Targaryen...did you mean "tire center"?

94ssd · « **Reply #452 on:** 13 May 2014, 20:10 »

Spell check is cool but grammar check really pisses me off. Yes, I get that I write things in the passive voice, you sometimes have to do that if you're writing an academic paper. Meanwhile if I'm writing anything that isn't a research paper, I don't need you pointing out every time I use a contraction. It gets especially annoying when I'm writing a script and it points out every time a sentence is too long, has a comma splice, or ends with a preposition. I'm TRYING to write the way people talk for fuck's sake.

Anyway, I decided to try to put some ASOIAF names in Word:
The suggested correction for Targaryen was "margarine."
For Baratheon it was parathion
Greyjoy - Greyson.
Lannister - banister.

It accepted Stark Tully, Martell, and Tyrell without issue.

Cersei - Cerise
Joffrey - Jeffery
Tyrion - Tyron
Tommen - tom men
Oberyn - Obrien
Stannis - stannic, which means "of, relating to, or containing tin"
Daenerys - deaneries

In the category of "oddly fitting spell checks," Baelish was corrected to abolish and Varys was corrected to varies.

I was just thinking about how many damn titles/claims to titles Daenerys has amassed for herself at this point in the show.

"Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, the First of Her Name. Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Lady of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Queen of Meereen, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons."

I'm reminded of Skyrim where you just become leader of everything except Skyrim itself, or how the Pope's full title is "His Holiness Francis I, Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of the Vatican City State, Servant of the servants of God."

I literally checked my watch during that shit.

'Okay, she has titles, JESUS.'

Also this week's episode was the best one in well over a season.

P.S. dear showrunners, stop trying to make Jaime into an antihero, he raped his sister and pushed a child out a window KTHXBAI

I'm not done watching it yet, but I just wanted to comment that there is only 10 minutes left of an episode called Mockingbird and there has been no Petyr yet.

HBO likes to debut their big event movies on that night. That's also two weeks for the internet hype machine to build up the next episode.

It's generally not a big deal when they change little things from the book, but I hated the replacement of "Only Cat" with "your sister". I mean...come on, he was talking about he only ever loved one person.

My biggest complaint with this episode was the Moon Door effect. It was terrible-looking and definitely less than what I've come to expect from this show.

In fact, go back and watch Tyrion's trial in the Vale from Season ONE. When Bronn made Vardis fly it looked a LOT better than it did in last night's episode.

LeeC · « **Reply #471 on:** 19 May 2014, 08:50 »

It quite jumped out at me as badly done as well.

Can't believe the season is more than half over already.

Apparently I'm the only book-reader who doesn't think that the "Only Cat" line is the BEST EVER and doesn't mind the change.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #479 on:** 20 May 2014, 20:27 »

I thought I was the only one, I haven't seen anyone else who noticed that, but...cool, then. I don't think it's the BEST EVER, but I think it's better than the replacement, which makes the replacement unnecessary at best.

My friend loved it too, he said it makes it even less personal to her.

Wow, and I felt stupid when I didn't realize that Michelle Fairley was Hermione's mother.

Also learned that Orell was the pirate with a glass eye from Pirates of the Caribbean.

I don't even remember the scenes with Hermione's mother, I wouldn't feel bad.

Although she is on this season of 24, playing a pretty hardcore villain.

That pic is Osha/Tonks.

Also I think Fairly was only in the 7th HP film, so she would be easy to miss. I only noticed after watching the movies a few times.

I know. Earlier in the thread I made a post about Michelle Fairley.

Tonks and Osha are both played by Natalia Tena.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #499 on:** 02 Jun 2014, 05:26 »

Speaking of Osha, it kind of pissed me off that they went the Viewers are Stupid route and changed Asha's name to Yara (and also pretty much ruined her storyline in general).
