Not so sure about marrying a girl he loves, rather the slag he pops his cherry with and feels so guilty about it he marries her anyway.

And IIRC there are indications that he was set up for it by Tywin.

One thing I'm missing in the show so far is Robert's brothers. Renly is barely on-screen, and Stannis hasn't even been mentioned at all yet. Granted, Stannis doesn't make an appearance in the first book, but his involvement is still important to the plot.
They really weren't that important yet were they?

Renly was very important in the first book.
Very? :yeahright:  I'm just about done with the first book, and he is mentioned less than Stannis I think, though he does actually appear in person.

Also, I wanna say that the guy who plays Theon is hot. And he always struck me as a little bitch in the books, so he is well cast. :P

Like what?
I totally missed that. Seemed to just be bad luck to me that he got injured and things went rather Back to the Future...only they actually did do it...and it wasn't his mother.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Renly and Loras are the most important characters in the series!

Both of you make very good points, but I am a bit surprised at Slargos analysis, a bit too modern for him.  :P

Modern in the sense of an early 20th century crude Marxist-materialistic analysis, yes.

Can we agree they are the most important characters who have gay man-on-man sex on the set?

They really weren't that important yet were they?

Renly was very important in the first book.
I'm talking about the first 40%, he was more important in the 2nd half IIRC.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.

Slargos is a creature of the 19th century?

What's your analysis of the subject.

'Game of Thrones' ratings rise again

HBO's Game of Thrones inched upward in the ratings for the second week in a row. The 9 p.m. airing was seen by 2.5 million viewers, up slightly from last week's 2.4 million, with a total of 3.1 million for the night including the repeat. Season to date, Thrones is averaging 8.3 million once all repeats and platforms are counted.

This is yet another positive sign for the fantasy series, climbing in the numbers despite the show's story pace lessening a bit the previous week. The show's action kicks into high gear starting on Sunday's fifth episode, which could result in Thrones gaining even more traction in the weeks to come, just like True Blood its first year.

HBO has been taken over by the Apple fanatics!  :mad:

QuoteThe executive on Tuesday also said that HBO Go will exclusively make available the following week's episode of new HBO hit Game of Thrones right after the May 22 episode, which ends with a cliffhanger that Kessler said will entice fans to immediately see what happens next. The move is part of a plan to offer exclusive content windows on HBO Go to "encourage registration" of users for the service, he said.

:hmm:  Trying to recall what the cliffhanger could be.  The result of Ned's scrap with Jaime, perhaps?

Lady Gaga for Melisandre! :yes:

    Now if only Lady Gaga would guest-star on "Game of Thrones," HBO would have an unstoppable ratings blockbuster -- and a very freaky bit of programming -- on its hands.
