Yeah but she's a young gal and she did say that it was too heavy for her to use in one hand so presumably, relative to her strength at least, it must be quite heavy. And tbf, I was mostly avoiding Not606 while watching it.

 

Yeah, Arya doesn't use a proper sword. She uses a wooden sword when practicing with Syrio, and she has Needle which is a teeny custom made sword.

If anything's unrealistic, it's the bit right at the beginning of the first episode where she perfectly fires a bow. Now those things require more strength than you'd think.

 

Yes Arya. With a wooden sword. That would be light. That one...

 

Did he say something like... Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die..!

 

if anything is unrealistic, its the bit where there are dragons and monsters and stuff

 

Wooden things can still be heavy.

Damn right they do, especially of your shoulder muscles.

 

You realise there are no tricks or special effects in that scene, right? Maisie Williams actually did learn to do the swordfighting properly, so what you are seeing is a 12/13 year old girl sparring with a wooden sword.

 

Yes they can still be heavy, if made from mahogany. Call me crazy, but I'd suspect the wood chosen for a young girl to practice with would be light enough for her to cope with. A wild theory, I know....

 

I'm not taking kindly to your negative words about Arya, PL. She's a little badass.

 

So we have Godders going mad and Lampras not getting G.O.T, good night .

 

She's my favourite.

 

The sick couple that killed their lil boy have got 30yrs minimum. Hope they get killed in prison the sick bastards.

What a **** sentence. They should have done what they did in America and hand down a 1000 year sentence.

 

Castro's crimes were worse though, as the torture was over a longer period of time and he did it to three people. The word "minimum" is the key word in this couple's sentence anyway, because I seriously doubt people like that can be reformed over any length of time.

 

Well I'm sure in real life, that sword was probably quite light, but in character, presumably it wouldn't have been. Or I'm taking her comments too literally.

 

[video=youtube;llGXWICGsD4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llGXWICGsD4[/video] Guys. The new teaser for Sherlock is out. If you don't already watch Sherlock, go find watch it and thank me later! It's by far the best thing British TV is producing right now.

 

I get the feeling we'll be explaining a lot of this show to you if you're going to analyse every detail like this!

Not that I mind. Any chance to discuss GOT is appreciated.

 

True, but if he hadn't agreed to a plea he would almost certainly have been sentenced to death.

 

Watched it again...can't believe they've kept us waiting for so long. I suppose we're lucky that Cumberbatch and Freeman are still willing to do it now they are in the 'movies'. A really classy production with great actors.
