Love all three.

Also, while still a cartoon, the dragon from Sleeping Beauty is pretty decent.

But Smaug for the win! But it looks like Drogon could potentially give him a run for his money =)

Speaking of cartoons, did you ever see Flight of Dragons? When I was a kid, I used to think that the dragons in that movie were amazing, but watching it again recently, I realized how overweight and not-worky they are. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwuhdhYL8UY

There was a time, we had a rat problem. I bought three rat traps and I would carve a notch in each when a rat was caught, and killed. There was a family of crows that came to feast on the dead rats that I put out for them. This is all true. I named the rat traps Vhagar, Meraxes, and Belarion.

Dragons

That was hands down my favorite moment of the entire video.

I'd agree... except DRACO. Draco Draco Draco. Nicest dragon ever. If the Cocteau ever does a dragon event, I sure hope Dragonheart will be on the list, because intelligent, friendly dragons need more recognition. Doesn't hurt when they're voiced by Sean Connery, either.

(Also, fun fact: you'll recognize a handful of the Dragonheart cast from the Harry Potter saga. Also, in Dragonheart, Jason Isaacs, a.k.a. Lucius Malfoy, plays a character called Felton; in Harry Potter his son is played by Tom Felton, and his name is... Draco.)

Draco is the most friendly and charming dragon of media culture, IMHO =)

Drogon looks incredible here! I can't wait to see how large the dragons have grown when scenes from ADWD air.

Thanks for remembering my request for a post!

I'm glad you enjoyed the film...or Smaug, at the very least. I liked how it sound like Benedict if you knew it was him beforehand (plus using technology to dragon-ize his voice), as well as the visuals of him 'about to breathe fire.' My dragons won't talk, but structurally they will be similar to the dragon that is Smaug, as well as various species in Skyrim - wyverns, I believe. Either way, I'm looking to The Hobbit (Part 3) as well seeing more of the dragons in the HBO series.

PS - my girlfriend just recently finished reading 'A Game of Thrones' and she enjoyed it greatly.

Smaug's voice wasn't edited with technology. If you watch the interview with Benedict Cumberbatch, Richard Armitage, Luke Evans and Evangeline Lilly you'll see that Benedict did the Smaug voice without any help.

I think it's a great temptation to evolve dragon theme in Song, just to watch as epic as it would be on screen of series))

Dear GRRM,
I know this isn't a Q&A format, but I have a very simple Q, from a professor of medieval literature; have you read Chaucer? B/c some of you passages and some of your character are very Chaucerian.

I read some of CANTERBURY TALES many decades ago, in college. Can't say I've read any since.

Does Viserion look cool too?!

Drogon is awesome, but i must admit i find Viserion cooler. Just because he has a snappier aura about him, he's got attitude like Viserys did. Hopefully we get to see a bit of him this season!?

Re: Does Viserion look cool too?!

Can't answer for the show... but you'll certainly see Viserion in THE WINDS OF WINTER.
