I don't want to watch it on my TV (and having to purchase additional channels for that), I don't want to watch it on dvd, I want to watch it whenever I want online in HQ. It's just mindboggling why that's not possible, they're basically telling me to get 'creative' just because I live in Europe. Yeah. I imagine one day, after I am long dead, they'll get it and this will be finally possible. But as of today, only one option remains for us. | ||

Wow. Even aside from that, one of the main concepts behind of aSoIaF is that characters are more complex than this kind of alignment thing can ever show. Watch another season and you will change your opinion on a number of the characters. At the end most will be a wishywashy "lawful chaotic goodish neutral with sometimes a touch of evil" Which is why an alignment is for fun and not to be taken as seriously as your tight ass wants you to. Also, Drogo as Chaotic evil is pretty reasonable.... do you not remember how he was even introduced? He has people kill one another for his wedding, later on in the serious he goes around raping and pillaging whole villages because he can. Firstly, you completely misread that scene. It is to introduce the Dothraki as savages who find honor in battle. They both honor each other in the fight, as well as their Khal by fighting at the wedding. Drogo did not point at two people and say "you! Kill him". People just picked fights. How is that evil? You might argue that it is chaotic, because it goes against any rules we know, but even that is dubious. I picked this from wikipedia, because I don't have a D&D handbook here, but: Law implies honor, trustworthiness, obedience to authority, and reliability. Chaos implies freedom, adaptability, and flexibility Drogo is honorable, trustworthy, free and flexible. He has about equal parts of both. Now on to "Chaotic evil" Show nested quote + Chaotic Evil is referred to as the "Destroyer" or "Demonic" alignment. Characters of this alignment tend to have no respect for rules, other people's lives, or anything but their own desires, which are typically selfish and cruel. They set a high value on personal freedom, but do not have any regard for the lives or freedom of other people. They do not work well in groups, as they resent being given orders, and usually behave themselves only out of fear of punishment. It is not compulsory for a Chaotic Evil character to be constantly performing sadistic acts just for the sake of being evil, or constantly disobeying orders just for the sake of causing chaos. They do however enjoy the suffering of others, and view honor and self-discipline as weaknesses. Serial killers and monsters of limited intelligence are typically Chaotic Evil. Dothraki are not bound to follow a Khal, they follow him because they want to. Drogo's desires include the desire to please his wife, who comes to love him as well. Drogo puts high stock in self-discipline as displayed by his complete and utter loathing of Viserys, probably the least self-disciplined character we have met so far. He, and all Dothraki, also hold honor very highly. Now you might ask "if he's not chaotic evil, in what box should I put him?" Well, as I, and other people argued: none. Stop the whole pointless exercise. I will reiterate, and GRRM has said so a number of times too, the whole point of ASOIAF is to have characters who cannot be properly defined by "good vs evil" characterizations: there are multiple shades of gray and characters change between them. The most saintly character can (and usually will) commit morally wrong acts and the most evil character will have a glimmer of goodness in him (although admittedly the most despicable characters of all tend not to, but I can't say more without moving to the spoilered thread). Yes the Dothraki are bound to follow a khalasaar. Infact, most of the khalasaar come from another khalasaar that was beaten in battle and you had the option to a)follow or b)Die. The blood riders are also bound to a khal untill he is dead to the point where they are suppose to kill themselves when they die. Drogo is definatly an evil character, not good in any way shape or form. People fought at his wedding over pussy and booze, not to honor drogo. The only argument of his alignment is just the fact that he dies before he can go across the sea, or his son who would have "mounted" the world was born. TL;DR Dothraki are savages, who rape pillage and steal there khalassar to glory. They are not good in anyway really morally or otherwise. All they dream of is battle and dominating others.---Evil , he just didnt live long enough to fullfill his entire agenda. | ||

So hype! Shitty quality, if you have hbogo use that. There will probably be a better quality vid soon. They brought the comet in apparently. Wonder why they didn't do it when the dragons hatched (as it did in the book).at the end of the first season. | ||
