  1. Morgoth:
    Well deserved awards. The VFX keep getting better and better with every season.

    True. I watched the video where the dragons were beeing put in the dungeon, the dragons are fine but they didnt have to go to the trouble of adding water on the floor.

    When i saw the scene i didnt even notice the water or why does it matter is the floor wet or dry. Rather then adding water they could use the extra time for more dragons …

    I was surprised by that as well, but because I had thought that the water was on the floor for real and that they had just added the dragon and his shadow–the effects are THAT good.
    Congratulations for some well-deserved recognition!

  3. Ser Dosser,

    Drogon does, though it has only been uttered once.

    They should’ve bothered naming them at the beginning of Season 2. There were a couple of scenes in which it would have been pretty organic.
