Saw this remodelling of the Game Of Thrones series...

Edit: Gorram it. How the hell does this embedding stuff work?

Have a link: http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/06/is_game_of_thrones_considering.html

Dang, now I really wish I had Sky Atlantic to see the series. Hope the DVD release is some time soon. Just have to re-read the books until then I suppose...

Go to edit this post. When the draft comes up you'll notice a tablet across the top with lots of symbols. Have your cursor positioned where you want it. Then click on the round, cd looking thing that says media. Put the embed code from that video in the box



I haven't read the books, but I really enjoyed the first season on HBO. Bit gory in a lot of parts, and they sure do love to throw a lot of nudity around, but very compelling and great characters. The last two episodes blew me away.

Peter Dinklage as Tyrion is excellent. One of my favorite characters, easily. And gosh darn it, I know he's morally reprehensible, but I can't help but have a sort of begrudging respect for Jaimie Lannister. He's got his own honor code that he works within and I find him sort of fascinating.

The more you find out about Jaime, the better character he becomes.
He starts off quite the monster. Kingslayer and child killer. Until the end of the second book and the third book where he starts to get chapters from his Point Of View. He becomes a lot more interesting then.

Well, already, incorporated into the dialog, he often says things that make a lot of sense. He knows why he does bad things, and he's probably a bit bothered by it, but he's all about conviction and protecting his family. The fact that he slayed the Mad King is more of a plus than a negative to me.

I feel kind of bad for him that his son is a psychopath, but I suspect he doesn't think much of Joffrey, anyway.

Okay, there's either something wrong with your livejournal, or something wrong with that code, because it should have embedded in my post but there's nothing there.
