You know, in the sequels set thirty years after this season, Arya and Gendry's kid will be the one true heir to the Baratheon bloodline and could challenge the throne...

something I'm really surprised I didn't see any goon mention either this episode or last is how, if youtube's 2018 recommended taught as anything at all, is that you can't cast obsidian and make a sword

I did mention this last week, when they showed the blacksmiths tipping out a bunch of arrowheads that they'd smelted and cast. They treat it like some kind of iron instead of volcanic rock. And the reason for that is, although it might be interesting to go into the difficulties of working and fighting with something like obsidian versus steel, this isn't the show for that kind of thing anymore. They got the dragonglass, they make weapons that can kill White Walkers. End of Story. No time to worry about the troubles of medieval blacksmithing.

Have they used the word obsidian in the show? It's definitely the Westeros equivalent but I just sorta figured that dragonglass is a fantasy material that is like obsidian in every way and also can be smelted and forged in any manner shown or implied by the show

Yeah, the set of standards is weird. The best thing about the Arya/Gendry scene was how hard they telegraphed it near the beginning of the episode. poo poo was hilarious.

Yes, at least once when Sam is explaining what Dragonglass is to Stannis, the guy who literally lived on a volcano and knows all about Dragonglass.

What was the three-eyed raven supposed to have been doing all this time. If he’s humanity’s collective memory it seems like there was more pressing poo poo he could have been doing than being a tree on the other side of the wall.
Memory is just remembering things, no part of the job description says he has to do anything with it.

What do you do if you fall in love with someone you grew up with? Tell them you don't want to have sex with them because its creepy? People grow up. It's normal. Get on with it.
Someone you grew up with implies you were of similar age, your memory of them would always in some way be relative to your past self. It's not really the same as a character who's way younger than you, whose younger self you might just have gotten a refresher on from a rewatch, and who hasn't really had any character development on that side of things since she was a girl.

I mean, it's not like "objectively gross" or anything, it's just people reacting to their understanding of the character/actor getting updated real quick.

Jaime is hosed and Bran, the almighty seer whose word apparently is now revered as the unquestionable truth, decides to chime in for his "old friend" that he spent days waiting for in the snow and says

"the things we do for love"

wtf Bran that is not helping at all :lol:
It told Jaime that Bran knew what he did, and then they had a little chat where Bran was basically said he was fine with it. Pretty good way to diffuse the situation. Not like anyone else knew what it meant, and they've probably learned to ignore Bran quoting things not related to them.

Sam calls is Obsidian.

And yeah, who cares about the physical properties of obsidian in the show really. It's magic obsidian like you said, like how Valyrian steel is magical steel because it disintegrates White Walkers.

Does dragonglass even work against wights in the show? I don't remember that ever being seen. In the book Sam breaks his dagger when he tries to stab a wight, it's only the Others that obsidian magically kills

Yes, he goes out fighting after sending Brienne and Pod off in a rowboat secretly when The Twins was being sieged/retaken by the Lannisters.

[edit] It was an offscreen death; they didn't show him fighting, but it was mentioned after The Twins was taken back by the Lannisters.

TBH it would actually be funny as gently caress if GoT had legit scandalized an actress and the showrunners would try to defend it as "art" when literally all sex in the show is indistinguishable from 1990s cinemax.

I suppose that makes sense. We haven't really seen it on the show. I think some flashbacks with the old tree guy foiling the Night King before might have helped.

I really felt like they have abandoned Bran's story a bit. I mean yes he's front and center now as bait, but for the most part his skills and being the three eyed raven is like The Biggest loving Deal® and they're just kinda like "eh we dedicated an ep or two to it... we good."

I think he may factor into the final showdown in a bigger way than just as bait though. Like, there's something that only he can do that is the key to taking down the Night King. Or not, who knows.
