Game of Thrones

2) Most important, he is the only guy about who can work with Valeryian steel. He made needle for Arya if you can recall?
3) Remember Davos likes the lad and saved him, knowing who his Dad was.

Needle was made by the Winterfel blacksmith, commissioned by Jon. None of the Starks met Gendry until Ned went looking for Rob's bastards. Davos saved him, not because of who his dad was, but because he was just an innocent lad from Flea Bottom (where Davos grew up) who was about to be sacrificed by the Red Witch (who Davos has always hated).

Spoiler

Gendry is in this season. The actor was photographed on set.

The biggest problem is Euron has the Dragonhorn.

In the books, yes. But there hasn't been a single mention or clue about this in the T.V. show, so unless they pull it out 'deus ex machina' (which would be pretty bad writing on their part), I don't think it will feature. Could be wrong, but I'd be surprised.

No different to some of the actors IMO. I had a similar reaction to seeing Sheeran when Jim Broadbent appeared as the lead maester fellow.

A fair point indeed. I think the close up and lingering shot on his face was what did it 'hey look Ed Sheeran is here guys' kinda thing. I did think 'ahh there is Jim Broadbent' but quickly forgot/suspended my disbelief.

Arya was imprisoned with Gendry, Gendry stayed with the Men with no banners until sold. Gendry is Stannis's nephew too. Davos saved for mercy but got on wuth the lad as they rowed.

I see Ed Sheeran deleted his twitter due to the backlash he was getting over his GoT appearance.

Lol.

We watched season six again to catch up as you can easily lose feel of the plot over time.
I could do with watching all of the seasons again as you miss so much the first time around which is what I shall do.

Anyway we watched the battle of the bastards season 6 which was the penultimate episode before season 7
We have a new TV and watched the battle twice because it was that intense and we wanted to appreciate the colours and sound produced.
I'm drifting slightly but the jist is we watched Johhny Vegas do at least six re-takes for a 30 second scene the other day on the promenade.
Can you even then begin to imagine how long that battle scene took to master to utter perfection.
These people are consumate profesionals and this programme has to rank up there with the best ever that was made for film or tv.
Thank you so much to Viridian for these threads.

Sword sworcery and fantasy are my genre since the early works of Robert Ervin Howard.The man was a literary genius and I do not say that lightly.
However .. and no disrespect but was this series copied from Howards mythological world of Hyboria and his Hyborian age.
Was the inspiration for fire and ice derived from Conan the cimmerian and Howards fantasy world ? I wonder.

all that was said in Sam conversation with Stanis was that they had it at dragonstone, not by how much though.

It has been noticed that the picture in the book has the dragonglass on tge coast in a cave/mine much like the cave Danny walks past on the beach.

If so maybe Stanis and Ser Davos wasn't aware, shirlely there would be dragonglass hanging about the castle and that is what Stanis was refering to at the wall.

I guess this bit was included to manufacture a path to the...

Spoiler: Spoiler?

cure for grayscale. Sam will look at the page again and, all of a sudden, notice the cure for grayscale is dragon glass and go off to cure Jorah.

MORE IMPORTANTLY....

I just caught a 10 second preview for episode two, and...

Spoiler: Oooooooo

NYMERIA!

Thank god another dire wolf is back!!!! The only reason I even watch... ;)

The horn will feature as it's the reason the wall crumbles, they'll most likely show Sam explain it to Gilly after she reads it in one of the books at the Citadel... but he'll talk about it as if it's common knowledge in the 7 kingdoms, but also to explain it to the viewers.

lol shame that, he seems a sound fella, just management oversight on the production i think. Some twat on set is mates with him so they had a word and before you know it Ed is a Lannister soldier.

Ah, the mythical land of Argos.

I'm not so sure. I think the wall will be breached because

Spoiler

Bran has been marked by the Night King and in crossing beyond the wall's magic he will allow the NK to get through (as happened with the THree Eyed Raven's lair). The lad who played Bran may have recently hinted that the NK get's in because of a cock-up

Guess we'll see!
