Wine, Wall & Dragons - Game of Thrones Season 7 (episode 5 & 6 notes)
Wine, Wall & Dragons Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 6
Where the heck did the white walkers get all of those chains to lift the dragon out of the ice lake? Also — White walkers seem to be less effective in “water” — so how did they “hook the dragon (who was submerged) with those chains?
Which Dragon died Rhaegal or Visierion? My guess is Visierion since Viserys (her brother is also dead)
Whitewalker Dragon is an absolute game changer — I think there’s a possibility that the nIght’s king flys to kings landing and kills Cersei himself?
Regardless, they’ve just upped the anti like 1 million percent
Also, how about the arm and accuracy on the Night’s King — was he an olympic javelin thrower in his past life? Dude was like 1999 version of Pedro Martinez throwing absolutely bb’s out there. With his “magic Ice spear” — fake band name of the week “Magic Ice Spear”
This was Tormund’s best episode ever — his comic genius was on full display — which made me think he was gonna die… can’t believe he’s still alive
Did you think that Jon Snow was dead when we went into the ice lake? Also, two weeks in a row with guys having amazing “Lung capacity” — also UNCLE BENJEN!!! one last time for old cold hands to save his Stark brethren. LOVED IT.
Sansa is a moron — but I expect more from Arya — she’s a trained assassin. She knows Little Finger is a creep and a liar — i expect a lot more from her. This is petty and is now my least favorite story line — this is turning into the “Sandsankes” plot line — useless and needless. Kill Little finger and get on with it.
Dany and Jon Snow — tender moment on that boat — good Lord
Running Notes: Opening Scene 9 dudes north of the wall hiking — like a slaher flick - Gendry is cold
Tormund gives great “bend the knee advice” he’s on fire early with quips and advice
Winge-ing - The hound’s word — it means whining — is that a real word
Jon Snow tries to give Jorah “Longclaw” — but Mormont won’t take it. “May it serve you well, and your children after you.”
Arya and Sansa have an icy cold talk - it starts with a nice nostalgic talk about Ned Stark. But, it descends very quickly. I just think Arya is disappointing in her contempt for Sansa. It’s pathetic.
Tormund and the Hound — “gingers are beautiful” — great exchange. Tormand is ON FIRE!!!!!
Berric and Jon have a little religion class on the “Lord of Light” — so many possibly guys could get killed tonight
Heroes do stupid things and they die — Dany’s quote of the year. This plan of Cersei meeting Dany — i kind of hate this idea. Tyrion “fear makes their power brittle”.
Tyrion talks a great game — but he always gets “out foxed” — and then he tries to have “secession plan discussion”??? The Dany and Tyrion alignment is getting tenuous at best.
The Giant White Walker Polar Bear — really bad start to this group’s expedition. Gendry (do bears have blue eyes?) I’s like that Leo DeCaprio scene from the Revenant
The Hound is paralyzed by the fire — fire kills wights — THoros of Myr is in big trouble — but he’s down for a little drink and getting his bites burnt clean — “it’s a funny old life”
Little Finger and Sansa - having “secret agent talks” — Sansa is unraveling. Sansa calls out the Northmen “bloody wind vanes” and she’s right. What is little finger cooking up with Sending “Lady Brienne away”?
Jorah asks Thoros how drunk he was when he crossed the breach on Pyke - apparently Thoros has great “beer muscles”
Welp they found some white walkers — BAD IDEA JEANS !
Here we go — Jon Kills one of the actual “Leader types” and pretty much every white walker dies too”. They are under his actual spell cuz he turned them.
And now this is about to get really bad - and apparently Gendry is a “track star” heading back to Eastwatch — how’s he know his way back?
Cracked Ice lake or fighting 10,000 wights — ohhh boy — We did call Dany rescuing them
Terrible odds for these guys and the Dead are just waiting cuz they’ve got nothing but time.
