For clarification:
The feces was used for fertilizer by the farmers. Too much urine would overly nitrate the soil reducing yields.
The urine was used for tanning leather, if shit is mixed in with the urine you end up with shitty leather.
They actually explained this briefly in the episode, and it is historically accurate. The use of human feces, however, is not ideal as it tended to lead to the spread of disease – which is why we eventually shifted to non-human fertilizers.
I immediately clocked the tension between Ormond and Daeron. I grew up with someone who had an explosive temper and learned to be very attuned to the energy in the room. I don’t know how old Daeron is supposed to be, he looks like a teenager to 20 at the most to me. I kept thinking after Daeron killed that guy, what did Ormond do to Daeron to get him to kill even though it was pretty clear that he did not want to kill anyone. I love that the dragon immediately charged Ormond clearly HATES him. Also-how did Daemon not clock that “Daeron’s” dragon was super chill and had no issues with him leaving. All of the dragons we’ve seen in this world have freaked out when someone tried to take them from their owner.
I wanted more black fatherhood moments and I got them this week. Good for Daemon trying to protect his black child. Hope she doesn’t die.
Karen may be on to something because I don’t think Aegon’s dragon is dead either. It’s been down long enough to start rotting and for birds and bugs to start feasting on it but there is no sign of that. Would be funny if it wakes up and eats those thugs.
I think the best way to defeat Ormond is doo doo warfare. Like how they did Cersei. Just start flinging it at him and he’ll surrender.
Roddenkaren! What’s good?
Rhaena was going to get herself a dragon at ANY cost, huh? Her poor hair… She came out that cave looking like she was the FIRST to start boycotting Asian businesses!
They did a pretty good casting job with Daeron Targaryen. He actually looks he could be related to the actress who plays Alicent. Also, that actress always looks like she could be a relative of Kate Winslet from Titanic to me… lol.
Anyway, Daeron and Ormund’s relationship seems like it’s foreshadowing something. It kinda reminds me of how Frieza groomed Vegeta just to keep a Saiyan around to utilize for his own purposes, but it ended up being part of his eventual downfall.
I always liked how these stories feel like a free-for-all chess game between masters, intermediates and beginners. We’ll see how this goes.
Thanks for the fun recap! Stay safe!
