Game Of Thrones Season 5 is well and truly underway, with Episode 2 leaving fans thirsty for more after teasing at several new storylines that will surely form a huge chunk of the upcoming episodes. We got our first glimpse of fan-favourite Arya Stark following her journey across the sea to Braavos, while Brienne finally caught up to the eldest Stark daughter, Sansa, currently being teased along by the scheming Lord Baelish. Tensions are rising in Meereen as Danerys' storyline finally starts to heat up following a lot of time spent asserting her everyday leadership of the liberated city; a necessary component of the story, though not exactly enthralling for the millions at home. Cersei received a threat from Dorne with regards to her daughter Myrcella and Jamie responds by suggesting a one-man mission, while she also sparked a 'dwarf hunt' to find Tyrion who is drowning himself en route to finding Daenerys with Varys. Meanwhile on The Wall, Jon Snow is offered the Stark surname by Stannis Baratheon, but instead is nominated for the role of Lord Commander, and wins the title by a single vote from Maester Aemon. We also got our first glimpse of what lies ahead at the opposite end of Westeros in Dorne, while the episode finished off with Drogon - the largest of the dragons - returning to Meereen. So let's take a look at some of the biggest talking points from 'The House Of Black And White'.
