Chuck Does A Song of Ice and Fire

Post by Eframepilot »

So Chuck posted his review of the first episode of A Game of Thrones a few days ago. He said that he hasn't read the books yet and so he assumed the worst of Jaime, who isn't quite as bad a guy as he first appears. I was especially amused that Chuck got Jorah Mormont's name wrong, calling him Jon Connington. That's actually quite the impressive mixup. I wouldn't expect someone who hasn't read the books to have ever heard of Connington, and the mixup is particularly apt since Mormont and Connington are in similar positions and are driven by similar motives. In fact I suspect that Chuck stuck that in to tease his audience.

Here

Not really that brilliant a review to tell you the truth. Comes of him doing requests and not things that you know, he's actually knowledge about.

It's not like a ton happens during the first episode either. Ominous encounter, here's a character, here's another character, more characters, exposition! Wedding! More exposition! Child thrown from a tower!

Yeah, he says it himself - the first episode is all worldbuilding and character establishment stuff.
