sj4iy Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 The show!hate and irrational-displeasure-with-the-nature-of-adaptations will return with season 5, I assure you. It already has. And it won't let up anytime soon. Which is why I'm tempted to avoid all GOT-related discussion boards until well after the season is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denam_Pavel Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Jaime in Dorne and no Arianne, but people are upset about the credits?First of all, it is physically possible to have opinions about multiple things at the same time.Who the ?!%& cares??? Most people probably think the Lannisters come from the "city" of Casterly Rock and it doesn't diminish the value of the show at all. This doesn't matter.If most viewers have indeed not been able to connect the Lannisters to the former rulers of one of the Seven Kingdoms before this, then I feel that IS quite a failure on the writers behalf. I think you're wrong about that tho.And The Water Gardens are not in Sunspear. It is its own palace The Martells chill in and throw outrageous orgies.People keep mentioning this. So what? Daenerys spent like one episode in Pentos, two-three in Vaes Dothrak. The viewers were trusted to be able to put together that she was in transit at other times, without the map just generalising everything as the Dothraki Sea on the map.

Zombies That Were Promised Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 It does seem they have "Dorne" written right where Sunspear should be. Why not just label the whole region, if we don't want to elaborate between Water Gardens, Sunspear, and whatever else? Doesn't make sense to me, but the opening credits never have and I've never cared so.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuben Stoneheart Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 For heaven's sake. Some of you are incredibly rude. What's with all the "why-does-it-matter?" type replies? I acknowledged in my opening post that it was a MINOR GRIPE. But it is a gripe of mine nonetheless.I was under the impression that this was a forum to discuss all/any aspects of the show. Is it only suitable to start a thread about something MASSIVE now?!?As for the comment about being sick of people constantly trashing the show - I sincerely hope that wasn't aimed at me.

El Guapo Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Are we basing on that little pic in the EW article that says "sea of Dorne" or have they officially said this is what they are going to do? They have name dropped Sunspear on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHeirToDorne Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 It seems to be an example of the show leaning away from the intricacies of the books where they used to lean in. I'd almost prefer them to conflate the Water Gardens and Sunspear to one location, and call it by either name or both or something completely new. To just call it Dorne would probably be borne from an attempt to simplify for the viewer, but I think it would actually cause more confusion. Especially to avid show watcher fans, who've been thoroughly versed in the difference between Winterfell and the North. And there's been mention of Highgarden vs. The Reach, Riverrun vs. Riverlands, and Eyrie vs. The Vale at least (and I'm sure Storm's End has been mentioned though we haven't seen it?). Meh, if they do it it won't be my biggest gripe with the show, but it would be a disappointment. The whole point of the opening sequence is intricacy, after all.

The Last Left Fighting Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Sincerely hoping they won't label it as Dorne, but I wouldn't be surprised at this point. One thing that gives me hope that they won't is in last season, the scene with Tyrion waiting for Prince Doran and all the other Dornish representatives come riding in, they're naming off their houses and sigils, etc... that and a few other lines at least set it up that Dorne is a region and not one specific location? So there's a chance it won't be diminished in the opening credits? I'm grasping at that, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleath56 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 It'll be an annoyance of mine if true. The reason for this is probably that they are too lazy to render something for the Water Gardens so they just clumped it all together. If the viewers are truly as short-minded as the directors believe (to be unable to remember that Sunspear is the capital of Dorne), I imagine this will be causing greater confusion. The city on the map will be labelled Dorne, the people in the show will call it Sunspear (hopefully) and the region will also be called Dorne. They could have at the very least made the Dornish animations like that of Slaver's Bay (Astapor, Yunkai and Meereen which all are shown in the Meereen animations), a large label of 'Dorne' over the entire region and where the separate locations are all shown.
