I'm not too big on Circei in the show, they made her significantly less nasty then the show. Also made Sansa significantly less HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE too. I liked Dany just because of the ammount of change her character goes through though she doesn't translate too well from the book > show because there was alot of internal stuff with her... Didn't like that they turned her and drogo's first night into her basicly getting raped though >.>
I like that Cercei's demeanor counters Dany's. The whole "woman finds her voice" thing is so cliche to me. I enjoy it more when people find folly in their own life choices, and the realization and reaction at that turning point.
I can see parallels in Arya and Sally Draper from 'Mad Men'. I like when the children are the ones end up being the voice of reason in their own juvenile way. I cried when Arya watched her dad's head being lobbed off. :( Especially, when it seemed like her dad was the only one who fully understood her.
Sansa...I just don't like her. She's a twit, but I guess I need to get caught up before I say anything. Seems like she's going to go Dany's direction. I wish they didn't kill of Drogo.
/still needs to read the books
