HBO's Game of Thrones

[Matt S]

That was some epic filmmaking. Better than most films. I felt real jeopardy watching it.

i agree...it was incredibly well done. Those dudes were scarier than anything Walking Dead has been able to produce....

 

[Janssen]

Isn't the iron Throne made from Valyrian steel? Can see it being Melted down or dismantled to help turn the tide of the battle with the walkers.

I don't think it is. The throne was made from the surrendered swords of the lords of Westeros and I doubt any of them surrendered something that rare and valuable. There apparently hasn't been any Valyrian steel made since the Doom of Valyria.

 

[Jaycepticon]

What's the significance of the Rock dudes? They're just mindless "Things"?

 

[Frank Jaeger]

They contracted greyscale at some point and the disease overruns there body, they get pushed out to live in the ruins of old Valyria

No real significance other than it being an incurable disease in the world that Shireen happens to have had and cured

 

[Jack D]

Hopefully Jorah can get in on whatever that is, but doubt it.

 

[NAZGUL-KING]

Hopefully Jorah can get in on whatever that is, but doubt it.

Unfortunately I think he's too P-whipped over Daenerys to care about his arm.

'Game of Thrones': George R.R. Martin's favorite missing characters | EW.com

 

[DinoDB1975]

Since fire only works on the dead (that white walker strolled right through it) they'll need the steel.

Only three swords in Westeros forged from it, right? Longclaw, Oathkeeper, and Joffrey's baby sword?

Plus the dagger used to kill Bran in season one.

From the books, there are more, just not mentioned. Sam's dad has one for sure.
But since it's the show ... and they've totally deviated from the books then I suppose there are only three.

Ask the Maester: The Origin of the Night

It’s a very, very short list. Way too short to make a difference. In all of the North, we know for sure of two Valyrian weapons. Brienne, lurking outside Winterfell, has Oathkeeper — one of the two blades forged from Ice, the Stark family sword, which Tywin Lannister had melted down. And Jon, of course, has Longclaw, originally the sword of Lord Commander Mormont. The dagger used by the unnamed assassin in the attempt on Bran Stark’s life in Season 1 was Valyrian, but who knows where that thing is now.

In the rest of Westeros, things don’t look much better. There’s Heartsbane, wielded by Sam’s dad, Randyll Tarly in the Reach. Lady Forlorn is not only a country-pop trio, it’s also the name of the family sword of House Corbray of the Vale. Joffrey’s Widow’s Wail, the other sword forged from Ned Stark’s Ice, is now presumably in the possession of King Tommen, who wouldn’t cut a piece of roasted venison without asking his mother’s permission first. The tiny Iron Islands boast two Valyrian steel weapons: Nightfall is the family sword of the Harlaws, an ancient and powerful Ironborn house; and House Drumm hold Red Rain, which their ancestor Hilmar stole from some unnamed knight, thus earning Hilmar the sobriquet “The Cunning.” Finally, rumor has it that tiny and ancient House Celtigar have, among the many treasures overfilling their castle on Claw Isle, an ax of Valyrian steel.

Additionally, there are a half-dozen notable Valyrian weapons whose whereabouts are unknown. Most famous of these are the original Lannister family sword Brightroar, lost when King Tommen II disappeared in Valyria back in the day; Blackfyre, the sword of Aegon the Conqueror, which is probably in Essos somewhere; and Dark Sister, the sword of Aegon the Conqueror’s more martial sister-wife Visenya, which was last known to be held by the Targaryen great ******* Brynden Rivers. Brynden was sent to Castle Black back in 233 AC, and he eventually rose to Lord Commander. If Lord Brynden was allowed to take the sword when he took the black (which seems highly unlikely), there’s a chance he may still have it with him under the great weirwood far beyond the Wall.

As for making more Valyrian steel, dragonfire is often mentioned as being part of the process used to make the weapons, along with a careful folding of the metal and treating it with some kind of magic. So, while the reappearance of dragons theoretically makes forging new weapons possible, because of access to their fire and the reawakening of magic tied to the rebirth of the beasts, it’s the spellcasting part of the equation that remains a problem. Notably, the Targaryens — in the roughly 150 years of their nearly 300-year reign in Westeros during which they possessed multiple dragons — never forged a new Valyrian weapon. Considering the rarity of the weapons, it seems certain that they would’ve forged more steel if they knew how. Obviously, the spells used to create Valyrian steel were not well known, even among the Valyrian elite.

I liked Jorah but he's becoming a bit too pining and whiney for Dany now, and for me it's getting abit stale

I hope they bring him back and give him a bit more of an edge before they kill him off, if they do Intend to do that... Like he goes all true grit in the fighting pit cuz he's got nothing to lose anyway

Hopefully Jorah can get in on whatever that is, but doubt it.

That is what I think is going to happen at this point. With him being banished, again, leaving and looking at his wrist, then the stone statues, then going to the slaver guy and asking to fight...I think all that leads to him knowing he's done for, and f-it, might as well go out swinging type of thing.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

It's funny I was just thinking how Jorah was banished from westeros for selling slaves and then ends up a slave himself, and then again voluntarily

He's not had much luck so I hope he does get a bit of redemption before being offed

I just read something that I am not sure is true. Any die hard GoT fans know whether it is true that the Night King is

Spoiler

the 13th Commander of the Night's Watch (Jon Snow is the 998th) who fell in love with an ice woman?

I read the same thing (the expanded back-story in full). Love.. it makes you kray-kray.

Yeah, GoT is good for situations like that; Jorah, Theon, Cersei, etc.

 

[greygoose]

Amazing episode.that last 15mins...edge of the seat stuff!!!
just....wow!!!

Yep, I was literally on the edge of my sofa. Fantastic stuff right there!

 

[Mr. Green]

urgh, last disc got scratches so can't see last 2 episode of season 3

 

[BredL]

urgh, last disc got scratches so can't see last 2 episode of season 3

Nothing happens in those episodes anyway

 

[Mr. Green]

weird, last disc wouldn't play last night but it does now. pondering if Mr. Green should cancel replacement disc. oh well no big loss...it doesn't cost much and current disc got heavy scratches anyway.

 

[evenflow]

I dunno man...the jailed ****ies last week were pretty fantastic.

Fair enough. Agreed.

 

[Michael Crawford]

While the elder Walker was unharmed by fire, I doubt the same would be true of the dragon's fire - that's the common element between obsidian and Valyrian steel, both of which have power when it comes to the Walkers. I'm betting a blast of dragon's breath would toast them like marshmellows.

 

[Xenoburger_]

When did he come in contact with fire? He walked through the cabin with fire on either side of him, but I don't recall it ever touching him.
