I don't know why they decided to give the Dothraki such high senses of humor, not to mention the fact that one of them worries about the intelligence level of the girls he lays with. That seemed....pretty un-Dothraki, since Jorah noted in the first season how they sort of just fuck anything that moves. It was funny but it didn't fit.
Well, it's probably because of Daenerys's demeanor. People will often challenge alien authority in that manner, even when it's only superficially perceived. In other words, it's got much to do with subliminal reactions and may not even be a conscious effort on the part of the writers to have put them in but it's good writing nonetheless.
Quote:10 years ago, the biggest thing in show biz was the Harry Potter series and JK Rowling didn't have a problem finishing her series with the juggernaut of Hollywood barreling along behind her. Only 4 of the 7 books had been published when they started filming the movies so JKR published the last 3 books in the time it took Hollywood to release 5 movies (one of which was the longest of the series), so not finishing the ASOIAF series (or at least publishing book 6 by now) before the show caught up to the books is GRRM's problem.
Ultimately, it's up to him whether to continue writing and/or finish the series.
First of all, HP are for children and young-adults, ASOIAF are for adults. ASOIAF is way longer and more complex than Rowling's wizard world story, not to mention clearly better written.
I understand many of you feel frustrated because you love the story so much and want to have someone to blame, but writers are artists and the really good ones especially have a very tough job to do. You can't rush creativity out of them and you shouldn't blame them when their books don't come out as soon as you want them to. Besides, I thought his books always had these huge intervals between one another's date of publication, what's so abnormal about it now?
