    Wait till they get longer and you start having the urges to skip over a few pages of rambling now and again.

    Who are the most favourite characters to you?

    Since I saw the tv series first then I really like Tyrion Lannister. Funny little man.. And I like Jon Snow as well.

    Episode 2.
    Nice enough. Lot of gratuitous stuff.....again.
    Minor plot changes, (as I suspected)
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Like Bron being named the commander of the Gold Cloaks. And they actually showed an Other taking away Craster's child.
    What I did not like was Tyrion's meeting with Janos Slynt. It was very short...that scene had a lot of malicious potential. Rest of Tyrion's scenes, specially the one with Varys, were good. Nice to see the little man throwing his weight around on the screen.

    Read the first four, so far ignoring the last book. It was interesting at first that he was killing off my favorite characters, but he killed all of em so meh. The world is rather engrossing and the added intrigue was cool, and the dragongirl and the creatures from beyond the wall were cool and suspensefull. But for me it just all became a matter of too many main characters dead, too much slaughter and the fourth book was just kind of dull. While its tempting to see how he resolves things I dont care :( .

    Maybe a bit spoilery as I talk about later books.

    I think everyone loves Tyrion. Jon Snow seems to divide people, not a fan myself. My favourites are probably Tywin and Arya, and Tyrion of course. Really starting to like Jaime in the later books too, Brienne as well.

    some favorites come, some favorites go. i only hope that Arya is still standing at the end.

    i liked jon snow way up to the last book... he became very annoying then, too much like his stepmom -_- how that happened, i dont know. but apparantly every stark (except maybe arya) makes really stupid descisions.
