I'm really happy with this casting.



Edit: fuck, this animated gif is starting to freak me out a bit...
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

It would have been an easy thing to introduce concepts like the knight with the flaming sword in dialogue if they didnt have the budget to actually show it.  That kind of dialogue would have been a lot better than wasting time on Little Finger telling Sansa about the Hound - which was out of charcter and sequence.


Thoros was mentioned in the discussion between Jamie and Jory.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Well you hunt a boar on foot tbh...

He just wants that special George Lucas special edition with more Imperial Walkers CGI'd in the background.

Alright ok yes a sense of the scale is thrown off a bit but I can live with it.

A few hunting horns and a few riders crossing the background might have made it a bit more "large scale".
I'll also agree that the tourney scene looked a bit like they borrowed the lists from a Renaissance fair.
They chopped down trees and built the lists on set. :contract:

They couldn't have made it somewhere with less trees? Outside some city walls maybe- there's some pretty good examples of those in the world.
And roped in a few more extras to be peasants?

Thoros was mentioned in the discussion between Jamie and Jory.

Which isnt exactly the same as some dialogue speaking excitedly about how the knight with flaming sword did in the melee competition.  As far as the series is concerned the so called tournament was a very low key affair with a couple jousts.

Thanks BA.  :secret:
:tamas:  Happy to help.  If anyone needs a back episode or a current one I can try to help out, just let me know.

Just watched episode 7. Shit hits the fan.  :cool:

Also: lesbian sex used as exposition.

Tywin seems... too emotional.

Also, the Dothraki market has more people than a tournament or a royal hunt.

Considering America's economy I think it would send the wrong signals to show off a huge budget for simple entertainment. Frugality isn't a dirty word.

Not *that* huge. Less than 5 million $ per episode, and that includes a humongous cast, set building, period dress and filming on location.

$50-60 million for ten episodes.

Hopefully that will increase 50% for season 2.

Indeed.  The camera lingered on the whores fingering themselves during the entire Little Fingers' monologue; the very definition of gratuitous.  Almost pornographic. *shudder*

And *we* didn't get a full exposure of lovely Lauras sucking on Renly's cock.  Fucking double standards.  <_<

Meh.  I just ain't in the mood during a serious drama show.  It is just something I tolerate in HBO shows.

Well it's not like they show the whores' clits either. And we did see the kraken. :P

Which location? Westeros?
