ymaface Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 This may be a silly question but how does Dany even know what her house sigil looks like (to the exact detail)?The Targaryen sigil is very detailed and looked perfect on the flag shown but if Dany was ever shown it (maybe by her brother) it would've been when she was very young. Jorah might have known it but surely he was busy doing other things than studying someone else's sigil. I just think it speaks volumes about how little Dany really understands about her family.

JonCon's Red Beard Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Viserys wore it on his coat in every scene in the first season. Not here: http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/29500000/Viserys-Targaryen-and-Doreah-house-targaryen-29560321-800-450.png But yes. I'm checking. He has it on his chest on few scenes. The only thing left was a "Hammer Here". signal in neon http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120119120712/hieloyfuego/images/a/a9/Viserys.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Not only would Viserys, Barristan, and Jorah all know exactly what it looks like, but Ser Willim Darry probably had it on his clothes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Baggins Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 The Targaryans are/were a very well known house even in Essos. I have no doubt that she could have just asked for a Targaryan flag to be made and people would comply. It may have even been a gift to her from Qarth or even Illyrio. Do you think Dany had to draw out the stencil for the flag herself? I think the more questionable issue is where the hell did she get that flag.

Probably got enough wood and tools to make catapults. And the Unsullied were working, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Er, I guess she could have just asked for a Targaryen flag to be made. It may have even been a gift to her from Qarth or even Illyrio. Really, this is a universe where every damn idiot on the planet has an outfit with a house's badge on it as well as an assortment of banners and pennants to proclaim their allegiances.

I'm not convinced you didn't just copy that last second from my own post. My only quell with it is that the flag was never seen before (not that it really should have been) and she's not really anywhere where she can just ask for a big fancy flag. More pressingly, I mean how the hell did she get that flag where it is. The flag is sitting on the harpy before Dany even has the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konradsmith Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 ^I guess that was one of the things that Grey Worm and co. snuck into the city. I imagine it would have to be a pretty huge flag and it would also be really difficult to secure it up there, but regardless it was an awesome visual.

SkaggCannibal Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 She had a following of thousands of former slaves, sure some of them were capable of sewing a flag. And sure they would be willing to gift it to their Mhysa. It's a hell of a gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Envie Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm quite sure Ser Barristan would know the sigil of the house he was pledged to and was commander of the kingsguard as well as Ser Jorah Mormont. Lords and Knights are trained to recognize all the sigils of all the major and minor houses. One of them could have helped with the drawing and any number of artistic freed slaves or servants could have made the flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boojam Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 For the reasons others give above. It's amazing we have not seen a 'banner' version of in seasons 1,2 and 3. It's good to finally see a large, what is that? Tapestry of some kind? [somehow everybody on the show carries around a hidden Portamento, when traveling, be it water, food, money or change of costume... can't account for everything when filming.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boojam Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I just think it speaks volumes about how little Dany really understands about her family. Thoughts? Seems just the opposite of this. I keep wondering if they will ever give her the 'dragon crown'. I am hoping they change it to be given her mother crown, which is around somewhere!

BlackTalon Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 One of the critics in the recap collection up on wicnet complained about how dogy the CGI flag looked - I have just watched again and I thought it looked really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
