Game of Thrones – ‘Baelor’

If someone hadn’t already spoiled the ending of last night’s episode of ‘Game of Thrones’ for me, I would have had the same reaction, but not as funny.

I agree with the AV Club reviewer who said that this could be one of the gutsiest decisions by a TV show, ever. I know the show’s simply following the plot of the book, but there have been plenty of productions that lose their nerve and find a way to save a charismatic and telegenic character from the death he or she suffers on the pages – especially when that death comes so early in a multi-part and still unfolding story.
