direwoofwoof Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Can we take a moment to appreciate the beauty of that library? Samwell looked like he was going to faint. Loved the snarkiness if the receptionist guy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shireen Purratheon Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Like the Library of Congress meets the Library at Alexandria in the biggest university in the world. With as fast as word gets around, how did nobody at the Citadel know the Old Bear was dead? I also loved seeing the white ravens in the air as they're looking out across the city. That was a fun touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew after seeing Horn Hill and how awesome it looked that Oldtown and Highgarden would look absolutely incredible. I was not disappointed that view was stunning.

Into the Weirwood Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 That was and probably will be the only moment in which I wished I was Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lannister Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 That maester was an amusing character as well. Really captured the bureaucratic nature of Oldtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam141414 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Is becoming a Maester, the equivalent to holding an M.D and PhD. They are the doctors, in addition to world historians with in depth knowledge of law & everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw of House Boltagon Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Was I the only one expecting to see Jaqen there, walking past Sam carrying a bunch of books like, sup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I loved the library and also the establishing shot of Oldtown with those hundreds of white ravens being sent out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea... :/ I was half expecting him to tell Sam that Jon Snow wasn't LC because he was dead. I'm just going to chalk it up to nobody from Castle Black thinking to send a raven (though little Lady Mormont knew...), and nobody else caring with all the shenanigans that have been going on in KL.

In a world where Varys can teleport where ever he wants in the blink of an eye, no one has any knowledge whatsoever of the many battles and changing of titles in Castle Black, it's mind boggling. However yes, that library was amazing and I'm only sad I don't live in it. Hopefully Sam doesn't forget about Gilly and the baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Sam knew exactly what they meant, too; did you see his expression? My only complaint is that those were crows whose cries we were hearing, not ravens! Can they really believe we’re all so stupid as not to be able to tell the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read the books, so I I was hoping one of the readers would have more insight. But I had to rewind and take a closer look. Nice that it is all coming together and Sam will be he one to put it all together for us all. The Citadel - where all information and history *should* be stored. However, the gatekeeper didn't know about LC Mormont or Maester Aemon and just crossed their names out rather than giving them an end date and entering new LC names and Maester names. Pretty odd if it intended to be the sacred place to learn the history of everything in GoT world. No one will ever know that anyone took over those two positions, so are we expected to believe the "watch ended" when those two names were crossed out? And the Crows were disbanded at that time, White Walkers are entering south, no reports to the Citadel about them (hello Sam and Gilley, wanna mention that first thing?).

HellasLEAF Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Another great scene. It started so dark, and the touching of the chains. And slowly brighter and the reveal. Like he was free, or that he had found his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just having major time jumps between scenes, without a text explicitly stating the time jump. I wish they didn't eschew the convention of having text on the screen stating "3 months later..."
