Asshai pretty weird and mysterious. Sounds like it's a magical place full of warlocks and witches. I'm not sure we'd ever get an answer to that.

I also think they've done a great job of trimming the fat and moving things along, while GRRM has just gotten more plodding and purposeless as the books have progressed. He REALLY doesn't seem like he knows how to get to where he wants to go with the books.

Azor Ahai dealt with (or caused) the first Long Night, but didn't have anything to do with the Others. The new Azor Ahai will deal with (or cause) this new Long Night, which will have an enemy much more dire than the Others.

Sounds like you know a lot more about all that than I do. I thought Azor Ahai was the champion who dealt with the Others during the first Long Night. And I thought that the Others were synonymous with White Walkers? |

Azor Ahai is a supposed good guy who "fought against the darkness". The legend is from Asshai, which has never seen an Other. Also, the legend of Azor Ahai has many similarities to other legends from other cultures that decidedly do not sound like good guys (The Bloodstone Emporer, Hyrkoon the Hero, Yin Tar, Neferion, and Eldric Shadowchaser).

Why do people watch it if they hate it so much. That's what I never understood. I have a co-worker who is a ridiculous stickler. F'n pain in the ass.

Pretty unclear. Supposedly the Bloodstone Emperor caused the Long Night when he killed his sister, the Amethyst Empress, and stole her throne. It was certainly dark and cold, and lots of people died.

Speaking of Essos, the people over there have got to be loving the sudden absence of 100,000 Dothraki screamers.

I've been enjoying the analysis of the music during the first 20m. It struck me too at the time. First time they used piano. The use of the music in this one was astounding to me. That first 20 is perfection IMO.

Agreed on the music being outstanding last night. Very Godfather-y feel to the piano.
