HBO's Game of Thrones. [No Book Spoilers]

[RagnarLodbroke]

Now we need season 2 of The Walking Dead to fill the gap.

The walking dead looks like a mean serie I dont like zombies they are cannibals!

[Siiem]

Yeh, of course there are lots of other factors, but bottom line is it looked pretty damn windy up on that wall.

Maybe they were drinking heavily!

[okiN]

Somehow I don't think they're allowed to do that on watch duty.

[Siiem]

Semantics!

Anyone out in -20 without a hat is in for some discomfort. -30? Enjoy not feeling your nose or ears. -40? Enjoy losing your nose and ears.

It's summer. Even on the wall. It's not that cold during summer. I imagine it being from 0 to -20

But winter is coming

exactly. Of course you could then ask why the wall is only "weeping" and not melting, but i think at this point you can use the this is fantasy-argument.

btw good summary about history of westeros by HBO: http://viewers-guide.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/#!/guide/appendix/westeros-through-the-ages/

Because the wall is magic. It's pointed out a few times in the books

A friend told me this series would be really good and that I should watch it and indeed he was right, although some of the plot "twists" I saw coming a mile off. The one thing that struck me as really silly though was

(click to show/hide)

The king and his council deciding to assassinate Daenerys. There they all were with their
Mwahahaharr! Let's show how ruthless we are by assassinating a pregnant woman!
Mwahahaharr!
Mwahahahahahaharr!
MWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAARRRR!!
Where you'd think someone would have said, "Okay, I'm as ruthless as the rest of you, but whereas so far the Dothraki have had no interest in attacking us, have you stopped to think that murdering the Khal's pregnant wife might just piss them off enough for that to change?"

You see in the show that the dothraki are a nomadic "nation" with a functional hirarchie and that they are humans. For the council (medevial orientated) they are just a vague imagined bunch of barbaric animals. Like Viserys they think only with a proper Lord telling them what to do they could ever harm them. Very similar to the images the roman senat had from phoenician or later gothic "barbarians", ah there are dozens more similiar examples in human history.

One thing that always strikes me as a bit ridiculous about the Wall scenes is how for all their carrying on about how incredibly cold it is up there, hardly any of them ever seem to wear anything on their heads. Anyone who's ever lived in a colder climate will know that shit's just not gonna fly.

Have you ever watch Man vs Wild ?
I've never seen Bear Grylls having something on his head.

That image never gets off.

2 things
1. i like him his show and all that, but - he's faker (if you want). he has a big crew, sleeps in local hotel, travels to location and shoots the show. when he gets cut or bruises, he whines alot when cameras are off. yes, he's ex badassmotherfuckingeliteforcesoldier, but now he is not and can whine and be pussy as any other man. he is a regular man who likes nature and regular camping. he knows what to do in extreme situations, but he doesn't need to live that way. it's just show

2. watch better ;)
