galatheaYou know, I do watch shows other than Supernatural - way too many of them, actually - and Game of Thrones is one of them. I fell fast and hard for the show - basically within the span of the opening teaser - and it has such a gorgeous cinematography, I really wanted to make some icons. In the end I made more character icons than landscape ones though. I didn't find a source for screencaps yet, so I had to make due with the few images I was able to find on the internet. Anyway, if you're not watching this show, I can highly recommend it. It's a fascinating story about political machinations and intrigue in a medieval-like world with interesting fantasy elements thrown in for good measure. The acting is outstanding, the world building is careful and intricate and the characters have depth right from the start. The show really takes its time to highlight the characters and the world they live in, and I appreciate the slow pacing. So far I didn't really find a single thing to complain about the show. It's the highlight of my Mondays! ♥

Date: 2011-05-07 08:54 pm (UTC)I've watched Legend of the Seeker, well, the first season anyway. The fact that I never really found the motivation to watch S2 says it all, really. I enjoyed the show to an extent, but overall it was too cheesy and too 'showy' for my tastes. I never really got invested in the characters, plus I am sick and tired of the overused 'doomed couple' trope.

Date: 2011-05-30 02:45 pm (UTC)I liked first episodes, but I thought that it wasn't THAT awesome. Still it kept me interested.... After 5th and 6th episode, I'm so hooked, I can't wait to watch ep 7. I guess my fave character is Jon Snow, but maybe it's also because I'm desperate to see what happens next with the Wall and While walkers, LOL. All in all, the show is very exciting!

Date: 2011-05-30 03:01 pm (UTC)And YAY for converting you to GoT! It's an amazing show, no? I was head over heels after the Pilot already, but I can understand that other people might need a couple of episodes to get into it. It's just a lot to take in at the beginning - so many characters and storylines - and the first couple of episodes are purely exposition, which is very much needed. But these past 2-3 episodes the show gained momentum and it's wonderful. ♥ I think my favourite characters are Arya, Ned and Jon Snow. I, too, love the Wall location best and I cannot wait to see where they take the storyline. *g*

Date: 2011-05-30 03:31 pm (UTC)Yep, I understood why first eps were slower,... first ep LOL - i didnt know who is who. But then I fell for the show, too. Oh yea, little Arya is so great,too. I love her attitude and style, Lol. She's gonna save them all one day *gg* Ned is also great -so wise and honourable. He'd make an awesome king. And Jon - such a symphatetic bastard haha.... yup, the Wall location and storyline has a lot of potential, ... it's also kind of mysterious and scary. I like that a lot :)

Date: 2011-05-30 05:35 pm (UTC)Yes, the White Walkers are frightening and I am looking forward to the exploration of the lands behind the Wall. I also hope that Daenerys dragon eggs will wake up and that we might see dragons on the show. That would make my love for the show complete! *g*

Date: 2011-05-30 05:56 pm (UTC)Yep, absolutely. It's gonna be epic... the land behind the Wall souns really exciting! :) Oh yea, the eggs. I hope so.... since the first moment, i was like, damn i hope that those eggs are gonna come to life... that'd be amazing and it'd make GoT even better. Have you considered making reviews for GoT? I'd be curious about your thoughts on the development.

Date: 2011-05-30 06:31 pm (UTC)Have you considered making reviews for GoT?
You know, I have. I even thought about doing fanart for the show. However, I barely find the time to keep up with my Supernatural reviews - let alone do SPN fanart - and I can't add another show for time reasons alone. Maybe once S1 is over I'll gather a couple of thoughts on the show and post a review for S1, but don't count on it. My list of things to do for SPN is quite long as you might have seen from my hiatus poll. If S6 had been the last SPN season, I would have switched to GoT reviews, but with S7 on the horizon I don't see that happening. /sigh I wished I had more time at my hands. :)

no subject
Date: 2011-05-30 08:58 pm (UTC)I just saw the episode! OMG I did not see that coming. *is afraid for Ned* Man, the show has an immense forward movement at the moment. I love how everything they built up over the first couple of episodes comes to fruition now. Oh god, I can't wait a whole damn week to know how this ends. *bites nails*

Date: 2011-06-02 03:02 pm (UTC)I KNOW! OMG! I cannot believe it.... I had a bad feeling about all of that during whole epiode, but I thought maybe they would really help Ned. Damn bastards. This show really knows how to keep me interested in. I'm SO nervous even when it's been few day since I saw the episode. Poor Ned. And promo for next week does look very intense and epic too :O

