Finally caught up with Game of Thrones
After years of neglect I finally binge-watched all four seasons, and I gotta say, I really love it.
But of course, now that I'm done and have to wait like the rest of the world, what should I watch next?
Also, who were your liked/disliked characters on the show? I'd love to know.

I've been meaning to, but I never got around to it.
You wouldn't happening to know any good...sites to watch it on do you?[/quote]

[quote=TheDudeAbides]Thanks for that. Something I had never considered. I wasn't made at him for "gloating" but I was heartbroken at the outcome. This really puts it in perspective though. Did you read the books to get this conclusion? Or do you only watch the show?[/quote]
Yeah np, his intensions are well known in the books. He even tries to convince tyrion to join his side and in doing so he revealed his plan to him. In the books this conversation happened from tyrions perspective so you got a good idea of what the vipers intentions were..... but things ended up not going as planned and he tragically lost his life.
I read the books twice. Everything is so shocking, interesting and entertaining the first time u read them but during the second read you thoroughly understand everything a thousand times better. Truly a great read, a series so full of depth both in characters, history as well as metophorically speaking. The author manages to create an entirely new world which is not only believable but captivating as well.
Tyrion is my absolute favorite especially this season with what happened Sansa is starting to stand out to me since her character has become something else from what we're used to seeing; You should watch Breaking Bad if you haven't, The Walking Dead, House of Cards, Suits
I still need to watch season 4

I've actually been really, really interested in Hannibal, but being only two seasons, I want to wait a few years til there's more to watch.[/quote]
You could read the books too...that's what I did. Don't read the third book though, or at least don't read the ending.
Lol but anyway the great thing about Hannibal is that both seasons feel like they could be standalone but they also don't feel forced together when you watch them as a series. I think the end of s2 is enough that you're not particularly [i]dying[/i] for the next season, but the show is so good you want another season anyhow.

He was not gloating. It was important that he got a confession from Ser Gregor Clegane and thats exactly what he was going for. If he was to get the mountain to confess right there in open court and reveal to all of Kings Landing that Tywin Lannister really did order the death of Prince Rhaegar Targaryens familys death, it would have lead to an uproar and created further instability with the throne. Thus, when he did finally decide to bring the dornish army to the steps of the capital, he would have the support of most of the kingdom and all the Targaryen loyalists. He got killed in the process. Unfortunately, many misguided fans see this as arrogance but it was simply an operation gone terribly wrong.[/quote]

[quote=Icephoenix21]Margaery Tyrell/Natalie Dormer is my absolute favorite.
She's so nice yet so manipulative.
I used to like Dany but she got stupid this past season.[/quote]
I dont like her. Shes too much of a weak woman. I love Cersei Lannister the most as far as female characters go, Aryas a close second though. Cersei is just so fierce and entertaining, a true lioness.
[quote=ZombieOverlord]It feels like Daenerys is still the same naive girl from the beginning. She's learned a lot, overcome a lot, but is still very naive. She's beginning to learn that not everything is simple, black and white, like how not all slavers are inherently bad and not all slaves want freedom.
It will probably be a long time before she wises up completely.

Really cant blame her. She's trying to rule with a firm hand as well as compassionately. Its hard to balance both. Its easier to just be evil. As naive as she might appear, id rather be under her rule than anyone else because unlike the others fighting for the throne, at least she truly loves her people. Besides, she's pretty wise and makes great decisions every now and then.

Oberyn "the red viper" Martell was a true hero who only wanted justice for his sister whom he loved dearly... R.I.P ...may the sand snakes avenge their father.
Anyway, my fave character by a long shot is and always will be Ser Jaime Lannister. He's actually probably my fave fictional character ever, I have a man crush on him.
Ps. If u love the show, read the books. The show is pretty much just a sorry watered down version of the real story.

I haven't watched GoT or anything that's actually relevant right now but I was into Hannibal earlier this year
Currently waiting on season 3...
House of Cards
[quote=CygnusBabii]Watch the Legend of Korra. The series finale (after 4 seasons ) will premiere a little before Christmas. Until then, there is an episode every Friday on Nick.com or wherever people host them.[/quote]
I've been following it ever since it was released
@mmorpg I'm still a weeb as ever, but this show tickled my taste for medieval RPG settings.
Danerys stormborn of house targaryan. The first of her name. The unburnt. Queen of meerren. And of andales and of the first men. Kaleses of the great grass seas. Breaker of chains and mother of dragons.

I still need to watch it. People recommend it to me, but I'm too much of a weeb to care about western TV shows.
