I enjoy this show so much that I never noticed what a low budget it has until now.
next time they could do the battle episode from the point of view of a prisoner in the dungeon. That might save a couple more dollars.

Intense! Now, there's lots of unanswered questions.

Blackwater was a letdown for me. So the King runs away and the army needs a motivational speech from a dwarf to flank six men? What could've been  |

He might be your favorite character but the battle still sucked Too much Cersei talking about nonsense and not enough Stannis chopping heads off. Tywin kicking some ass would have been a nice alternative as well 
What's the three letter word at the start of your post? I can't figure it out. |

It's hard to get the scope of the battles on TV. Budgets get in the way, I am sure.

Yah it was financial issues even though they received an extra budget for the battle. There was a good article about this. They knew they couldn't compete with "Helm's Deep" or a "spectacle" so they focused on interior shots vs grand battle scenes. For a TV show I thought it was pretty good. Same reason they cut Rome although they knew they made a mistake. All is well cuz we have "The Hobbit" coming up in December. Read somewhere that the 300 prequel/sequel and Gladiator are being made.

You're right. Nonetheless their improvisation was good. IE: Chains + ships getting set ablazed vs the wild fire/green anti-freeze tactic. Worked either way at least for me.

For a t.v show I thought it was really well done. What were you guys expecting? Helms Deep or Minas Tirith? You really can't compare, with the budget they had they done a good job.

Supposed to be 4 letter word, I think you like many though are forgetting that this is a TV show and they can only afford to do so much.

Me to, it would have cost a fortune as is, they really couldn't do much different.
