Game Of Thrones approaches the nerd singularity with a secret Monty Python reference
In what is basically the nerd equivalent of a Republican politician posing with a semi-automatic rifle, it turns out that Game Of Thrones creator Dan Weiss managed to work a Monty Python And The Holy Grail quote into a recent episode—only it was in Low Valyrian. This obsessive little Easter egg appears in “Breaker Of Chains,” an episode whose Pythonesque qualities were already noted by The A.V. Club’s Erik Adams in his Newbies recap. But as official Game Of Thrones linguist David J. Peterson explains in an interview on the HBO production blog, it goes even deeper than previously suspected.
