Geoffrey Stark.
It's Geoffrey Baratheon-Lannister. You're thinking of Brian Stark.

Really not looking forward to the possibility of Bran being overwhelmed by creepo Iron Island folks, especially if it's all down to Theon "Ian" Greyjoy.

nice to see finchy up to his old tricks as well
I don't recall Theon "Ian" Grejoy being quite this whiny and pathetic in the books. Am I misremembering? I recall a twat, but not a complete twat.
Loving Stephen Dillane as Stannis. So completely humourless.
― Manfred Mann meets Man Parrish (ithappens), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 13:52 (twelve years ago) link
Ian was always kind of whiny douche. He expected everyone on the Iron Islands to be kissing his ass when he came back and got all sulky and petulant when that turned out not to be the case.

Was pretty startled by how matter-of-factly they did the shadowbabby killshot! Kind of awesome that they didn't prep with a sense of dread at ALL.

I thought it was kind of OTT, like a lot of the magicky stuff so far. I guess I liked (what felt like) an elliptical, minimal, treatment by GRRM, but I guess it's kind hard to make 'elliptical' work for TV w/o just seming vague and imprecise.

Really loved this episode, especially Jaqen H'ghar!

IIRC there was nothing vague or imprecise about the attack on Renly; I thought that was very, very faithful to my recollection of the book.
― I'M THAT POSTA, AAAAAAAAAH (DJP), Thursday, 3 May 2012 05:30 (twelve years ago) link
pretty quick and understated, too (thought i haven't read the books)
in some ways GoT is a constant frustration, in others it's my favorite thing. definitely one of the coolest groups of strong, varied, kickass female characters i've ever seen on tv. catelyn, daenerys, arya, margaery, osha, brienne: more than half the reason i watch this show. post-escape discussion between catelyn and brienne was great, both michelle and gwendoline really delivering. and arya going head to head w tywin, "anyone can be killed", i mean damn.
jaqen's such a great new character, very curious to see how he develops

still think emilia clarke is rather dull as daenerys: good when she's happy, a bit bland otherwise. the part's written well, but i don't know that she's bringing much to it. gorgeous though, and that makes up for a lot.

i got pretty roundly beaten down on the internet when i suggested on a feminist thread that this show wasn't the most disgusting, misogynistic television ever created. they were having none of it.
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Thursday, 3 May 2012 07:07 (twelve years ago) link
well it is and isn't, right? it's arguably misogynist in lots of trivial ways, and the female characters are often defined according to predictably girlish/hott/maternal templates, but at the same time, it allows and celebrates strong, independent female characters like nothing else on tv that i'm aware of.

― Clay, Thursday, 3 May 2012 07:14 (twelve years ago) link
I agree. And there are plenty of feminist critics out there singing its praises.
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Thursday, 3 May 2012 07:22 (twelve years ago) link
I think some people's brains can't cope with the idea that a story portraying an enormously sexist world and enormously sexist characters is not necessarily enormously sexist itself.

― Scary Move 4 (dog latin), Thursday, 3 May 2012 10:07 (twelve years ago) link
wouldnt it be fair to say though that "strong, independent females" are equally predictable (and perhaps equally trivial) in this kinda nerd stuff? like there's always always warrior queens and powerful witches and one plucky ladywarrior alongside the wenches
― r|t|c, Thursday, 3 May 2012 11:29 (twelve years ago) link
ie putting women on an ineffable pedestal often goes hand in hand with general misgoyny
― r|t|c, Thursday, 3 May 2012 11:32 (twelve years ago) link
This article does a good job of addressing the series's treatment of female characters (amongst a lot of other things).http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/television/2012/05/07/120507crte_television_nussbaum
― gyac, Thursday, 3 May 2012 11:50 (twelve years ago) link
this isn't strictly accurate; rather, it's more that it isn't intended to be an endorsement of enormous sexism (whether it succeeds in its criticism is really up to the viewer reaction)
― I'M THAT POSTA, AAAAAAAAAH (DJP), Thursday, 3 May 2012 13:15 (twelve years ago) link
The books are more successful at dealing with the topic of misogyny than the tv show, which trips itself up by adding in unnecessary sex scenes that only seem to be included to bump up ratings and get us though slow exposition.
― Moodles, Thursday, 3 May 2012 13:59 (twelve years ago) link
A friend told me that every sex scene in the show was in the book. He's lying or remembering incorrectly, right?
