Game of Thrones (Spoiler Alert)

This television show produced by HBO and is based off of an epic fantasy series by George RR Martin, first published in 1996. I was glad that it was HBO that picked up this series because I think they are the only station that could do this show correctly and have it play out in such an amazing way! The timings of all the storylines were amazing and the characters were introduced and played out so well.

Here are some more thoughts on the show. Be aware of spoilers if you haven’t finished the series yet!!

• Daenerys Targaryen is my absolute FAVORITE in this show – she’s amazing, strong, and in the end, she’s a powerhouse! Not only is the actress Emilia Clark amazing, she makes ‘Danny’ amazing as well! She ends up in an arranged marriage to the Dothraki warlord, her brother trying to use this tribe to gain fighters against King Robert. I found myself rooting for this couple all along – and even at the end, when Khal Drogo dies, she’s still so strong and I admire her!
• The Twins – Jaime and Cersei make me SICK! Who sleeps with their twin sister?? And creates children from it?? GROSS!!
• Tyrion Lannister (The Imp) is another of my favorite characters – he adds a comical level to the show that is just interesting and useful! He’s strong and not quite as deceitful as his twin siblings. He deals well with being blamed for his mother’s death (she died during giving birth to him). He’s a whoremonger – but still has a decent head for war on his shoulders. I think it will be interesting to see him as the hand of the king next season. I was glad to hear his father call him “his son” in the finale.
• Lord Petyr Baelish, nicknamed "Littlefinger," grew up with Catelyn and fought Eddard's brother Brandon for her hand – but Catelyn ended up married to Eddard once his brother died. Petyr betrayed Ned, and I hate him for that, but he was the one that helped Ned figure out about all of King Robert’s bastard children – and that Cersei’s kids weren’t Roberts.
• One of my other favorite guys is Jon Snow – Ned’s bastard child. I also love his wolf, Ghost. I think he’s going to be a great character in the Night’s watch.
• I also can’t wait to see what happens with Catelyn and Robb Stark – and their revenge on Joffery for ordering Ned’s death for treason against the Iron Throne.
• I’m also interested to see what happens to Arya. I can’t wait to see what becomes of her and her learning to sword fight and being there when her father was killed. I think she will join her Mom and Robb at some point to get her revenge!
• I feel bad for Sansa, she devoted herself to Joffery – but had to watch her father die. She’s stuck in King’s landing now and I fear for her! She’s not going to have an easy time there!

I have so much more to talk about, but don’t want to give too much away. I welcome comments about the show and I would LOVE to hear what you think, if you agree with me or disagree with my thoughts on the show or on a character! (:
