I loved the cosmic and supernatural elements of Lovecraft :<

Yeah, but as any type of horror but cosmic nihilism they weren't so much scary as fascinating. Take Journey to Kadath or whatever it was called, for example.

And so far he seems to be the only father in the series that is totally accepting of, and actually decent to, his Bastard Son.

Wat
You forgot about Neddard of house Bean Stark. Raised his son at his own home even when it caused marriage problems and he could've easily fostered him off somewhere.

Yeah. Mind you, it's mainly because show Ramsay is less of a despicable fucknugget than in the books.

EDIT: Anyone else notice Roose's paunch?

Yeah, don't piss off Faquarl.

Many of them do.

Tasrak stares at his runeblade.

"A thing of great beauty is it not?"

Not shoddy craftsmanship.

Probably.

Good god look at Bjornsson's hands compared to Pascal's. They're literally twice as big.

Also, for a first time (I think) actor, Bjornsson did pretty good as the Mountain. It would've been nice if Conan Stevens had kept the job because he looked scary as shit, but I definitely wasn't disappointed.
Apart from shields not existing in TV Westeros. Seriously, Kingsguard got no shield, Gregor got no shield, Stannis got no shield...the only one I've seen is on Ser Vardis, the doughtiest motherfucker alive or dead.

I just realized the Mountain was played by 3 different guys in 3 different seasons. Not as disturbing as that sellsword that bangs dany, but still. They're fucking Game of Thrones, why can't they keep their actors?

First actor went to play a part in the Hobbit but then Peter Jackson was Peter Jackson. Second guy I dunno, think he was busy or something.
Now we have a viking, though.
