IcySystem

In the very first 1-2 minutes of the histories and lore Bran talks about weapons of the First Men: - First Men used bronze against the children (and in general, I guess) - Andals used iron/early steel, superior metallurgy, which was one of the reasons they could conquer westeros against the First Men

Valyria ruled most of the Free Cities and the cities of Slaver's Bay, so everyone in Essos speak High Valyrian.

They did mention the material of the weapons the Andals and first men used. The first men used bronze and the Andals used iron

Coral of Bread

One of the best endings in the entire series

ohhh whattt! I don't remember that at all! Dang!

IcySystem

Valyrian is a bit like the Latin, which stayed relevant even long after the fall of the Roman empire. Edit: maybe not the best comparison, since Latin is a dead language, but priests still learn it to this day.

Coral of Bread

Yes. Remember Varys was cut. Those 8000 unsullied were also cut. All alive when it happened

basically Bran is a warg + something extra and Jojen isn't a warg but has what's called green dreams, kind of similar to dragon dream (prophetic dreams that some Targaryen's sometimes have)

IcySystem

Well, the question is valid though. Your survival chance with the medical equipment and knowledge at the time is probably below 50% because of blood loss, infections and urinary problems.

"Are you angry with me?" -Talisa Here is one of my go-to lines that explains why I don't like Talissa as a character. It's so anachronistic and out of step with the actual worldbuilding that you can tell its a contrived line just to evoke "awwws" from a casual audience. Talissa is QUEEN of the North, her FIRST duty would be to give Robb an heir. ESPECIALLY during WARTIME. Yet to give her a "vulnerable" or "sympathetic" moment, something that could be ripped straight from a soap opera or WB teen drama set in the 2000s, they have her question if a king of a feudal system would be angry that his wife is pregnant. This after we've spent three seasons, and even this episode with everyone telling Tyrion to put a son in the Stark girl, telling the audience how important it is for stability to produce heirs. Its just so grating to me. It lives right next to another brain dead line she said earlier in the season when looking at a map, and uttering "I don't even know where Winterfell is." You, highborn girl that speaks multiple languages, and managed to travel halfway across the world to another country across the sea and navigate yourself to countryside where battles are happening in order to treat wounded solders, somehow have become Queen of a region and haven't once stopped to look at a map to know where said kingdom is located. It just betrays the worldbuilding and instead of endearing me to Talisa like they intended, instead of making her seem more relatable or quirky, it just makes her seem aloof and unserious, and quite frankly, unrealistic. Just contrast the dialogue Robb and Talissa have and what it says about them with the dialogue Jon and Ygritte have and what it says about them. The Jon/Ygritte dynamic and conflict is so distinctly tied to the worldbuilding, their back and forths just naturally evolve out of their backgrounds and worldviews clashing, right along with their loyalties and romantic/sexual attraction to each other. And with Talisa we get "are you angry with me?" (…and a nice butt lol)

You know whats funny with Ygritte, the actress has Royal Blood with Castle and all and she portrays a very unpolished woman😅. She is a descendant of King Charles II

I typically stay away from comments like these just so I can *try* to stay unbiased hahah but THIS ONE COOKS Something this episode really put a sour taste in my mouth about Talisa and I couldn't figure out what it was, but I think you're right on the money with this. I hate hate hate when shows try to water down a female character or make her seem a little less intelligent. I also feel like her character has changed quite a bit from the feisty Talisa we met in the first scene with her. I think I would like her more if she was just as bold and feisty now... but unfortunately she's not!

Its interesting to watch someone view this show from a logical/competitive view lol normal people would be like "Lets go Arrya, fuck it lets go find your family!" vs Licha "I don't know guys, I don't think that was the most strategic move." Nothing wrong with it btw lol just so different from other reactors where it's all about entertainment.

Valyrian will probably become a dead language in a thousand years as well, considering how spread out the cultures that speak it are.

Licha’s right though. Killing Karstark might have been the ‘right’ and ‘good’ thing to do, but we see the consequences…

IcySystem

I remember when I was young 10 years ago, I was all in on the Robb + Talisa love story. Reminded me very much of my first relationship. I think most people watching first time love this couple. Most people get arranged marriages and here you have pure, passionate love in contrast. It's certainly interesting to have a cautious and worried perspective from you as reactor :) I checked who wrote episode 7 and it was actually GRRM himself, which surprised me a bit considering the valid critizism from the poster above.

James Thomas

Yeah as an actual character she is really lacking, she's got no genuine personality. She has traits and emotions occasionally, but there is nothing to Talisa the character. I kinda get why they added her into the show but honestly it just makes the story more convoluted.

James Thomas

Damn forgot how good this episode actually was, I think this one doesn't get spoken about nothing when talking about episodes that GRRM wrote. Kit Harington, bless him, puts in a great performance here, he looks uncomfortable for most of the first two seasons but he really picks up in this season. Rose leslie is probably why though, she is just so fun. Jaime in the bear pit as well is just so wonderful, he didn't have to save her. You can tell that he genuinely wants Brienne to understand him; she reminds of the boy he used to be, someone who believed in honour and and nobility before he let himself become the 'kingslayer'. That idealism is clearly still in Jaime though, lets see if he can follow through on his oath.

I have for a long time said S4 is my favorite followed closely by S1 but I guess I had forgotten how good this season was. Almost every episode is gold.

My_Cousin_Mose

I've seen quite a few GoT reactions and unlike most Licha's involve critical thinking and not just cheering on the main cast. Not to say other GoT reactions have been bad but these are easily better in my opinion.

Jermaine Lee

I love how we all see things diffrent. I always thought she adjusted to Robb's stress once he started loosing the war, and provided to him what he needed. Never looked at it as being dumbed down. I thought she was perfect fir what he needed, but I can see your view now.
