Game of Thrones begins....

[Josephus]

Jack Gleeson will be an awesome theater actor when he gets over this "I want to study" mood.

Once he realizes there's no money in being clever, he'll go back to playing roles written for him.

Plus, he made it clear that he was being bratty to get revenge on those who'd pushed him around for so long. 

You make it sound like he's got halfway legitimate grievances. What did Sansa Stark do to push him around? Joffrey is a monster, not merely a spoiled child.

[Razgovory]

Some site reported that he just didn't find acting "fun" anymore. Star as an evil and cruel boy king with millions of nerds with various social impediments and mental health problems watching, and you would want to become a student or just about anything that makes you less of an attraction to those.
Poor lad. Destroyed by one part.

Some people just find they don't like acting.  The chick from the Wonder Years got a degree in mathematics and never went back to acting.

I think he's taking out his hatred of all things Stark on her.  Her sister humiliated him, her mother insulted his family, her father tried to say that he was an illegitimate monster and her older brother rebelled against him and proceeded to make him look weak.  Sansa was a convenient target for his wrath, as nobody (except for occasionally his uncle/her husband) would stand up for her.  Sure, it's monstrous and unreasonable, but it would make sense to Joffrey.

The love interest? She was

Apparently the band playing at the wedding that get coins thrown at them were Sigur Ros.

Such a great show.

[Josephus]

Loved the Python reference.

[viper37]

I just love Daenerys
I think, of all the characters, she's the one that got the most evolution so far, and in the books, she's close second to Arya.

[Solmyr]

This episode does a good job of establishing that Jaime and the Hound are not actually nice people.

[Josquius]

Tommen was recast ey? I thought so.
I'm really not sure about this kid. Aging up the other characters...yeah, it works. But Tommen....the whole thing about him in the books is he was a lovely innocent little kid who just wanted to play with his cats and would be nothing but a pawn. Here he's a teenager, you'd think someone that age would be a bit more forthright.
And I suppose it puts a different spin on his relationship with Margery...she can control him not because she controls the supply of kittens and candy but because she controls the boobs.

[HVC]

Just found out the Hound is the "Yarp" guy from Hot Fuzz. The illusion as been shattered, I can't look at the hound the same way again.

[garbon]

Remembering things from Hot Fuzz...

[Eddie Teach]

Fortunately, I don't remember the movie at all, so my image of the Hound is untouched.
