so much velvet, you'll get tired of velvet

hitchcock did love a good visual pun

and doesn't have any scales, and has been sitting around rotting for 1000 years

two great match-cuts in this episode: Jorah's skin/delicious pie and Missandei/putting a hand between two books

i didn't think anything could be worse than CancerAIDS but that definitely does

the dagger doesn't mean anything to him, and Jon has already pointed out that there isn't nearly enough Valyrian Steel (aka Dragonsteel) to make a difference. However, seeing it in the same book lends weight to the importance of VS, and of Dragonglass.

not to mention assigning the same people to clean bedpans as serve your food. i'd expect a lot more maesters to be dying of cholera, frankly.

Has it been established that people not killed by faceless assassins can then have their faces be worn by them? Honestly all those House of Black and White scenes are a bit of a monotonous blur, but I don't recall that happening.

No, that would be like burying someone with the Hope Diamond.

I think maybe this wasn't in my original post, but I edited it to add that Joffrey's sword was made out of Ned's, and then reforged yet again into Oathkeeper.

must be their away game colors

well, for one thing, he's not on her list.

I think pretty much every single house is teetering on extinction at this point. Three continent-spanning wars in as many decades will do that to you.

Rather famously. I think that's why House Baggins wasn't sure what Odduck is talking about. That he then doubled down on being an "expert" makes this all the more hilarious.

@avclub-0c71efa337337b8e099c79c001fbc3c5:disqus — yes, it would be but as others have pointed out there are only a handful of valyrian steel weapons left in the world. Jon has Longclaw, Sam has his dad's sword, and Brienne has Oathkeeper, which was forged out of Ned's greatsword Ice, along with Widow's Wail. That's…

she'd have to kill tyrion first, and that ain't happening

yeah it sounded like he considered it like a combover; Thoros isn't fooling anyone.

in AFFC, Tyrion is surprised by the progress made by the maesters in preparing the wildfire — in the years since Aerys they'd only managed to make a tiny amount, but suddenly they have a huge stockpile of the stuff in time for the Battle of Blackwater Bay. The maester replies that the spells they've been using for…

this is also true.

It would be nice if us taking the time to meet him last year added up to more than Sam stealing some sword.
