Lol, is that the real caption?
I don't know. I tried to google an image of melisandre saying that this episode and that came up. I lol'ed out loud.
It really pisses me off that the preview confirmed that Barristan is dead. It was still pretty up in the air at the end.

That's why I don't watch the previews. Like Frank Costanza, I gotta go in fresh!!!
Also, how TF was he killed by a bunch of rich *******s? Are those guys even trained in combat?

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Gotta admit that his death surprised me.
Honestly thought he was going to come in that room and wreck shop with all of those guys without getting a scratch.

For an old guy it looked like he tore s*** up before he bit it to me.
Dude was old, oh well guess Jorah takes his place.
I couldn't tell if that Dragon was Drogon or not, but I hope it wasn't, and Dany is about to gain some crazy will power. Then, she releases the other two, and becomes a bad ass again.
I really thought it was gonna be the classic "grey worm being the last man standing and then when all hope looks lost Barristan comes to the rescue and they get out". Then it went all GRR Martin and killed them both (presumably, we don't see a dead grey worm in the preview but he looked to be bleeding out something fierce).
I hope Grey Worm is still alive, but I wasn't taking the Sons of the Harpy seriously before that. Now we know that they're pretty badass themselves. Although I'm questioning the unsullied a bit.
They were severely outnumbered in a confined space. Seems like they just rushed the unsullied and went all stabby.

Good episode.
They were outnumbered what? 2:1? I would've picked the Unsullied with those odds. With the exception of Greyworm and Barrister, it would have been a slaughter.
It looked to me like 3 or 4:1.
It did seem like some of the unsullied went down rather quick, but with numbers and an attitude of not caring how many of you die in the process, the outcome was likely to be the same. As others have said, Barristan took a ton out with basically no one else helping. You are bound to get hit eventually.
To me it seems like the Unsullied are trained with spears and shields and are more capable in fields fighting battles than this sort of guerrilla warfare. I'm not a medieval Weapons expert but I would think long spears aren't a good weapon in tight confines like those alleyways and such

Agree. They looked like the freaking Foot Clan bumbling about

Seems like they're trained to fight in a formation with a wall of spears pointed at the enemy.
In medieval times the vast majority of soldiers fought like this with spears and pikes and had minimal training. Very few people were "knights" who actually really knew how to swing a sword around
Pretty sure the Unsullied had more than minimal training.

This is the greatest show ever. It has everything and there's no wasted scenes.
And who are these ninja babe warriors in Dorne? Some connection to the Oberyn Martell guy who was killed by the mountain last season? Intriguing

I think they're all his kids through different women. The warrior one sounded exactly like him.
I'm still sad about that loss.

Blame that one on Dany. Nice strategy of having her elite fighting army aimlessly wander the streets in small groups (including the commander) to look for troublemakers in midst of civil war. Right up there with locking up the dragons and ordering the execution of the slave in public in the middle of everyone Wtf is she thinking decisions. She needs to get naked more, and make decisions less. Luckily it looks like Therion and Varys will be there soon. Hopefully she listens to them because they have a ****ing clue. Hell even Jorah will be an upgrade of she lets him back in.

Their price (I seem to remember them being expensive) and the fact that the sons respect then wouldake me think that they were better trained.
Really stoked about the new hot ninja babes
Hopefully they all like to get naked together frequently

Great episode... I'm starting to think that one of my predictions from a previous season thread may be true after all. I don't want to post it again for fear of being incorrectly labeled a book reader...
Does anyone watch the show on hbo go?. If so, I suggest watching the "Inside the episode" which comes right after the credits. Usually 5 minutes but it gives a little of the background on the characters and what happened in the episode. Last night's episode has information on the sand snakes and Sansa in winterfell.
Dany will release the dragons and show these sons of *****es who's boss.
