Talk:The Dance of Dragons, A True Telling

Name: Leaving out "the"
The show is a higher authority than an admin's hypotheses. The name of the book is said; twice. So that's the name of the book.--ArticXiongmao

As explained, the TV series has flubbed lines before between "War of Five Kings" and "War of the Five Kings".

Moreover, other TV continuity materials - the Histories and Lore videos for Season 4 - repeatedly called the war "the Dance of the Dragons", and the title of the book quotes the name of the war.

It's simply a dialogue error, and the show has had them before.

"Birthdays" don't exist in Westeros; they have "Namedays". Two or three times actors have said "birthday" - but these have been declared simple dialogue errors.

This was simply a dialogue error. Why jump to the conclusion that the name was officially changed?

And for the sake of argument...assuming that the scriptwriters.....well, if they did change it on purpose...why? I mean that they intentionally sat down and said "Dance of the Dragons doesn't roll off the tongue, let's shorten it to Dance of Dragons"....why the heck would they change that intentionally?--The Dragon Demands (talk) 01:20, September 17, 2015 (UTC)
