Either way it tickles me that a woman has been leading the charge on introducing a monotheistic god.
Dunno if this is a show or book thing, but it is oddly fascinating how this show depicts women in power while simultaneously undermining women in positions of power. I can only assume the books don't have random naked women bobbing about in the background.

The khalasar did so much damage in the village of the lhazareen that instead of going like 30 miles south to Slaver's Bay, they instead walked thousands of miles through the red waste to get to Qarth, and then took a boat back to Slaver's Bay? Why not turn around and go to Matarys or Volantis?
in the book, didn't they go through the Red Waste because dany was superstitiously following the path of the comet? or was that just an excuse she was using to save face?

Yeah, wasn't it a matter of taking the path of least resistance, no matter how environmentally inhospitable?

I think it would be funny if she made it all the way to King's Landing, killed just about everyone in her way, then when she was about to take the throne Joffrey, who had been hiding, pops out and stabs her in the ear, stays King, and then the show/series ends.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 21 June 2013 13:49 (twelve years ago)
Yeah, I've joked before that the very last scene of the last episode will be a tracking shot across the Red Keep throne room; bodies of dead dragons and people scattered about on the floor. The camera pans up to reveal Joffrey sitting on the iron throne, smirking directly into the camera. Fade to black, end titles.

just stopping by with a tip: if anyone on here thinks that Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is hot, I strongly recommend that you watch the Danish 1994 thriller "Nightwatch" (Nattevagten)- it features a 24 year old NCW and his megawatt cuteness had me reaching for the smelling salts (plus it's a fun, over-the-top thriller even if you're not there to gawk). As a GoT bonus, one of the characters has an outcome that eerily predicts an element of the Jamie Lannister plotline too . . .

Chugging thru this season and I still want this cast & crew to do a Napoleonic epic. With a proper HBO budget, they could do wonders.

It's also based on books that are really very good. Better than the dumb movie (which I totally enjoyed every minute of).

Since S3 has ended I've blazed through the second and third books, halfway through #4 now. It's a testament to Charles Dance the actor that he can do justice to Tywin so completely. His performance is absolutely perfect throughout.

Meanwhile, Company plans Game of Thrones Malta tours (The Malta Independent). Looking at photos in Google Maps, it looks like just about every fort in Malta was visited for scenes in Essos.

I don't know if any show will ever recast as many characters as this one already has. I hope they pull a Roseanne and say like "something seems different about Mountain lately..."
