Man, Game of Thrones is really going for it with the character reunions this year, which is yet another major sign of the series flying towards its end.

This week, coming a couple of instalments after he was cured, Jorah gets to Dragonstone and is reunited with his Khaleesi.

It's another reunion that works so well because of the shared screen history of the characters, and is beautifully played by Iain Glen and Emilia Clarke, who portray just enough emotion to make us feel it, without it becoming uncharacteristically soppy or sentimental. Also important: Jorah finally has some new clothes to wear!

If Jorah were to now die in the North, trying to bring back a wight, it's at least a more fitting death than greyscale. However, I do think we'll get at least one more scene between this pair, largely because it seems more likely his death will occur in front of her.
