I do like Michelle Fairley, especially when paired up with Sean Bean. She's such a believable character and they make you believe in their relationship, warts and all, even though they spend so much of the season apart.

Ned and Robert seem to be such a good pair in this as well.

Yes, Robert is well-matched with Ned. You can believe that they fought together as younger men and formed a deep bond that time is now revealing to be strained.

That scene where they "remember days long past" is one of the best scenes.

I've always loved Catelyn, but ITA about Michelle Fairley. She embodies the character beautifully.

What kind of lj account do you have? Because I have no problem with ads, but maybe it's because I have a permanent account?

I have a paid account still, can't abide the adverts. What happens is that sometimes when I post a comment it takes me to Home page as if I wasn't logged in. Odd.

LJ is extra-clunky at the moment because there's yet another DDoS attack going on.

As for Dany/Drogo, I managed better with them as a couple the second time I watched season 1, but I could never 'ship them. I guess the most I could say is that I understood the relationship. Drogo had to die, though, for Dany to become the person she becomes.

I love Catelyn. :Wah!:

Oh, thanks for the info.

LJ has really grown on the Russian side - there are some good comms. I guess Russian government is still trying to cause trouble?

I still can't understand how you can "learn to love" someone after months of rape-like sex. I would have hated him FOR LIFE.

Long time no see! :D I must leave a comment, Game of Thrones is such an addiction to me, I cannot express my thoughts ;) especially on such a thing like the fandom feelings towards Catelyn. I might be the last one on earth, but no, I cannot like her. I've always been by Jon Snow's side, and even though how she acted towards him can be understood, I cannot sympathize with her. Not at all. IMO, she's always been selfish --leaving Bran by himself (almost), creeping out Robb whenever she could like she was jealous (never liked their relationship, always thought it was not...right?), almost forgetting the girls. No milady, you cannot fail with 4 kids and just take care of your favorite one (even if he's my favorite one as well ( ... )

I think Catelyn is one of those characters you feel strongly about liking or disliking. I spent years disliking her chanter, but now I am all "Oh. I see things soooo differently".

Jorah is a cutie.
