Trope: a word, phrase, or image used in a new and different way in order to create an artistic effect
I usually get out at least once a week. Just got back from a Memorial Day trip to Pinehurst and the game was surprisingly good considering I had shoulder surgery around New Years.
Honestly, I wouldn't hate any of that minus preferring Jon to survive. I like Cersei because her character is interesting and complicated and I think taking down everyone with her as a result of her final machinations would be fitting.
Ahhhhh this is going to be glorious. Can't wait.
So im thinking jon dies in his final battle with the night's king but kills the night's king in the process. That would be pretty bittersweet.
Likewise I think cersei burns kings landing to the ground after tommen is killed and kills the Tyrells doing so and essentially commits some awful war crime to kill the high sparrow
Then I think once the wall comes crumbling down everyone pledges their allegiance to dani if she can kill the white walkers and win the war for them
How's that for some interesting twists?
Doubtful that it could be done. There are something like 3 smiths in the world that know how to work Valyrian steel. Unless one of those guys does it, and somehow manages to meld normal steel and Valyrian steel, it's not likely to work. And maybe it's not about amount, but purity - if you befoul the best steel in the world with common stuff, is it really even Valyrian steel any more?
Beamer should be the special guest picker. He can stroll out with a milkshake in hand.
Yeah. . . the Tennessee fans
So you could theoretically melt one valyrian steel sword and dip a bunch of average joe sword tips in it and be in good shape?
Well it will definitely be Gameday. I hope that somewhere in the SEC lovefest we at least get 1 interesting story about the changing of the guard from Frank to Fuente, and also a good story about how awesome Beamer is.
A guy can wish.
Agreed. The way it looks right now, Drogon himself seems like he would eventually be capable of leveling an entire horde of wights with minimal effort.
I'm sure the White Walkers themselves would pose a be of a challenge to the dragons, but its already been shown that you don't even need a master sword fighter to kill one of them with the right tools (see: Sam and Meera) Give me Jon Snow, Brienne, (The Hound? oh please oh please oh please), and 1-2 other swordsman of note and I would like their chances against the White Walkers themselves.
Given that the results of (1) obsidian dagger in the shoulder (Sam), (2) Valyrian steel sword slash (Jon), and (3) obsidian spear tip to the chest (Meera) all have the same effect, I doubt there's a "how much" involved. It's binary. Kill or no kill.
In the GOT universe yes, but strictly speaking show wise we only know of those four plus I guess the dagger Little Finger has.
Also, someone posed an interesting question on r/Gameofthrones. How much dragonglass/valyrian steel does it take to kill a white walker? We've seen entire swords do it and little spears of it.
Lived in Seattle for 8 years...check out Druids Glen. I love that course!!

Looks to be a few more.
I thought the show has only shown us four valyrian steel blades? Longclaw, Oathkeeper, Widows Wail, and Heartsbane. Heartsbane seemed to be the only pay off for this stupid Sam and Gilly plot.

Thanks! If you have a link go ahead and post it so others can get a sleeve. r/Golf has had some seeding threads and it worked well.
I also picked up four cases of Maxfli Revolutions from Dicks last night at $4.00/case. Can't beat that for water holes.
I'll be in Eatonton area for most of the time. Wife and I are going to visit family and they have a lake house on Lake Sinclair. I'm open to course recommendations! All the lake courses are private :(
In theory, three (or two or one) swiftly moving dragons should be able to defeat any amount of wights without any issues. Barring some kind of deus ex machina anti-dragon magic/weapon/circumstance, what the hell can a bunch of zombies do against a dragon spraying fire at them from out of reach. I highly doubt a thrown spear from a zombie or such would significantly wound a huge dragon.
I am out in Seattle, great golf here. I started playing in 2012, game really improved once I got custom-fit for irons. The are Mizunos bent upright, 1/2" long, etc. Generally I hit them very well. Still struggle off the tee. Shot my personal best 83 on Sunday. Only second time under 90. Played Chambers Bay two years ago before the US Open - shot a 121. Toughest course I've ever played.
Every single human death does not become a White Walker. They become a wight, but as the Hardhome battle showed, the wights go down to sword blows just as easily as anything else. Lighting them on fire is the only way to permanently be rid of them, but a skeleton with no arms or legs is not much of a threat anymore. They aren't zombies that can turn you by biting you. A wight that lacks the capacity to kill you through conventional means is basically nothing. I could see an organized army of Northern or Southern houses being much more effective than the horde of Wildlings which had a huge amount of women and children.
Granted, you need obsidian or Valyrian steel to deal with the White Walkers themselves, but the show has given the indication that there aren't a huge amount of those guys, the main bulk of their strength is the undead they raise up. I could easily see a scenario where 3 dragons would be able to wreck some havoc on their ranks.
There are more than 4 White Walkers. We don't know how many exactly, but the show gives the impression that its not a huge number, but certainly more than 4.
The 4 on horseback we saw in that particular scene were the Nights King and perhaps his "lieutenants" if you will, but there are more than 4 White Walkers in total.
Warthog, where you headed in GA? My brother is stationed at Warner Robins AFB and he knows that area well for golf.
If Gameday is there, would they have two guest pickers since it's a neutral site game? One who supports Vols and one who supports Hokies.
