BLR is great when they show onscreen dialogue, but I get annoyed when they wedge in a bunch of lines we don't see anyone actually saying just for a random string of nonsense words. It happens a few times in the first minute, then Jamie's not even shown speaking the line "That's Aztec for lazy farmer" at all, so why is it there? Don't get me wrong, their material is great most of the time, but they've been getting pretty lax with not reading lips, considering it's bad lip reading.

Yeah I agree with this entirely. It's like they just want to make up stupid lines they think are really funny but they're not part of what makes it actually funny.

Still, better voices than Dotrice's.

I hope they were going for a parody of modern comedies' overuse of zany characters saying totally random nonsense.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

I won't lie to you, I really felt like I was watching a deeply incestuous Community or Parks and Rec highlight vid. There seemed to be running jokes I wasn't in on, plenty of hipstery jokes, and everyone's a pervert.

Still funny, though.

I know they didn't, but I have never heard it referred to as such until said thread started talking about it. It's just a terrible name in general, as most fanwanky names tend to be.

It's been some months since I finished the series and I've come to terms with what I truly spent my time reading. It is an long drawn out epic of a nerd's extreme infatuation. You see, Daenerys is the main character and the love interest of the author. The song is really about how highly he placed this woman in his mind, where everyone else in life seemed trivial and pointless filler characters on another continent in comparison.

He was obsessed with this woman so much so, that his onesided stalkery love and affection remained even when she went through different macho dudes and made bad decisions. She was so special, she would take the world, he could do no wrong and all was instantly forgiven. But alas, the affection instantly faded the day he found out that she shat like everyone else, and no longer did the author have any interest in her. The author decided, so be it, love is dead and I will never love again. Thus is life. The end.

So, there doesn't need to be another book. The REAL story is over, the REAL ASoIaF has said everything it has to say. The author has lost his interest and infatuation with the material.

Did you guys keep reading that Meereenese blot blog? Grrm's(HBO's) story is certainly going to be interesting if that poo poo is true, I'm kind of convinced. I think that Dany is not only the fire in ~*ice and fire*~ but she will in fact be a primary antagonist of the closing arc, along with the others. That puts her a pretty far cry from the "far away savior coming to clean up the mess" trope that she seemed to be set up as, which is pretty grrm.

Yeah, pretty much this. Despite being so unique in the setting, it's just difficult to remember their actual names. Hizdahr zo Loraq and his pet gerbil Boblazaqo or something equally stupid can go gently caress themselves. Dany's entire character was a mistake.*

I could only remember the Shavepate and Dany's husband (though not his name). Looking back, it's actually not that hard, the chapters are just full of barely mentioned characters with names that kinda crumble into syllabils as soon as you try to memorize them... I can think of several characters, but not their names. Or does ANYONE remember immediately what the Yunkish leader who dies in the fighting pit is called? drat.

Is my memory racist? :saddowns:
