OFFICIAL GAME OF THRONES THREAD | HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Premieres 8.21.22 | OFFICIAL TRAILER REVEALED

[TipsyMcStagga]

I didn't get the "Wow" factor from TD like most people did for some reason. It was entertaining though. MM is definitely a great actor!

 

[sunshineblotters]

Bro. I dont get the True Detective hype. My brother LOVES that show. Seen it 3x already. I finished episode 3 and said "WTF is this ****?"

Anyway just to make sure I get this right Viserys was a bastard right? That's why the melted gold burned him? Because Dany can walk through fire. She even said "He wasnt a true dragon. Fire cannot kill a dragon"

TD was awesome. I don't know, the acting, the story, the music was all perfectly put together for me. And MM just explained the way I feel about a lot of religious people in a few of those episodes. *flame suit on* I'm not having this discussion here.

And Viserys was her true biological brother. It's hard to explain this as I'm not sure, the bloodline wasn't strong in his genes maybe? But she thought that he wasn't meant to be a king because he was too hot headed and self-entitled.

I have to check out TD.

Blood in, blood out...

In order to be a Dragon, your mother has to die during birth...

Wat?

And Dany is not immune to fire

 

[blacklion23]

She's not? How did she survive the fire when the dragons hatched?

Blood magic

Here's a couple quotes from GRRM

Q: Do Targaryens become immune to fire once they "bond" to their dragons?

George_RR_Martin: Granny, thanks for asking that. It gives me a chance to clear up a common misconception. TARGARYENS ARE NOT IMMUNE TO FIRE! The birth of Dany's dragons was unique, magical, wonderous, a miracle. She is called The Unburnt because she walked into the flames and lived. But her brother sure as hell wasn't immune to that molten gold.

Q: So she won't be able to do it again?

George_RR_Martin: Probably not.

GRRM: Lastly, some fans are reading too much into the scene in GAME OF THRONES where the dragons are born -- which is to say, it was never the case that all Targaryens are immune to all fire at all times.

Martin: No, no Targaryans are immune to fire. The thing with Dany and the dragons, that was just a one-time magical event, very special and unique. The Targaryans can tolerate a bit more heat than most ordinary people, they like really hot baths and things like that, but that doesn't mean they're totally immune to fire, no. Dragons, on the other hand, are pretty much immune to fire.

Just finished episode 1 of the GOT game. Made me hate Ramsey even more

About to fire up episode 2 now...

Hypersoldier is prolly the ***** that makes people who read the books feel like they just skimmed through it

Yah I am glad TD touched on those as well since I dont view religion in high regard either but at the same time 3 boring episodes out of 8. That's almost half the season. I didnt even bother with the next 5

He schools us on gaming in the PS thread and definitely nerds out when it comes to GoT. It's good though, we need specialists like that to keep us informed.


And back on to TD, I honestly didn't think any of the episodes were boring to me. They were slow paced at times but, maybe I'm just a nerd for crime detective type stories. Also I watched the making of the show before the first episode aired and it had me hooked just from that. (Though I refuse to watch CSI and all that main stream garbage on CBS, NBC, FOX, and ABC though).

 

[hybridsoldier23]

It's true. I'm a total ASOIAF nerd. I read the books habitually, like multiple times a year. I really enjoy the lore and the anticipation of what's going to happen. If Martin dies before it's all published I will lose my ****.

I was pretty manic about TD as well, getting into all the fan theories that all ended up being red herrings. It was really fun, having to wait every week for a new episode and analyzing everything was a blast. I watched TD again on bluray when it came out and it was good, but the hype had worn off without the allure of mystery each week. It is incredibly acted and shot though.

 

[tdogg2k]

I'm glad i didn't have to wait every week for TD that wouldve killed me.

as far as ASIOAF i'm a book reader as well currently reading the history..

IDK why people keep saying they hope he don't die. lol he may be big but he alright.

I'm worried that he'll catch a heart attack while he's in the middle of an orgy with all those GoT groupies

 

[sunshineblotters]

Yeah its cool to have people like that around. Especially whe hell mention something and it won't come into fruition until 2-3 books later. Which is like a 10 year wait. If you don't reread you'll forget a whole bunch of ****. It's why I'm waiting until book 7 to read.

GRRM is god level and GoT is GOAT fantasy series.

 

[mvplikekobe24]

Boardwalk Empire is also upper echelon of shows for me.

 

[tdogg2k]

There are a lot of great fantasy series, just this is the best most recent.

I'm glad i fell in to this a few years ago.

 

[ice city fc]

Breaking Bad is laughably overrated. It's a shame too because it was a very good show.

Mad Men is A1

The Wire is still GOAT though. I mean off realism and social commentary alone it holds the crown.

True Detective season 1 is the goods but I can be sold on just about any crime drama. I'll be amazed if they can replicate in season 2.

GOT is just impossible for me to rank or compare unbiased. It's just tailor made for my taste. The kind of stuff I used to fantasize about in 3rd grade while everyone else was on wrestling.

It's a very good show. Still a tier below that upper echelon bruh.

 

[shogun]

while we're off GoT topic for a sec

Anyone watch True Detective? I'm on ep 5 of season 1 and their plan to have a new story every season seems like an amazing thing
Matthew Mc, got me questioning my self and beliefs the way talks in this series. such a good actor

Matt should've gotten the Emmy.

I know but I didnt think any fantasy series was that special. I even think LotR and The Hobbit are garbage. I would probably like em a lot more if it wasnt for Peter Jackson, a director who would be out of a job if it was up to me. He is just complete trash. Even if it were done by an amazing director, it still wouldnt be GoT level.

I just cant imagine a fantasy franchise topping GoT. Whatever you think is second best, would still be lightyears behind GoT to me.

I almost missed out on this show because live action fantasy franchises have been garbage imo. But I have always loved fantasy video games. Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, The Elder Scrolls, etc.

 

[sunshineblotters]

Honestly wouldnt be surprised if GoT is seen in the same light as Star Wars in the future.

*flame shield on*

GOT isn't family friendly unless your kids like seeing boobs and people dying in brutal ways.
