Just finished all 30 episodes in a few days. I have not read the books or anything but as Sonatine said it is paced out pretty good it seems.
I downloaded this after I saw a million tweets and facebook posts about an episiode late in season 3 where a lot of people seemed "shocked"
I can't see how anyone would be shocked at anything in this series. Main characters get killed often. After I saw ned Starks head get butchered nothing really surprised me after that but I guess I had fair warning of some stuff that was going to happen and others didn't.
Best guy of the series was the guy who got blown into flames by the dragons for fucking with the blonde queen. He was a true god and should be brought back to life by some witch and be given the throne.
Its the best show ever. i usuaklly dont like anything thats made up, but this shit is so deep. Its literally a show that could go on forever. The first time I watched it I couldnt get throught the 1st episode, but once you understand some of the story lines it will hook you.
You don't see how anyone could be shocked at anything? Really?
& What show are you referring to that main characters get killed often?
The wire had 1, String. Sopranos 0, until the last season w/Christopher, (they had the yearly villain/rat to kill, no one that was both important AND on more than 1 season,) And of course Jimmy, ....."to the lost".
No show goes through them like this one. Ned's death just made it clear no one was safe, didn't take the surprise of the other deaths away.
Takeshi Kitano once said in an interview that his favorite moment from any of his movies was the shoot out in the elevator towards the end of Sonatine.
His explanation was, "In nature, violence is sudden and unexpected."
Just saying, the Ned scene in GoT is in good company, film theory wise.

"America is not so much a nightmare as a non-dream. The American non-dream is precisely a move to wipe the dream out of existence. The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set up by the non-dreamers." -- William S. Burroughs
