The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft was $3.2 billion for just an orbiter.

I think mostly what you’re teaching kids is that you’re a pedantic asshole.

Yes, I read it too... but thanks for assuming I’m a dumbass and not just trying to point out something awesome.

I don’t need to buy blue roses. I’m mildly red/green color blind. I see blue roses all the time.

Magpies are the best corvids. Also possibly the best birds.

They forgot!

I wonder if there was a reason they didn’t look at forget-me-nots.

Also, the super secret method for curing greyscale? Cut it off.

“My Queen, have you seen the Hobbit, Part 2? If not, you will be amazed”

Dragonbinder, a dragon horn from Valyria that can allow the user to control dragons. I was really hoping that’s what Qyburn had found also, instead of some basic medieval-era contraption. I’m really hoping Euron still has Dragonbinder and attempts to use it at some point.

So was anyone else super disappointed that mad scientist Qyburn’s super secret dragon killing weapon was a freakin’ ballista?

The problem with having it be the horn is it seems way too convenient to bring that into the story now.

Hitting a dragon in flight with a ballista is totally realistic. I saw it happen in How to Train Your Dragon.

They’re hiring that guy from Lake-town. I’ve heard he’s a pretty good shot. They’ll only need the one.

So I know in the books there’s talk of an item that Euron either possesses or is seeking, that is said to be able to control dragons. This hasn’t been mentioned at all on the show at this point. I was assuming that what Qyburn had in the basement was going to be this item, or something else that would serve the role…

I was totally ready for a zombie dragon in that cellar.

60% of the time, it works everytime.

Look, if his High Holiness, GRRM, deems something worthy of pages of exposition, it should be in the show. LOTR should have had four more hours of walking in it. Also, if Davos doesn’t talk about soup for ten minutes this season, I’ll be very disappointed.
