Steve2911 posted:This is literally the opposite of the truth. S1 she absolutely owned it, but she's been a bit uneven since then. Same with Sansa. When they get a big scene (slay frey, bring me cheese) they're awesome, but in the smaller ones they're not bringing the same subtleties as when they had Sean Bean breathing down their necks. They're still drat good, but when the writers don't give them enough to work with its clear they're no Peter Dinklage.

This is true, but it's still better than the reasons 90% of the characters have for any of the evil poo poo they do. I'm not saying The Hound isn't an rear end in a top hat who did evil poo poo. I'm saying every single character is an rear end in a top hat who does evil poo poo, but The Hound does a comparatively large amount of niceish poo poo too.

Ned's not evil for killing the deserter, what the gently caress? He was guilty and that was the legally proscribed punishment.

I forgot to respond to that earlier but yeah. Some bloodshed might have been prevented if that deserter had done his job and gone back to Castle Black to give his report instead of breaking his vow before gods and man. Meanwhile the butcher's boy did literally nothing wrong and was also a child. That's a really lovely comparison to make. e: I just looked the butcher's boy up to make sure I wasn't talking out of my rear end here and wow the name of the actor who played him is Rhodri Hosking. That is a real person's name, not a GoT character's name. The character's name (Mycah, for anyone else who forgot) is less weird than the actor's name. loquacius fucked around with this message at 17:01 on Jan 5, 2015 |

Yeah, because names like Hizdaq are so much less believable than similarly pronounced real world Eastern names like Shadrach that have also been translated into a different alphabet.

Jedit posted:Yeah, because names like Hizdaq are so much less believable than similarly pronounced real world Eastern names like Shadrach that have also been translated into a different alphabet. Oh they're certainly believable, but a right pain in the arse. I had to look up Shadrach, but it's a good example, lets look at some other names from the book of Daniel: Meshach Azariah\Abednego Nebuchadnezzar Belshazzar Those were a pain to spell, and I would probably muck up the stresses if I tried to pronounce them, because I'm just not used to those combinations of phenomes.But I can tell them apart, there's a nice distinct rhythm and mouth-feel to each name. vs Skahaz mo Kandaq Bhakaz zo Loraq Draqaz Hazzea Dhazzar which are basically anagrams. Consistency and clarity in naming is something that pisses me off with a lot of fantasy, and with the Westerosi Gurm shits all over the competition in terms of names that feel mystical but still have some kind of internal logic to them. Maybe because he's deliberately riffing on Celtic and old English names, either it gives him a stronger base to work from or just makes it easier for me to grasp what he's doing.

You should look up some Wade Giles versions of Chinese names, it's very much in the same vein as the latter in terms of readability and similarity (although even in pinyin the spelling is the same and just the tones are different).

Making foreign or exotic names is easy: 1. Add Q's where they normally wouldnt belong. 2. The more Z's the better, especially consecutive ones. 3. Add abnormal combinations like Bh and Dh.

In some non-fantasy name news HBO announced that they'll be screening episodes 9 and 10 of last season in select IMAX theaters. This will be coupled with the premier of the first season 5 trailer. The screenings will be on Jan 23-29 so don't expect any trailers or footage before then, unless it gets leaked. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/06/business/game-of-thrones-takes-a-trailer-of-its-new-season-to-imax.html?_r=0
