bagheera_sanHave begun watching Game of Thrones and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner because yes, it is awesome. Maybe if people had said "baby wolves!" I would have watched it sooner.
I've only watched the first three episodes so far, but these are
- Baby wolves! Who grow up to be tame dire wolves.
- Horses! God, I want to ride again.
- Tyrion! Please be fandoms favourite character. I doubt he is (it's probably someone utterly dull like Jon Snow or that pretty brother who rules Winterfell in Ned's absence) but OMG. He reads books! He slaps bratty little brothers! He seems to be morally ambiguous yet awesome AND funny. Also, I hope at least one Tyrion/Peter Baelish fic exists. (Unless there are canonical reasons against that that I don't know yet.) If anyone ever films the Vorkosigan saga, Tyrion's actor MUST play Miles Vorkosigan (even though I'm not sure if Miles is quite that short. But who cares, this guy is PERFECT for the role.)
- Because, Baelish! With his brothel and his unrequieted love for that awesome lady whose name I'm not quite sure of... Caithlin? Names are so difficult in this show. And his moustache, maybe, I'm not sure about that yet. But mostly I love intrigue and most especially people who enjoy their intrigue so much.
- Blonde princess is also quickly growing on me, now that she has lesbian UST (probably not unresolved, I'm pretty sure she and slave girl had sex of some kind) and will probably get a dragon soon. Her brother is a) an elf of some sort and b) an evil little bitch. I hope fandom loves to put him in noncon situations a lot. Both their names escape me. Also, hey, Drogo is Ronon from SGA.
- What a lot of sex and incest this show has. I'm not sure I really want all those explicit incest and rape scenes, to be honest. More lesbian sex and/or more sex with people who are consenting and not related to each other would be great.
- The Lannisters are the evilest people on... this world. THEY KILLED A PET WOLF. Throwing Bran out of a window and killing kings is nothing compared to that. Even bitch brother is not this evil, although he might be related to them (I'm not actually sure what is going on with blonde sister and brother, except that they're exiled for some reason).
- Bran is a pretty cute kid. Yeah. I hope there will be more Bran and Tyrion interaction. Edit: Hm. Still not sure Tyrion did send the assassin... I guess we'll see in ep 5!
- Arya would be my wish fulfilment fantasy if I were ten. Sword-fighting! Oh yes.
- Pretty Sister (Sansa?) and Bratty Prince (Geoffrey?) are HORRIBLE as only teenagers can be, it's so perfect.
- I love the plot because damn, that is about the most challenging stuff to follow since, idk, Gallifrey S1-3.
Off to watch episode 4! Edit: Well... that was an unexpected ending!
