Its not, he sent his bastard to Winterfell, but his bastard has not has not been introduced to TV viewers other than that. Locke is the name of the dude who chops Jamie's hand off. | ||

DB Weiss and David Benioff are nothing if not slaves to the novels. For both good and bad. | ||

There's something depressing about so many good performances that get these 2 minute window to develop their characters. If you combine all of Cirian Hinds scenes as Mance Rayder, do we maybe 200 words of dialogue? I watched Mad Men right after this, it's a stark (kekekeke) difference in character development. DB Weiss and David Benioff are nothing if not slaves to the novels. For both good and bad. Mad Men has 4-6 different actors. Don, Peggy, Pete, and Roger. Everyone else is just their hanger on. Game of Thrones has literally three times as many main characters and then their respective hangers on. Totally different. But I agree that as the different people continue to do different things, the show will inevitably continue this 2 minutes for everyone stuff and it deteriorates in quality simply because there are too many great characters with great lines and most of them wont get shown. | ||

Yeah, I wasn't saying I wanted Game of Thrones to be Mad Men. I don't have that expectation, it's a different story. I'm not even sure that Game of Thrones will suffer in quality. I just wanted to say that it's interesting how two very quality shows (Mad Men the superior of the two from a television perspective,) can be very different. You might say that Mad Men has the tendency to get too introspective and burdened with second meaning - this can get as exhausting as watching dudes ride around on horses in the north, the in the south, then across the ocean - it's just different. | ||

Dany translates it for viewers and add to it "Yes, but not women". | ||

Imagine how youd feel about mad men if Don or Roger only had as much time on as Kenny. Yes, of course. That was my point. The creators of Game of Thrones clearly want to push their plot forward - this is why there's so much exposition in the form of speeches and people walking to other places, and also they like to sprinkle in fan service. This is fine, of course, but it makes the scenes like Catelyn's contemplation disappointingly rare. The immediate response is, "They only have 10 episodes and 50 minutes per episode." But that's the showrunner's job. Stannis is broken because he lost a battle 5 episodes ago. We've seen him for maybe 5 minutes. Where's his rumination? Where's his smoldering? We can't get a lot of that - all we know about him is that he's stubborn, driven and slightly off kilter. Everything else is left to the actor to convey in his time on screen - which, as we already noted, is scarce. | ||

Gladly, I'm able to enjoy both. I wonder sometimes however if the show is not a bit too hard to follow without any book knowledge with all those characters and names thrown without a lot of exposition. | ||
