Icons | Game Of Thrones

You 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! ♥

Oh I know what ya mean and you're right, but that's not exactly what I meant - when I said stand-alone I meant episodes where wasn't any "to be continued" cliffhanger moment. ;) Of course there were some very very shocking endings,too but with GoT, it's like permanent feeling when I find myself staring at the screen with eyes on teh top of my head, ROFL. At the end of the ep I usually feel like screaming..... GOD!!! Wait til you see the last ep! Anyways, of course I'm not comparing GoT to SPN. SPN is dearest to my heart/

Ah, you mean that GoT is told like a novel rather than in an episodic structure. ;)

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.

yup, that's what i meant :)

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.

Jeoffrey will get what's coming to him, I have no doubt. I rarely hate characters, but I want Jeoffrey to die a slow and painful death. LOL
