Fun fact: the Pyromancer is played by Roy Dotrice (Leopold Mozart: Amadeus (1984)). Dotrice is the narrator for A Song of Ice and Fire books, and as such has played _every character in Game of Thrones_ (except those that were created for the TV series). This was - at the time - a world record. Dotrice was originally meant to play Grand Maester Pycelle, but health problems prevented him from doing so. He passed away in 2017.

It's a neat little visual detail to see Jeoffrey "Baratheon" in red Lannister armor. Story wise, this can be explained away by the need for an army to easily tell friend from foe, but it's also a visual nod to the fact that Jeoffrey is not a Baratheon but 100 percent Lannister.

Fun Fact: the tactic that Tyrion used with the ''fireship'' is a real historical naval battle tactic. They used to take ships,fill them up with various flammable materials like tar,oil,gunpowder etc. and use them as ''floating bombs'' against enemy ships. The Dutch used these ''fireships' against the Spanish Armada,in the 16th century,during their war of independence to great effect and the Greeks perfected this tactic during the greek war of indepence of 1821,against the Osmanic fleet. A greek naval commander,by the name Constantin Kanaris,even managed to burn the Osmanic fleet's flagship,outside of the island of Chios,a huge Man of War battleship with a ''fireship''. Also,the ''wildfire'' is inspired by the ''greek fire'' of the Byzantine Empire,a medievil incidiary weapon similar to napalm or white phosphorus,that couldn't be extinguished with water and used extensively in naval battles by the Byzantines. His exact chemical formula is still today unknown,because the Byzantines kept it as a state secret.

Can you talk to Dany? She needs to get schooled on these prior battles and military tactics...she is currently getting her ass handed to her (-2 Dragons).

Also, the 'wildfire' itself is based upon Greek fire, which was supposedly used like giant flamethrowers, only the fire would even burn on contact with water and not die out. I say supposedly, because the recipe for Greek fire was lost long ago. Nobody knows how it was created, but it's possibly very similar to napalm. Apparently it was fucking devastating on the battlefield.

He had no choice but to follow Stannis' current admiral, and Davos mentions that he has serious reservations about their plan. He wanted to leave the fleet out at sea and scout the blackwater. He also wanted the Lyseni pirate Sallador to take a more direct part in the battle, as Sallador's men had more experience as sailors and fighters. Unfortunately for Stannis and his army, Davos was treated as nothing more than an up-jumped old woman who had no taste for battle.

Joff and the pyromancer are sadists, excited by all the horror. And empathetic Tyrion is more interested and disturbed by the reactions of those around him.

I remember watching this scene for the first time right after it came out. It was amazing. Nowdays we take these grand battle scenes on TV for granted but at the time this was a spectacle. And combined with those rich characters, dialogues and storylines... What a great show this was!

[@SkyGreenPong]

Several things I LOVE in this scene 1. Sandor's reactions to the fire 2. The break in the voice of Stannis's officer when he says "But the wild~fire..." 3. "Thousands" (that line I've watched over and over and I never tire of it) 4. Stannis is the first down the ladder. This scene catapulted Stannis up my list of the most interesting character's in the series.

[@AK-Bill47]

The thing I like about Stannis, he never retreat. He keeps on fighting, even in S5E10 where it was the end of him. Such a badass
