Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)

[keg in kc]

A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.

A few quick ground rules:

• No Spoilers!!!!! for upcoming episodes.
• Larger Song of Ice and Fire discussion should be limited to the other thread although I think a tiny bit of book delving to fill in holes should be okay (example of this would be talking about Catelyn and her treatment of the wolves in the novel, which was alluded to on TV but never really made clear...)
• Everything that happened that week is fair game once an episode airs. So if you don't watch on Sunday night, I'd stay outta here until you do...

I would chain both Sansa and him to the same cinder block and push them into the water.

Having just started the book, I still see him as Justin Beiber when I'm reading.

That kid in the show somehow seems more like a 'cool' snob. Almost like a rich jock in HS. The Joffrey I get from the books is more of mean, bumbling shithead. There's nothing detached or callous about his snobbery like there is in the show - he's just a mean bully of a kid that hides behind his rank.

I honestly think the TV show gives him too much credit.

Can't bring myself to hate Sansa.

She's a snob, but she's been raised that way. I don't believe she's mean spirited or means ill, she just thinks the way she acts is the way a 'proper lady' should behave. I don't think she understood the gravity of the situation with Aria/Joffrey situation and is otherwise just something of a immature child that's trying to be what her mother and teacher expects her to be.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to hate her, but to this point I just can't.

I'm on of the people who have read the book, I hate Sansa with a passion. I think it's very doubtful she was taught to lie to the king. She's a ****ing idiot.

On the show, the queen clearly knew she was just outside the room waiting to be called in. I have to assume she planted the forgot/didn't see story. Who knows what she promised her in return.

My TV reaction is the same as my book reaction: apathy.

Sansa is perhaps the least interesting character. Maybe because she's the most generic.

You never got angry at her?

Not really, no. I was mostly angry with George RR for making me read another chapter that I really didn't give a shit about.

It's sort of like my initial reaction to Dany. They're there. I wish I was reading about somebody else.

I can't really discuss Sansa too much because of possible spoilers, but I just can't believe that her not telling the truth to Robert in Ep2 didn't anger you at all.

My wife's reaction was, "that stupid little bitch deserves whatever she gets".

mah bad

Nobody has 'discussed the book'. All I've done is discuss how my reaction to Sansa is the same with the show as it was with the book. Not even a smidgen of other information was presented.
