Game of Thrones episode 1(the north remembers) review

Hey yall its that time of year again the topic in which 80% of my traffic comes to read on and as you know that is my reviews of game of thrones. I am going to do a weekly review of each episode and a mid season review so with that out of the way lets begin.

I will start how last season ended with danyeris nude covered in dragons which was just a prelude to aimless desert wandering and starvation and not the coming of a new empire as was previously thought. She and her band of sun burnt former slaves and the guy who looks like the guy who stole wives in 80,s dramas are in a pretty bad way when we catch up with them. They really did not jump into much other then she is eyeing some dude and dragons get carried in wicker basket cages. I hope to
see more in the coming season of this story as it was my favorite one last season.

This douche... Seriously though I found myself at the end of last season hating Joffery and that has not changed but I have to say his out right abuse of everyone has given me joy where there was no joy before. I mean damn son he slaps his moms and his chick and has tounges cut out as well as attempting to drown a man in wine. The kicker for me was after finding out his birth was of ill repute and that other actual kids of the king exist had babies stabbed and flayed and kids drowned which made me actually lol at extreme response. If thsi continues I may have to hate him less.

the rest of the episode was sort of connected in regards to the war that wages between the north and the south and the players involved in trying to become king of westeros. In the north Robb gains awesome points by menencing Prince charming for the shrek movies(jaime lannister) with his giant dire wolf and by boasting(methinks to much) about his 3 victories. In the south we have the old kings brother Stannis consorting with a religious faction in regards to becoming the new king and he ends up sending a letter to the whole world outing cersei and her incest based kids in turn making neds death meaningless. In the far north our favorite mopey bastard is looking for clues with the rest of the watch and are now stsying on a compound with a dude and his 15 or so daughter wives(yeah daughter wives). all and all it was a good episode it built on all the anticapation and got things started in a way that gives my expectations a realistic outlook(cough dr who cough). By not going BIG in the premire it gives the series a chance to grow into what this season is supposed to be instead of what we assume it should be based in hype. I hope you enjoyed this weeks review feel free to comment of email me at dannycrudup@rocketmail.com.
