Game of Thrones or Walking Dead Sunday



I'm late but finally caught on to the game of thrones on HBO.  This show really surprised me in terms of acting and writing.

It's a good option now that the Walking Dead season 3 has ended.  I can't believe I never heard of this show.   Shows like Breaking Bad and Mad Men get my attention  because of the emmy awards, but the Game of Thrones is a sleeper hit.

I'm mainly obsessed with the Daenerys Targaryen character played played by Emily Clarke.  She portrays a princess sold to a tribe of salvage warriors in exchange for her brother being crowned king of their lost kingdom.  She starts out powerless but her magnetic personality gains her followers, and when her husband dies she manages to have subjects still loyal to her.

I must admit I am a Lannister fan.  Their family is complex but you understand why they take the actions they do.  My second favorite is Jon Snow the bastard.  He comes into a situation where is an outside that was never accepted by anyone.  When he joins the Watcher's, Game of Thrones version of the army reserves, he gains real friends and a chance to start his life over.  A series of bad choices leads him into the camp of the enemy, the Wildlings, but he has caught the eye of a young female warrior that seems like she is so to be wife.

Prince Joffery is hilarious and the Queen is on a whole other level of acting compared to the rest of the cast. You might remember her from 300 as the Queen of the Spartans.

iolence is worth the watne gets interest with each passing week.  This picture sums up the main characters, but some died in last season war so watch to see who is alive
