Game of Thrones 3.8 "Second Sons" (spoilers)

[NewJeffCT]

Good episode tonight, featuring that sweetheart Mero, the Titan's Bastard, and the intro of Daario Naharis, as well as Sam becoming Sam the Slayer... though, no witnesses save Gilly on the show.

Poor Sansa & Tyrion.

Two weeks till the next episode - Behind the Candelabra is on next Sunday night.

Show Sam the Secret Slayer.

So the rumours were correct that there's a going to be a longer wait for the next one? What is Behind the Candelabra and why would that affect it?

It's a biopic of Liberace starring Michael Douglas as Liberace and Matt Damon as his lover - so, two pretty big A List stars.

Hated the ending of this episode. The obsidian "dagger" can kill a white walker who just shatters steel and Sam just leaves it on the ground?

I do find it intriguing that Tyrion may be reaching a point where he (probably with Bron's help, but I don't know) appears to be ready to take action against Joffrey and maybe Tywin. I thought Margery might be Joffrey's undoing, but now my guess switches to Tyrion, especially if Joffrey goes after Sansa.

Cersei needs to die as she's adding nothing to the story. There are enough villainous types that a free-range biznitch is kinf of pointless.

Well, Sam has not exactly acquitted himself as a brave warrior since the beginning of the show, and competence has not been his forte.

What? no blue beard for Naharis? I am dissapointed

I don't think I'd be particularly willing to sift through White Walker remains, even in order to retrieve a super-knife. Who knows what that ice might do to you if you touched it?

 

[jonesy]

I thought Sam had a whole bunch of the daggers. Or did he leave the rest of the ones they found with the Watch?

They found a whole bunch - not sure where they all are.
