What? You should watch this show - Man at Arms: Art of War. They devoted half an ep to the haladie. It didn't have the best weapons expert of the show, but it was still educational. That being said, GoT doesn't use the haladie well, mostly striking with the curved edge and never taking advantage of the angled point.
Season 1 down. What a gratuitous show - gratuitous ultravi, gratuitous sex, gratuitous meat chopping. It's very carnal but somehow comes off as classy. Lots of savage politics. The ending, well, I kinda knew what was going to happen because although I avoided spoilers, this had been spoiled for me years ago. Took long enough. A whole feckin season.
It's very soap opera and draconian medieval law. It's one of those shows where you wonder who makes all the candles. That must be a good living in the GoT world - candlemaking. Prolly don't have to deal with all the court treachery, just barbarian raids. It's a world full of royals, rapists, whores, peasant victims, and some cool animals who get killed mercilessly a lot. And dragons. The sword fights are mediocre on the whole. Maybe that's why I'm not as gaga over it as I thought I'd be. It's not as addictive as I thought it would be. I can stop at any time. I just don't chose to do so right yet. It's not harming anyone and it's not like I'm paying for it. Just a few more eps to tide me over.
