Florina Laufeyson Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I can totally see Dany doing something bad, and instead of forcing her to write lines repeatedly Viserys had her do that ^^"Now, draw our House sigil 50 times. NO MISTAKES!""50 times?""YES OR ELSE YOU'LL WAKE THE DRAGON!""Oh maaan...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Now Dany, tell me the names of all the dragons of our House, and their riders. While you're at it, tell me in chronological order the years in which the Targaryen Kings reigned." "...(whispers) fml..." "EXCUSE YOU ARE YOU TRYING TO WAKE THE DRAGON?!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmholt Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 It's the Westeros thing to fly the flag of the owner, or pwner, of a conquered castle. Not Speer-ish who was more into pageantry. The whole castle would have been draped precisely with Targ colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Desmond Wine's Bane Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 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. I have seen a few complaints as well. One reviewer I have some trust in said "The best CGI they have done is when it is small scale to match the small screen - specific items (direwolves, dragons), back drops when it isn't the main focus of the shot (additions to scenery, buildings), or in the case of Blackwater a night scene when the focus is entirely on the CGI and you don't see much of the real world at all. Dany's shot at the top of the pyramid with the banner didn't fit in with the above 3 categories and I feel didn't work as well on the small screen." That argument seems valid and may be the reason some people saw it as not 'quite right'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Desmond Wine's Bane Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Makes me wonder if she has any other Targ paraphanelia lying about. A Targaryen mug to sip coffee out of would go over well at late night Council meetings I'm sure :thumbsup: They copied it from her Targ iPhone cover.

boojam Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 That's why Dany couldn't use seige engines for Meereen...oh wait. George said that for S2E9 they had to cut em, expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That argument seems valid and may be the reason some people saw it as not 'quite right'. I thought the Targ 'flag' looked just fine. You are right the concept of the scene was just fine, the framing good, but there seemed to be a lack of CGI - 'detailing', plus the long shot seemed to cut off too soon. We had already seen Meereen's scale, this was a perfect place to really hammer down on WOW factor, sort of like the final 'helicopter' shot in S3E4. I mean it looks good , as it is, but could have been pumped CGI-wise to good effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