Love that their prisoner is still their prisoner — Thoros is dead - That’s not a terrible loss
The Hound really effs things up by throwing rocks at the wights — The process for lighting those swords is SUPER COOL
The maester - gives Sansa a note — she’s invited to King’s Landing - is this is a real note (or did Little Finger and Sansa Plant it)? Sansa either just played herself directly or indirectly. Either way I think Brienne is DONE
Dany - in her winter camouflage — and once again Tyion’s advice goes unheeded — she’s going North — here we go again — all three dragons are rolling with her
The Hound’s weak throwing arm - alerts the dead that the lake has refrozen
Jon Yells fall back — fall back to where dude????
Dragons are so effing effective
Night’s King’s arm is like Whoa — Dead Dragon — not good
Jon SNow’s beef with Night’s king is real — is Jon dead — Nope just really good at holding his breath. — Uncle Benjen — he’s been a major insurance policy for a long time.
Dany Sees Jon’s Scars
Sansa finds Arya’s “faces” — Their relationship is dark — Arya is going straight sociopath — I really think her and Little Finger are in over their head’s with her
Dany “needed to see” the army of the dead to understand — and she’s ready to join forces to kill the night’s king. Jon “bends the knee” from his back.
Oh those chains — still don’t get how they hooked the dragon up — but this is a game changer with a White Walker Dragon.
Wine, Wall & Dragons Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 5
Outlandish Theory of the week — We’ve got Hate Groups in the real world — And regardless of their religion or geographic location — pretty everybody who isn’t in a “hate group”, hates everyone who is in one.
Which brings me to an outlandish theory of the week — if the British sent all of their undesirables to Australia back in the day, why don’t we, as a modern international community, send all of these “haters” to Antartica.
Think about it — they all think they’re group is the best. So, all of them can have our most isolated continent and they can engage in a “Hunger Games meets Royal Rumble battle vs Each other". And the winners — get to live with penguins in peace and quiet (and sub-zero temperatures) for as long as they can survive
Bronn Lived - And Saved Jamie — what is this Bay Watch Westeros ????
Dragons are where our partnership ends - Great quote
Tyrion walking the battlefield — he seems to be at a crossroads emotionally
Dany - pep talk to try and sway the dudes who survived the dragon fight
Dickon and Mr. Tarley - trying to be hardliners — and Dany is gonna burn some Tarley’s - got the rest of those guys to kneel pretty quickly after that.
Jamie - took the express train back to King’s Landing - and breaks the news that Lady Tyrell killed Joffrey
Jon Snow has a tender moment with Drogon - He’s a warg dude — he’s got this — Dany is getting a little more loco by the day.
Joarah Mormont is BAAAAACK — Yikes! Here we go.
Bran is Warging - double here we go. Army of the Dead - Night’s King is on to Bran.
Sam Tarly - overhears the correct conversation - and gives the best possible pep talk - and the Maester’s act like liberal arts professors, not able to deal with real word problems in real time
Varys and Tyrion have some “horrible bosses” real talk time
Jon Snow - Tyrion - Dany - news of the White Walkers — Davos smuggling dudes “into” Kings Landing ??? Jorah and Jon Snow going north of the wall????? WTF to the max!
Sansa is trying to - keep the north together - Is Area really that much shorter than Sansa?
Bronn - Tyrion and Jamie in the bowels of Kings Landing
Davos is def looking for Gendry in Flea bottom and he found him pretty easily — and Gendry’s bags are literally packed - and his giant ax — like his dad Robert — Davos gets swindled by the guards, but turns the tables until Tyrion shows up — but Gendry swings a money ax
Dany wants to meet Cersei — Cersei wants Bronn punished. Cersei wants to rope a dope Dany — she’s prepared for “game 7” - Cersei is PREGGERS again?!?!?!
Gendry is taking shots at Jon’s height — good chemistry though - Better to be a coward for a minute, than dead the rest of your life - Davos quotes
So Jorah, Gendy, and Jon Snow are heading north
Gilly is back - scrolling through a secret note of Rhaegar getting remarried - obviously to Lyanna Stark - Sam is going full book stealing - he’s leaving the citadel ? Very interesting.
Little Finger’s getting spied on by Arya - he’s conspiring with Glover and the guy from the Vale. Arya best pickpocket in westeros - she and little finger are in “sneaky fest”
Tormand - good to see you buddy. The Hound, Berric and Thoros - and Gendry hates them. And Tormand hates Jorah — what a band of misfits
