I liked the article alot and I’m excited for the sequels, but I don’t agree with the assertion that everyone through the film would flop except for a select few.

As soon as the first teaser trailers emerged, I thought the general consensus was that the film was due to be a smash hit.

I have done exactly the same, it’s great to be a part of the ‘master-race-of-book-readers’

I would have loved him to have made it across the Narrow Sea just to see the carnage of his Dothraki horde rampaging across the Seven Kingdoms. Imagine a Jamie Lannister-Drogo fight!

This article and the film itself definitely gives us a lot of food for thought about these issues. A very interesting read!

He sustains himself on a diet of his fan’s tears and misery, I’m certain of it.

You’re not alone there!

See, I don’t really understand that feeling. Characters like Littlefinger, the Hound and Tywin all have redeeming qualities, or you can at least appreciate where their immoral actions come from. With Joffrey, it appears to be for the sake of spite and malice, making me him utterly unlovable, at least for myself.

Got to say I disagree with you on a lot of points. Robert Baratheon took the throne by conquest when he was not the legitimate next in line to the throne yet he succeeded. Why should Renly automatically fail just because of this?

As for Robb, the only real mistake he made was breaking his vow to marry a Frey, but I don’t think he could be reasonably expect to anticipate the depth of Walder Frey’s revenge. As for beheading the Karstark, if he did not, he put both Arya and Sansa’s life’s at the risk of a retribution by the Lannisters. More a victim of outside forces than his own stupidity, i would say.
