A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

I would actually be interested in knowing what characters you found interesting (and other people who haven't read the books).

I haven't read the books. And most interesting characters for me so far are Aria, Bran, Daenerys and the dwarf(Therion ?). Although I like all the plot lines.

I was expecting something bad to happen to Rob because he was cursed by too many people. There was no way for him to last long but I was still surprised by the brutality and scale of the killing. And I was suspicious from the start of the wedding that there is a big chance for it to not end well considering how creepy Frey looked. (I think that actor played the part great)
I was expecting something bad to happent to Thalisa(sp?) when he first asked her to come closer to him so that he can see her better.

This is probably influenced to a great extent by the reputation of the author.

[Asher]

The guy playing Walder Frey reminds me of Christoper Lloyd, circa Back to the Future.

[OzzyKP]

Rob was one of my favorites.

[Guynemer]

George R.R. Martin will kill everything you love, Ozzy.

It is known.

Two opening credit character deaths in season one
None in two
Four (so far) in three
And I can promise a bunch more in season four (who knows how many, depending on who makes the opening credits next year)


Asher: I don't see that at all, but whatever works for you. His little speech to Talisa at the start of the episode was fantastic.

Okay, here we go.

Tyrion (obviously)
Bron/Jerome Flint (steals every scene he's in)
Natalia Tena/Osha- great mix of ugly/sexy/tender/vicious
Tywin/Charles Dance- really strong uber-Fascist Daddy character
The eunuch guy (Varys?)- completely fascinating
Aiden Gill/Littlefinger- complete bastard but very watchable
The Hound- interestingly flawed
Jaime- probably the best character arc so far
Incredible She-Hulk- another mix of tough/vulnerable
Joffrey- great little bastard
Theon.

Great video:



ACK!

[Guynemer]

That Samwell Tarly impression was perfect.

[korn469]

Well I haven't read any books so far, but here are my favorite characters

Season 1:
Ned
Littlefinger
Tyrion

Season 2:
Renley (I came around to seeing how he could make a good king)
Ayr
Tyrion

Seaon 3:

Jon Snow
Ary
Varys
The Onion Knight
Tyrion
Rob
Tywn

most redeemed - Jaime

[Tuberski]

The season should have ended last week.

It went out with a whimper, instead.

ACK!

[Koyaanisqatsi]

Yeah, there were several options available that would have added juice to this episode. I almost wonder if they realized that nothing was going to be able to follow last week so they decided to save it all for next season.

(That said, the Arya scene was good, and the Joff scene should be added to the clips of him getting slapped. The last scene was rather cringe-y, though.)

[Sir Og]

I got teary eyed in the last scene with Dani, the music got me.
The more I grow older the more emotional I become. Don't know why exactly this is.

Can't wait for the next season.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Well, I don't know about THAT, necessarily. There are several other decent candidates in that book alone.

Spoiler:

1. The Purple Wedding
2. HER NAME WAS ELIA OF DORNE
3. In the end, Tywin Lannister did not **** gold.
4. IS THERE (stab) GOLD (stab) IN THE (stab) VILLAGE?! (stab stab stab stab stab)
5. The Moon Door

FWIW, #4 just happened in the show (from what I've read) and:

Spoiler:

No one really seems to care

[Koyaanisqatsi]

Well, it didn't really happen the same way. And from the reactions I've seen people cared, it's just that the victim was more random so it wasn't led up to very strongly.
