Fugelsang: In a family of Fredos, Eric Trump is Reek.

Here’s video I found of Eric Trump saying “I’ve been to China many times—I love China—A lot of plans for China. We have an amazing buyer base from China that has apartments in our buildings—use our hotels—are members of our golf clubs” Let’s make it viral!

I had to look that one up. I'm guessing it is a Game of Thrones reference? (Never watched it) Siwsan Sep 2019 #1

the character development and the music score are pretty amazing. CGI use is also beyond what you'd imagine for many movies, much less tv. But, for me, who does not exactly like "fantasy genre", this is more very good historical drama with the added touch of some fantasy (dragons), rather than the basis for the whole theme.

I'm a life long student of history, which can be much more exciting than any fiction. But, someone told me that when you watch the series, you can see where they have 'borrowed' historical scenarios.

And, being Welsh, well, the whole Dragon thing is a massive plus.

I'm an historian of Latin America, but my favorite non-work history is the Medieval period.
I don't do fantasy, but I loved the GoT books. I only made it through half an episode. Then again, I don't like to watch gore and I don't watch TV much to begin with (I've currently got some German nature show on...I don't speak German well, so I have no clue what's happening. TV is just background noise.)
