Oh, boy – things are getting confusing. Here’s my thoughts for Game of Thrones rest of season 1: Here we go!
Recap:
Episode 4:
- What the HELL is going on? Seriously, help.
- Hunger Girl continues to be my favorite character in this show. I hope she catches a cat. I’d watch a 90 minute episode of her attempting to do that.
- What was up with that bath scene? Besides dragon talk turning women on. I gotta try this sometime. “Hey, baby – ever heard of Figment?”
- Poor Wall Chunk.
- Passage of time is so out of whack in this show. I have no idea when or where anything is. Captions, plz!
- Yep, don’t need to see a joust death ever again.
- Am I missing stuff? Prolly. So confused.
Episode 5:
- Loved watching Hunger Girl chase a cat. Only 89 minutes too short.
- Hunger Girl is the best character on this show. I’ll be saying that a lot.
- Ooooh? Boy-on-boy scene? Nice. Still no dick, though.
- The gore in this show is kinda unsettling. I’d prefer they replace the blood with confetti.
- Ah, man – the cool bodyguard dude died? Dammit.
- Who the hell attacked LOTR’s wife? So confused.
- Boob-sucker is gonna be typecasted for the rest of his career.
- Speaking of boobs, geeze – you’re making me blush here.
Episode 6:
- Hmm… What the hell happened in this episode? They’re all blending together!
- The creepy boob-sucking kid is like Jabba’s pet rat-thing in Return of Jedi, just somehow more annoying.
- Is this the episode where they attacked LOTR but then he became temporary king for whatever reason? Because I’m so confused.
- Still not liking Harry Potter Reject. Go wave a wand or something, dork!
- The knight fight in Cloudy City made no sense to me. But I also hardly pay attention, so maybe that’s the problem? Nah. Shit still don’t make no sense.
- Death by melted gold is 2nd favorite on-screen death behind death by kebab in Temple of Doom.
Episode 7:
- Huh?
- What’s going on with Not-Orland-Bloom and Wall Chunk? Like, what’s their purpose right now? And who’s ice hand did the dog bring back? WHAT IS GOING ON?
- The fat king got killed by a pig? Sure, why not?
- I miss Hunger Girl. What’s she up to?
- Harry Potter Reject is now king? He should fight Boob-sucker for title of most annoying kid on this show.
- Since I can’t read the subtitles for Barbarian Eyeliner, I have ZERO clue what he was yapping about. Presumably he was saying things like, “Rawr!” and “Argh!”
- How many times are people gonna get betrayed or double-crossed? There should be a counter on the screen every time it happens. I’m sure it’s in the triple digits right now.
Episode 8:
- So I TOTALLY thought the ice zombie was the bald, soft-spoken dude who I’m just gonna call “Bald Conspirer,” because that’s the only thing I know about him. They had to put that in just to confuse me, right? Right.
- Speaking of questions, what the HELL is going on?
- Horny Willow is a fun character. Way better than HPR.
- Speaking of HPR, he’s the worst. Hunger Girl kills him, right? She better.
- Sooooooo sad Hunger Girl’s teacher died. He was awesome! Hunger Girl better get a glorious revenge. I demand it!
- Still have no idea what Barbarian Eyeliner is saying. Damm Japanese subtitles.
- So I guess everyone is going to war or something? I dunno, man.
Episode 9:
- Yay! Not-Orlando-Bloom gets a sword. I would have fell out of my chair if the Zelda “item jingle” played upon receiving it.
- Poor Barbarian Eyeliner. Please tell me he becomes an undead horse zombie. Then it becomes undead horse zombies vs. ice zombies. Best. Show. Ever.
- Still digging Horny Willow. I hope he sticks around.
- Those ravens seem more reliable than my cell signal.
- WTF! They killed LOTR? Fuck this show. Now I REALLY hate HPR.
- My prediction of Hunger Girl killing HPR increases. THIS BETTER HAPPEN. Please happen. It happens, right? NO SPOILARZ!
Episode 10:
- Wait, whaaa – the Dragon Lady birthed a dragon baby? I SO CALLED THAT! Shame it died. Boo!
- Speaking of death, Barbarian Eyeliner is gone, too? Life expectancy on this show is shorter than Walking Dead.
- Hunger Girl is now Hunger Boy? Dig it. I can’t wait for her to kill HPR!
- Despite so much crap going on in earlier episodes, the season finale kinda ended anticlimactically. Hell, I’m having a hard time remembering any of significance happening. They really should have ended the season with LOTR’s death; drama peaked at that point.
- HPR is a comically awful villain. And I’m not sure if I love or hate that.
Aight, that’s it – season 1 complete. I find it insane there’ still like 7-8 more seasons of this. How the hell can they keep it going? I feel like every major character will be dead by Season 2 episode 5. I guess I’ll keep watching. Expect more recaps soon! Thanks for reading.
Game of Thrones is a train wreck. The trashy scenes distract everyone from the fact that: the timeline is off, there is no real character development, and the plot is weak. Part of the problem is that they condensed 800 page novels into 10 episodes. The second problem with GoT is the cringe-worthy scenes. The final problem is some things are not revealed until later seasons. I stopped watching Game of Thrones, but your recaps make me want to go back and re-watch the episodes.

OMG! The books are EIGHT HUNDRED pages long? Jesus. The show is already a slog, so I can’t even IMAGINE how banal the rest of the book must be. I imagine it’s 50 straight pages of back-and-forth political dialogue with no real purpose other than to show these people like to reference their house name and/or the seasons (and when they’re coming). Oh, and boob descriptions. Lots of those.
I am enjoying the show despite the fact I have zero clue what’s going on. I’m mostly watching to see Hunger Girl-Boy kill HPR. I’m so convinced that’s going to happen that I must see it through.

The five books published (so far) range between 700 to 1000 pages. A Game of Thrones is at 694 pages while A Dance with Dragons is at 1040. There are A LOT of deaths in these novels and two more novels are going to be published. I haven’t attempted to read the series . . . don’t have the brain power or attention span.
HBO is developing prequels to Game of Thrones . . . god help us all lol.
I like the nicknames you’ve gave these characters 🙂
