I thought Ned Stark's death was pretty bumming... to put it bluntly, he died without honour (he confessed crimes he didn't commit) and looking like a fool for believing they were going to let him walk.
But he did save his daughters' lives. Then again, he probably could have put popular opinion against the new king. We'll never know, but what I know from the books is that this is a pivotal moment in the series. It's the catalyst for everything that will happen.
well i was recommended to watch this series and now i'm up to date. i found the show overall quite average, and the characters uninteresting except for the imp and arya. it has great moments (visery getting hot gold melted on his face) but not enough to make a solid series. as for sean bean character being decapitated well he got what he deserved. he decapitated some poor boy just because he saw the white walkers so i felt no compassion for him whatsoever.
Ros is easily the most useless addition to the show though. I guess straight men and gay women (and bisexuals ) probably love it, but I am not a fan of the actress or the character.
Lots of table setting but it's just good to be back in the show's world. We check in with all the characters and meet a few new ones, finally seeing the much discussed Stannis Baratheon. I must say, I thought Baelish was dead ther for a sec, thankfully not.
Casting has again been excellent, but I'm not too sure on Stannis personally. Melisandre though is perfect.
GRRM apparently directed the Blackwater episode (which also took up most of the season's budget :lol so that should be amazing.
Something which happens next season (if you've read book 3, you'll know what I mean) has the potential to be one of the great TV scenes if they do it right, which I'm sure they will.
I don't think I know anyone who cares about spoiler warnings regarding Joffrey's fate. He's so hated, the first question people ask when I introduce them to the show is "Joffrey dies soon, right?" :lol:
Will be a great addition to the cast. So far the series has been superb, everything has been perfectly done. The Stark's continue to be the worse part of the series, i'm looking forward seeing how the red wedding will be handled. Gruesome i hope.
Surprised HBO didn't submit Jack Gleeson for a supporting actor nomination at the Emmys, but submitted Kit Harrington who plays Jon Snow. No offense to Kit, but Jack's portrayal of Joffrey inspires so much hatred in people, it's absurd, and it's insane he didn't get chosen.
Speaking of Joffrey, that horrible, sadistic scene with the whores
Gleeson has been average in the role. I look forward to seeing if Jon Snow survives his stabbing once the next book is finally released to the general public.
Seriously can you guys post spoilers in white text? It's annoying to read potential future plot points for people who hate spoilers and haven't (and don't intend to) read the books.
If it's annoying to read, don't read it. Now is that really a difficult concept to grasp? I want to discuss the series with those who have actually bothered to read the books. The real fans.
