Cersei was gifted every conceivable advantage a women in Westeros could have. Wealthiest father in the land, married the King, lover with best knight in the land. she's now in a spot where she has largely lost control of her son (the King, btw) and is in an emerging political battle with 2 women who just arrived in KL (Margaery and her grandmother). forced to beg her father to listen to her, who then tells her she's not all that. Dany meanwhile is a teenage married off to a barbarian tribe who has no respect for him or her brother. she has nothing. she forces the leader of that tribe to respect her and he falls for her. she gets dragons gifted to her, sure, but is smart enough to reject the false help of everyone in Qarth, survives the traps there, and then has the foresight to use the dragons to gain a huge army for free (this may seem LDO as a plan, but both Selmy and Mormont were dead set against this). | ||

On average, each story only gets ~5min of screen time per episode. I really look forward to when the different stories start interweaving more and everything comes together. i think davos is the main character of dragonstone "arc", not stannis XD so much shit happen to him and not much to stannis | ||

It´s always interweaving, what happens on one end can have consequences in the other end, it´s just that sometimes the impact is more subtle than others. Now I can imagine the book is worse. | ||

So the whole dragon knife glass thing. Was that the same knife used on the attempted assassination on Bran. Not asking for spoilers, but is it a fair assumption that is the same knife she was referring to. Since it was quite obvious who the face changer and the pirate was lol. This is a very good show to rewatch, you catch small details like these.  | ||

This is a very good show to rewatch, you catch small details like these. I have no idea, Valarian steel and dragon glass are 2 different things. Valarian steel is basically a super sharp sword, think of Damascus steel for all intends and puposes. Dragon glass is what Samwell, Grenn and Edd find near the Fist of the First Men according to the TV show wiki. Source It's under the tag The Prince of Winterfell | ||

I seem to remember the lord Commander sending him for King's landing with the dead hand, but I don't recall what the response was. Did we ever get one? I think they just forgot about him, it shouldn't take a full series to get from Castle Black to Kings Landing. I don't think we'll be seeing Alistair Thorne again. | ||

I would think we see him again, if you recall he was the one who let Tyrion know that the wall needed more men (you hear this in a council meeting and I believe Cersei shrugs it off). This was before the Lord Commander decided to go out into the north and bring the fight there. | ||

This video is from Stannis point of view. He talks about the Targaryens in Dragon Stone and and talks about how it's filled with dragon glass. He claims it's totally useless. "Too brittle for war and too sharp for building." The show has made it obvious that he's wrong though in saying it's useless. This also tells us that it's probably not that valuable. | ||
