Game Of Thrones: 10 Questions We’re Asking After 'Sons Of The Harpy'

Did he die? Did HE die? Or did they all die?

Season 5 is already approaching the halfway point, and while we've seen some cool character transitions in Game Of Thrones, but Westeros needs a game-changer. Huge stories have been hinted at, and major theories are all starting to come together, but after four episodes, the only major shocks have came at the end of episodes with the writers seemingly choosing fringe characters at random to finish off. Sons Of The Harpy, Episode 4, was no exception, with the fate of both Greyworm and Ser Barristan Selmy hanging in the balance after a bloody duel with the episode's namesake clan. That scene was intense to watch, but is the show's formula becoming too predictable? Intense fighting followed by slow-burning politics, with a gratuitous sprinkling of nudity, all capped with a death at the end of each episode to keep viewers tuning in. It's still been an enjoyable series, but it's about time something truly insane goes down. Aside from the slaughter in Meereen, Jorah is still intent on returning to Daenerys with his Lannister prize, Tyrion, with Varys nowhere to be seen, presumably still making travelling in the same direction with the hope of bumping into his companion again. Fans finally got to see the Sand Snakes, while Jamie and Bronn hit dry land in Dorne, killing a cluster of warriors in the process. Baelish re-entered full-blown creep mode with another kiss planted on Sansa in the Crypt of Winterfell, right before departing for King's Landing. On The Wall, Lord Commander Jon Snow signed some letters - riveting - before Melisandre dropped her clothes yet again, this time trying to seduce Jon, though he declined, leading to another cheesy, sigh-inducing "you know nothing, Jon Snow." In King's Landing, the Sparrows trawl the city serving out 'justice' and imprison Loras Tyrell for his homosexuality, while Tommen looks like a young boy again as he is torn between his mother Cersei and wife Margaery's conflicting demands. So what questions were raised during Sons Of The Harpy?