Date: 2011-06-06 08:55 pm (UTC)The episode was epic. ♥ I loved the juxtaposition of Rob granting mercy to the Lannister spy while Jeoffrey refused to show mercy for Ned. I was also impressed by Sansa's plead for Ned. I didn't expect her to stand up for her father.
And finally we learn more about the White Walkers! I am so excited about that. The situation seems impossibly tense - with the Lannisters and the Starks at war, the Dothraki moving forward to fight a war against the Lannisters and the White Walkers threatening the kingdom from beyond the wall. There will be a bloodbath, surely!

Date: 2011-06-11 09:22 am (UTC)Yup, another amazing epic episode. :) I wonder if there's ever gonna be some disappointing epi, but so far it seems impossible and I enjoy every second of it. Poor Ned, but it seems there's still hope for him. I hate Lannisters, too, but he should re-think whole situation and bow before Jofrey. He can plot and be all righteous once he's free man. Tho, i understand it's a bad situation. Kudos to Sansa for trying to convince Lannisters that her dad was innocent. I also thought she wouldn't be on her dad's side since she's all crazy about Joffrey.
I love Dany and Drogo. They are so great and if they want to kill Lannisters - well, alright :DD I wish dragon eggs would crack already. Having one little dragon in your army would surely help. lol
I was happy to see more from the Wall and Jon Snow. Oh and his white wolf. Whole White Walkers story is too good. When the woman from behind the Wall told Bran that his unce should have gone with his army to the north instead of the South, I thought wow, this is gonna be epic. Also "clumsy boy" saying that he hopes the Wall is tall enough. Haha... From all this talk, it sounds like winter is really bad&scary time of the year. I agree about bloodbath - it can't be any other way. :O

Date: 2011-06-11 11:07 am (UTC)I'm not sure I felt like this with any other show before. It's too intense and exciting.
ROFL well, I felt like this with some shows, there is some amazing TV out there. Supernatural will probably always be my favourite show and god knows that there will never be characters I love more than Sam and Dean, but Game Of Thrones is certainly the first show since SPN that created this level of excitement in me. I am devastated that there will only be 2 more episodes and then we'll likely have to wait almost a year before the show continues. I don't know how to survive that - well, apart from rewatching S1 over and over again. *lol*

Date: 2011-06-11 11:19 am (UTC)Anyway, I didn't mean that I would love GoT more than SPN. I love SPN and also TVD and TB... I only meant the fact that in a minute GoT is over, I'm feeling so shocked and pleased and want to watch another ep right away. As much as I love my other fave shows, I have to say I never had to fight this urge/need to watch more of it :D It never (except of course for some cliffhanger episodes) was like OMG nooooo, I need to see what happens next NOW :D If you know what I mean... It's probably that with GoT you dont know who is safe and who isn't, what's gonna happen next etc.... They're doing great job. As for characters, I heart Sammy and Dean and I also think there's not ever gonna be any other character I'd treasure more than Winchesters.

Date: 2011-06-14 08:31 am (UTC)The last episode ripped my heart out. I cried like a baby when Ned died. It's amazing how GoT managed to make me love his character in the span of only 9 episodes. And the most devastating thing is that he sacrificed his honor to live for his family - and it was all futile. Now he is not only dead but his memory is soiled as well. I think that his death will have far-reaching consequences for the Starks as well as the Lannisters. I am sure that in the end his decision to execute Ned will be Jeoffrey's downfall. He should have listened to his mother.
Only one episode to go. I am anxious to see how it all ends.

Date: 2011-06-14 02:57 pm (UTC)Oh I know :( The last man of honor died. It's so sad. I wish one of Lannisters would die,too -at least one. It's not fair. Joeffrey needs to pay for this. That's exactly what I hated,too - Ned confessed like he was a traitor and he wasnt! He had every right to be against Joeffrey because it was Queen's bussiness with Jamie and Joffrey has no right to be the King. Awww. Anyways I didn't expect it. Until last second I was hoping someone would stop them. :( here nice tribute to Ned http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1iYEZcdLoM&hd=1 (be sure to have your sound turned up)
Yes. It's horrible that we only have one episode left. Too bad. I'm sure it will not end up nicely.
