They are a modern democracy, with policies which must react to neighbors that have pre-modern social dynamics.

Being surrounded by extremely weak enemies is hardly an excuse for having apartheid domestic policies, sorry.

same, but the GoT discussin well on this forum is completely poisoned by teh Bad Thread, which somehow thinks that's an ironic appelation.

i peep it once and a while to get a chuckle and then move on. i've read the books and will continue to do so when the next one comes out. the show is fun and largely cool (there's some general treatments i disagree with) but they're telling a slightly different story and grrm has said that, repeatedly.

people getting spergy about dumb poo poo like that is hilarious. like, okay yes the fight there doesn't completely ring out given what we've been, repeatedly, told about those characters, but it works with what we need to happen and no one other than you gives a poo poo so move on. no one is making you assholes watch the show.

I mean, it doesn't bother me that much (I still thought it was a really good episode), but it was just kind of disappointing. I was hoping we'd see them get into formation and do some badass maneuvers before getting cut down, at least.

Israel is surrounded by forces who wish to see the genocide of all non-muslims, and whom have engaged in terrorism to this end. If America was in Israel's position, I guarantee you, we would not be nearly so restrained in our policies.

Hell, I bet we'd even repeal the 13th Amendment, were modern America in Israel's position.

its important but way down the list. And like you know AVATAR you can have a hackneyed or flimsy or derivative plot and still have a good movie because the other things that make a movie - you know how it looks- are extremely important.

it's funny because when the show hired a guy to come up with valaryian (since it's like almost not in the books at all); he really hated that the words we had didn't make any sense as a language (dracarys as dragon fire and valar morgulis. But then, as GRRM said, 'I am not Tolkien, I am not writing a language'
