at the rate this show adds new roles, by season 8, each character will get one line per episode |

I love how Tywin yells. He doesn't get all that much louder, he just cranks the bass up to eleven. | |

Superb episode. I liked Tywin aswell. And Stannis' wife keeping her stillborns around was pretty eerie. | |

I'm not sure I like these new Stannis developments. It looks to me that his daughter's face is more scaly than burnt, which means that either there is something about Dragonstone making some people like dragons, or there is experimentation going on there that we have yet to find out about. My guess is the latter, and that something involving Stannis and co is trying to create new dragons the way that Targaryens are dragons. |

I'm not sure you disagree with me because you said that expansiveness detracts from character development, which is what I said. It seems you think that it isn't a problem; whereas, I do. |

Clearly you are the one who is not comprehending the other. You are holding character development up as the end all be all in terms of importance in a narrative. I disagree. | |

No I'm not. It is the most important aspect of any story, but not the only one. |

It may be more open to him returning, but if he doesn't return, it would be erroneous to say it's a plothole or that he didn't fulfill his purpose in the narrative. | |

I agree with boost here, googled to find examples of good stories that lack character development...and am left confused as to what character development actually is. | |

Like, Indiana Jones and Sherlock Holmes lack character development in terms of change or growth, but they have it in terms of being 3dimensional and likeable. So idk. | |

Academic history is essentially telling the story of the past in a non dramatized way to retain as much accuracy as possible. Sure the same stories are told through more personal lenses, but they also get clouded by the viewpoints. So you can pretty much look to academic accounts of most historical events to find a narrative without meaningful character development. | |

Isn't it implied that everyone else looks down on Jamie's Kingslaying actions because he was a member of the Kingsguard, and broke his oath by killing King Aerys? Especially since until the last episode apparently very few knew about King Aerys's plans to kill citizens with wildfire once Tywin started sacking the city. So it just looked like Jamie had sided with the rebels and chose to assassinate the king. | |

Character development is basically how they're presented to the audience. Conflict is the primary driver of plot, and characters tend to change based on those conflicts, but they don't have to. "Character development" is now used colloquially to simply mean how convincingly and intriguingly the characters are characterized |

It is implied, but the implication is also confusing. We've been told over and over again how evil the Mad King was, how he burned some Starks alive and wanted to burn everybody else, and how the heroes Robert and Ned had to save the day. It's as if Jaime would be praised for killing this Scum of the Earth |

1) Tyrion's image is exaggerated. And considering our first impression of Tyrion in S01E01, that image isn't a complete falsehood. It just seems like he's been too busy being imprisoned or being Hand of the King to sink back into his habits. But its obvious from Tyrion and his father's relationship that his father throws this image in Tyrion's face at every opportuinty just because he hates him so much for killing his mother and being a dwarf. That said, season 2 did have him frequenting whorehouses and associating with undesirables like Bronn and his hill tribesmen. | |

It isn't so much that I'm comparing them, but that I'm claiming why that difference exists (which is a comparison, but whatever), and it's a difference I don't like. Half of me feels that by the time the series is over, we will see that they could have made it even better if they included fewer characters; the other half of me feels that I'm just being reactionary and that it will end up taking longer for the char dev to bloom than with other shows. |

Pretty sure I have Robb dying the same way his father did: his sense of honor being stupid and impolitic. Would be poetic if it's literally the same way: beheaded by a Lannister captor. |

The amount of characters also bugged me but I told myself to take it as a long epos and now it doesn't bother me as much. It's just the uninteresting ones that I wish could get cut, such as the cripple Stark kid. Also since his defeat I don't care for Stannis as much, not that I want him gone, just put his exploits in the freezer for a while. | |

I rewatched part of season 1 this week and I remember thinking how cute and hot Dani is, but in this pic her eyes look puffy and red, doesn't really do it for me. Would bang etc ofcourse but I prefer the way she looks in the series. | |

That's not how the Lannisters roll. Jaime offered Bolton his debt. Simple as that. | |

Good episode. I like the raw realism of just cutting the rope on the climbers and Ros' death. And the three upcoming weddings make it pretty exciting in King's Landing aswell. Having Sansa be so joyful about her supposed weddings is just so.. evil. Speaking of evil, Little Finger feels like he's up to be killed soon. His part should be sufficiently played out now. | |

I'm not sure how far they expand that idea. A fulfilled agreement technically isn't a debt, and the Lannisters seem more like a gangster family that defeats those who wrong them first and foremost. That's part of why I don't think Tyrion will ever betray his family. |

I think Littlefinger plays a necessary role. Without him, there's no true mischievous dealings from the inside. He and Varys are a specific contrast that has played since the very beginning. Littlefinger is a real player in the game of thrones, and he will try to rule over the ashes if he can. I think the way I have him dying is at the very end of the series and in a surprising way. |

GRRM is the best at names. I read an email exchange between him and co-author on a different book they did, and noticed that he told her to not worry about naming anything because he's good at it. He's especially skilled at places, but not shabby with people either |
