Which one? The RPG or the RTS? I downloaded the RTS to give it a shot but never installed it. Too busy, what with Skyrim and Skyward Sword and FFXIII-2 and Diablo III and Guild Wars 2.

He's still a villain. Just not as much as (SPOILER)Ramsay Snow/Bolton.

I disagree. (SPOILER)His internal monologue indicates that he is repentant for most of his most horrible actions and his actions indicate he has quite a lot of concern for others. The old Theon would never have rescued Jeyne from Ramsay at great personal risk. I'm pretty sure Martin threw that in there, amongst other reasons, to show us that Theon is a changed man.

not really a spoilerHe's no Joffrey, but there's some tit you can't undo.

I changed your spoiler tag to cover more of your post because, even though it's minor, (SPOILER)Theon being remorseful and changing hasn't happened in the show yet.

Now that I'm home and not posting from work on my phone, yes I would still hate both their actions just as much as I hate them now.

I don't understand what's so hard to believe that I focus on actions of a character instead of gender? I don't separate people into categories. I think of people as one whole unit. They aren't male or female, they are people. And people are smurfing idiots.

But this whole sexism nonsense isn't suited for this thread. Make an EoEO thread if you want to go on about it. This thread is about GoT and the show and occasionally the books. And maybe the game if you got it (I hear it's really super glitchy with gameplay and graphics. But the story is supposed to be great, slow at the beginning and then bam awesome.) And despite how many times I tried to steer it back to being about the characters and their actions it keeps getting spread to this sexism thing. So enough, take it to an EoEO thread. Let's get back to talking about how amazing Jaqen is.

You're taking commentary on society waaay too personal. Keep the gifs coming though.

**Rantz** · 05-25-2012, 11:35 AM

I'd do Jaqen. And I'm really excited for the next episode.

I hope this episode sees Melisandre casting a spell on Stannis so that he grows to the size of the Stay Puft man, and then he stomps King's Landing. Naked.

(SPOILER)Right, I wouldn't consider him a hero for exactly that reason. He's an anti-hero, like Jaime and several other characters.

@spoiler thing, makes sense, I probably would've even spoilered more of your previous post I responded to, since it implies content in my post that is kind of spoilerish, but whatever

ditto that.

(SPOILER) I hope he gets more time in the show than he does in the books

I think at times Martin's characters move beyond even the anti-hero tag. We can't label some characters at all because we can't tell what their true motivations are, and I think that's because the characters themselves don't always fully understand what's motivating them. What's really interesting to follow is how different characters affect each other. Jaime and Arya are notable for this. Their characters make little shifts each time they get tangled up with someone new. (SPOILER)Is it me or is it the one-dimensional characters that tend to get themselves killed? Joffrey--100% douche=dead, Ned--100% honorable=dead, etc.

I expect this next episode to be really awesome. The last couple have felt a bit flat, which is understandable of course because of the way the storylines are moving, but I'm ready for some more big moments.

A woman asks, and a woman shall receive.

I find this guy to be like the hottest assassin ever and I'm sad there isn't the bath scene with him or something. I'm sure it's because they knew ovaries eveyrwhere would explode.
