'Serenity'
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Just as I was thinking that someone should tell Westeros about Truth or Dare, Tyrion invents it on the spot.
Knowing what I know about the future in the coming books, Westeros would have been infinitely better off if Joffrey hadn't been needlessly cruel so that Ned took the Black and could have stopped Robb's war right there.
I agree.
And everyone but Joffrey knows that. Cersei had no idea he would think for himself and fuck up so badly, but the boy-king ain't right.
GoT:
I haven't read the books at all, so I was shocked by Stark's death. I thought for sure they are going to save him somehow.
I've watched most of the season over the last two weeks, and I was finding it difficult to keep everyone straight for a while, but I am really liking the show.
Can someone explain to me the whole people with dragon blood who aren't actual dragons thing?
I'm really hoping that Arya gets to grow up to be a great warrior and kills Joffrey.
How far has the story taken us in terms of the books?
Even knowing it was coming I was a little shocked, they did a really good job of setting it up.
We're almost through the first book, sj, the end of the season should finish it off.
The "blood of the dragon" is House Targaryen who are dragons in the same sense that Starks are wolves ad Lannisters are lions, it's the symbol of their house. They also had actual dragons which they used to conquer Westeros, but the actual dragons have all died out (and House Targaryen has almost all died out).

Ah, I missed that entirely. But Daenerys is actually immune to fire, so I was thinking that it was more literal and not just symbolic of the houses.
Yeah, there's more going on than just symbolism but, honestly, I'm not sure what. They're originally from Valyria and all those incestuous marriages have kept their bloodline pure so there is something biological/genetic/magic that sets them apart, but how exactly I don't know.
Thanks -t. I've ordered the books and intend to start reading them as soon as this season ends.
Yay! I hope you like them.
