Weiner fight!!!

Is that an episode of Game of Thrones?

No, it's a 3 part episode of South Park parodying of game of thrones called Console Wars. George RR Martin was obsessed with wieners in these episodes.

So I watched episode 1 of Game of Thrones and sweet Christmas there are some comedy character names in it. Even funnier is amongst the Bran's, Viserys and my personal favourite Khal Drogo we have the mighty...Ned. I'm sorry but I can't take that seriously - Ned is a Flanders name. Sean Bean deserves better than this! There is certainly some diddling at the end though, ha ha!

Fantasy Rating so far: It's no Hawk the Slayer.
Throne Rating: A bit Throney
Game Rating: There were no games I remember, nobody even played tennis
Ned rating: 10/10 for Ned-ness

Episode 2? Galloping Jesus, I don't know, maybe if I don't have anything less ludicrous to do.

Actually his name is Eddard but everyone pretty much called him Ned. Only a few times in the books/shows will characters refer to him by his proper name. So maybe it will help if you think of him as Eddard.

As for Khal Drogo, Kahl is his title not his name (like King Drogo). His name is Drogo.

Watch thrones till about season 4 then make up an ending. Trust me whatever you come up with it'll be better than what we got

I watched it all again a few years ago because my other half hadn't seen it. She enjoyed the later series'. It's not quite so jarring if you binge watch it in a month. There are still some very good elements to it.

Winter is coming
Oh it's OK it only lasted one night, thought it might be something to dread but no we managed to condense 8 years of build up with one episode.
Scofie I like you but YOU COULD NOT BE MORE WRONG

I need to go scream into a cushion as it makes my blood boil.

Jaime Lannister looks like he's turning a corner character wise and he's showing empathy and steps up when he thinks something is wrong

Na undo all that in about 4 mins of dialogue.

So sort of like a Choose your own adventure? I won't lie - every time there has been a casting announcement that was based upon the actor/actress being in GOT I have obviously been completely bewildered. Apart from Sean Bean. No notes needed on that guy! Vroom vroom!

Sean bean is a master of being covered in mud and saying b*****d, thankfully he manages to change every role to fit his niche

Lol, Drogo sounds like something Crocodile Dundee would call you after you stole his hat and he just threw a boomerang at you.

I'm here for that and for when he teams up with a Roger.

Episode 2 of Game of Thrones The Kingsroad

Ned's off on a walkabout with King Bob where he tells Ned that Daenerys Targaryen is marrying Khal Drogo and...christ we also have a Theon? The relatively normally named Catelyn is going to warn Ned about something to do with Bran, which I assume is just Brian spelled incorrectly? They make it to an inn and then Ned kills a dog for some reason. This better not turn out to a bloody Lord of the Rings knock off.

Fantasy Rating so far: 2 out of 5 Krull's.
Throne Rating: Mostly not
Game Rating: Less entertainment here than a Tottenham Hotspur match
Ned rating: 7/10 for Ned-ness but 8/10 for Br(i)an-ness - oh sorry I forgot to mention he was in a coma but he got better!

DAZ0273

Episode 3 Lord Snow

I have no idea what is going on. As mentioned, Catelyn is off to warn Ned but and I had to look this up, instead meets Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish. I wouldn't wanna shake hands with him. Meanwhile Br(i)an is never gonna walk again and can't remember anything! Jesus, you should have just killed the poor kid off! Oh I forgot to mention that Jon "illegitimate" Snow went to "The Wall" last episode which sounds like a Pink Floyd concert. Anyway, nobody really gives a toss who Jon is at The Wall because now it is a hive of scum & villainy or something. Fireblaster from Pixels is in this too joining Sean Bean, so maybe we'll get an Adam Sandler!

Fantasy Rating so far: 3 1/4 Never Ending Story.
Throne Rating: I don't know? Maybe.
Game Rating: 10/10 - now we are gonna get a Pixels meet up!
Ned rating: It wasn't Ned's finest as he basically finds out there is no money, a bit like a new UK government.

KGB

Bran - Short for Brandon, not Brian.
Ned - Prefers to be called Eddard, don't you forget it
Littlefinger - It's a derogatory nickname based on where he comes from (the Finger islands which makes him a minor or little lord).
The Wall - It is indeed a hive of scum and villainy. It's where prisoners are sent to serve their life sentences or where unwanted kids (bastards/extra mouths) go.

KGB

P.S. I love the Fireblaster reference. But since this is a Marvel themed website shouldn't you have called him 'Trask'?

StillMonsoon3

Yes but no! Dazfandango!

I really like these recaps and feel that you should continue to review all episodes whether you like it or not!

