Yes they are gliders!
Look here at the start of the clip, a dragon gliding:
Also, don't forget that they are very very warm inside, providing a bit of extra buoyancy in air.... hot air goes up.

Ahh .. so we're dealing with hot-air dragons. Okay then, carry on.

Oh my gawd! I just did and now I'm worried. If there be dragons, why not God and brimstone? Careful with that.
Somebody please help me here.
My biggest complaint is how they keep killing the undead. You have creatures walking along with all the tendons in their leg flapping around in the wind on bare bone. Then somebody bangs them with a hammer, cuts them with a sword and they fall down re-deaded. How is that supposed to work? Your lower jaw is missing but Jorah pokes you with a knife and you're suddenly incapacitated. Oh wait, magic?
