S05 E05 Jorah Mormont and Tyrion Lannister - The Doom of Valyria

[monsieurcondottiero]

“How many centuries before we learn how to write television like this? For 5 seasons, the GoT writers were the best in the world at almost everything. And then…”

“And then they weren’t.”

“And then they weren’t.”

[dariohorvat]

They held each other close and turned their backs upon the end.
The hills that split asunder and the black that ate the skies;
The flames that shot so high and hot that even dragons burned;
Would never be the final sights that fell upon their eyes.
A fly upon a wall, the waves the sea wind whipped and churned —
The city of a thousand years, and all that men had learned;
The Doom consumed it all alike, and neither of them turned.

[Josetismo]

This was peak Game of Throne dialogue.

[Petteri]

It is sad how many years later I keep coming back to this. The last time the greats were the greats.

[bhargavdhak]

Best show in the human history until s8 arrives

[chasemcnab]

I’ll have these two men narrate every audiobook for all time please

[heyheyheyheyheyhey]

Does anyone love the intense sound of Drogon's wings? I mean, come on. Shows how powerful he is. The severity of his size and sheer brazen strength. Shows what a badass intimidating creature Drogon is. Would really put things into perspective. The size and revere he will be one day. The shit he'll be capable of, especially with White Walkers.

I think it was mentioned in one of the Behind The Scenes… but in another life time or under different circumstances, Tyrion and Jorah may have been friends… they are both knowledgeable and interested in learning and have a sense of honor… but instead this is the position they are in together

[VaughanDee]

Holy shit. Pause at 0:46 and the walls are literally covered in stone men!

Apart from Rhaegar’s fall at The Trident, The Doom is the single event I most hate in all of ASOIAF. I don’t care about some of the evil the Valyrians were responsible for, their empire was the pinnacle of human civilization in that world. Their dragons, their magic, their technology, their excellence….it was all worth having despite a few slaves here or there

[JustSomeCanadianGuy]

I love the idea that Valyria is the Mordor of this world.

[muddywitch]

Sounds like old Velrya suffered an earthquake/volcanic eruption/tsunami.

[KrishanVaish]

valyria reminds me of ancient india best in everything most richest in the history of humanity then they werent

[HemanthKumar-cjxx]

I think it was mentioned in the books that anyone who went to valyria never returned.How these two are casually exploring old valyria.

[ayushkumar]

I thought jon could claim throne...but fuck

[jachamp]

I cant remember what happened next. i saw the valerian (silver hair figure standing at the end) what happened next?
oh they should make at least 1 movie/ep/ss about valeria and the doom.

[RestitutorEuropa]

They replaced Jon Connington with Jorah in this scene

[joshuacornelia]

who's dragon is that? is that dragon is owned by daenerys?

[thegray]

which track played when he sees the dragon please?

[victorsoltren]

I need to point something out no one seems to understand… yes this is the old empire’s territory, but this area is not the sea of ghosts, the characters are written to be intensionally unreliable narrators because they themselves don’t understand the history of those ruins, those are not valaryan ruins, this city was ruined before the doom, and grayscale is a result of this city’s destruction, these are the ruins of Rhoyne, so don’t poop on the show runners, this misdirection was definitely on purpose.
