Ah yes, the famous comparison of distance, Boston to Iceland.

 

Hahaha, that was my same exact thought process, lol

Still luv u marsupial

Qyburn, in his lab, hooking up tubes in the dying Ser Gregor: YOU FLUSH IT OUT, YOU FLUSH IT OUT


I'm sorry were we done with the St. Anger references or

 

it looks like? what is your metric here?

 

I haven’t seen it with her face yet, but when I was searching earlier I saw the original clip all over the results. It never gets old.

 

boston
to
iceland

 

i mean, technically he's not wrong. it is less distance.

 

Someone on reddit put Hells Bells by AC/DC over a clip and it’s so good

 

Just watched a highlight reel of the hounds best one liners, and i am cackling at “what the fucks a lommy?” I completely forgot that line lol

 

lol

'Game of Thrones' actor on his surprise execution: 'Nothing could console me'

“As a whole it’s been overwhelmingly positive and brilliant but I suppose the last couple seasons weren’t my favorite,” Hill admitted, later adding: “I can’t complain because it’s six great seasons and I had some great scenes these last two seasons. But that’s when It changed for me a little.”

That change, he added, involved the lack of Martin’s narratives, particularly the way he wrestled with the more fringe characters of Westeros. He explained his reasoning:

“I loved the traveling with [Tyrion actor Peter Dinklage] and just the two of us in that cart. I think the stuff that was said in there understood the nature of freaks and outsiders so precisely. In a way, that was lost when we got past [the narrative in George R.R. Martin’s] books. That special niche interest in weirdos wasn’t as effective as it had been. Last season and this season there were great scenes and then I’d come in and kind of give a weather report at the end of them — ‘film at 11.’ So I thought he was losing his knowledge. If he was such an intelligent man and he had such resources, how come he didn’t know about things? That added to my dismay. It’s now being rectified with getting a great and noble ending. But that was frustrating for a couple seasons.”

Of his own fate, Hill was equally transparent:

“I took it very personally. I took it as a person, not as an actor or an artist. I understood the reactions of previous actors who had been in the same position a lot more than I did at the time. You can’t help feeling that you failed in some way, that you haven’t lived up to some expectation that you didn’t know about. The only thing that consoles you is people who worked a lot harder than you are in the same boat. So that helps. I don’t think anybody who hasn’t been through it can identify with it. They think, ‘What’s all the fuss about? You’re all finishing anyway.’ But you take it personally, you can’t help it.”

 

Going back to one of the first scenes, was varys trying to have Dany’s food poisoned? That little girl worked in the kitchen and she said the queen hadn’t been eating and Varys tells her we will try again later or something.

 

Yeah all these clips people have put the bells scene too, that one and Metallica for whom the bell tolls came to my mind but I hadn’t seen anyone put the scene to those songs yet haha

 

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. He also said something about taking risks so it’s not as if he was just trying to get her to eat.

 

Yeah Varys was definitely trying to poison her

 

lol yeah I suppose that wasn’t the most logical example of places to compare distance between. Miami to Cuba would have been a much better and well known distance comparison / mental map placement of known places to use.

But like, Jesus is it close. Winterfell is like 8x the distance away from KL based on the maps. Crazy.

 

LINK PLEASE

 

Sorry if it’s “new” reddit. I’m on mobile

 

Speaking of 8x the distance, Boston/Iceland is about 8x the distance as Miami/Cuba.

 

man i did not pick up on this at allll. damn.

 

I’m glad someone said something because I was about to say, “one is a thirty minute flight and one is a five hour flight”

 

I didn’t like the way they wrote him to be nothing but one liners for a while later on, but this early one absolutely killed me. It’s just straight out of a comedy.

 

episode was totally worth it for this
