Didn't win the Hugo award but we did return home to this piece of silver instead!

take heart - there are a lot of great plotlines for s4 apart from the Battle over God's Eye. There's the fallout with the seeds (the Caltrops, 2nd Tumbleton), the Moon of three kings, the Shepherd, fall of King's Landing and Dragonstone, Storming of the Dragonpit. It's quite a lot.

I doubt we're getting a full Hour of the Wolf in s4 of #houseofthedragon but we might get something like Ten Minutes of the Wolf.

“Bitchfist” is actually the name of the ship, it’s a common misconception, *I* am Bitchfist’s Monster 👹

Legend says Serwyn of the Mirror Shield got close to the dragon Urrax by showing the dragon its own reflection. GRRM had Ser Byron Swann try to repeat this trick during the Dance of the Dragons. House Swann's heraldry is two swans facing each other... like a mirror.

we don't. a lot of these are speculative from pre 2012.

it is pretty forgiving, I've noticed that too. Rather than saying you're wrong it just gives you fewer points I think. The farthest east portion of the map is outdated. The map says it is dated 2012 - which probably means it came out mere months before Lands of Ice and Fire (Oct 2012)

Fun daily (free) game that names a location in Westeros. You click the spot where that location is on the map. Closer you are, more points you get. See if you can beat my score of 965 on today's (5 questions), and tell me if you do!

Sometimes the most unassuming artefacts are utterly incredible! Take this piece of wood … It is a spear point worked from yew about 420,000 years ago! 🤯 Known as the ‘Clacton Spear’ it is the world’s oldest known preserved wooden spear! Natural History Museum, London 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows the so-called Clacton Spear point which was found in 1911 in Lower Paleolithic sediments on the foreshore at Clacton-on-Sea, Essex. It is a brown wooden spear point worked from a yew branch. At the lower end the wood is uneven where it was roughly broken in antiquity. At the top end, the wood has been worked so that it tapers to a thin point, the tip of which has now warped into a slight curve. Since it was originally found, the spear point has shrunk and is now 36.7 cm, with a maximum diameter of 3.6 cm. It is supported by two thin metal display stands above a grey surface inside a glass display case.

The museum label suggests the owner probably used the spear as a lethal weapon to stab prey at close range, generating enough force to pierce the animal's skin. On display at the Natural History Museum in London.

There are two Valyrian steel blades in this shot(!) - Vigilance and Orphan-Maker. The former is wielded by Lord Ormund Hightower (James Norton). The latter is wielded by Bold Jon Roxton (Joplin Sibtain, who was Brasso on Andor). #houseofthedragon #hotd

there was a good amount of the reverse too: - Dunk & Tanselle being shy - Egg getting nervous seeing the royals - Egg worrying he's too small to be a squire - Dunk seeing what he's truly up against re: jousting - Dunk's regret for selling Sweetfoot - Plummer's wide eyed fear of what Dunk might say

I enjoyed ep2 showcasing various types of confidence: Maekar - angry confidence Baelor - serene Aerion - arrogant Kingsguard - skill at arms, fame Steely Pate - sense of self, no BS Ser Lyonel - has seen it all Ser Arlan - uhhh well endowed Dunk - humble Egg - precocious Tanselle - stage presence

Were you the person who tentatively asked "Wild Cards...?" and I have audio of it for our own personal reference, but it's not high quality, and we aren't allowed to post panel recordings! I can certainly clip that audio snippet and send it to you privately, assuming that's the part you want.
