Game of Thrones (HBO) TV Show • Page 59

I love the high sparrow

 

I was thinking along the lines of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand.

 

Just watched it again. Still enjoyed it a bunch, still cried at the end a bit. But now my disappointment in Euron has intensified. He totally ruined that scene. We don't need any more assholes who brag about their dicks on this show.

Also, despite all the emotional impact of the ending, the Dany/Jorah scene remains the lowkey MVP of the ep

I'm sure if I combed through I'd be able to find plenty of truly horrible lines in this show, but I'd be shocked if that one didn't end up being one of the worst five or so.

He didn't say "yet". He just stopped at the ending of "commander", realized that he may as well indeed be the Lord Commander and then sheepishly gave his first command.

 

Seconding the criticism of that line, super hokey.

 

It's like tyrion's "those are brave men...lets kill them" line

except not good

 

I don't even understand why any of the other Ironborn would just go along with that. I'm sure they're apathetic to whatever happens to Theon, but Yara was pretty much one of the most respected people on the whole island.

 

Tyrion constantly rises to the challenge.

 

They also didn't care that he admitted to regicide and kinslaying so apparently they just don't care, inexplicably

 

Surely a lot of them must have gone with Theon and Yara though, they couldn't have taken all of those ships alone. I can completely buy that there's a large group of idiots that would side with him simply because he's not a woman.

 

Probably true. They did say that they took their best ships, which would lend credence to that. Still a dumb scene, though.

 

I'm also suprised they had him just come out and say or on the show instead of applying any sort of dramatic irony of us knowing what he did but no one else. It was just really strange that he did that and most of them just went along with it as if nothing had happened.

 

Yeah not sure why that was cool with everyone

 

Man, I've fallen deep into the GOT memes after that Hodor one...

 

They cut a flashback from the show which sort of shows why they went along with it. Apparently, she was the Billy Zabka of the Iron Islands.

 

The priestess repeated everything Varys already told Tyron way back (season two, I think), including the voice from the flames.

That's why Varys hates everything witchcraft. And it's why he looked so disturbed, because I'm sure he doesn't tell that story to just anyone, so how does the priestess know about it?

 

Another fucking direwolf. What the shit.

At least we get the Blackfish back.

 

Is Ghost the only direwolf still alive?

@Adrian Villagomez whats the blackfish? Is that Bryndan? Where does the nickname come from?

 

Nymeria is still out there somewhere.

 

The Tully crest involves fish. Black from his black/dark/dour demeanor.

and yeah. Nymeria is, presumably, alive out there somewhere.

 

Funny that the White Walkers were created with dragon glass, yet are also used to destroy them.

The tip of Meera's spear also dragon glass right? She was just about to kill him because she struck him above his armor, where as when one of the Children of the Forest tried to knife him, it didn't effect him because it was straight into his armor.

 

I was a little off on the nickname. It was more like someone called him like a black sheep of the Tully family cus he kinda does his own thing and he joked that it should be Blackfish due to the crest.

 

Dude, too real.

 

As others explained, he's the blacksheep of that family. He had some kind of disagreement with the head of the family (Catelyn's father), so he became the estranged brother.

His introduction is still one of the series' best.

 

It's hard to say that the Hodor revelation is the show jumping the shark when GRRM had Hodor Hodor-ing back in the 90s when he wrote/released GoT. I assume that he had a reason (this one) back then to name the character Hodor!
