HBO's Game of Thrones. [No Book Spoilers]

[Xant]

I think it depends on what you would call an "interesting character", but I agree that since Ned Stark's death there is no real "good guy" left to root for (though it's my guess that this is exactly what is intended).

I don't care much for "good guys", but interesting characters like Bronn (still alive but being a knight off-screen somewhere in the books), Oberyn (around briefly...), Jaqen, Jaime (changes a lot after his hand gets cut), Qhorin, Benjen and Syrio have all been more or less done away with. What's left of the cast wouldn't be an odd sight in an episode of the Bold and the Beautiful.

Lol there's mad Gayme of Throne nerd admins on EU and NA servs muting people for pretending to spoil GOT.


Bet nobody would care about Sons of Anarchy, House of Cards etc.. spoilers. Nurrrddssss

Never watched "Bald and Beautiful but I think I get what you mean. Still I think that Jaime is still worth to follow. The other guys you meantioned (except Oberyn) where meant to be side-kicks from the beginning, at least this is my impression.

Yeah I agree, it seems Martin gets kicks of introducing characters he knows people find fascinating and for whom they root and then letting them die or disappear, it is super clever because it is unpredictable or something. In the end though he shoots himself in the foot majorly as he just leaves most of the writing going on about a bunch of weepy goody two shoes. I still find Jaime quite interesting and Sandor Clegane is one of my favourite characters, however both seem to be progressing towards being boring. Also, I really hate Daenerys as a character and while I am on that subject, the cast switch for Daario is a huge turn for the worse.

Seriously bummed about Oberyn though, such a pointless waste of an excellent character

[Xant]

Yeah, Jaime is one of my favorite characters currently in the books. But I like some action in my fantasy too, and all Jaime can do now is talk. As if there aren't enough characters who only talk... like you say, most of the remaining ones are weepy goody two-shoes.

Sandor is great. So...

of course GRRM decides to get rid of him too, happens very soon IIRC. And the way Oberyn exits the stage is pretty gay, too.

Sons of Anarchy

Just started watching that a week ago, have like 6 seasons to catch up on, no spoilrz thanks.

Spoilers: It's good.

Spoilers: It's not good if you're expecting Game Of Thrones, Rome, Spartacus etc.. softcore sex scenes at every episode.

[Oberyn]

This may be a surprise to you, but it's possible to enjoy something and not expect it and want it everywhere, all the time. I also enjoy reading dry historical treatises, but I don't look for that style in my porn. Also yeah the blatant sexy-times they shoehorn into every episode I see as a tollbooth sort of thing. It's merely the price to pay for an HBO show imo lol.

Even without tits, Game of Thrones and Rome are better than Sons of Anarchy, it's still pretty good though.

You don't really think Martin is letting characters die only because he knows people like them? I agree that it is a waste of good characters but of course their deaths are planned probably even before he starts writing because they are important for the story line. In Ned's case I think it is clear that his death set's ground to the whole drama of the Stark family.

(click to show/hide)

Oberyn's case is not so different, the whole story arcs we are about to see/read only make sense with this great character dying at that point. Sandor is different though, his death is not important at all but then again what should Martin tell us about him at this stage? Should he get his own POV, join the nights watch (haha) or what else? And of course it is not 100% sure we won't see him again at a later time.

However I agree that it would be nice to have one or two more interesting characters at the center of the action, but I'm happy if he gets the books done at all. It still will be a huge great story with many strengths and only a few drawbacks, IMO.

No. Only if you're into Fantasy Medieval crap. It lives on that and it's gory-ness and porn-lite scenes.

Game of Thrones got nothing on series such as Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, Rome, Sopranos, etc..

[Angantyr]

Sons of Anarchy is overrated in my opinion, and doesn't bear mention with the really great TV shows. I've only watched a few episodes, mind, but I think the main actors are notoriously miscast, I've known a few bikers and violent criminals in my life, and none of these actors have the demeanor or the eyes, especially not of anyone supposed to be professional murderers and pimps (as in Prison Break particularly not the Hollywood boy protagonist). A portrayal much more convincing in series such as OZ and the Wire.

[Xant]

SoA is alright, but it's something you watch when you're bored, not something you wait on the edge of your seat for. But it's better than Breaking Bad, at least. I wish I could get all that time back..

Now, I watched the 2 episodes of season 4. I got curious what all the fuss was about.
Well, what can I say? I "organized" the other 3 seasons and now I am watching them while I keep watching season 4 too.
Kinda funny since I know nothing about all of them when I watched season 4 but straight from season 1 episode 1 it seems rather easy to predict what's going to happen.

But that's not my reason writing this, I am actually here to ask for a few spoilers as I go along and watch all the other seasons...

1. Are those 2 actually real brother and sister? You know... those 2 fucking and dumping that little boy down the tower? I mean... wtf?
2. Is the King's son actually his son or is he the incest son of those siblings?

Those 2 questions I'd like to have answered Anyone willing to help me out?
And Jesus Christ, that King's son is such a disgusting piece of shit. Can't stand him right from the start. He certainly looks like 'incest'
