Just when I was starting to get fluent in conversational Klingon.
The languages are cool but good delivery is essential.
Emilia Clarke’s speeches at the sacking of Astapor and the siege of Meereen (both in Valyrian, I believe) are really great performances.
Another great performance in Sunday’s episode. And she didn’t have to say a word.
Nerds are in an uproar because she is not supposed to actually be fireproof, her coming off the funeral pyre with hatched dragons in season 1 was a one-off miracle per the books.
Those crazy Dothraki have a different word for everything
I want to know how the Dothraki got those dirt floors to be so flammable. That fire shot across the floor faster than any spilled oil could burn. They must polish those thick wooden walls with gasoline too.
Yeah SOIAF nerds are upset but the rest of the viewing public thought it was freaking awesome :-)
How do you know the first wasn’t added later as a special effect?
Bet he gets laid a lot./s
Maybe, but the show has strayed pretty far from the books. Remember the book series is called “A Song of Ice and Fire”.
Martin has claimed there are two additional books, one he is in the process of writing and one after. He is also a consultant on the show. Maybe Daenerys has the ability to resist fire. This would counter the Ice King. Remember the only thing that kills white walkers is dragon glass and Valryana steel. Just so happens she is Valeyan and is the mother of dragons.
Do mothers of dragons get maternity leave?
Obviously, the Dothraki are metaphorical representations of muzzies, meaning that "Game of Thrones" is Islamophobic. /sarc Thanks nickcarraway.
I had assumed some flammable substance had been spread beforehand, perhaps by the young dosh khaleen she befriended.
ahhhhh haah.... good thinking
Holy sh!t! You mean to tell me movies/TVs, based off print material, isn’t 1:1 to the source?! /s
She can come outta ANY fire...directly to, I mean AT, me /2x-s
Said nerds should be painfully aware that the series on HBO has gone way off from the books as early as Season 5...or more.
Depends. Since she didnt actually lay the dragon eggs she might not be able to. However, if she identifies as a dragon and she legally adopts the dragons, then she would legally be the dragons’ mother.
Actually, some of the Targaryens had a flame-proof thing going.
