Blog 6: Game of Thrones "The Kingsroad"

When talking to his brother at breakfast Tyrion Lannister says that he wants Bran Stark to wake up so that they can hear what he has to say, but this would expose his sibling’s secret. Whose side is Tyrion on?

                I think Tyrion Lannister is by far the most interesting character in the show, because you never really know what he is up to or whose side he is going to be on. From watching the entire series so far I can only guess that he is on his own side. Most everything he does is either in his own self-interest or because he finds it morally right to do. In this particular episode I think he wants Bran to live, not because he wants his siblings exposed, but because he thinks it was wrong to try and kill the boy. Tyrion Lanister is my favorite character and someone I could continue to write about.

During the scene when Arya Stark was pretend sword fighting the Butcher’s Boy, Prince Joffrey came up and stopped them, then cut the boy’s face with his real sword. Why did he feel the need to do this?

                I think that Joffrey has to be a sociopath. This kid is so evil for no reason other than his own pleasure. He finds joy in his power that he can abuse and frequently does abuse it. This character manages to make me hate him and he is just a boy. Most times you see a kid do something bad you can rationalize that they just don’t know any better, but this kid knows what he is doing and loves it. Its horrible to say, but I can’t wait for this character to be killed off.
