Game of Thrones [TV] Master Thread

Why is Jon leaving the nights watch not being seen as a big deal? Do the other houses know he died? Will they even believe him? They would just arrest or take him on captive on the spot. There are serious consequences when you leave, as in death.

the Hound chopping wood is what stood out to you most in this episode?

What "stood out to me most" was how little stood out, tbh...
and I did say "dramatic acting aside"

I guess it was an okay episode: about par for mid-season.
No real surprises*, other than how quickly Ian McShane's character exeunted.





*Cleganebowl+plus has been openly discussed for too long.

Exactly.

If he is seen as being out of the nights watch, they'd ask why? He'd tell them of what happened and people would literally lose their ****.

It seems as though people aren't even aware of what happened at all.

Where's Melisandre now? She left with Davos, Jon, Sansa, and Tormund. I figured she might be of help recruiting houses.

Seawater = full of parasites, so no.
Harbor water = utter filth, so fuck no.

Dramatic acting aside, I was impressed with Rory McCann's
axe-work. Pretty accurate, precise cuts (even when he was
obviously tired from multiple takes --the difference is a bit
perceptible between one take and another).

Maybe splitting logs is more dramatic for the camera, but
cutting up timber efficiently with an axe takes a fair bit
of skill/practice, and McCann clearly made time to get it.

Serious respect to the actor for putting the work in, to make
it all work better on-screen.

I read that sea water was great for wounds. Basically a massive tub of saline solution which cleans and kills infection.

Harbor water could be different to be fair, though she was very close to the titan of bravos, so pretty close to the open ocean

Syrio in the background???? Good call on him possibly still being alive. New images of Sunday's episodes are out. A new red priestess as well

[ShoulderRoll]

Having Syrio Forel still be alive would be awesome.

[RightJab]

What does Syrio say to death? "Not today".

True story, 1st season. He's Azor Azhai's cousin.

The last bit is a lie but nevermind.
