Haha I got a mental image of a wildling just killing a castle smith and carrying on with his smith work in furs and skins as if nothing happened.

Dolorous Edd is the only one to notice, but he doesn't say anything lest he have to replace the smith himself.

When Westeros starts to industrialize will the wall melt due to global warming? I mean, obviously global warming isn't real in our world but I could see it being a thing in this fantasy universe.

No. gently caress that thread, The Bad Thread is always open for business. You know what kind of business. :goatsecx::gizz:


But yeah loving amazing, they're sperging about "spoilers" from that loving video game. I don't even think that horrible thing actually had anything to do with the books. Oh I guess it mentions a country named Dorne which is somehow a spoiler. I don't even know. :psypop:

I was just reading post after post in that thread about how marvelous all the sets were and what geniuses everyone involved with the show is. Does the Hand's Tourney from last season count as a set, because if it does some of their sets sucked, especially the Tourney one, where it looked more low rent than a backyard wrestling federation. It looked like it had about the same amount of spectators as backyard wrestling would too.

edit: I had to leave when I saw what I thought might be the beginnings of a debate over the "whiteness" of season 2. I lost my tolerance for this type of spergy, pedantic arguing over unimportant details during Walking Dead season 2 threads.

God that was terrible.

A 3 day tourney with the whole kingdom in attendance was turned into 2 jousting tilts with like 15 people watching.

Meanwhile I've been to a ren faire where there was like 700 people and this was all dorks from a community college, not a multimillion dollar show.

poo poo, they could've just invited ren faire dorks to the set and used them as extras, probably wouldn't have to pay them either, they'd just be happy being ren faire dorks in a tailor-made ren faire dork setting.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail had more/better sets and extras and it was literally made for less than the show spent breeding and training the direwolves which ended up being mostly cut out anyways because that stupid breed can't be trained.

No worries, they can just recoup that loss by cutting all the Brotherhood without Banners stuff from season 3, TVIV won't mind, they'll probably think it's a genius decision.

Yeah, but the ren faire crowd would end up having grotesque sexual shenanigans the likes of which even HBO would have to cut out.

Who or what can challenge, and stand a chance at beating, the corporate juggernauts dominating the world?
Wait ... Let me see if i've got this right ... so Winter Comes every 6-40 years, right?

... And no one has seen the White Walkers in at least several hundred years, probably longer?

And the Wall was (likely) built after the last White Walker invasion to "safeguard the realm Neeps" ...

Does this mean that the Wall has never actually been used in a fight (except against those hobo wildlings)?

Was gonna make a lovely joke but you beat me to it. Don't discount mighty belwas' methane production either.

I watched the making of GoT on the bluray and the work put into the sets is nuts, you guys are tripping. The tournament was lame though but hey, it could have been Camelot or Terra Nova.

Finally, the character profile of K-Drogs was funny as hell. "To the dothraki whoevers got the longest hair is the biggest pimp, so check it out, thats me"

More or less. But the winter that the Others invaded on was a uniquely bitter one which lasted more or less until the Others were defeated. It was so terrible that people are manning the walls EIGHT THOUSAND YEARS after the invasion. Rapists and fuckups, sure, but still. It lasted "a generation", the world apparently decided to turn into night 24/7 and it took a guy who quenched a magical sword in his still-living wife's body to beat them back to beyond the area beyond the Wall.
