    As I said main characters, Charles Dance and Sean Bean were very good I agree. Yes it a huge leap in TV with the budget and CGI and yes it's agreat programme, ground breaking even but it has got a bit lost as the plot flicks around the main story. TWD similar with the story as it has no clear direction at times at all other than survive.

    Both programmes would have been so much better if there was a planned ending to move toward from the start.

    The zombies could be werewolves or killer butterflies it doesn't matter it's the plight of the character and how people change and adapt that drives the show, characters like Rick and Carol who have changed so much from their first introduction. Ricks "what?" moments now crack me up.

    In effect the main plot has always been the dead rise and kill the living.

    the main sub plot is the living are never prepared as theres a war on... there are too many wars though.. the entire denerys story could be condensed to simply wandering about like moses collecting troops.

    The starks v the lannisters in effect is what the rest boils down to. yes stannis and his gay brother are in there but they are in effect dead ends to fill space and build others up. in season 3 it was much simpler as jamie v robb, lannister v stark... since then its fragmented into what is deliberately weak as **** houses with no clear direction.

    this is of course deliberate for the main plot that the living are going to be over run by the dead..... in fact while the dead are cool and all that they could be completely unnecessary to the show and the pure fight for the crown could have been enough to make a great show.

    Better Call it off more like.

    :p
    Haven't seen it, but will get round to it, heard its good.

    Dinklage is average in Game of Thrones. His accent is off. He has had a couple of stand out performances like his trial etc, but nothing earth shattering imo.
    Bean was excellent as Eddard and Addy was amazing as Robert, my favourite scene in the whole show is still this one:

    His accent is "American trying to sound British".
    Just stands out from everyone else.

    I have raged quite enough about that.
    David Chase copped out because he was a pussy, simple as.
    Tarnished an otherwise almost unblemished record in his writing.

    well... not really. he was wooden

    how hard is it to play a drunk?

    ned stark was not a bad role for bean given he was a northern oaf playing a northern oaf uncomfortable in the southern ponces court... overall it worked but he's not great

    robert should have been Brian blessed <whistle> IDEAL actor for the role.

    Sean Bean is a complete no-mark tool of a creature.

    And you haven't even scratched the surface with the quality performances put in by the actors and actresses yet. Alfie Allen has been a superb Reek/Theon, Iwan Rheon will go down as one of the most remembered villains in TV history & even smaller characters like Oberyn Martell were made memorable because GoT have managed to pick the perfect people for the majority of roles.
