Perhaps not with as much outrage, though.

Well yeah but the thing is most other people have seen it as I am some years behind Thoughts ... oh I don't know. I don't like Joffrey and I don't like Jamie but does anyone? I don't like Joffrey's mum whose name I forget but I think she is beginning to learn a lesson. I want to shag John Snow. I am outraged that Sean Bean no longer has a head

Okay just stream of consciousness thoughts:
Tyrion is extremely charismatic - and knows it. Interesting to see him fall in love with the prostitute, Shay (spelling?). I want to think that she is a 'goodie' but I do not know. Instinct tells me that she is though.
Did Shay pay another girl to pretend to be Tyrion's whore and be taken hostage by his sister and beaten, or was the other girl genuinely one of his whores?
Was cross to see the death of thingy horseman husband of thingy dragon lady. Still not sure about her. Seems likeable enough but her costumes are a bit too ... cliched.

The bit with Bran and the other kids not being caught but someone else's kids being burned in their place was really too predictable... though G o T, to be fair, in general isn't. I suspect that Bran is going to survive to the end though. Again, no spoilers puh-lease.
I almost thought John was going to get laid for an instant in one of these episodes. I think he did too..
Am a bit unsure as to who this whatshisface is who's sailing on Joffrey. I don't want to look at any of the charts that explain who's who in case I see spoilers.
I like the little round guy whom John protected

Sansa is a silly cow. But she is young and already regrets it.

Nobody likes Joffrey. Nobody likes Cersei, his mother. But Jamie is OK, in a Lannister kind of way - he gets better.
It's possible that at least one of these 3 dies before the end of season 5.

No ... sailing on, as in sailing to try and take his city

I think one of the most unusual things about GoT is that no-one is completely good, or completely bad (apart from Joffrey of course). Even Cersei has her reasons for behaving the way she does... not that it excuses her. What I mean is, the characters are all quite complex and even the goodies make bad decisions and behave badly sometimes. You can't predict what someone will do - which is what makes it so compelling.

I still do not understand who the red lady is

Daenarys Targaryan is the dragon lady (also known as the Khaleesi). I'm not so keen on her character either - I want to like her more, but I suspect it's the fault of the actress - I'm just not convinced by her. And yeah, ditto the costumes.

Daenarys makes some foolish decisions as well, tough. I like how they make the characters all have faults, weaknesses, blind spots and foibles.

He DID lose the hand helping Brienne, might not be quite clear in the show...

She definitely noticed that he distracted the rowdy lot when they were about to turn on her - and he paid the price.

NOT pleased that Joffrey died (or that I was given a spoiler about it before he did lol). I felt that that was a bit .. anti climactic. Joffrey was a brilliant character - utterly loathsome sadistic, a boy Caligula. And then he just sort of ... died, before he came anywhere near what could have been his diabolical peak. I think that they could have made a good deal more out of him.

I disagree. To me it felt like he was just becoming another "mad king" (been there, done that) and this one got nipped in the bud, as it were. Having everyone else battle all the more fiercely for the throne is more entertaining.

Post by Moose on Jul 9, 2015 18:16:48 GMT
But we didn't actually get to see the Mad King - only hear about him at second hand. And people are going to battle for the throne anyway . I'd rather have seen Joffrey live on and then come to a rather more horrible end.

Nah, I'd much rather have the angelic-seeming Tyrell women commit regicide.

Post by Moose on Jul 9, 2015 19:13:17 GMT
Which one is she? I dunno who killed him yet ... my money would be on Senza, Margery or her grandmother or as an outsider Cerycy. I hope that was not a spoiler
