lannister. It is one of two swords Tywin Lannister created by melting down Ice, the greatsword of House Stark.
