well it was the dragons that allowed that, right?

well the warlocks said so m/l

did they? if so, i missed or forgot about it. what did he/they say?
― spextor vs bextor (contenderizer), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 16:16 (eleven years ago) link
they said their power was increased w/dragons around

"when your dragons were born, our magic was born again. it is strongest in their presence, and theirs is strongest in yours."

are we sure there is just one dude and not multiple identical looking dudes? they do talk about warlocks plural

but it decreased our intelligence and we forgot they can shoot fire :(

xp: I like the ambiguity tbh; usually Dani is all "omg MAGIC" and everyone else in the scene is practically rolling their eyes going "argh jeez, just ignore him and he'll go away"
― WHEY AHR MAH DREGUNS? (DJP), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 16:22 (eleven years ago) link
i don't think the warlocks figured that the dragons were that powerful that little (even Dany could just barely get them to shoot a little bit of fire earlier in the season). That said, their "y'all gonna be here for eternity lolz" plan did seem pretty flawed as one imagines the dragons would grow.
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 16:23 (eleven years ago) link
oop, i stand corrected. now that you mention it, i remember that line very clearly. anyway, point is that the warlock dude does have real magical abilities, though yeah, they may have seemed trivial w/out dani and her dragons around to amp the magic up.

they had a GoT exhibit at the Tiff building by my office. you could sit in the iron throne and they'd take a few pics and send you on your way with a contact sheet and a DVD of the first episode. not bad for a free dealy!

dude playing theon is like a lifesize personification of feckless; great job casting director.

Even with the glasses and the haircut I could tell it was Jon Snow because he is always making that same face.

is that a recent photo? they all look very young, maybe from lack of beards?

It's from before the first season
― Number None, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 20:05 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, i was thinking it was maybe from a book release party for Feast of Crows maybe.

This might not be common knowledge in the US but the dude who plays Theon is Lily Allen's brother (and Keith Allen's son obviously), he's basically a professional feckless tabloid twat. I quite like watching him as Theon because you know that only unpleasant things are going to happen to him.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 20:40 (eleven years ago) link
he really brought it in that scene with the maester tho tbf
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 20:41 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i think he killed it this whole season
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 20:44 (eleven years ago) link
so I was going to respond to the torrent and stream suggestions with a sactimonious response about how I don't want to watch this through non-legit means and want to wait for the HD glory of blu-ray, but then I thought "what the hell" and started checking out the streams.
I watched the first 3 episodes of season two and they are great! Clash of Kings is my favorite of the books so I think I'm really going to enjoy this.
So far the major changes (Mel and Stannis doin' it, Renly's love troubles, various other little details) haven't struck me as nearly egregious as the annoying new scenes from season 1. I hope this continues for the rest of the eps.

wtf jon snow looks all meh, idgi. amazing what not brushing yr hair and wearing a giant animal pelt does for you.

all of them save jon snow still have some slight mediaeval flourishes to their look
