Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.
A few quick ground rules:

I'd love to have a few swings at the little one who sucks the penis myself. Man I hate that character....

I would chain both Sansa and him to the same cinder block and push them into the water.

That kid in the show somehow seems more like a 'cool' snob. Almost like a rich jock in HS. The Joffrey I get from the books is more of mean, bumbling shithead. There's nothing detached or callous about his snobbery like there is in the show - he's just a mean bully of a kid that hides behind his rank. I honestly think the TV show gives him too much credit.

She's a snob, but she's been raised that way. I don't believe she's mean spirited or means ill, she just thinks the way she acts is the way a 'proper lady' should behave. I don't think she understood the gravity of the situation with Aria/Joffrey situation and is otherwise just something of a immature child that's trying to be what her mother and teacher expects her to be. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to hate her, but to this point I just can't.

On the show, the queen clearly knew she was just outside the room waiting to be called in. I have to assume she planted the forgot/didn't see story. Who knows what she promised her in return.

My TV reaction is the same as my book reaction: apathy.
Sansa is perhaps the least interesting character. Maybe because she's the most generic. |

I can't really discuss Sansa too much because of possible spoilers, but I just can't believe that her not telling the truth to Robert in Ep2 didn't anger you at all.

Nobody has 'discussed the book'. All I've done is discuss how my reaction to Sansa is the same with the show as it was with the book. Not even a smidgen of other information was presented.
