So yeah, if my babbling on about it in the cbox is anything to go by, I've been taken up by the Game of Thrones series.

So far I've finished the first book and am up to date with the TV series. I just love how immersive the story is, and how most the characters seem to be fairly balanced with their virtues and flaws. I'm a bit indifferent to their eagerness to remove their clothes to satisfy 13-year old creative consultant Friedburg, but there you have it.

Does anyone else follow the TV series or read the books?

Whee, finally caught up~

Wow. Just wow. Dinklage et all were incredible in the courtroom scene - I loved it all, from Tywin's stoniness to Jaime's pleading to Tyrion's final 'I've-had-enough-of-this-shit' speech. The next few episodes have a lot to live up to, but after seeing what they've done with this season I'm confident that they can pull it off. The staging was great (and also in the Iron Bank scene, which I enjoyed. Surprise Mark Gatiss is always a bonus!)

I agree with you on Hizdahr - looks like the show is continuing in its agenda of making more characters seem sympathetic. Fair enough. Looking forward to seeing more of him and Daenerys in the future. Drogon was looking very pretty today as well!

A Dance with Dragons


I haven't heard the Euron/Daario theory before, actually! That one deserves some pondering.

Mockingbird was a great episode.

Tyrion's scenes were all great, but Oberyn was the best of all. Tyrion being close to tears when Oberyn told of how he visited Casterly Rock and Cersei hated him ever since he was born, then the wordless gasp of joy when Oberyn said that he'd be his champion was touching.

Melisandre/Selyse was a bit gratuitous in fanservice unfortunately. But at least it sets up how Stannis's whole family is heading out of Dragonstone, especially considering what will happen to it next season.

The only thing I liked about Daenerys's scenes is the change from the book, where she'll try and take back Yunkai.

And then there's the Eyrie. They had Sansa build the Snow Winterfell, and almost everything from there was loyal to the book.

Except for the final words - they changed it to "Your Sister". While it means the same thing, just the words "Only Cat" were really a big moment in the book and they didn't need to change it. Oh well. Excellent finisher.

My thoughts on this ep, it just felt off.

Confessions of a Team Dragonstone fan (ASOS/Show spoilers)


Whew, okay. I'm so sorry about that, but anyway, the episode.

Yeah, the Brienne situation was startling. I was surprised by that, that they would make Brienne's story so dramatic and plot-changing like that, yet I'm kind of excited too that she might get much closer to the Starks than in the books.

Re-reading AFFC, her adventures with Septon Meribold and Nimble Dick and all that were kind of endearing and world-building, but slowed down the story and wouldn't really work well on TV. But that she's got so much closer to the Stark girls makes me think that she might even actually find Sansa next season, while they're touring around the Vale, and I can see that going about the same way, probably ending with a Brienne vs. Yohn Royce fight, wow, that'd be amazing.

Anyways, yeah, the thing with Jojen did suck. Poor kid.

But yeah, the thing I'm most excited about next season is Cersei. She was great in ep 10, doing the "fuck you, dad" scene. I'm really interested to see how the plot of the Mad Queen will sort out. I've been seeing all sorts of rumours pop up over the internet, including a flashback of Maggy the Frog. Since in the show there's probably not going to be as many characters for her to play around with, like I think they'll probably cut minors like Harys Swyft, Gyles Rosby, the Merryweathers, etc, and rely on other major characters to fill the blanks. I do hope they include the Kettleblacks though, they were fun.

Close runners up of interest of course is the stories of the 3 mains - Jon, Tyrion and Daenerys. Only of course I hope they go about them the right way. Jon's story felt like a course in management after Stannis left, Tyrion's was kind of bogged down with travel, although with Varys with him for snarking contests I could watch that all day, and Daenerys's courts got a little bit tiring, but with Show Hizdahr looking much better than the slimy arrogant snob he was in the books, that does look more exciting.

Oh yes, and I really really want to know if the Daario=Euron theory is true.

My take on the season as of the halfway point.

Was going to save my full review until the end of the season. I'll just say that tonight's episode WAS NOT OKAY.

The writers are fucking horrible talentless hacks. They just don't get it. Yet they sit there smugly adoring the smell of their own farts as they destroy this story.

Urgh. Disgusting. Oh and Dorne was a waste of time.

Oh well. Found this the other day, it amused me. Should tickle bookreaders too.
