BtW, the face of the dothraki guy behind Jorah watching Dani naked was priceless.

Really? maybe in the book..but i personally thought Drogo's 'decline' was quite poorly presented - that is to me as a person who hasn't read the books. I mean at the time he got the wound he shrugged it off, and the next time you see him in the next episode - he is basically dead falling off his horse, i'd thought i'd missed something when i was watching, just seemed so poorly bridged.

Don't worry, the producers knew that was not important. It was more important to see Roz boobs 5 times, or Theon background 3 times while he did NOTHING the whole season. Why they needed to waste screen time with so many pointless things while there were so many important stuff to show I will never understand. The only good scenes with naked Roz was the Littlefinger one as he is explained to the audience just before his master play. Everything else could have been done differently/cut out/shortened.


Thank you, I so completely agree. Although it has been a good series, some of the choices of what to waste screen time on were appalling.

I'm pretty sure the entire point of that was the fast decline caused by the witch poisoning his wound in order to avenge her people or whatnot.

I don't really buy that, it was awkward to view from the moment he fell off his horse, which was long before we find out the witches motives - if you have read the book i can understand it being fine, as you knew what was going on.


EDIT: And lol at the HoMM3 wyvern/dragon pic - the wyverns from that game are exactly what i think of too.

I cant believe there was liek FIVE PAGES of that dragon talk. No, I was not dissapointed that they had 2 legs rather than four.
A dragon with 2 legs (using its wings as its front legs) looks like 3 times cooler than a 4 legged dragon.

But travis, your post did seem pretty insulting. Even if you didn't mean it that way, I think most people who read that read it in such a way.
And the fact that you're missing a report button is wtf.


I started reading the book and loving it, noticing a lot of differences. Oddly enough I can't actually think of any right now.
The size of the wolves is definitely obvious, though, and as I've seen many times in this thread before, they should be bigger. I guess you can argue that they're still not fully grown. Honestly I'd be OK with them just leaving real dogs, though.
CGI is expensive. Unless its really important in the story for them to be twice as big as they are now... I think I'll sruvive.

It took me like 4 hours to read less than 100 pages. That's really slow, isn' tit? I think I'm at like 83 or some shit. :/

HOWEVER, THIS WYVERN BULLSHIT MUST CHANGE.

well 24 hours ago this thread interested me now its just a bout whether or not some 1 has put together the council on dragon imagery to come up with a standard federal regulation that must be imposed on all tv show writers on the depictions of mythical creatures

Agreed, it was 100% inflammatory. For someone who paid to have his name colour changed you think he'd be a bit nicer around the forums.

That being said, only a true fantasy nerd would be the first person to point out they were Wyverns rather than Dragons.

Why is there 5 pages of posts arguing about what is a dragon?

Why don't we let the author of the books make this determination???

Seriously, TL.

Edit: HOMM3 reference for the win! Hoping that the new game is gonna be decent.

Edit 2: WoW reference for the lose...

Holy shit, if that black dragon towards the end of the episode looks anything like the Black Dragon from HOMM3 when it's grown I will cream myself.

In norse mythology dragons generally are wingless. I wonder how they fit into this discussion.

I'm really upset the horses the Dothraki use are Kuhaylan variations of Arabian horses instead of the more accurate Hamdani breed. If you weren't aware, Kuhaylan have a flat forehead above the eyes with a wide head, whereas the Hamdani have longer frames and a wedge shaped head.

Hopefully we can have a long discussion about the terribly inaccurate portrayal of the Dothraki horses, as it is simply common knowledge that nomadic horseman would use the Hamdani, given its higher endurance and longer/stronger hindquarters.

Simply unforgivable.

I liked the dragons on the show much better than more typical depictions of dragons which usually have a huge bulky body and comparatively tiny wings, which looks ridiculous on a flying creature. The show's dragons are much slimmer and leaner and look like they actually might be capable of flight.
