Very mud, such bloody!
Great episode as always! Cheers
Joffrey’s sword that got dumped into the river was called Lion’s Tooth. In one of the upcoming chapters, Arya misremembers its name as Lion’s Paw. Hearteater was the sword Joffrey had in A Clash of Kings, the one he made Sansa kiss before the battle of Blackwater. I don’t think it’s been mentioned what happened to it, presumably he still had it. The sword made from Ice that Tywin gave Joffrey was named Widow’s Wail, in both book and show (as we’ll see later in the book). Ironically, Joffrey didn’t know what a fitting name would that turn out to be for a sword given to him right before the Purple Wedding!
I now regret I didn’t think of giving my own to Ice and its Valyrian steel – it actually owned Tywin by not allowing the smith to turn its grey Stark color into the Lannister crimson. Symbolic of Tywin’s ultimate failure in his attempts to destroy and/or (through Sansa) subdue the Stark family and legacy and enforce his domination over Westeros? But in addition, instead of turning into the Lannister color, the sword turned into red and black… which happen to be the colors of another house Tywin had tried to destroy – house Targaryen. Could that be foreshadowing for future books?
Kate, it’s “A Lannister always spays his pets”…
I just got a sweet package in the mail–much appreciated. Thanks for the early Solstice surprise!!
