It just hit me. I’m enjoying House of Cards more than Game of Thrones.

Therefore I must ask myself, why?

Is there a problem with the acting on Game of Thrones? Hells no. It’s superb as always.

Have the producers skimped on the sets or costuming? Again, hells no.

Have the characters remained true to themselves? Yes.

Has the blood and gore factor diminished in any perceptible way? Absolutely not.

Is there nothing on the line? Nothing left to fight for? Oh, honey, it’s all on the line.

Is devil-spawned Joffrey Baratheon still the most hated character in the history of me...
