Game of Thrones begins....

[Ed Anger]

With giant hairy feet.

[Slargos]

I can indeed not imagine that they'd wax their feet.

Nor do I really want to.

Mart would want to know.

[Slargos]

I imagine he would be disappointed.

[Martinus]

I love trolling threads full of people who have not read the books and are crying that Ned died. I told them Tyrion dies on the season finale. 

[Razgovory]

Yes, that would sound like something you would love.

Eccleston for Stannis?

I pictured Stannis a little more heavy-set but yeah that would be great!  He even looks like a Baratheon.

I thought Stannis was a super-thin and wiry type of guy.

Not quite super thin but I always picture him as quite gaunt. The sort of guy who would eat museli and other simple, rubbish food, because nice stuff is an unnecessary indulgance.

I love trolling...

FYP.  Save electrons and peoples' time.

I see your candy ass 8-bit nonsense, and raise you the truly epic:

It's pretty amazing how they've pushed the limits of what's possible for the Commodore.

You have to realize that this is the 13th century and you can't judge people by today's standards. Back then he would've been heavy set by comparison to the filthy and starving.

At least 80% of the population are agricultural laborers of some sort. Years of intense physical labor. I think bulky arms would, if anything, be more common in reasonably prosperous feudal societies than today.

What a great fucking end to the season. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.

[Habbaku]

Tonight's episode was slightly lesser than last weeks' (though, it's rather hard to top the climax of that), but it was excellent all the same.  Can't wait for season 2. 

The biggest complaint I have is that the "King of the North" scene seemed short and rushed.
