No the gold made it back to KL. That was the grain she burned.

Ah shit, just checked - you're right.

 

[donkyboy]

I'm really bored of bran. Can't he have a useful vision rather than just telling everyone what they've been up to recently? Also, that tree he sits next to is really daft looking. It reminds of meet the veggies from Mr bloom on CBBC.

dont mock the old gods.

 

[Gromit]

Ah shit, just checked - you're right.

They made a huge deal about that being the tail end of the column.

So we still have the troops, supplies and the gold from the rest of the column in Cersei's grubby little paws.

Deliberate scripting to allow us a pretty battle but not end the conflict prematurely.

 

[belboid]

Ah shit, just checked - you're right.

Yes, even tho it makes little sense - Cersei having told the Iron Bank that Jaimie was bringing the gold back personally, and yet he is miles back, not even at the Blackwater Rush yet

 

[Orang Utan]

How do you mean? The gold was in the supply wagons which were burned to a crisp - Cersei is basically fucked now with no gold to pay the iron bank. The gold was useless to Daenerys though because she won't deal with the Iron Bank (them being friends of the slavers). The advantage is in her denying it to the Lannisters.

Nope. Listen next time!

Nope. Listen next time!

Can't be bothered

Jon's trick with the chalk was pretty sneaky but clever.

Epic wingman Davos surely responsible? Jon's not that clever

Anyway, the latest tl:dw -

Those petroglyphs went from your standard swirls and whatnot to a pretty detailed bas relief of white walkers in a pretty implausible fashion.

That's a good point. But Sam's boring as hell, even if he is the heir to the Tarly

We'd watched an episode of iZombie (which isn't bad, but not great) afterwards. At one point, a character hurriedly hid a handgun in a drawer next to a copy of Uncle Vanya. Cute.

The squiggles have (possibly) got 'religious' significance to the children of the forest, so they keep drawing them. Happens here so it's plausible

They didn't show the wall where they illustrated how to defeat them but painted in cubist style.

written by a 14 year old, it seems. bag of shite.

No problem with the squiggles, they looked the part, it was when it then went to detailed portrayals of white walkers it looked too convenient.

So Cersei's latest master plan is to pay for 10 000 of the best sell swords in Essos to come to Westeros, a company who are lead by Blackfyre* loyalists and whos members are often those exiled for fighting for the Targaryen against Baratheon.

Either there is going to be a big break in continuity over what the Golden Company is or this may not go according to plan.

*Blackfyres are a branch of Targaryen who thought they should have inherited the throne and led several rebellions to claim it.
Dark Lady did not show up, perhaps Blackfyre might.

I presume these children of the forest have been mentioned before but I'd never heard of them. Are they book things?

Remember the little elf things with the hand grenades? End of series 4

Vaguely. So it's all part of the dull Bran/3 eyed raven story arc. No wonder I wasn't paying attention.

They created the White Walkers. I can't remember why now, but they fucked up, and the Whites went rogue.

 

[Fez909]

Just had a quick read on Wiki.

The tooled-up elfs were at war with the First Men. Created the White Walkers as a weapon, it seems. Backfired.

 

[mojo pixy]

The Children of the Forest were the ones who made the Night King in the first place, to drive away the first men.

Ok, so they fucked up shit, asked the first men to help then ran off to live in a cave. Fuck 'em. Set a dragon on them.

 

[cybershot]

Which dragon dies by the end of the season?

Pete's.

 

[mojo pixy]

Yeah, now it's everyone's problem.

Actually the forest-creatures-create-a-monster-they-can't-control-which-then-terrorizes-the-lands trope is a fairly reliable fantasy RPG hook, so well done to GRRM for bringing it back to life again (so to speak)

 

[cybershot]

Pete's.

Someone else certainly needs to learn how to fly one, because if she's going to fly them in a straight line in front of those launcher things she'll have none left soon.

obvious analogy with technology of course
