The Best Characters



I made a poster with my two favorite characters. I put one quote each that describes their survival in the show. Tyrion stayed alive because of his knowledge. He was very smart and loved to drink. Ser Jorah, even though he ended up dying, stayed alive for as long as he did because of his love and devotion to Khaleesi. He would do anything (even die) for his love.

Khal Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen- Love Story or Stockholm Syndrome?

Image
Let me preface this with, I love both Khal Drogo and Daenerys as characters. I think they both have unique personalities and of all the plot lines you have to keep straight during the first season, theirs is the easiest and most entertaining (it may also help that Jason Momoa is pretty easy on the eyes).  So now that I have shown you a lovely photo of Jason Momoa killing it as Khal Drogo- lets get to the part you may not like. He’s trash for the first part of season one. I know I know I just told you that I love his charcter but you can blame the adaption from book to the small screen for this statement. Khal Drogo bought Daenerys…he bought her. I think its hard to come back from that but arranged marriages still happen in todays time so while that part is horrible, I can kinda see it being reddemable based solely on the fact that it was the “norm” of society. The rape scene in the show though…trash. I just want to know how many women were helping make the adaption and were like ‘y...

Ned Stark: The Honorable Fool, Lawful Stupid

Image
I am new to Game of Thrones . When I started reading the first book and saw the opening of the show, I love, loved the first words spoken by that man, “The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword.” So heroic! I wondered who the dude wearing fur with the heavy beard was. I found out who he was. It was Ned Stark. Lord of Winterfell. Warden of the North. A great Father. A loving husband. A justifiable and honorable man. Men like him are rare. He meets all the Prince characteristics that Disney displays in their movies. Trust me. I know. I grew up with Disney movies. That strong opening line made me immediately think and feel, “Oh yea, there’s a hero.” Ned Stark is a rustic, chivalrous man, a true knight in shining armor. In the first episode, it is clear that he has a happy life with his family. In the book, Game of Thrones and Philosophy, Irwin and Jacoby describe Ned’s life in the North: “Remaining steadfast in his commitment to honor and virtue…he spent decades in a lo...

Was Ned honorable or just a fool playing the wrong game?

               Ned Stark. Ned Stark was the great man who ran the north and ran Winterfell. Ned Start was the great man who was personally asked by the king to be the hand of the king, to be his right-hand man. But was Ned really that great? Did he really understand the chess match that is King’s Landing, that is the Iron Throne and all its components?             Ned ran Winterfell the way he knew best so of course he understood everything that was going on, how everything was supposed to work, etc. Here he was playing checkers with everyone else playing checkers as well. Everything was ran how a simple man, much like Ned was, knew how to run things. Not to mention, Ned had control of the people and what they did. This is very important to remember.  Not only was this apparent in Ned, it was translated right on down to his kids as well, especially Sansa. She saw how her mom and...
