Xander ,'Same Time, Same Place'
[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.
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.
Frank, I think Bourdain has made Chef Eric(His BFF) a Larry Stu. We'll see if he starts singing or something soon.

Well, he did have him admit that Alan Richman was a friend, so he's not quite perfect.
True enough.(I bet they've talked about *THAT* a few billion times."How can you stand that fuckin' douchebag?" and etc.) I'm not ashamed to admit that ML made me cry yesterday...absent fathers being rather a Theme in my life.
I'm hearing that there are fans who've actually flounced out of Game of Thrones over Ned Stark's sad ending.
