OT: Game of Thrones lost me last night...

[Xenomorph]

I've been on the edge after then first two episodes of season 2, but last night pushed me over. I think I'm done. Too many similar characters. Too many plot lines to keep track of. The ridiculous, comical 13 guardians of the mystical city in the desert. The religious redhead giving birth to a magical smoke giant.

You guys enjoy, but I'm out.

Bring on Boardwalk Empire S3!

i'm recommend keep watching, follow along the best you can, and then at some point in the future rewatch the entire season over the course of a few days or a week. the 13 guardians are a flamboyant bunch. that's how they were described in the books. they are incredibly rich and wear shiny silks and golds and lots of jewelry. they'll only be around for a couple of episodes.

obviously the story was oging to introduce more sorcery, but i thought they handled the shadow warrior pretty well. i was really concerned that it would go the way of a bad stephen king adaptation, but it actually wasn't bad at all, better than i could imagine it being on screen after reading the books.

If you don't like fantasy it's only going to ramp up from there. I would suggest at least watching through this season because you're going to miss a pretty bad-assed battle at the end of it (if they do it right).

But yes, a lot of characters are around, at least initially. But be patient if you would - a lot of them die, a lot of them disappear for awhile and a lot of them just don't matter at the end of the day.

Major characters:
The Starks
The Lannisters
Denaerys
Stannis Baratheon
Various Greyjoys (the Viking people) - switches between Theon and his sister (Asha in the book, can't remember what they renamed her).

Everyone else is pretty much secondary for the most part.
