thistlechaserThis is pretty darned cool (and it's surprisingly nice to hear the music again!). How all the effects were added into the GoT series:
The dragons were especially cool!
I'm about 80% through Dance with Dragons. I was going to wait until the end to post this, but since I'm posting the video I'll write this up as well.
The second half of the book is a whole lot better than the first, but I finally put my finger on what bugs me in this book...
I don't like Daenerys. At all. I'm not sure if I had that opinion in previous books (I think not), but I very very much do not like her now.
Does the girl have any flaws? Other than she ~cares too much~? Multiple times in the book she's described as "the most beautiful woman in the world". Silver hair. Purple eyes. Only person in the world to have dragons.
The overarching theme/plot of the book is that everyone wants her. Either wants-wants her or wants to use her (or both).
So she's the most beautiful woman in the world, her one "flaw" isn't a flaw at all, and every man wants her. What does this remind people of?
Am I missing something? Does she have some flaw that I forgot?
Anyway, other than that, I'm enjoying it a lot more than I had in the first half.

Unrelated: I wish auto-complete still worked on tags, that used to be so handy.
