If you're looking for a good podcast this is a really good one. They do 3 podcasts per episode. An instacast which is done immediately after the show, a deep dive, and then one that they talk about the best emails and tweets. They also do a great podcast, same format for Westworld.
Whats up with Jorah at the citadel? Is he some sort of prisoner or is he a patient? Or is he C) All of the above?
I just rewatched the episode; I'm guessing he's in quarantine?
“Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.” ― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
It also strikes me now that, depending on the timeline of all of this, if Euron sailed his armada into Blackwater Bay, and Dany seized Dragonstone with her armada, then Euron is trapped in Blackwater Bay no? The same reason why Euron holding Dragonstone would've prevented Dany getting in to King's Landing means that Dany holding Dragonstone prevents Euron getting out of Blackwater Bay.
Ugh. This is all pretty dumb from the greatest captain across the 14 seas.
He's pretty Jack Sparrow, no? Looks like he's making stuff up as he goes along... but in fact it was a super clever plan and he waited until "the gift" aka Tyrion Lannister shows up on Dragonstone and NOW he can capture it.
“Don’t fight in the North, or the South. Fight every battle everywhere. Always, in your mind.”
Dragonstone was empty bc there aren't enough episodes to show us her cleaning house (except for 1 gd banner and the messy table due to making shadow babies). #lazy
I'll confess, that it is an old complaint of mine this emptiness the show is displaying in some of the prominent locations. The Water Gardens of Dorne, the Eyrie in the Vale, Meereen's pyramid where Dany was located, now Dragonstone. It looks void of servants, of retinue of things laying about, of tables with food and furniture. I blame Martin more than the show's budget/screentime sometimes. His books are rich in description, his locations are vivid and full of life, every page is full with stuff and poeple. Back in the Eyrie in season 4 when Sansa and Petyr come to the Vale, I felt like that castle is deserted not only of people but of furnishings! If not for the only 4 characters they populated the sets with and the lemoncakes Lysa put on the table, I would would have thought everyone retreated to the Riverlands with all their belongings...
What I'm saying is that I understand the budget and time constraints. I would probably not moan and criticize it so if I were not forever comparing it with the source material Show world feels poorer. Totally fault.

The least they could have done was a 3 second shot of the dragons flying over the castle and people fleeing. That would have been enough to explain the emptiness of the city.

Dany did make him swear to find a cure. It makes sense that he would have made an attempt to get to the Citadel in Westeros. I'm curious what the grey scale disease will play in the final episodes? Is grey scale and the white walkers similar in some way since dragon glass seems to be the "cure" for both?

That's a good question. I'm confused why dragonglass is sort of the cure-all for everything in Westeros. As far as the White Walkers, I thought he turned the little baby by some kind of ice magic, so I don't know if he used dragonglass, per se. When you say "cure" when referring to the White Walkers, do you mean because they can be killed by dragonglass? I wonder if the NK is the only ice being with dragonglass plunged in his chest and Uncle Benjen maybe? It's all very confusing to me, but I'm trying to make sense of it.

I think the name is a hint that it affects dragons, and turns them to stone.

I think that 3 second shot you mention would have taken a week maybe if people were involved let alone the editing and CGI effects. Not making excuses or anything, would have loved it myself, but it would have been costly for those 3 seconds. Still thinking of the Drogon flying over KL. That's got to be this season. Wonder how much they've put into that one.

SEVEN BLESSINGS TO YOU! I found someone who thinks grey scale is SUPER important in fighting the Others I've been floating that idea EVERYWHERE where I post. (And I do post in lots of places. Or at least I did when I was extremely hopeful that Winds will come out last year.) And nobody gave it a second thought.
Shireen having it and Val being afraid of it is clearly a BIG THING! I just didn't know what to make of it since the wildlings clearly know of it, and think the only cure is a death.
No show Jorah went to Oldtown and met with Sam who's looking for something big, some weapon to fight the others. It's got to have a meaning, right?! Benioff and Weiss did say they'll get to the same end game, but taking different roads...
I'm too excited for words. I mean for me this is big. I've had this idea for years and no valid clue that it might be important. Now it may happen!
