I wish they gave the monster arm to Jorah instead

I'm betting there was a brief discussion about whether to cure Jorah with magic in Qarth or medicine in Oldtown.

Needed to speed up the requisite bullshit to get Sam and Jorah back to the action so they just combined it and made Sam the Doogie Howser of maesters.

He's clearly Harry Potter, he read about how to make some potion in a book someone scribbled in and succeeded at a very difficult task he should have had no chance at, earning praise from Professor Slughorn. Thank you Jon Snow, the Half-Blood Prince.

I don't remember the arm monster but then again I only listened to the audiobooks while kinda high. So what the gently caress are ya'll talkin about?

iirc Victarion gets wounded in the arm, forces a captive red priest to heal it and as a result he gets a lava arm or something. It's been like 6 years(holy poo poo it's actually been a long time) so it's all a bit blurry.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Jorah totally needs a Devil Bringer, yes. Let's get this party started!

Jorah is obviously gonna help Jon with Dany, then get really upset when he still doesn't get out of the friendzone and Jon bones Dany. This turns him away from women and he gets to play with Sam's fat pink mast.

But who would be Dante? Is there a man in this whole series possessed of enough sweet sick stylin'? I doubt it.

I've been doing a rewatch of this show and I just got to the episode where Barriston Selmy dies. I wouldn't say that his death makes me sad or anything, but it is too bad that a guy with PoV chapters in the books gets written off like that in the series. He is more interesting than Bran!

Seeing clips of this leaked episode, it's pretty hard to be on Dany's side considering she's roasting the gently caress out of people with what's essentially a weapon of mass destruction.


Especially when she's taking on Bronn and Jaime, who are very good instead of someone who is a poo poo, like Cersei or herself.

Sunday's episode has the first good and cool thing in years happen, when bronn shoots a dragon through the eye with a ballista.

It's not drogon, which would imply the one rider one dragon thing isn't true (in the show at least)

Dany nuking fools was the best part and the first time I've cheered for her.

The reshade Viserian dies in the last or next to last episode and becomes an ice dragon, so we'll get that too.

Hmm. Looking at the spoilers


Good: we are finally getting some dragons fighting zombies action

Bad: this was the last army battle of the season. We had a crappy boat fight, a terribly shot ' siege' at casterly rock, an off camera fight at high garden, and this.

Ugly: we have gritty fight scenes with ten good men vs zombies to look forward to.

I sucked a dick for bus fare and then I walked home.

I just realized Pod has connections with all three factions: Bronn, Tyrion and Brienne.

No matter who wins he should be ok.

why isn't brienne going on the zombie hunt

That lovely fuckin episode made me so mad I went full sperg and mspaint'd on a map to show how little goddamn sense that battle made



if dany knows the bulk of Cersei's army and her top two generals are down in loving Highgarden, why is she passing right by king's landing to go fight them

this throws out the logic of her not wanting to be seen as the foreign invader, too, cuz fuckin' obviously everyone saw that massive dothraki horde marching straight past kings landing

Got any deathsticks?
Was Tyrion at the scene where Theon came ashore? I can't remember but if he was that is one hell of a teleporting trick. Well that was answered.

Also, that whole battle sequence was ripped straight out of a western where the indians attack a caravan and they circle the wagons. It even took place in Westeros's Monument Valley analogue.
Also, while I get burning the gold down to gently caress over Cersei's loan repayment, Dany just torched the food reserves as well.
