Game of Thrones

[imaginality]

I'm pretty sure Daenerys is intended to be instrumental in saving everyone from the whitewalkers. The only way they can be killed is by a weapon made from dragon-glass, and that there isn't much dragon-glass around these days. Presumably the way you make more dragon-glass is with dragons.

I figure in the Dany goes evil scenario, Bran comes along, waits 'til Daenerys is flying around on Drogon, then wargs into Drogon and makes him do loops until she falls off.

Isn't dragon glass just obsidian?

Isn't dragon glass just obsidian?

It's called obsidian, but that doesn't mean it necessarily corresponds to obsidian in our world.

[zoraster]

That'd be a weird and unnecessarily confusing choice.

[Iecerint]

Actually I didn't know that obsidian was also volcanic in meatworld.

Carry on.

[Fenchurch]

I didn't know it was obsidian. How do you find that out?

IIRC the maesters call it obsidian.

Sam called it obsidian when they found it at the fist of the first men iirc

I'm 2 episodes behind, but anyone noticed how the characters getting their plotlines developed are overwhelmingly female this season? And all pretty much in position of power/empowerment?

Sand Snakes, Grandma Tyrell, Cersei, Dragon Girl, Greyjoy Girl, Red Witch, Arya, Sansa.
Doesn't that account for the majority of the power players on GOT's geopolitical map?
Does it mean that a feminist apocalypse is upon us?
Am I a bitter, cynical person, if it somewhat un-suspends my disbelief?

That said, my biggest concern right now is that I think Arya's gonna die.
Because her vendetta list is so short, and she got competent so quick, and there hasn't been any new element that indicates she has any plausible purpose beyong her life mission.

OMFG IT'S SL.

[springlullaby]

Yullo Iece!:D

[Iecerint]

And yeah it's kinda v reactionary to all the drama last season.

The only thing that might've been influenced by it tho is Yara=Victarion. I think the rest is par for the course.

[AniX]

Cersei

has just become the best character on the show. She has single-handily saved Westeros from the grip of practically all her enemies and did it dressed like someone who is in the business of saving Westeros.

[Rhinox]

Olenna <3

[AniX]

Finally the One True Queen of Westeros is on her rightful throne: Next step quelliing this bastard revolt in the North and then handling this Kelly C nonsense from the east whose council is solely 2 eunuchs (one of which apparently teleports), a midget, and a lesbian.

[ChannelDelibird]

The opening sequence of this episode was a million times better than 99% of the last three seasons put together.

Also it would appear that Varys has, at last, one-upped Littlefinger in the teleportation stakes.

[hasdgfas]

My favorite part of that episode was the music. They seemed to use it more like a movie does and made it part of the scene. It felt completely new and fresh and I loved it. I noticed it first during the opening sequence, but it just kept being used like that.

Overall I loved the episode though. As usual, I think I have to spend more time digesting it to speak about other specifics.

[chamber]

The show did a very good job of making me feel bad for wishing bad on the High Sparrow and for wanting Arya to become a bad-ass assassin. Assassin's aren't good people.

[Venmar]

I take it back, E9 and E10 are some of the best episodes the series has had yet.

[zoraster]

that was an awesome episode.

Finally moving some set pieces forward to get this into the home stretch.

Still, I wanted Sansa instead of Jon. Still time.

[zoraster]

Oh and the music was amazing.

[zoraster]

By the way, the opening credits metal thing were objects hanging from the ceiling of the citadel, I'm pretty sure.

[Brandi]

Well, that was certainly great.

[kanyeknowsbest]

the only strong opinion ive ever had abt this dumb show is that the wardrobing for cersi was real fuckin good this episode.

[esuriospiritus]

Spoiler: timestamped reactions. it's the same as what's on my fb, so if you've already read that don't bother here.

00:00 - oh god that's an hour and eight minutes runtime, I wonder if that's including the behind the scenes clips or w/e or if that's all the episode o_o

01:30 - oh fuck there's dorne, fuck

04:20 - the music, and the lack of dialogue up to this point, fucking amazing. goosebumps already. I want to download that song when it becomes available.

05:50 - oh god I did not recognize Loras without hair

17:50 - HOLY SHIT MOTHER OF FUCK did they just kill almost all the Tyrells -and- the high sparrow?! I can't imagine anyone made it out of that, wtffffff. Also all this music is just completely top notch. Maybe that's because I'm listening w/ headphones and usually don't, but wooooooow.

18:30 - omg yesssssss we're turning the tables on the Shame Nun yaaaas.

22:00 - Shame. Shame. Shame. ........ salfkjaskldfjaslkdfj. I actually feel -bad- for her, wow. Also now that we're going back to Tommen staring at the giant smoke cloud, I wanna backtrack and say how amazing killing that one Lannister and having him see the ... green goop barrels (I forget the technical term lol) and realize what was going to happen before it did? Bloody brilliant of Circe. Not only is she shaking things up, but she's trying to wound and terrify some of the people she wants revenge on as much as possible.

22:57 - *claps hand over mouth* omg did he just -- yes. yes he did. o_o ...omg, the directing and cinematography in this episode is fucking INSANE. the way this scene was shot, holy shit what. And it's only 23 minutes in asodfijasodifjsa. ...And I guess that fulfills the prophecy Circe was told. D:

26:00 - Lord Frey and Jaime in a room together is interesting.

28:45 - random 'receptionist' guy does not have time for your shit, Sam. XD

30:25 - LOL Sam's face at Gilly. Perfect acting. XD

32:45 - uh oh, here goes Davos

36:10 - I can't believe they're just letting her go. Really?! Something's -gotta- happen to her. Right?

39:00 - ogud Olenna's in Dorne maybe this won't be a complete clusterfuck

40:10 - IS THAT SHADOW FUCKIN' VARYS? ...OMG IT IS. OMG. VARYS/OLENNA CONVERSATIONS FUCK YESSSS I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I WANTED THIS BUT I DOOOOO.

45:50 - Oh, Tyrion. Don't -you- go getting a crush on Dany, now.

47:25 - awh. :3 Tyrion's so flattered.

48:50 - OH MY GOD. Oh my god. OH MY GODDDDD ALSKDFJSAKLDGJASLKGJKASLGDJSKALGJKSLGJ YESSSSSSS ARYA.

54:45 - yessssss here we go, back to the tower of joy :3

57:17 - oh god I'm gonna fuckin' cry. Lyanna. ;_;

59:00 - <3 Lady Mormont <33333

1:01:50 - THE KING IN THE NORTH, eeeeeeeeeee. And the looks that Sansa and Baelish shared, truly a thousand words in one shot.

1:06:10 - wait a sec, that's Varys in the background again. He made it back to Mereen again already? Huh. And holy fuuuuck that's a lot of ships. :O
