Who do you support in the War of Five Kings? (Game of Thrones on HBO)

Just watched the 1st episode of this Game of Thrones thing.

Pretty good so far, but that blonde guy (who's sister is hot) is somewhat crazy.

Not as crazy as everybody else around him.  Jamie has actually grown on me a bit.  Sure that thing he did at the end of the first episode is despicable (suffering succotash), he's just playing his role in the game and doing it quite well.  I won't say he is a likeable character, but more likeable than his sister and much more so than his....ahem...."nephew".

No, I mean the blonde guy who forced his sister to marry that warrior guy, not that other blonde guy who f[inks]ed that woman in the tower while being watched by the 10 year old boy.

OH!  Yeah, he's nucking futs.  Arguably the second most hateable character on the show.  (and yes, his sister is quite hot...but quite crazy too)  And to make it worse, in the books she is like 12 or something when Conan rapes her.  Obviously they couldn't do that in the TV show.  Well, I guess they could, but it would have been even more disturbing than it was...and it was pretty freaking disturbing.

Didn't get that impression in the first episode. Maybe later she gets crazier (but don't tell anything, I want to watch it ... )

Yeah, in the TV show she looks like 18 or 20, not 12.

After seen Season One, I voted "Robb Stark".

BTW: How does this head look like GWB ? It's only a side view.

[Tender Branson]

Has anyone here NOT read the books?

I didn't read them.

[Tender Branson]

I found a good offer (all 5 books in English for 30€) and ordered them.

Too bad they have more than 5000 pages though ...

Hmm, after watching the episodes thru Season 2, Episode 7 it seems that Theon is quite crazy as well ... I thought he'd be more of the good ones.

[Tender Branson]

I'm watching the 8th episode of Season 2, and, for the moment, I support Daenerys Targaryen and Robb Stark. I'll read the books this summer, I can't wait until 2013. And my favourite character is, by far, Arya Stark, followed by Daenerys and Tyrion Lannister.

Do you watch it in English or Spanish-dubbed ?

Because in Austria/Germany, only the 7th episode of the 2nd season is dubbed. With 3 still missing, but those will be aired in the next 3 weeks here.

Does anyone of you know exactly what children were shown behind Theon at the end of S02E07, when he called the residents of Winterfell to the square incl. the old man ? I can probably imagine who it was, but I'm not sure. Or is it revealed in epidode 8 ? If so, please just say so.

Your suspicions, whatever they make be, are almost certainly correct.

I've now watched episode 8 and it seems they killed the Farmer's boys instead of Bran and his younger brother.

Also, Robb Stark and his "nurse" from Volantis would make a perfect King and Queen from what I've seen in this episode. And she's quite hot too ...
