Most of them are independent of one another, and game of thrones is so successful because everyone can latch onto to at least one character who appeals to them and you don't necessarily need to know everything about the other ones. I mean each perspective is basically a different kind of book in itself. I think if your favourite character is daenerys you'll know whats going on with her, and you'll still enjoy the other characters even if your not nearly as attentive to them. And then that favourite character dies. Joke aside, I think you are right. I watch the Wire now, and I can hardly remember the names of more than 5-6 of the main characters. I have very little understanding of the political going-ons and who knows/works with who, but I still enjoy the show immensely. | ||

That's it, I'm not watching this show anymore lol I love T&A as much as the next guy until giving her face/ass time takes away from the others, to the point that an episode can feel rushed. I wonder how much screen time she's gotten. I love boobs but GOT's story is so good and the cast is so strong, it makes me sad to see randomboobs/randomfucking. WTF. | ||

So if you have an HBO account and want to watch the episode early (episode 2 is already out) you should check out the intarwebs. They'll be doing it again? Oh goodie. | ||

From a curious and questioning "Hodor?" to an enthused "Hodor". But alas, what scant time there was for character building has been usurped by the elevated prominence of a red headed tavern wench.

Ironically I am taking a class in neurobiology (which I just scored a 9 in my test, fuck yeah) Hodor seems to suffer from a classic case of Aphasia, there are several people around the world that sadly live the same life hodor does with regards with their capacity to communicate with others. His was caused by a head trauma if im not mistaken, he was dropped on the head as a baby, he probably has developed more disorders over time, since he received no treatment at all, and was treated as a mentally impaired person. But afaik, theres nothing to say he doesnt have a complex personality, its just his cognitive habilities that are impaired. | ||

Normally I'm the first to make fun of America's love for violence and hatred for just one bare breast, but in this case.. The sex scenes in the show rarely add anything whatsoever to the plot, while the beheadings and murdered infants are kind of very focal plot points. | ||

"Get those titties out of my face" is possibly the most obnoxsious nit pick to have about the show. And btw . when the slut comes out with the man spooge all over her face as it gets wiped away by littlefinger before she starts making out with the 2nd guy, was FUCKING HILARIOUS. It adds plenty IMO. | ||

The sex isn't offensive because it's sex, it's merely starting to get annoying having to watch a good solid chunk now, of every episode devoted to some fairly lame flirtatious dirty talk and hilarious sex moves. It's a pretty obnoxious show sometimes. So no, this isn't a "tone the show down for my prude tastes." I found a lot of these types of scenes helpful in the first season to developing characters. Lately it's more comic relief, though. | ||

I don't think it's so much that people are bothered about Tits getting in their faces until it subtracts time from characters who actually drive the plot forward. Judging from some responses to Ep1 saying they thought it felt rushed, I think it's a valid concern. Don't get me wrong, I think Tits is a great character, but I doubt she'll be influencing fate of nations. There are so many great characters and it goes just to show what a great job they're doing when people would rather see these other characters instead of Tits. | ||
