murdered his really dumb wife's brother or whatever to secure the land for himself
Right but, what does he have besides that land? He has no high and mighty friends (even less so than previously). The only thing I can think is that he whores himself out to someone like Dany or Stannis, but even then... how useful could he possibly be? His thing was always being a man-on-the-ground.

The ruthless gall to take whatever he can by force.

If Warhammer's taught me anything - you can't be the general if you're on a dragon. Someone's got to keep the rest of the guys inline whilst you're elsewhere.
Being number 2 for now is always more fun than actually ruling some shithole.
If you look at the Menu's in the link they seem to go in order based on the which fruit in the pictures has been cut. Also parts of it are written in Red.
King's Landing - T R
Riverlands F - H
Wall T
(S) Pentos - T
(W)interfell N D - A - A
But then I have no idea what to do with this information. I can't seem to stop the drink from pouring no matter what I do with either the keyboard or mouse.
Game Of Thrones is gory, adult stuff, and appears to have been designed specifically to rile Daily Mail readers, with its foul-mouthed young princes and unapologetic nudity. The rather self-consciously sensationalistic moments don't always sit well with its grittier, more dramatic points, but then again, it would probably feel a little too po-faced without a few moments of crude levity.
It sounds like a bad idea until you consider This will allow each reader to follow his favorite characters, and ignore the ones he finds tedious, whiny, or annoying.
Question about King Robert (big spoiler if you haven't read the first book)
I have never read the series, sadly I've tried to get into it several times, but despite loving what I've read, I always managed to get sidetracked by another book.
However, I do remember reading somewhere that King Robert dies.
I love Mark Addy, the actor playing him on the show. So I'm curious as to how long I can expect King Robert to live. Is his death very early in the story? Can I expect him to die within the first few episodes. OR does he last a while before he meets his gruesome drunken end?
I just gotta know so I'm not too crushed if he dies very early on.
Oh yeah, as a side-note, I plan on doing what I did with Lord of the Rings with this series. Watch it first, THEN read the books. I find it better to read afterwords so I have even more content to look forward too, rather than less wrapped up in a pretty box.

I am just realizing, since GRRM wrote his books with character specific chapters, this means something very different can be done for the episodes.
And with an earlier poster, yeah, this means people can skip or not pay attention to the characters they don't care for. (Kind of like with "Trueblood." )
But then, doesn't this mean the storylines of individual characters can be a lot more different then what was in the books? Some characters can now have the opportunity to have a lot more going on, since we can follow those characters around with a camera and see their lives more.
I am liking this, if they pursue this as a course of action. Give me more character and character activity.
Is chrome telling anyone that warseer has malware?
Yep, it is. The forums need to be nuked from orbit. With fire. Or Vanilla. Only way to be sure.
The closer this gets to release the more I think "Damnit, I know what's going to happen...where's the new book?". So eventually the TV show will catch up and pass the books and it'll just be the 2nd part and progress shall be made!
I had been ignoring this thread (and the previous thread) for months, randomly clicked on it today, and found out that a) the tv show is just a few weeks away, and b) per GRRM, the new book is coming out in just a few months! Great news all around.

Why do I get a feeling Dinklage is going to start ruling conventions in the next few years?
Cut it at the line I really wanted to hear the rest of.
they should have done this for a wheel of time!
This makes me like it without having even watched it.
and his name is Conan Stevens
that seems like an unusually prescient name choice
(SoS spoiler)
"Gregor, what is best in life?"
I think the casting person who picked Aidan Gillen for the role was spot on tbh.
Arya got a life of excitement and adventure
Sansa got caught up in the movings and shakings of lords and ladies, knights and their maidens.
They just got the dark, ugly versions of those wishes. There's something about underbelly wish-fulfillment that I really like out of their lives.
But thats not what this post is really about. We have all these character pieces up on youtube, but where is Hodor's?
Come on, give me Hodor.

I'd guess around episode 6 or 7, 8 at the latest, depending on what they want to do with the aftermath.

I have my first (minor) disappointing change...
Arya and Sansa; Arya and Bran. :^: "Here, Arya is worse than her sister"; "here, Arya is better than all of her brothers".
Wights / Beyond the Wall were fair. I don't care so much that they opened at the wall, though. Made it feel more rushed.
Bran's talk with Eddard was good. The actual beheading was meh.

Yeah, I probably worded that badly.
So them finding the camp within, oh, 5 minutes of screen time, doesn't really give any indication of how long they've been searching for.
All of this is subject to my memory; I can't find my copy at the moment.
