Game of Thrones (spoilers)

[OumaFan]

Well, finally got around to it and it was pretty good, not as epic as some of the earlier episodes but pretty good.

As big of a twat as Viserys was I liked the actor. He was supposed to be a shit and he played him well.

I'm tempted to watch the 7th episode now but I'm going to try to hold off.

I definitely couldn't watch episode 7. It's already on some torrent sites, but I wouldn't want to wait two weeks for the next episode.

Episode 6 was definitely not my favorite. It was only a matter of time before Ned found out about Joffrey and I find myself getting antsy for the (presumed) civil war to start and to see how the alliances shake down. There are a bunch of things which I think I see coming, but I'm sure I'll be wrong about most of them.

This is still probably the best tv series I have ever seen though, and it is going to kill me waiting an entire year for the next season. I'm thinking about picking up the books, but it's kind of cool watching this show and having no idea what is going to happen next.

Has anyone buckled and downloaded episode 7? I have, so has my brother. Awesome episode, it's really hotting now and the ending of episode 7 had me screeming at my screen for more.

Not sure if that's a good thing considering I may have to wait over a week for episode 8.

Can anyone confirm if episode 8 will be shown a week in advance again on HBOgo this Sunday? Please say it is so....

Yeah I enjoyed it. That little cunt Joffre and his mum really piss me off. Hope Aya, the little girl gets to use her needle on him.

I don't know if I'm twisted or not but I have tended to warm towards most of the more hateful characters. I actually liked Vinerys and I really like Jaime Lanister. He's a cool dude.

I like Jon Snow, he is a pretty honorable guy I guess but I find myself not caring in the least what happens to Ned Stark. I find Littlefinger a lot more intriguing.

What a place to end the episode. This series is just making me beg for the next episode. I guess Book 5 (A Dance with Dragons) is being released on July 12th. In contrast to Bilbo, I love Ned Stark he is the standard of high ethics of the day and shows how relatively corrupt everyone else is. It seems that everything will be changing at a rapid pace now I hope my feeble mind can keep up.

That just makes him a cardboard cliche type character, and unrealistic too as those kinds of always honorable in each and every situation type people just plain don't exist.

We always try and immortalise hero type characters, turning them into paragons of virtue and integrity.

But no such people really exist in the world, and certainly didn't back then, hence I find him a bit boring and fake. Just an always white character to whom the audience is supposed to relate as being the morally decent one.

The other characters are far more realistic.

So Littlefinger wants the crown for himself. Good on him, see that's what I want to see, a bit of authentic ambition.

Not following your logic, none of the characters exist in the real world, I guess emulating real life is not one of my requirements of enjoying fiction. How do you feel about Jesus then? Does he not have the same white character qualities? (Albeit to a different code).
