The Screenshot Topic Returns

WIP screenshot of a native village surrounded by tall cliffs. :)


The bridge doesn't look right. The village is nice, though.

I thought this topic was also about television.

I find that Carrie from Homeland makes a good female protagonist. Of course, it doesn't hurt that she's played by Claire Danes.

Game of Thrones

author=Yellow Magic
Watched the first two seasons over the summer. While it isn't the most amazing show it does have a few ridiculously amazing characters, such as Tyrion Lannister and Jon Snow. Bring on season 3...

A friend of mine took a picture with the actor playing Robb Stark the other day. Wish I'd been there. D:


Wish I'd been there, too.

You're kind of tricked into thinking Eddard is the main character, especially in the TV series. He isn't - there isn't a main character anywhere in the series. There's primary characters, but there's no one main character that the story's about... well, there is, but you don't know (s)he is because they keep referring to him/her in the veiled prophecy of Azor Ahai.

That is a good point, which I think adds heavily to the brilliance of the series. The characters are so well-read, multi-dimensional, and interesting that there is no need for a main character. Each person serves a purpose within the series, and each is equally important.

Peter Dinklage is definitely one of my favorite actors. I thoroughly enjoy the scenes where he's slapping the boy-king around.


Oh, lord yes. He has done a fantastic job with his character (though I have come to realize after watching a few films that he is simply a great actor).

I'm also rooting for Arya Stark. Something tells me that she is going to end up kicking some MAJOR arsebutt. The Queen too. She's a lucid vagina (for lack of a better label), and the fact that I hate her makes me love her more. And don't let me get started on Snow... *deep sigh*

The more things I hear about GoT books, the more I desire to read them. I just feel bad when I end up "watching a book" (be it a movie, show) before reading it.


I'm rooting for Robb Stark. I've not read the books so I don't know what happens or how it ends, but I really hope he does become King in the North.

I've been through all five books (chomping eagerly at the bit for the sixth) and I've been through the show several times (again, chomping eagerly at the bit for the third season). The entirety of the world is one of the best built up and developed fantasy worlds I've ever seen - far better than some other book series I've read that go 12+ novels long (Wheel of Time, Sword of Truth, I'm looking in your direction), and the television series is helping greatly in expanding it further.

Peter Dinklage is a boss, by the way.

Game of Thrones

I've recently started watching Game of Thrones on HBO, and in my opinion, it has to be one of the best shows ever put on TV. I know HBO has had a lot of good shows (and still do), but does this blow away all of the rest or what? George j.R.R. Tolkien Martin is a genius and I'm glad he works with developing the show.

Have any of you read the books? Do any of you watch the show?
