Icons | Game Of Thrones

[galathea]

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! ♥

I'll probably read the books once the show is over. I've heard a lot of praise about the books and although I am not an avid fantasy reader, my interest is peaked.

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*

That's what I was thinking.... it's horrible that HBO tv shows has only couple of episodes each season :(

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.

ROFL After 6 seasons of SPN my desperate need for the next episode of the show isn't quite as urgent as it used to - especially since I need the week in between episodes to write my reviews - but I had the same nervous anxiousness to know what comes next in SPN as I have with GoT. Just GoT is new, it's the exciting feeling of being newly in love, while with SPN it's a settled long-term relationship. *g*

Hmmm.... I don't know... of course, I was looking forward to new ep of SPN, but I have to say quite a lot of them were alone-standing episodes with story that was finished at the end of the ep. If I dont count eps where boys were dying etc, I have to say I'm much more nervous and excited with GoT. I mean, excited in a shocked way XDD And now i dont make any sense at all :D

Well, I don't see it like that at all. There are not many SPN episodes that were true stand-alones. Almost every episode either moved the mytharc along or the development of the characters. What people call stand-alones are usually necessary episodes that deepen the characterisation and move Sam and Dean forward, either individually or as brothers, and while they may have monster-of-the-week plots that are finished at the end of the episode, they tell a continuous story about the characters. Just look at S1, for example - the season a lot of people consider to have almost no arc and a mostly stand-alone structure. Sam and Dean go from estranged to tentative reconnection to working through old resentments to understanding each other's perspectives to establishing a new, improved bond. All that happens in little steps throughout the so-called stand-alones, in a consistent and continuous development - and that's true for every season, so I can never see SPN as a true stand-alone format. :)

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/

[galathea-snb.livejournal.com]

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.

[helpspb.livejournal.com]

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
