I just ... Paddy Considine saying that Viserys never forgave himself for what he did to Aemma, that Viserys died the day she did, that all this time the secret was that it was a love story - Viserys and Aemma's love story - that Viserys didn't really care about himself after he lost her, that he allowed himself to wither away as penance for his sins against her.
The fact that Viserys went against tradition and his brother and Seven Kingdoms to make Aemma's daughter his heir, to give Aemma's child his throne. The fact that he thought of Aemma's daughter as his only child and practically rose from the dead to defend her. The fact that he saw Aemma in his last moments. The fact that they played Aemma's tune at the dinner, the last time Viserys was truly peaceful.
The fact that he kept Aemma's ring, the fact that he mourned her constantly. The fact that he never spoke of his grief, of his loss, because what right did he have? He was the one who had killed her.
I absolutely love it when Vash says 'we' as if Razlo were his own enemy too. As if Wolfwood's fight were his too. And its not even about his typical nosing his way in others' business, to protect others like Rem taught him . For just once he selfishly wanted to help and save his FRIEND, instead of strangers.
And Wolfwood getting so outraged for Vash's sake after Leonof toys with him
Vash almost naturally bringing out Wolfwood's protective instincts. For Wolfwood, the level headed, pragmatic, realist to Vash's rash, passionate, idealist, to lose his cool just like that.

Family isn’t a word that’s familiar upon Phoenyx’s tongue.
Orphaned as a kit, isolated by his guardian, he’s never really known the meaning of the word. He never had a family. For so long, all he’d ever been was completely and utterly alone.
But then came the twins, then came Thancred, now Ryne. He’s never felt more content. Surrounded by people he loves, people who love him. He doesn’t think he’ll ever get used to it, nor does he always understand why they care for him so much. But he’s grateful for it nevertheless. Grateful for them.
With the way his life is ever changing, ever on the brink of total catastrophe, if one thing is certain, it’s this: Phoenyx will never be alone again. His family, the one he found all on his own, will make sure of it

I know Sam's song in the tower has been most recently lauded on tumblr as irresistible to Frodo for a sing-along, but I wanted to share with you one of the early forms of the poem as printed in HoME #9, Sauron Defeated. Not to pretend everything is an allegory, but this poem would have been the most WWI thing ever in Lord of the Rings - really reminds me of lines like "who gave it forth that gardens should be boneyards". This entire poem just pierces me straight through the heart and although I understand why Tolkien changed it, I'm very glad it's been preserved in the HoME.
I sit upon the stones alone;
the fire is burning red,
the tower is tall, the mountains dark;
all living things are dead.
In western lands the sun may shine,
there flower and tree in spring
is opening, is blossoming;
and there the finches sing.
But here I sit alone and think
of days when grass was green,
and earth was brown, and I was young:
they might have never been.
For they are past, for ever lost,
and here the shadows lie
deep upon my heavy heart,
and hope and daylight die.
But still I sit and think of you;
I see you far away
Walking down the homely roads
on a bright and wind day.
It was merry then when I could run
to answer to your call,
could hear your voice or take your hand;
but now the night must fall.
And now beyond the world I sit,
and know not where you lie!
O master dear, will you not hear
my voice before we die?
Sorry about the crappy screenshot quality, but in that scene with all the old companions I noticed the empty chair next to Jo, and my immediate thought was: she’s saving a seat for Sarah Jane.
