No that's the dragon binding horn and it was blown at the kingsmoot and the wall was just fine. There are other horns and there's the legendary horn of winter which would allegedly bring down the wall even though the legend actually states that it will "wake the giants from the earth"or something like that. Mance was looking for the horn of winter but Ygritte tells Jon he never found it. Some people suspect it's the hunting horn found stashed in the fist of the first men, now carried by Sam.

some guy on the bus posted:But that's Arya's character now. She enjoys getting revenge and giving death. She really dragged out her kill of Meryn Trant. I don't see why she wouldn't have savored the Frey kills more. It's also Cersei's character. IDK, maybe there's an interesting parallel there, or maybe it's just them not knowing how to write a good vengeful woman character. I don't want to bitch about it too much because it's still a fun show, so whatever.

Later he chains said raped brother next to the woman who is pregnant from him at the prow of his ship after cutting her tongue out, is prettyyyyy dangerous given that he is also the king of one of the seven kingdoms. The Iron Islands isn't one of the seven kingdoms, it's a little bastard territory. Is he king of some other kingdom in the books? Nail Rat fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Jul 17, 2017 |

I know linking to Buzzfeed is blasphemy but this article is actually pretty good: https://www.facebook.com/BuzzFeed/posts/10156403426460329 Talking through how someone paused the show at the right moment to read an area in Sam's book talking about the healing properties of Dragonglass when ingested. The way it connects to Shireen, who lived on Dragonstone and stopped the disease is pretty cool.

Captain Splendid posted:Dorne Technically at the time of Aegon's conquest it was "The Kingdom of the Rivers and Isles" as Harren the Black, King of the Iron Islands, conquered the riverlands and built his seat there. That's why historically there are 7 kingdoms even though the riverlands were an independent kingdom for thousands of years (though it was often contested).

GaussianCopula posted:How about Dany landing in Dorne or the Reach, where her allies can support her army and she has a base of operations to start her conquest instead of that bleak island in throwing distance from King's Landing, where she runs the danger that Euron with his 1000 ships, manned by people who are known to be able seafarers, either completely annihilates her fleet or at least inflicts significant losses. 1000 ships that don't look to have large artillery on them vs 3 Dragons?

InFlames235 posted:It is contagious as hell which is why it was a super dick move for Jorah to try and touch Sam. Not cool, dude. He touched Dany like multiple times with his greyscale hand last year, didn't he? The show doesn't care. I liked this episode, but it was pretty boring and had a lot of loving terrible dialogue in it. The Arya opening was fun, but in schlocky 'this is loving stupid' way. Jon continues to be Jon (which is a bad thing). I was really pleased with Sansa, she seems to finally be acting like a girl who learned the game during all that time in KL, and her admitting she admires/learned a lot (hopefully what not to do) from Cersei was a nice touch. Cersei and Jamie's Exposition Minute was bad. Euron coming by to court her was meh, but I expect his plan to work after that vision in I believe it was Damphair's Winds chapter showing a Cersei/Euron alliance. Hound scenes were good. Jim Broadbent appeared to make me finally invested in Sam. Dany landing on Dragonstone should have made me feel things, but mostly just made me realize I missed seeing the Dragonstone sets on the show. I'm going to laugh if any more of these episodes feel as slow as the premiere did. I hope Arya kills Ed Sheeran, he took me right out of the show and it was hard to get back into it.

I feel like this show has given the audience learned helplessness with all the murder and torture to the point where any fun, good catharsis for a sympathetic character rings false and gets dismissed as hokey fan service for people watching the show wrong.

benzine posted:Euron is like Westeros' Jack Sparrow. I remember an intro to logic class once showed me a class of arguments that could never be falsified but weren't useful information. Like if I sold you a car, and I told you this car flies, it's a flying car, no foolin', but it malfunctions on every day there are sunspots. You might want to wait for a day without sunspots to see it fly but unfortunately there are literally always thousands of sunspots burning constantly. There will never be a day without them until the sun burns out entirely. You can know it. You can know it's a bullshit argument and that one has nothing to do with the other but you'll never have your perfect day with no sunspots and a car that doesn't fly and get to say aha, I proved you are a goddamn liar. Similarly, where in this book is there any gathering of characters where nobody is a liar? There are always lies. And sometimes there's wine. I'm not impressed by the correlation.

I didn't recognize Ed Shireen when watching it. I don't really follow pop music or celebrity news so to me he was just some guy in a scene. The scene seemed just fine to me. I thought it gave some good humanizing to the Lannister soldiers. It was only seeing the internet complain afterwards that I realized it was a cameo.

Hey so why was dragonstone empty? Why was dragonstone a loving museum to targaryens? Why would stannis leave up ratty dragon banners over the last 18 years or whatever. I literally do not understand how to interpret this scene other than this is a different dragonstone, that is different from stannis's seat, and that it's been left abandoned since the targarayens peaced out.

It definitely seemed like a much bigger/grander place than it ever did when Stannis was there. Like only now does the show give a poo poo about it.

There are still pirates. Stannis left with all his men to take the red keep so I assume the few peasants left behind on the desolate rock would go over to the mainland instead of being raped and murdered by Ironborn

Yeah like YouTube views are an indicator of quality. Granted I don't listen to much modern music at all because of how awful and bad it is. Seriously though if you listen to pop music in general you should be asking yourself some questions. Same type of people that enjoy "sons of anarchy" I imagine.

He's got two Grammys and toured with Taylor Swift, he's pretty huge these days. If you listen to top 40 or know any people in their teens or twenties he's hard to avoid. I have friends who listen to his crap all the time. The scene was fine, his few lines were fine, but it was the kind of cameo that really takes me out of a scene. Especially in what is basically a period drama. Not the end of the world, just lame.

I had no idea about the cameo until after. The scene was one of the better ones in the show IMO, full of tension regarding what the Lannister party intended to do and the nature of Arya's character. I guess if I followed tween music and cared what the tween music people look like it might have been distracting.
