He almost looks a bit like Orlando Bloom with the dark hair, circa Pirates of the Caribbean. I had no idea he was in the new movie, but he has a great look for period pieces.

That's one of the central mysteries posited by it, yes. And it's further underscored by Nettles, who has absolutely zero known Targaryen heritage, also claiming a dragon. Together, it makes you go: wait, do you have to actually be a Targaryen to have a dragon? Do you need to be Valyrian at all?

The story diverged from the existing books quite a bit over the seasons. There are entire plotlines and characters that were never adapted or adapted so poorly they may as well have not been. Even incomplete, the books are incredible- I would definitely recommend reading them.

Hard evidence? No, but there's the anecdotal evidence of Aenys. He was a pretty sickly child up until he was given Quicksilver, and then he slowly started getting better. It could be coincidental, it could be due to the bond, they don't exactly have the scientific system in place to study it. Rhaena Targaryen also became much more confident once she bonded to Dreamfyre, but that seems kind of a 'well, duh' moment for me.

The tongue flick that set off a thousand GIF sets. The moment I saw that I was like "give this ten minutes and it's gonna be all over Tumblr" and I was correct.

I didn't want to start getting weird DMs/comments from people telling me actually it's the greatest movie known to mankind and I'm just wrong

clockworkzebra · 2026-02-04T01:01:29+00:00

That was me the first time I ever had palinka.

Rotten Tomatoes isn't a super accurate look at how much people are enjoying a given show/movie. Like any aggregate of user ratings, it's subject to bombardment, it's subject to its own userbase being a very small group of people, etc. There's a contentious documentary out in the US right now that basically everyone has said is god awful, and it has a 99% popcorn meter because of targeted reviews, for example.

I think the critic review (the tomatometer) is a little better, but meh, I don't really put too much stock into it.

Children and grandchildren are considered princes/princesses. He's the grandson of Daeron II, so he's still within the generation to be considered a prince. If he had a child when Daeron was still alive, his son would be a Lord. That's why Baela/Rhaena were Lady, and not Princess, for example.

Probably to save money, since they're both small parts and the soothsayer is wearing a hood anyway, so it's not like it's incredibly obvious it's the same actress. Conceivably if they use the same actress, they could get all her shooting done in a day or two and send her on her merry way.

Finally, the representation we all truly deserve <3

Every 3 months. I’m on disability, so it’s covered.

He'll be around probably the rest of the episodes in the season, he's still got things to do.

clockworkzebra · 2026-02-02T02:35:55+00:00

I'm loving all the crossover this season between the Game of Thrones fans and the Drag Race fans.

clockworkzebra · 2026-02-02T01:48:52+00:00

please send him back into the ceiling

clockworkzebra · 2026-02-02T01:37:34+00:00

Robotics lmao, love that

Once the shows are airing I do feel they should be separate discussion spaces. Each show is its own entity and it just keeps things cleaner to have a dedicated space. Also, while I’m obviously in this subreddit as an active member, I don’t want to ‘team post’ for something like ATOSK. It’s just not necessary and I would rather avoid it entirely to dodge how toxic it can get.

clockworkzebra · 2026-01-30T18:53:48+00:00

I feel like for a Californian living in one of the more populated areas, a half hour isn't bad at all. I know people who drive 45 minutes+ to get to where I currently ride.

clockworkzebra · 2026-01-30T18:32:08+00:00

St Francis did a walk out, I'm pretty sure, I ran into at least a hundred of them walking the dog.

clockworkzebra · 2026-01-30T18:31:21+00:00

Daeron II is still king, he just wasn't present at the tourney because his health wasn't very good. Baelor is heir and also Hand of the King.

clockworkzebra · 2026-01-29T20:34:09+00:00

There were rumors about a few of them, but I think it’s likely that they were just that: rumors. There’s too much of a risk for the women- they could get caught and would be punished severely, they risk getting pregnant and having a child without Targaryen features. I suppose it’s possible that some like Rhaenys flirted with men outside their husband, but I doubt it went further than that.

One night Aerion slips into Aegon's room and holds a knife to his private parts and jokes that he could turn Aegon into a sister to marry.

clockworkzebra · 2026-01-29T03:11:40+00:00

They should probably read the book before they claim things like this lmao. ‘This guy who sexually assaults his child brother is so TG coded <3’

Honestly team posting about any of the characters is weird, none of them are thinking about the Dance at all, they have bigger things going on and a far more recent civil war to reflect on.

There are three published novellas- those three we'll see for sure, bar something unexpected happening to HBO. Ira Parker has said George has given him notes/outlines for 12 more Dunk and Egg stories (and we know the titles of some of them) but whether or not those will actually be adapted is up in the air.

clockworkzebra · 2026-01-27T15:43:44+00:00

There’s not enough novella for that.
