okay, so that's actually a really good point, an obsidian sword would be garbage, but the stuff under dragonstone appears to have been prepared. So yeah, Dragonstone = Volcanic obsidian, but that does not equal dragonglass.
In Season 7, when JONGON pledged on the premise that Daenerys would A) fight the dead. B) Supply Dragon Glass. We don't know if she used the dragons to make the obsidian super special, since this isn't star trek, and they're not going to run an organothallium pulse through the deflector array.
Anyway, he took her down to the magic cave, and there were cave drawings on how to fight the white walkers. Also he probably boned her. He's got a thing with caves, and the ladies do not complain. Apparently he gets a skill bonus modifier in caves.
I am very pissed at the ever shortening seasons, we used to get 14, and episode 9 was where poo went nuts. Now, we get less, because apparently it cost more. Like it won't golly them in subscription numbers when the show ends.
I think Jon still loves her, I don't think the incest thing freaks him out because no one knows jack poo about genetics, just that Targaryen babies are a risky deal no matter who the father is. Jon doesn't want the throne, he's made that abundantly clear.
Daenerys on the other hand, does not seem to be taking ANYTHING well this episode. She's shown she can conquer, but she's done golly all to prove that she's cut out to rule. Ser davos cut her down AMAZINGLY when Missandei laid out all her royal titles, and he said "He's Jon Snow".
The Crypts? Honestly, I don't think they're going to do it, but a great way to cut costs would to have the crypts shake, show the people cowering within, maybe have a bit of a break where Davos has to kick some ass.
A lot of the crypt baiting in this episode was seeing who might bow out from the fighting. Tyrion's being sent down despite WANTING to fight. Gilly is down by default, but she looked pregnant to me, plus she's never been a fighter.
Little Bear Lady Lyanna Mormont aquitted herself well against her cousin, the disgraced Jorah Mormont. She's gonna fight, and if she dies, I'll be unhappy, because she's been pretty bless'ed boss so far. Took up the Lordship bold as brass, declared for her king, and called him a damn' moron when he gave it up.
The other little girl has me super wary, she's burnt. That's not dragonscale like Shireen suffered, but this little girl is damn near tailor made to pull on Ser Dadvos strings. If the white walkers found a way to keep the eyes from being neon blue, she'd be the perfect trojan horse. She only needs to stab like, two people, and the crypts will become a battleground of their own.
People have been bitching about the dragonglass for a while. I feel like the forge scene before the forge sex scene was kind of a "golly you" to those people, when Arya takes up the spear heads and tosses em like a damn' ninja.
Ah, people I want alive, maybe Tyrion's off it, since he seems destined to golly things up somehow.
I'd say, Ghost, Arya, Brienne, Davos, Gilly, (sadly not sam, he's going to be such a badass, but I don't see him surviving) Little Sam, because he's with his mum, Yara (Her cousin is gonna gut her), nobody on team Cersei, so explode kings landing, and Meera? I'm actually glad Meera got the golly out of things, she lost everything, fell in love with Bran, and Bran died.
That being said, much has been made of the denizens of house Reed, even though the show seems to have written them off. They're a mix of silent assasin ninjas and swamp people. Also, they are very short. Which would be awesome in fight scenes. Bunch of ninjas just doing their thing... Silently.
I'd like Pod to live, but he sang this episode, that's a death flag. Like talking about how many days you have until retirement. Oh poo, Missendi is screwed. She totally did that.
Jon died. Blades through the heart do that. Sometimes Priests or Priestesses of Rhylor can bring you back. Ser Beric Donderion, of the whiskey voice, currently getting shitfaced on the battlements with the hound, has been brought back a whopping nine times.
You lose part of yourself each time. Jon made Melisandre swear not to do it again, he says it removed joy from his life, but he was never happy to begin with, so who knows. Apparently he was pretty far away from resurrection though, either because it was hard (Melisandre thought she failed) or HBO were being teasy naffs (They waited until the end of the episode for him to gasp awake).
He used this super legit death to resign his lifelong vow to the night's watch, leaving Edd in charge. Edd is in winterfell now, alive. He gave Sam poo for becoming a badass and getting a woman.
Jon does not want the throne. He never has. But he also tries not to lie. I feel like that was just the worst time possible for him to reveal it, but hey, them's the breaks.
Seriously, any questions you have, lob em, this is fun.
