So, I'm done with Season 1 of Game of Thrones and the lesson I'm taking away from this sumptuous sadomasochistic parade is it does not pay to get attached to any of these characters. I think it's more than a little depraved that the first episode ended with royal incest (fittingly doggy style) and defenestration of a 10-year-old. And the season only got worse. After watching this season, I feel like the kid in Spank the Monkey who had to scrub his skin with powdered cleanser to remove the stain of his mother's inappropirate ministrations. Eeeeewwww.
