Reckon I'm just going to stay away from all GoT threads from now on until I've caught up with the first four (which could be in the next few days if the GF has her way).

i watched all four immediately and now find myself without anyone to chat with about them (aside from the gf, but she doesn't enjoy this kind of stuff on the same level as me).
i'm being good and not spoiling anything for anyone.

I'm naively hoping that Danerys can still control her dragons - mr veg wonders if third MIA dragon is the key ie her communicating through it to them when/if it ever returns
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 14 April 2015 17:52 (nine years ago) link
feel like its something about her just having confidence and accepting her role as leader and mother of dragons like shes afraid of them so they dont trust her and so forth, she will no doubt have some sort of breakthrough prob via riding around on them
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 14 April 2015 18:12 (nine years ago) link
would be kinda funny if the dragons just took off and never came back. like the whole thing with the dragons was just a shaggy dog story.
― ryan, Tuesday, 14 April 2015 18:16 (nine years ago) link
I just assumed that the dragons have reached their teen years.

With all that wine in his belly, his breath will ignite a fire ball when a lit match come to close to his face, winning the dragon's trust.

too*
Despite the leak, the first episode apparently had 1.4 million more viewers than last year's opener(!?).

If there isn't a scene with Daenerys riding on the back of Drogon, slicing heads off and roasting knights alive, I'm going to be very sad.

Drogon is such a terrible name for a dragon.
Here's my cat, Cot.
― fuck me, archipelago (Simon H.), Tuesday, 14 April 2015 19:44 (nine years ago) link
it's in reference to khal drogo, her catatonia-ridden and then mercy-smothered dothraki husband
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 14 April 2015 19:45 (nine years ago) link
which is why "drogo" would do just fine.
dying at "cot"

basically because it would be impossible to yell at the cat without sounding like Sean Connery

xxp there have to be Ns at the end of almost every targaryen name, esp. if there isn't an -ys at the end, it's like a valryian law idk i don't make the rules man
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 14 April 2015 19:54 (nine years ago) link
one of the only immediate exceptions i can think of is rhaegal, one of her other dragons
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 14 April 2015 19:55 (nine years ago) link
So by the third dragon she didn't have the energy to continue to follow her silly naming rules?
― Evan, Tuesday, 14 April 2015 20:00 (nine years ago) link
well it's got the "rhae" part covered in that instance, another targaryen naming essential (rhaenys, rhaegar, rhaella, etc.) and is in tribute to her older, deader bro (rhaegar)
that one's def skirting the valryian rules man, v close call

worst part of the episode was the 25-minute long build up to a really boring, short conversation between Missandei and Grey Worm, so that we could learn that no, Grey Worm does not know why unsullied are visiting brothels.
also dario's butt feature
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 14 April 2015 21:52 (nine years ago) link
dario has to be the least sexy guy who is supposed to be sexy, ever
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 14 April 2015 21:53 (nine years ago) link
I thought Dany's dragons combined the names of her brothers and Drogo with the names of historical dragons?

i liked new-Dario actor in Nashville but he seems out of place in this
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 15 April 2015 15:33 (nine years ago) link
I think it's just because the first guy was such a nice fit and established the vibe of the character well that the new guy remains jarring since he looks so different (and carries himself differently, too).
― Evan, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 16:29 (nine years ago) link
also he's not sexy or cool (or crazy) or mysterious
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 16:35 (nine years ago) link
i am v much team new daario, old one was a bit cookie-cutter-medieval gut tbrr
― slothroprhymes, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 16:40 (nine years ago) link
*guy
It's like if they recast Grey Worm as a taller, chubbier guy and expected the audience to eventually get used to it. Only thing that helped the Mountain was that the character rarely appeared ep to ep.
― Evan, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 16:41 (nine years ago) link
daario 1 seemed a bit closer to the book description iirc (blue hair aside)
― Evan, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 16:42 (nine years ago) link
dario 1 had cool romance novel vibes new guy just looks like hes yr neighbor who rides his motorcycle on weekends
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 16:48 (nine years ago) link
he is, but there have been so many of those changes in one way or another that i hardly even think of book descriptions, like in the books varys is bearded and wears weirdass makeup
michel huisman is most definitely a better actor even if he's not harlequin-novel-cover-art material
― slothroprhymes, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 16:48 (nine years ago) link
lol! xp
wait varys has a beard in the book?
― gbx, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 17:51 (nine years ago) link
i couldve sworn i remember reading that in one of them but to be fair it's been some time. i am certain about him wearing lots of visible face powder and makeup in his book description tho.
― slothroprhymes, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 17:53 (nine years ago) link
in the books varys (who grew up with an acting troupe) is a master of disguises who sometimes dresses up as characters he plays to gain intelligence or throw a ruse (most notably the jailor), but as the public varys we know the show is pretty close to his description.
― Clay, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 19:53 (nine years ago) link
i am super glad they don't have that actor in fake moustaches and canes and bullshit accents bobbling around as varys the master of disguise, that would really really suck
