Which Game of Thrones Character are you?

[Kirran]

I think someone in the comments section of Quag's link mentioned it's currently the most pirated/torrent downloaded show, and by a massive margin. You'd think HBO would take notice that obviously people are not paying a subscription for one show (and I've seen studies in the past that suggest most pirating is only because people don't have easy, affordable, or any legal viewing options at all).

I guess they make enough money off it anyway?

Apparently I am Hodor, however I have no idea what that means..... frankly I think I am this one...the one on the right

Those methods are technically illegal, as HBO has not authorized anyone else to broadcast/stream the show (not unless it's a digital purchase from somewhere like Amazon or iTunes).

Also, streaming from a pirate site is like playing Virus Russian Roulette with your computer.

I got Cercei. If you'll excuse me, I need to burn my computer and the website on it--Oh crap that just proves the point.

I also got Bran Stark.

It's only true because I have a half-giant simpleton carrying me around ina special harness all the time. I don't special needs. . . It's just for fun.

Are you the monkey in my avatar? Because I've heard him say the same things.

That it is.

I am watching the first episode now.

It's off to a good start at least. I noticed right away Sean Bean (Martin Septim), and then I noticed Boromir, and then Queen Corgo, and I think I recognized a couple other faces.

For most people, I would guess that Sean Bean was probably the only immediately recognizable star in the series. Probably why HBO had his pic on all of the pre-release posters.

I didn't recognize any of the other actors until I read things like this: http://www.businessinsider.com/game...-the-clever-glamorous-queen-margaery-tyrell-1

Warning: this is funny but there are spoilers in there if you haven't watched the series yet.

IMO, he looks way too much like Boromir in this show. So much in fact, I thought the memes of Eddard were of Boromir. They should have at least gave him a different hair color, or made it short.

Could be that that was intentional too. Maybe it was a subliminal way to hook LoTR fans.

Guardian wolves messing up, mauling, and even killing the baddies is so awesome!

I think I might rewatch the first episode or two so I'll already have an idea as to who is who and whose family they all belong to and all that's going on.
I'm also really starting to like Tyrion. I especially liked his line of a brain needing books the way a sword needs a wet stone.

Tyrion must be in just about everybodies top 3 at least.

But beware. . .

Winter is coming.

I'm almost through the first season (this and one more episode to go). I'm liking it so much that I want to read the book!

 

[Shadow Wolf]

NO WAY!!! All of the copies available for transfer in the university's library system are missing!!

 

[Shadow Wolf]

One more episode of the first season left. I really do wish the story didn't feel so rushed and they let something build for awhile before resolving it. People are dying off so fast there isn't much time to get attached to them (and cheapens the effect of killing of characters, IMO), and it makes me wonder who is left for five more seasons?
