Game of thrones is really a great serie with alot of parallels to BM.
A great script and some great actors(i am personally quite fond of the Lanister dwarf)
Aside from the overall parallels (like the plots, the drama, the wars, the daimons and undead) there are also some really funny exact parallels i noticed with my own characters.
I find it so funny to see the fat king character (that dies from the boar hunt) laughs and looks exactly like my character Abbot.
There is also a courtesan named Shae in the serie who looks and is exactly how i imagined Shae in the first place.(yeah i wanted to play a noble whore)
If Shae wouldn't have been so spoiled by the ibladeshian lords without having to do much for it(200/300+ shares
) in her stay there she'd probably still be a courtesan and just trick every man into her little plots. to a certain extend she still does..
Even her accent fits, although hers is more russian (as well as her typical facial features)my family presents one with balkan like ethnicity, there all black of hair with eastern names mostly inspired on Vlad Tepes.
The Shae of GoT will probably get more interesting in season 2.
I obviously really like her.
The plot twists are great and ruthless, which rarley happens in big hollywood movies or series. your favorite character just simply dies out of the blue.
the middle ages where exactly like that, life was short and intense.
I think Tom said this before, it's exactly why it's so darn good.
