Game of Thrones - mostly

[Kath]

This is pretty interesting.

Someone clocked every second of “Game of Thrones” and ranked each character by screen time

[clubgop]

Which characters do you not know enough about due to another character getting too much screen time?

Pretty much all of Dorne.

Really? I found nothing compelling about the Dornish people. They are all kind of dumb. No political savvy whatsoever, foolish & short-sighted. Personally, I know enough.

I would want to know more maybe in a spinoff but in the main series it just seems to fulfill the role of all the required geographical locations like Planets in Star Wars.

Go ahead name your top five GoT episodes, I guarantee that more than half of them take place in mostly one location, with a deep dive into the group of characters at that location, as opposed to jumping from characters travelling from point A to point B with dialogue to help with the filler. The only way you can front like I'm wrong is you don't stop to notice that most of favorite GoT episodes follow the pattern that I suggest.

Just watched 5.10, Mother's Mercy. Fantastic episode. Features every character still alive, with the exception of The Hound.

That surprises me. They are politically ignorant in every way. I would think that would be a turn-off for you.

One out of five, is not a trend. Existence of an exception does not disprove the rule.

They are politically ignorant on the show and they are ignorant externally, remember the kingdom of Dorne is and was unconquered and never bent the knee to Aegon so the politics of Westoros was never a concern for them, internally however the palace intrigue of a royal family like that would be interesting.

The time they did spend on Dorne was a complete waste, should have cut it out of the television show entirely. That is what comes of sticking too closely to the books.

Everything about the mistress and her daughters was ho hum.

If Game of Thrones was as much like The Wire as it wishes it was, that material would have been so cut.
