And although not actually Northern, the Freys aren't exactly Southern.

The "basically decent" Northmen (your exceptions apart*) are more akin to PTerry's Granny Weatherwax - they may be good, but that doesn't mean that they are nice - and mileage might vary on Lady Dustin, the Umbers, and, possibly even Wyman Manderly.**  ;)

* I'd put Jorah Mormont in the not-decent Northerner category, given the reasons he's in Essos and effectively disinherited.

I'm not sure any characters in GoT are 'decent', apart from possibly Brienne.

No, not even Ned Stark. At the very start of everything he has a young boy's head chopped off for getting scared and running away.

Not "has ... chopped off" - "chops off".

How has this been around for 18 months, and I only saw it today? I must live under a rock or something...

2 episodes into season 5, and it's a bit of a slow burn.

Four episodes in and it's hotting up.  Jon Snow still knows nothing, though.

First four episodes, to be precise - copied from press preview streams.

I've seen stories that HBO are going after anyone who's downloaded them. Yeah, right. Good luck with that.

Starting to deviate nicely from the book. This is good news and bad news:

GN
The books got a bit tedious and didn't half start to ramble.

GN
It means I don't know what will happen next.

BN
At this rate the TV series will overtake the books.

I'm definitely in agreement with the 2nd two points there.


I try not to be like that with the books, if you wait years in anticipation then the book is always likely to be an anticlimax, that was pretty famously thought of the Robery Jordan wheel of time books but a mate of mine read them later than me and liked all the so-called 'tedious' ones as he hadn't had to wait only to find not as much happened as hoped.


But yeah, they are getting right up on the books now.  With some sub-plots (Daenaerys and Tyrion for example) we're almost there already.

Eddard Stark often got shorten to Ned. Did the same happen to Sir Barristan Selmy. Never hear him get referred to as Barry or Bazza

Thought the new series has been a bit slow so far but I just watched ep4 and it's picking up nicely.

Who's done with the show, and who's sticking around to see how bad it can get?
