I knew that Neddy was going to die & now that it's done I wonder who will carry the show. It seems this will fall on Peter Dinklage or this show will die after 2 seasons.
The Imp for King!  Damn it, I love this little guy! :)
He could have been Robert's son, in a way :P


LOL, that really is a great point. Tempermenatlly he is very much like Robert, the difference being that Robert was always a hero, while Tyrion is always a "monster", and hence Robert became a unthinking sop, while Tyrion has no luxury of not staying sharp.

Maybe THAT is why Tywin hates him and Robert so much! Hmmm....I guess he down have the Lannister golden hair, so probably not Roberts child...:P

For the record, while I think Sean Bean was pretty well cast and I enjoyed his performance, the character of Ned (both in the books and as delivered on screen) is pretty bland and definitely not the "main lead" for the show, imo. He may have been positioned by the author to be in the centre of attention for a while, but I wouldn't call him someone who "carried" the story.
I haven't read enough of the book to know that, but in the show's marketing, clearly, we were led to believe Sean Bean had a major role in the show, with all these images showing him sitting on the throne or elsewhere, sword in hand.

This might have pissed off people who followed the show only for Sean Bean, the same people who watched Transformers only for Megan Fox.

Transformers would have been a much better movie if Megan Fox had her head cut off at some point though.

That would be fucking awesome.

They should have cut all the human's heads off in Transformers.  The freaking human characters were always the biggest drag.  I want to see giant robots not puny humans is that too much to ask?

Had Megan Fox blown Starscream then the movie would have been worth watching.

The only thing that could've improved the Transformers movies would've been if Megan Fox personally came to my place and gave me a blow job WHILE WATCHING IT.

I think that getting a blow job by any girl will make Transformers a much better movie. Or Any movie.

It's going to be weird to start liking Jaime.

Don't know if you will start liking him exactly.  Its not like all the things in the first book were just a dream sequence.  But his character should become more complex if the screenplay follows the books.

Quote"Ned Stark changes everything. Sean Bean's remarkable performance last night made me understand what true honor is. Therefore, effective today I will resign my seat as Representative of New York's 9th Congressional District to take the black and join my Brothers at the northern Wall, where we will guard America against the evil of Canada's White Walkers. Thank you, and may the Gods bless America."

Oh btw, the Great Bear Mormont - another case of excellent casting.

Well....that was dissapointing.

  • Agreed that Shae seems too old.
  • No battle? WTF? Tyrion knocked out at the start- eh....right. Isn't it supposed to be a big plot point that he gains a bit of favour with his dad via 'capturing' a enemy lord? And not showing the battle in the wood at all.... I mean no fighting whatsoever! Gah! Should have at least had bits of some battles. I mean, Sharpe managed it, hardly gonna blow the budget.
  • A book point really but...why on Earth doesn't Ned shout 'I take it back, I lied. Stannis is the king.' or the like there at the end?
  • The scale really is underwhelming in a lot of places. The execution was rather good (though where was the great sept?) and crowded but otherwise...meh. How expensive is doubling crowds? Its been done for years. Even sets are underwhelming -outside Twins...awesome! Inside Twins...how are they going to work the Red Wedding in that little place?
  • I notice they don't actually show Ned's head being cut off. Just the sword coming down...Sure, it was undoubtedly Ned, that conspiracy theory is gone. Nonetheless....Ned aint dead nuts rejoice!

Ned doesn't take it back because he only "confessed" to save his daughters.  To recant after the change to his fate would serve even less of a purpose.  Now he would be a liar, an oath breaker, a traitor, and his daughters would be dead as well probably.

They didn't really show the battle in the books either.
