Not too bad, not as good as Hugh Lauries American accent, but not bad.

Hah, was just thinking that not 10 minutes ago while watching House.

I've really started to dislike Dany. She has transformed from a strong leader to a teenage girl, letting her emotions dictate how to run her little empire (and that has gone well lately..)

Well, as far as the story goes, it does serve as a really good illustration about the difficulties of ruling, the complexities of managing a foreign populace. And she had several conflicting sources of advise...so now Tyrion may serve as a better counselor. Dany has always been a lot naive, and it has cost here, but to her credit, she has resisted going full Stalin, which makes her character interesting and one we can root for.

Thank the gods Ser Jorah is back.

what the hell... is wrong with this forum's spoiler thing? Now it's not working



Dowly, what do I need to do to fix this?

[Sailor Steve]

It's working fine for me.

[Dowly]

Spoiler thingy works for me too, though it has changed. It doesnt show the custom text on it anymore like [Spoiler: May contain boobies], just [Spoiler].

 

this is a test

Pretty good summary but not a very good start ya bugga. I said

"My hope for episode ten is seeing an outcome to the predicament facing Cersei and the look on that female jailors face if what Cersei has promised comes to be."

"My face will be the last one you see before you die."

As far as the 'walk of shame' is concerned....you'll have to wait and see, I presume you've not seen episode ten yet

Not working for me but neither are the thread subscription marks/ticks.

That was a good start wasn't it?

Just got back from watching it.


Also

 

The part where Jon Snow gets stabbed by Olly, intense.

Agree, thank God that she has Tyrion and Jorah, because

 

after the massacre at the coliseum and now she's working on her flying flamethrower skills, I'd be sorely tempted to go full Targeryan on the city, but fortunately Dany has not inherited that much of the family sanity lapses.

Unfortunately there are numerous spoilers and film clips out there Neal, easily viewed via a Google search.

Best not mention the names of certain news sites where the entire shows are obtainable but such is the nature of the internet.

I find something about Laurie's accent a little "off," but can't quite put my finger on it. There is actually a good chance I have a bias knowing he's English, but I don't know that, either!! (I think it's extremely difficult to find someone who doesn't have a bias when evaluating accents)

I always thought Bob Hoskins did a flawless working-class American accent. And the guy who played Wormtongue supposedly shocked everyone when his filming was over in the Lord of the Rings to reveal his American accent, as he stayed "in character" the entire time.
