The Daily Raven’s Simone Boyce is back with her thoughts on the last few episodes!
(*Mild spoiler:The video mentions a yet-to-be-seen character and possible foreshadowing at one point*)
And then he was stumbling forward, falling more than running, really, closing his eyes and shoving the dagger blindly out before him with both hands. He heard a crack, like the sound ice makes when it breaks beneath a man’s foot, and then a screech so shrill and sharp that he went staggering backward with his hands over his muffled ears, and fell hard on his arse.
When he opened his eyes the Other’s armor was running down its legs in rivulets as pale blue blood hissed and steamed around the black dragonglass dagger in its throat. It reached down with two bone-white hands to pull out the knife, but where its fingers touched the obsidian they smoked.
Sam rolled onto his side, eyes wide as the Other shrank and puddled, dissolving away. In twenty heartbeats its flesh was gone, swirling away in a fine white mist. Beneath were bones like milkglass, pale and shiny, and they were melting too.Finally only the dragonglass dagger remained, wreathed in steam as if it were alive and sweating.
The initial viewer number for this week’s episode of Game of Thrones has bounced back and topped the five million mark once again.
Meta Monday: Marriage Customs
“The cloak,” she commanded, and the women brought it out: a long cloak of white velvet heavy with pearls. A fierce direwolf was embroidered upon it in silver thread. Sansa looked at it with sudden dread. “Your father’s colors,” said Cersei, as they fastened it about her neck with a slender silver chain.
A maiden’s cloak. Sansa’s hand went to her throat. She would have torn the thing away if she had dared.
On the heels of last night’s marriage between Tyrion and Sansa on Game of Thrones and on the eve of Edmure’s festive wedding at the Twins, today’s topic is marriage customs in Westeros and medieval Europe. The marriages in Westeros are shaped by their religions—the Faith, the Old Gods, and the Drowned God. In medieval Europe, however, only one religion, Christianity, shaped marriage customs, and as we might see, those customs were not as religious as we might expect.
Joined once again by the Fury herself of WinterisComing.net, listen and learn the affects of Tyrion’s drunken decisions, and much more.
