{4/15/2012} In which Game of Thrones..
After much talk about the series and my obsession with it, I've fully introduced the wonderfully wicked world of Game Of Thrones to my boyfriend. As we were perusing around Best Buy for new game titles, he decided that he wanted to buy the first season box set of the series, with my full consent. It hadn't even been a day and he has near fully caught up, and is now gearing up to start the second season. After re-watching the entire first season with him, I've decided that Game of Thrones is possibly one of the best filmed television series at the current moment. I didn't take the time to notice how detailed they were in the smallest of things...dress, banners, little gazes, placement of certain peoples...it makes perfect sense and tells parts of the story where the dialogue could possibly fall short in.
[Spoiler for those who haven't seen]
For example, when Tywin and Jamie Lannister are discussing the possibilities of an imminent war, and all throughout their conversation, Tywin is gutting and skinning a stag, the Baratheon's crest, symbolizing the desire of death for the current king Robbert.
And the fact that all Starks wear furs of their crest, which symbolizes the pride and the loyalty that the animal represents for their family; and the Lannister's all wear fox furs, further insinuating their deceitful and sly nature. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it, who knows.
All I DO know, though, is that I can't wait to re-watch the episodes of season two ASAP so I can squee all over myself. Have a party by myself in the dark while I cry tears of love for Jon Snow and Tyrion.
Also, I noticed that there were tons of scenes that would involved Jon Snow and then instantly cut to Daenerys...SHIP?
