Do you guys think they talk in some quasi Old English that's really tedious to listen to?
Mostly British accents but lots of others too. I don't think it's tedious.
Probably. I've been wondering ever since I saw 10 min of that one episode with that ginormous wolf.. is it like Narnia where the animals/dragons can speak to humans?
No, the animals don't talk, but some have a close bond with their human and pretty much understand whatever the human says.
I think I did see the pic of a giant wolf. And maybe a dragon!?!? Now that I think about it, they may not even be on Earth let alone speaking Old English.
I hope that when you start watching it, you know going in that there will be giant wolves and dragons. And little elf people if they have those. Because it would totally suck to watch a couple of seasons and then they spring that kind of bullshit on you. It's like, SURPRISE! It's a giant wolf! Whether you like it or not, you're now watching a show that features a giant wolf!
Imginary planet with (basically) 2 continents in the known world. The wolves are introduced in the pilot but are tiny cute little puppies, they don't get that large for a few years. The dargons are "born" at the end of the first season as tiny little baby dargons. There are little elf people! They aren't shown until briefly in s4 and then a little more in 6.
I'm honestly kind of curious how the show evolved. Because I remember hearing about it years ago and it seemed like King Arthur and now it seems more like Lord of the Rings. I've also heard that it is a very horny show, which is probably the part I'd like the most.
Super horny show with loots of hoots and dongs. The show has definitely slowly introduced more magical or supernatural elements over time. It fits the universe, but it's not really what you think you signed up for from 99% of S1
What's the goal of the people on the show? I keep hearing about sitting on the iron throne - is that an actual chair? What's the problem?
The goal differs from person to person. Some want to be king/queen, some just want to chill out and drink. The Iron throne is real and the king's chair (it's made out of swords
).
