The new season of Game of Thrones starts July 16. As a lead-up, I’m re-watching the first six seasons of the show. Below are 10 thoughts I had while watching the fourth episode of season five, “Sons of the Harpy.” Spoilers for the entire series, but for this episode in particular.

1. Mace really is clueless if he thinks Cersei is sending him off to Braavos because she wants to honor him.
2. Cersei is so awful, having the Sparrows go after Loras because she is losing Tommen to Margaery.
3. While Joffrey was far too cruel to be a strong ruler, Tommen is far too nice.
4. As if Melisandre wasn’t scary enough, now she’s quoting a dead woman.
5. So we get this really touching scene with Stannis and Shireen, which is probably the only scene with Stannis I actually like him in, and now I know what he’s going to do to her soon.
6. I agree with Bronn. After watching all the exciting deaths on this show, I want my death to be boring.
7. Tyrion really does never shut up. I don’t blame Jorah for hitting him.
8. Rhaeger probably would have been a good king, if he hadn’t allowed his desire for a woman to get in the way.
9. The Sons of the Harpy really are terrible, slaughtering innocent people in the streets.
10. Ser Barristan was such a brave man. He served Daenerys well and I will miss him.
