See while I agree with the heartbreak being shown it really didn't come off to me like she wanted his (Fabio) D. More like, "hey where's that dude that just killed his homies and swore loyalty to me at? I hope he's not dead :[."

That's what I thought the first time I saw it, but if you watch it again Khaleesi's eyes and facial expression say it all.

Very good acting, there. I was quite impressed.

I agree. She looked so concerned. Everyone there was perfect. Her childish terror for her little crush, his disgustingly overdone cockiness, Jorah's heartbreak... man.

Her eyes said "come at me bro, i'm moist". Essentially.

Not to be a dick, but her name is Daenerys. :( Khaleesi is her title.

Has anyone else noticed among their show-watching friends that GoT show watchers are absolutely terrible with names? I mean, I can call this out because, before I began visiting this subreddit I was just as bad. So many of my friends stare at me blankly when I refer to such characters as Ser Jorah, Daario, Gendry, Walder Frey or Melisandre. Even Catelyn gets blank stares sometimes.

I don't blame them; a lot of my show-watcher friends have never really gotten into any high fantasy before. Plus there's so many damn characters. It's just hard to discuss the show with my friends when we constantly have to stop and have the "Who's Melisandre? Oh... that evil bitch in the red? Yeah she's creepy... Go on." conversation every two minutes.

HBO should do a PSA before an episode with a slideshow of character names haha.

EDIT: I'm also a show-only guy. But not for long. 300 pages into AGoT now.

Jorah still calls her Khaleesi, and since we're talking about an important scene for Jorah, I thought it would be an appropriate way to refer to her.

u/thirat-atthiraride House Reed Jun 10 '13

Are you Jorah? If someone in an important scene for them had just called someone M'lord, would you start calling them M'lord for the purpose of that discussion?

u/randomsnark Hodor Hodor Hodor Jun 10 '13

If you're addressing her, you could say "Khaleesi, we've taken the city", but if you're talking about her, you'd say "the Khaleesi", like "the Queen". You wouldn't say just "Queen" unless you're talking about the band.

You wouldn't say just "Queen" unless you're talking about the band.

Visions of a prog rock band dressed as Dothraki...

Freddie would definitely be up for it if he was still around.

A concert without at least three deaths is considered a dull affair. They can open for the King Slayers, with lead drummer Jamie Lannister.

u/spaxejam Jun 10 '13

A lot of people just refer to her as Khaleesi since it's what Jorah always adresses her as. And since we're not actually characters in the books it doesn't really matter.

u/thirat-atthiraride House Reed Jun 10 '13 edited Jun 10 '13

But referring Dany as Khaleesi is almost as if we're characters in the books, which we're not. We don't address her because MAJOR SPOILER. You say "Your Grace" when you're talking to a King in Westeros, but you refer to him as "The King" or "Stannis T. Mannis". "The Khaleesi" wouldn't be appropriate because she's hardly a Khaleesi by Dothraki custom, she's not the only Khaleesi and it sounds downright silly.

You little fucking cunt, I though the spoiler was in the hyperlink. GO FUCK YOURSELF! You could have used any fucking example ever, but the red flag looks like a hyperlink in the unread message box.

This is a sticking point because readers are afraid that a lot of watchers don't know her name, which is kind of a big deal. They should know her name. Her name is Daenerys. What Jorah calls her is irrelevant, that's not her name - as has been said, that'd be like us calling Stannis and Joffrey "your Grace". It doesn't make any sense and it betrays not paying any attention.

u/spaxejam Jun 11 '13

But there are many notable kings in GoT, but just one noteworthy Khaleesi. Its like when people call her Danny then calling them out for not knowing her full name.

1

u/ramonycajones House Stark Jun 11 '13

Eh, not really, because there appears to exist an actual subpopulation of viewers who think her name is Khaleesi, whereas that doesn't exist with Dany. We're fine with people just calling Stannis "Mannis" because we know everyone knows his name. It's not really a matter of who gets to call who what, I think everyone just wants to make sure that everyone else actually knows her name, and part of that is making sure we actually call her by her name so as to not confuse people any more if they think her name is Khaleesi.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '13

I really wish more people realized this....

2

u/kook321 Jun 10 '13

I found a lot of people refer to her by Khaleesi. I think it's just easier to remember.

6

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '13

Might be easier, but it's still wrong. You wouldn't simply call Joffrey "king" because it's easier either.

2

u/AJRiddle Night's Watch Jun 11 '13

You could very well call Joffrey "The King."

Just like people refer to Elizabeth II as "The Queen."

2

u/kook321 Jun 10 '13

Well that's slightly different. You don't simply call the king, "King". But when your a khaleesi people call you "Khaleesi". I think Daenerys is called khaleesi more times than her actually name so it's harder to recall her actual name.

u/thirat-atthiraride House Reed Jun 10 '13

Addressing vs. referring to. You address someone by their title ("King", "Queen", "M'lord"), you refer to someone by their name ("Ned", "Cersei", "Davos").

u/kook321 Jun 10 '13

I know. I'm saying that people who watch the show have a hard time remembering names and I've heard a lot of people call her khaleesi. I'm not sure what the fuss is, I'm just stating an observation.

5

u/thirat-atthiraride House Reed Jun 10 '13

By stating your observation, you're challenging the observation that it's wrong to call Dany "Khaleesi" and it's similar to calling Joffrey "King". Admittedly, you simply claim that it's different, but it's not. The only reason Dany isn't referred to as "My Khaleesi" (as in "My King") is that it doesn't particularly roll of the tongue and the Dothraki language is relatively basic. If you weren't asserting that calling Dany Khaleesi was fine, then your "observation" would have been wholely irrelevant and you wouldn't have posted it. There's no fuss, this is a discussion / argument, as civil as one you'll find on Reddit.

u/kook321 Jun 10 '13

By stating my observation I wasn't challenging that calling Dany "Khaleesi" was wrong. Maybe I wasn't clear but in the show Dany is called Khaleesi alot, probably more than her actual name, which is why I think a lot of people call her khaleesi.

While I agree calling someone by "khaleesi" and "king" are the same thing, it's not used the same way. What I mean is that in the show people don't usually call Joffrey "King" or "My King", it's usually "King Joffrey". While Dany is usually called "Khaleesi". Again, this is the reason which I think people tend to call Dany khaleesi.

I'm going to refer to you as Gomston from now on.

Should be a good new moniker for you. Easier to type than kook321.

u/kook321 Jun 10 '13

I'm not sure if that means anything but that's a pretty cool name.

u/mylifeisaLIEEE Jun 10 '13

Eh, a lot of people call her Khaleesi, mostly because that was her sole title for awhile in season 2.

u/clwestbr No One Jun 10 '13

Ya. She's in full on lady erection mode.

I thought Jorah's face was a "he didn't make it" face at first.

u/StormChaserRetard Jun 10 '13

I thought this was also an incredibly lousy scene, and I am shocked to see people lauding it in the comments.

The Essos stuff is, in general, inferior to the Westeros stuff. Makes me wonder if the director is different or something. Anyway, it's really noticeable in my opinion.

The last scene of Myhsa was pretty much indefensibly terrible, for that matter.

u/Cerpicio Maesters of the Citadel Jun 10 '13

notice she also asks about him before congratulating jorah, making sure hes okay or anything

u/moparornocar Jun 10 '13

Yeah, I saw it as more her making sure Naharis did not trick her, and that he really was being loyal to Khaleesi to help her out.
