how beric has a FA is unexplained because there is no explanation suitable without unraveling the entire fucking show.

I feel pretty strongly that Show Beric has taken over Book Stannis' arc - thus he has the fire sword that Stannis' was kind of turning into in the books, without much explanation for Beric other than lol lord of light.

At least, that's what I tell myself to feel better. Stannis 4 life!

Also why was cersei never a Baratheon. She's been Cersei Lannister all through books and show. Caitlyn took her married name. Arryns wife too.

For the same reason that Elia Martell stayed a Martell despite being married to Rhaegar. You don't take the name of a royal family when you marry into it.

Isn't Beric's flaming sword essentially produced by a form of blood magic as well? Originally he lit it by cutting his hand open as he passed it down the blade though in the last episode they seemed to have dispensed with that.

its all over the place. there was no FA in the books and in the show Thoros only can light up his sword with wildfire. mel only lit up stannis sword for effect to get people to follow him. i dont think it was a magical sword or something that was inherent in the steel or wielder. so "show" beric with a flaming sword that destroys WWs should not exist. also beric's blood if it can light up swords should make his sword no more special than stannis's.

lol is this a shoop or was it in the show? i never noticed the lightning bolt shoot out of his wrist.

That's just part of the flame. There's no lightning bolt.

it's jagged like a lightning bolt. wouldnt a flame be more blueish like a blowtorch or a ball?

This is going to sound strange, but I believe the fire sword was a practical effect, as opposed to CGI. If it were practical, then the sleeve was made from a flame retardant material. However, by pulling his hand up the sword, the sleeve "cupped" some of the vapors of whatever made the sword have fire. It's probably a gas line, similar to a tiki torch. Anyway, the "lightning" look was the gasses that had been cupped by the sleeve actually burning off. Not a big deal.

Beric Dondarion was called the "The Lightning Lord" because he his attacks were struck hard and fast... like a blitzkreig....

Guess that confirms that he is a nazi.

People thinking that's lightning but calling Longclaw eye opening a reflection.

because glass reflects light and fire doesnt jag?

Anyone know what the music is called when the Dragons attack - was in the scene above and also the Beyond the Wall Dragon/NK battle

Yeah, they CGI'd that lightning bolt and the eye movement just so that super autistic fucks could figure it out and feel special while it had absolutely no bearing on the story whatsoever. Seems like a great idea.

Does someone have video of that scene at normal speed? Watching something 1000 times in a row will make you see shit that was never intended. This is Lost-level stupidity when you start inspecting shit in slow motion and on loop.

its why i asked if that was a shoop. because you cant really see it at normal speed but its there if you look for it.
