That's your problem, grumbler. Few men here can challenge your intellect one on one. It is like being Mike Tyson in the 80s and going to your local bar and asking "Anyone want to fight?".

Everyone would run to the door except Martinus - he would perhaps feebly attempt to beat you with his purse.

One thing that struck me about the Varys and Tyrion chat was their dragon talk....they just took it all at face value it seemed.
Tyrion pretty much said "She has dragons? OK. No worries, they'll take a while to grow." when he really should be "She has dragons? I suppose she has the children of the forest lining up to support her too."
In the books the stories of the dragons were treat mostly as hearsay.

Agreed things are going a bit slow.
Overall with the series I'm greatly dissapointed at how they skip over the action.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Babylon 5

Could never get into that show.

I wouldn't have minded it but for all the political plots, spaceships and aliens.

My main problem with it was that they apparently didn't have enough space dollars to get decent space lighting in their space station. It was always dark.

Agree with all of that except the bits about the political plots, spaceships, and aliens. :thumbsup:

Why was the Hound so badly casted?
It should have been the actor playing Bronn, or the one playing jaqar.
It should have been somebody that could look good with Sansa, despite the age diference.

He wasn't poorly-cast, in my opinion, but he's been ill-used.  And by that, I mean not at all.  If any character has been effectively cut from the series, it's him.
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.

Looks well casted to me.

Like Grumbler said, his character's been cut back a lot.

:lol:

Except that I wouldn't argue that the Hound has been under-used at all.  He has appeared where he needed to appear, which is how ensemble TV works.  They probably did all his scenes for the season in a few days, because that's all the time of his they would pay for.  Sansa didn't appear in ep 8 either.
