Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire) The Fantasy Thread

So I just read the chapter of a certain prominent character's wedding. I saw it coming a mile away but still, wow.

I'd say spoiler the mention of who's wedding it is, just in case people know something will go down in it before they see or read it.

Now you know what the big deal about the Red Wedding is.

Done. Yes, I know there's at least three possible ones that could refer to but out of the two I've encountered so far that one had the highest Holy Shit quotient.

I will never forget reading it, and I am sure you won't either. I think the reason it was so shocking (at least for me) was because of how vulnerable they were, they were metaphorically naked, butchered like dogs.

I had to do that book in Uni, and its written by a guy from where I live, bad bad memories..

Joffrey himself though is absolute quality. I thought Sean Bean would be the best character actor as Ned for obvious reasons, but the lad who plays Joffrey is probably the best of the lot. Also, Margaery. Kudos to the lucky bastard.

He is supposed to be really nice in real life as well, I bumped into him at Electric Picnic but just said hi(and Littlefinger who was with a small girl I can only presume was his daughter, I hugged him!), a mate of mine studied philosophy or theology in the same course as him in Trinity college, which means the actor is in his early twenties now, weird.

Who on earth is this Geoffrey you speak of? The king of Westeros' lowborn counterpart?

you guys mock me

Joffrey....in my opinion is nothing but a little bitch in the book and even worse in the show...although i am loving the manipulation of him by the Tyrell's....and anything that causes Cersi pain brings a smile to my face

so i'm about a third into the third book on my re-read of the series and i must say that this time i'm able to really concentrate on just how good of a writer Martin really is
