Was that the dagger Joffrey gave the assassin to kill Bran in Sam's book about legends of the Long Night?

Barreft posted:Bronn always just seems to disappear when not needed, I figure he's just in brothels and inns loving the whores. Actually would Cersei even let him live after being with Tyrion for so long? I doubt Jaime could convince her not to. Maybe he's just peaced out and creampie-ing every lady he can find in his new castle he got from helping Jaime. As far as I know, Lena Headley and him still hate each other's guts and refuse to film together so as long as the King's Landing plot remains so heavily focused on her he won't be showing up.

Vegetable posted:yeah but why berric? and we really haven't seen anything to think the fire goddess has anything in particular against the white walkers We've seen tons; Melisandre tells Stannis that the true fight is to the north, the white walkers last attacked Westeros during the Long Night that's why the watchers in the wall are The Night's Watch and Melisandre constantly says "The night is dark and full of terrors."

Slowpoke! posted:I wonder how much of this is HBO capturing some of that stream audience with HBO Now, especially since the videos are supposed to be available right away. The article has the numbers, Nielson's overnight numbers are 10.1 with another 6 million between Now/Go and DVR.

Obviously, I mean he owned a company that used Chinese gold farmers in World of Warcraft. He literally created money from nothing.

NorgLyle posted:Varys rules and his scene with Dany was the best part of the episode for me. He's the character I've been rooting for the longest on the show since, like he said, he honestly does seem to be in it for the greater good of the people (though Dany makes a very good point that in the early parts of season one where he's conspiring against Robert to put her brother on the throne he was trying to get Robert off the throne for the awful crime of being a kind of inattentive ruler -- people weren't starving or being slaughtered in five or six simultaneous wars under Robert so...). No one was dying yet but they would be. Robert had drunk and partied the kingdom into massive debt, even without the wars that followed his death the kingdoms were in bad shape for the coming winter. Not that Viserys on the throne could change anything about that. I think Varys was just playing the long game and hoping Viserys would swoop in the spring after the winter and conquer an already weakened Westeros.

Zaphod42 posted:Lotta people say having sex before a fight screws you up, lots of boxers say they go without for a bit before a fight. So probably somewhere along that logical line. Yeah, sex lowers your testosterone levels which contributes to lethargy and not getting the full effect from physical training and can cause weight gain. You know what else contributes to lower testosterone? Removing the organs whose primary job is creating it. The Chinese used eunuchs not as fighters but as pretty much the same role as Varys. The emperors believed if their court advisers didn't have lineages to protect or families to feed they would be less likely to fall to corruption.

Zaphod42 posted:The only thing left is maybe Ellaria escapes at some point and tries to kill Cersei, probably unsuccessfully. That or we just never see her again. I figure their might be a future hook with Cersei bluffing about poisoning the daughter, what with Qyburne saying it could take hours, days, weeks to kill her. Meanwhile it only takes about an hour on Bronn and 15 minutes on Myrcella. Ellaria spends a week wondering if every sound her daughter makes is a death gurgle, then just as her guard relaxes Gregor comes in and squashes her head like a grape.

Blazing Ownager posted:You know, I can't help but wonder.. what kind of poo poo was High Garden when it was actively involved in a war and a long standing noble house, while apparently ALL it's troops weren't deployed with their allies but at their castle which immediately fell over dead? A large chunk of the army defected to Cersei's side. During the army march scene you see Tarly riding with Jaime up to the castle.

Strom Cuzewon posted:In the book there's a random gravedigger who is (very strongly) implied to be the Hound, who's finally given up all this killing malarky. He basically ceases to be a character after Brienne "kills" him. Brianna doesn't kill him, he succumbs to infection after Biter takes a chunk out him. The But yes, the first half of the Ian McShane episode is basically the last we've seen of Sandor in the books.

Cyber Dog posted:So, I thought this fight was dumb as hell at first. I just rewatched, and like it a lot more. You can tell that Arya isn't blocking or catching Brienne's swings--she's parrying them to the side. The only time she blocks one full force, the sword flies out of her hand. I don't know anything about swordfighting, but I know from boxing that parrying can move power punches aside while blocking is more likely to get ya hurt. Same basic principles seem to apply--she uses slips, parries, and head movement to get inside on Brienne's longer reach. Not just water dancing, you can catch a few quick bits here and there of Arya thrusting for the vital points exactly like the Hound showed her.

Personal_Nirvana posted:Isn't "The Winter is coming" suposed to be the prelude to an Ice age(?) lasting generations? That doesn't mesh too well with a happy ending. Well not an ice age, just a really long winter. Seasons in GoT aren't tied to the year, the summer that just ended lasted a really long time. The show mentions the last winter of any real length happened when Tyron was a child and wasn't that bad. Old Nan and Mormont mention a winter in their childhood lasting 7-8 years. Martin based the idea on the "Years without Summer", an event that happened in the late 19th century after the eruption of Krakatoa. There was so much volcanic ash in the atmosphere that Europe was in a state of perpetual winter for 2 years. If you're familiar with The Scream the sickly yellow/orange sky isn't artistic license, that's literally what the sky in Europe looked like for those two years.

It's funny, I liked the episode, and when I think about it everything I liked feels like it was a doofy Dave Hill joke from the last few seasons. I wonder if Benjen is going to show up and end up being the wight they bring to King's Landing, foreshadowing for the show watchers that the magic keeping the WW on the other side of the wall is gone.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:HBO is really bad about leaks. Apparently the whole plot of this season got leaked, two weeks ago ep leaked, this leaked, and like two seasons ago like four eps culminating in Selmy's death leaked. Considering this past episode got higher ratings than any other GoT episode I don't think they're going to be that worried.
