Entity magazine discusses why on Earth the cure for the Game of Thrones Greyscale disease is so amazingly disgusting.

The “Game of Thrones” Greyscale cure is really, really gross.  (^ That’s the face you make when someone asks if you know what you’re doing.)

On “Game of Thrones” on Sunday, Jorah Mormont got a second chance at life when Samwell Tarly decided to try to cure him. Unlike Shireen Baratheon, the only other Greyscale survivor we know, Jorah’s disease is extreme. And, that requires an extreme solution.

Despite the fact that Sam recently discovered that Dragonstone is full of Dragonglass (most likely the cure of Shireen’s Greyscale), they don’t have the time to wait. So Sam has to take matters into his own hands and use a different cure. That is, unfortunately, peeling off ALL of Jorah’s infected skin.

The “Game of Thrones” Greyscale cure raises many questions.

The most important, to me, being, “Why is the Citadel such a disgusting land of horrors?” Every time we go there it’s something else, slop, organs, pus, you name it. The Citadel is a place of learning, why can’t we get some actually useful information instead of seeing lots of gross shots?

Jorah’s best chance at a cure is in the place that he wants to be the most, Dragonstone.

Why doesn’t Sam just spirit him away to that place with a prescription? It has to be preferable to being skinned alive. We know Jorah sinned a great deal in his life. He sold slaves and conspired to kill Dany before he knew her. But that’s still not a fate that I’d wish on even Cersei Lannister.

Samwell literally read, like, one book about this.

Greyscale is not a one-book disease. If this operation goes well, it will be completely illogical. Jorah is likely to die from the excruciating pain, or post-surgery infection. But considering Euron Greyjoy’s five-minute ships didn’t break apart during the sea battle we saw, logical truth is not a thing here.

So what if it does work? Well, a couple things could happen after this little operation. A bandaged-wrapped Jorah could journey to Dragonstone. Sam could get Greyscale after coming into such close contact with such an advanced affliction. He could also get kicked clear out of the Citadel.

He’s been breaking the rules since he arrived, bringing a woman and child, stealing books and now performing unauthorized surgery. If I were an Archmaester, I’d send him back to Westeros so fast his head would spin.

Of course, that would put a halt to the progress in “Game of Thrones.” But I feel like Sam’s discovery of a cache of Dragonglass is just a primer for something huge Gilly’s going to read in the Long Night. Because that book is categorized as myth, it probably holds a great deal of information about the children and the wall. Definitely some insight as to how to fight the White Walkers.

I just want Gilly to find it, because I want her to get credit for everything, because she deserves it. Sam deserves nothing. He’s probably going to end up a Lord. But I will only accept this because Gilly deserves to be a Lady.

Jorah should still send his letter to Dany. After that operation, he won’t be going anywhere for a while. I just don’t think that’s the last we’ll be seeing of the “Game of Thrones” Greyscale.
