I was going to say the same thing! But shame, poor Jaime, I came to admire and like him a lot more in book/season 3.
Mod
And yeah I must admit he is growing on me. He seems to be due a little redemption.
Some people might not have watched season 3 yet, or may stick to the books and haven't read the third.Jaime's become one of my favourite characters. Also, I think Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is the best-looking man in the show (except when he's covered in mud and blood).
Mod
And I like him too both for being the best looking but mostly because he is one of the few characters(in the show) that is showing real(and convincing) evolution.
Mod
Oh no sorry!!
Where have you been?? Under a rock?? Do you need the downloads??
They have already played it through twice on DSTV.
Mod
But don't worry about spoilers with me too much, I know mostly what happens. Other people might not tho.

"Yeah, although his relationship with Cersei is... unorthodox, to put it nicely, I actually like how devoted he is to her, and how much he misses he when they're separated for a long time. But you can see major cracks forming in their relationship too. Jaime and Brienne are such an interesting pair too, especially once Jaime reveals more about his past and starts to respect Brienne for her skill and commitment.

I really am sorry :( If it helps any I had the ending of Breaking Bad spoiled for me the other day. So I know how you feel.

I hated it when season 3 ended, because it only covered half the book and I really want to watch the rest play out. I'll have t console myself with rewatches of all the seasons plus DVD commentary.
Mod
Y..."
Yeah his friendship(?) with Brienne with the tipping point for me. I just hope that the show writers don't skip over it too much, I really interested to see where it goes. But I know that they are not exactly sticking to the original story line these days...
Mod
I do both :) It's generally easier to talk about the show though - less overwhelming detail, more vivid imagery, and you're more likely to run into someone who's watched the show than read the books.
Mod
But as I said I am going to give it another try. Partly inspired by this challenge.
Mod
I take it you don't read much epic fantasy then.

Worst genre ever!!!!
Mod
It's not so much that the map is there. I would rather (if I was going to read it) it was there then have to try and keep it all straight in my head. But just the fact that it is necessary to have a map it off putting. Obviously some books are exception to this rule.

."That's an unfair advantage since you know what to buy for to prepare. o.O
Mod
And trust me you won't need a lot of time preparing for this challenge.
Mod
No worries! I don't mean to rush, I'm just looking forward to seeing the tasks and what the characters will mean for us.
Mod
Don't feel bad! We can wait, and the anticipation makes it more exciting :)
Mod
Only if it's so difficult that I have no hope of finishing... :)But I like the creative ways in which you've structured these book-themed challenges.

Don't beat yourself up about the delay though.

Looking forward to Thursday...

I hate factory resets. I have had to do them too several times and it is just no fun.
Right now I am just working with old computers and a bad connection.
If all goes well I will get a huge bonus in December and I have already decided to spend it on a new laptop. Which I hope will mean no more unsolvable computer problems.

Some of you made lists of many characters. Thanks for doing that, but that was a bit unnecessary since I only needed your top 4. But I didn't know that at first and I didn't yet want to give everything away.
I needed your favorite characters since we are all going to be one of the characters for this challenge and by listing your favorites you sealed your fate. :) And in my case Lu sealed my fate and again Lu why o why did you pick that character for me.
We are all going to be the first character on our list that hasn't already been picked by someone else. This means that:
Lu is going to be Daenerys Targaryen
Barbara is going to be Tyrion Lannister
Claudia is going to be Cersei Lannister
Lauren S is going to be Arya Stark
Lauren F is going to be Jaime Lannister
Crusader is going to be Bran Stark
Varla Fiona is going to be Jon Snow
Liezel is going to be Sansa Stark
The character you are is going to influence your tasks. How and why you will see later in the tasks topic.
There is no going back now. The game of thrones is on!