Can't what to see how many "Dark Crystals", "Labryinths", or "Time Bandits" fantasy ratings other episodes might get.

Yes, please more DAZ GoT commentary

Episode 4: They called this one the what?!?!?

This one has a lot to get through but here we go! So it starts off with a three eyed Raven visiting Br(i)an in a dream - some sort of dire warning or too much cheese before bedtime? Anyway, Tyrion Fingerblaster has come to visit and meets Robb...wait we have a Robb? I haven't been paying enough attention here. He gives Br(i)an a drawing of a saddle that means he can ride a horse again. Why couldn't he ride a horse on a normal saddle? It isn't like you tuck your legs up on it...the legs we must remember that were cruelly crushed back in Ep. 1, Poor Br(i)an. Over at the Pink Floyd Concert, some Fat Lad rocks up and one of the Mean boys attacks him so Jon Snow has none of that. Jon decides that he will stick up for Fat Lad, the Mean Boys threaten to slice him into bacon but then Jon sneaks into their quarters and presents them with death by wolf if they try! So they don't.

Meanwhile - some stuff happens with the Targaryen mob but we can't be bothered with that coz it is cutting into our Ned time! Ned wants Littlefinger to find some gold which sounds like Parker asking Tony Beets for some land to mine in Gold Rush. Ned and his daughters get to watch a tournament which ends in mistake to the throat by lance! Yikes! Also this Littlefinger bloke is a wrong'un. We must be getting closer to the Pixels reunion right? Fingerblaster has arrived at the same place where Catelyn is and seeing as she thinks he did for poor Br(i)an she totally calls him out...is this the end of Fingerblasting in GoT?????

Fantasy Rating so far: 6 out of 10 A Knights Tale.
Throne Rating: A fairly average throne episode
Game Rating: Pretty good until that lance death!
Ned rating: We get some solid Ned this episode but I want more!

DAZ0273

Episode 5: The Lion and the Wolf

Right, so we are still at the tournament thing with Ned & Co. and Ned thinks strange things are afoot at the Circle K. He goes to see his mate King Bob who, let me get this right, wants to fight in the tournament? Did he not see what happened last time? It turns out King Bob is too fat to fit in his armour and so he goes back to necking down some wine. The big geezer from the first fight is back again, he's called The Mountain, I think? Anyway his horse is playing up so he goes bonkers and tried to kill it and then attacks the other bloke he was going to fight but another bloke who is his brother jumps in. Enough of this, let's catch up with Fingerblaster!

Fingerblaster did NOT get hacked to death and they are all travelling now where Fingerblaster is explaining he totally didn't try and kill anybody, honest guv. Then they get attacked by what looks like a bunch of Hobo's and instead of running away, Fingerblaster saves Catelyn! We'll get that Pixels reunion yet! Oh but wait...now they have arrived somewhere else and there is some other lady accusing Fingerblaster of killing her husband. Geez this guy doesn't get a break. So they put him a deathtrap dungeon.

With all this excitement I have totally lost track of Ned, let's check back with him. Oh, dear, it isn't going well. Jaime Lannister, the dude who messed up Br(i)an is suddenly here and all of Ned's men are dead. So it's Ned vs Jaime in a sword fight but it gets ruined by a treachourous spear to the leg! Red card referee! Even Jaime has the hump so he lamps the bloke who did it and buggers off leaving Ned skewered! Look, if I don't get a Ned/Fingerblaster meet up I am going to be cranky, Game of Thrones!

Fantasy Rating so far: 9 out of 10 Ladyhawkes!
Throne Rating: Pretty throney, especially at deathtrap dungeon castle!
Game Rating: More Tournament meant a solid gaming experience
Ned rating: NED! That spear looks nasty but hopefully he'll be fine.

I'm loving these and I think you're enjoying GoT now @DAZ0273. Most fortunately, I think this is also kind of not too off-topic if you squint a bit and take the view that this is all evidence in a glorious cosmic battle.

DAZ0273

I think we are still on topic, not that there actually ever was a topic because I'm pretty certain that ThisIsClemFandango Ned Jr. is a Game of Thrones name - probably ThisIs being his first name. He will probably end up married to someone called Margydyne Blargthrapp or something and then they will all be planning to kill poor Br(i)an. Everybody seems to want to kill that kid.

DAZ0273

Hey - look what I just found on the internet! Co-incidence? I think not!

Clearly you've never ridden a horse in your life. Your legs must be able to squeeze for grip in order to not fall off the horse. If you are crippled from the waist down you could not do that any more than you could stand in place without falling.

If the only thing I have questions about is this so far then we are doing OK! Maybe we can just get Br(I)an a sled or something instead then?

No. By decree this is on topic.
