that would have been more "impactful" if she had also been bald the way shes supposed to be. and if she was nursing the dragons too.

They probably though one weird breast feeding scene was enough for the season

what good is hbo if you can't do multiple weird breast feeding scenes
― ☂ (max), Friday, 24 June 2011 11:20 (thirteen years ago) link
dragons are reptiles (they don't nurse from teats) so i think making it more herpetologically correct was a smart move on the part of hbo.

Are they, though? If we're to think that dragons are flying, fire-breathing dinosaurs, then it's not so clear.

Not exactly "GoT (the book)" spoilers, but what the hey:
*** NOT EXACTLY SPOILER BUT SOME BOOK DETAIL STARTS BELOW
There's a point during the Hand's tournament where the Hound escorts Sansa back to the Red Keep and totally freaks her out (he's the one who tells her about the Mountain melting his face off), but by the second day, she seems to have grown attached to him -- am I reading that right? Am I to presume that their little heart-to-heart the night before is the beginning of a beautiful BFFship?
END WHATEVER THAT NON-SPOILER IS ***
Oh and btw, is there some kind of literary punning with Gregor Clegane and Sansa, i.e. Gregor Samsa?

Like, is there a compendium of high literary references in ASoFaI (e.g. Riverrun, Gregor/Sansa)?
― Matt Groening's Cousin (Leee), Sunday, 26 June 2011 19:59 (thirteen years ago) link
The Hound is Sandor, not Gregor

D'oh! Can't keep those darned Cleganes straight.

Hound = bad, Mountain = good-ish sort of.

I love the actor that plays Gregor. He was the "Yarp" fellow in Hot Fuzz :D

Mountain = killing his horse, destroying random village, melted his brothers face off etc etc

Fuck, dammit, now I'm confused. Hound is the one that's niceish to Sansa, Mountain is the burn-your-face one. Dammit. Sorry.
― Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 26 June 2011 20:28 (thirteen years ago) link
Hound is the one that stopped Sansa from shoving Joffrey to his death. so... merely quasi-bad?
― karma's ruthless invisible (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 26 June 2011 20:33 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah. Without being spoilery, what I've read so far he's more...conflicted. but I'm still only on the tail end of Book 2.

Just read the part where Ned dreams about his promise to Lyanna -- what did that entail? Was it just burying her at Winterfell, or was there something more to it?

― Matt Groening's Cousin (Leee), Thursday, 30 June 2011 05:51 (twelve years ago) link
no, pretty much everything regarding Lyanna is written very evasively in the books, you probably didn't miss anything

just finished watching season 1 after it taking over my life in the last week! absolutely brilliant series and the setup for S2... There's gonna be dragons, and zombieeez... Oh ma god Lydia!
― la tristessa demerera (dog latin), Thursday, 30 June 2011 09:01 (twelve years ago) link
okay, so holy shit, i just watched episode 10. dunno why i waited a week & a half, but it's the best of the series by far, by far. everyone comes into their own, esp danaerys and sansa, both delivering their strongest performances to date. first ep that's really moved me, too, esp cat w robb after news of eddard's death and jon snow with sam & co in the night. and that final shot! can't believe i have to wait a whole damn year to find out wot happens next...
