    Alas the days of Waterloo's level of 16,000 extras running around are over in this day of computer graphics and budget tv series.

    It's not impossible but it is a tv series an not a film they cant spend 3 week filming couple of battalions of army reserve lads simulating D-Day landings in curraghcloe.

    They use restricted views and the like to give the impression there is a ton happening round the corner when in reality it's 20 fellows all shouting off camera.
    They slew him with poison afaid to meet him with the steel

    In my opinion computer graphics can pretty much emulate human movement already.Its only facial expressions that computer created characters cant get quite right.

    Yea which means that with some clever shots they probably can get away with only actually havin 50 actors in a field hacking each other.

    How could I've missed this, they did cut the peach scene! :O
    Very funny meme though :P

    The episode was very good, really liked Qarth and the scenes at King's Landing...
    Pity Bran and Osha have taken Jojen's and Meera's parts; Stannis and Davos are ever improving; didn't like much Loras giving all the blame to Stannis though, as if they had already forgotten about Brienne...

    BTW in two weeks the GoT RPG for most consoles and PC is going to be released, saw few previews and looks nice :)
    (Conleth Hill "Varys" and James Cosmo "Lord Commander Mormont" are featured in the game ^^)

    I keep forgetting to post this for weeks, but it still tickles me now and then... when watching Game of Thrones with Secura, upon the steampunk cog introduction, she goes "What is the spinny thing hovering over the world?"

    I couldn't stop laughing, and gave her a look going "Are you serious?".
