  • After finishing the second book, the villians still don't have a whole lot of depth. I will say this, though: Cersei and Jaime have ****tons of style. I enjoy the characters, despite the lack of shading.

    Joffrey, on the other hand, is the most pathetic, despicable creature I have ever had the misfortune of coming across. Here's to hoping that Tywin does away with the little *****.

      • It's no spoiler that Joffrey is a little bastard, in all senses of the word.

          • Guynemer: keep on reading, A Song of Swords is generally considered the best book in the series by fans.

            • Unfortunately A Feast for Crows is generally considered the worst...

              • Spoiler:
                Guy - Jamie gets more nuanced. He's trending towards being one of my favorite characters (though part of that is the killing off of other contenders for that honor). Tyrion is still the best for me, through the end of book 4.

                The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

                • Excellent. So Tyrion is still alive in book 4, eh? I could see myself getting worried about that while watching the TV series, so thanks for pre-emptively putting my mind to rest.

                    I liked the dwarf, but he wasn't my favorite character. I would be sad if he was the only character carrying the show.

                    I actually liked Ned a lot, for example.

                    the imp isnt carrying the show his just the most awsomest. or so i thought till littlefinger stole the show. so far the best sceen for me is littlefinger and the bald spider(or what ever iam supposed to call him) camly but furiously duking it out in the throne room.

                    i liked Ned at the start but his just a god damn *****.

                    also gona go out on a limb here, but i like the vagina showing hooker. as far as acting goes shes doing a very good job.

                    only thing i disslike about the show is lord snow and sam. there fake laugh bugs me.

                    best supporting actor so far is the ward of thos sky prisons. love that accent.

                      Less than a hundred pages into book three, and I already have three new favorite non-Tyrion characters: Queen of Thorns, Mance, and his many-titled advisor.

                      • Right. I will leave this thread forever. It has turned into a book-thread which will kill the TV series for any non-reader, if it hasn't already.

                        Bye.

                          • Yeah, please please please put anything book related in spoiler blocks, it's really not that ****ing hard.

                            For people who haven't read the books (and even those who have) check out the televisionwithoutpity.com Game of Thrones board and look for the completely unspoiled speculation thread. Anyone who's read the books and posts there gets banned and it's a lot of fun to read (even though a lot of the posters seem to think they're watching Lost).

                                Well in a series with a good-sized body count, talking about character X doing stuff in book X means that they can't die before that.
