I remember in the show Jaime asking how he managed to have it reforged and Tywin saying they brought in the best smiths they could find in the whole world so at least they pay service to it being difficult

The books just say he reworked them, I suppose the process involves heating the metal until it can be reshaped but not actually turning it liquid.

I think all the Valyrian Steel weapons that have been mentioned in the show will be in the north or headed north by the end of this season.

Here's to hoping that this show doesn't dive deeper into fanfic revengeporn territory. I hope the new season begins with Daenerys falling to her death from the crow's nest of one of her ships, and tyrion throws up his hands and says "well, that's that. How about some wine?"

We still somehow need to get that one sword from the ToJ flashback too. I think that was valyrian steel at least the show didnt really make a big deal out of it tho.

I think the fact that they included Dawn in the show was just a nod to bookreaders and not something they're going to focus on later. And like someone else said, whatever its significance is going to be the books, it's not Valyrian steel.

Like House Hornwood being in the anti-Ramsay alliance.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Cersie just materializing new Lannister armies out of nothing and destroying the much larger Martell and Tyrell armies (which haven't been touched in the war) is just so beyond stupid. But that's what the script says must happen so drat any reasoning. There were some leaked set photos of Randyll Tarly (Sam's evil father) and Jaime riding together. Considering that he is supposed to be among the most powerful bannermen of House Tyrrell, this could mean that a large part of the forces of the Reach has revolted against Olenna and allied with Cersei.

Battlestar Galactica's final season schedule on Scifi was abusive to their audience, to say the least. Seems like a lot of poo poo to put people through, all to get to the final scene where Hodor will be sitting on the throne.
