A Feast for Crows

Ok I was not going to read this one as I read the others (more like eating them rather than reading them) but even though the characters are different and we get the point of view of characters such as disgusting Cercei, I can't drop it off. No Jon or oddly Daenerys in this one but I like Brienne and her noble quest, I like how Jamie is slowly turning into a better man and I love Sam and Maester Aemon's quest (Jon shipped him off the wall since he too carries the blood of a King and a Dragon King at that and if Mellisandre finds this out she'd surely sacrifice him) I think Sam is born to be a Maester. Arya is still in Braavos doing God knows what and I do feel sorry for her (how can I not?) but she is not a particular fave of mine. I don't care for Sansa either but also feel sorry for her. I'm VERY curious about Bran I'm almost halfway and there is no word on what he is doing.

No watching TV, no watching films or dramas I'm just buried in the land of Westeros and enjoying the game of thrones played in it.

A Storm of Swords End, A Feast for Crows, Mighty Aphrodite

Mighty Aphrodite I liked it better this time, probably because I could actually understand it (God I was so young the first time I saw it) Well I do like Woody Allen. What can I do?

A Storm of Swords has ended on a high note. My beloved Jon is chosen to be the Commander of the Wall (and by a huge majority of votes at that). But Tyrion, my second fave character, went to the dark side after Jamie confessed to him that his first love Tysha really truly loved him and she was not a whore (his father made Jamie lie). Well first Tyrion told Jamie that he killed Joffrey (he didn't) and then he went and shot his father while the said father was taking a dump. I'm very very sorry that this character went bad. I loved the fact that he remained good despite his physical handicaps and the fact that 95% of the people around him treated badly. He just couldn't take it.

Jon on the other hand resisted all temptation (even refused to be Lord of Winterfell, something he really wanted) and I loved him even more for it.

Shockingly Jon Arryn was killed by his wife!!! And PB was behing it all!!! What a cunning and evil men. Then he killed Lysa just like that and threw the blame on the singer who witnessed all these. I wonder what he will do to Sansa.

Now I have started A Feast for the Crows right away but so far it is Jamie (I do like how this character is going from pure evil - incestious child murderer- to actually suffering and turning into something that resembles a human being.

So far no Jon but we read Samwell (as he is going to Citadel to become a Maester) about how he started being the Lord Commander and even his first actions are protective and just. I just hope that we get to read more about him and that he won't die.

I don't really care for Arya that much (she sailed to Braavos for some reason). But very very curious about Bran.

A Storm of Swords

All my systems are focused on A Storm of Swords which keeps me on my toes with suprise after suprise (Catelyn and Rob DEAD!!, Tyrion blamed for Joffrey's MURDER!!, Arya hanging out with the HOUND!!!) and I think I can't relax until I finish this one. What a ride.

Queen of No Marriage - End

Well I didn't much care for this one. I have found that I don't like the way Taiwanese mix serious and silly and their shows become boring after a while. All in all Ethan Ruan is good, I liked the leading lady but I don't think I'll return to this one anytime soon.

Well A Storm of Swords on the other hand is excellent. Truly I'm amazed how much I like it.

Queen of No Marriage - Only Three More Episodes Left

Well, Wu Shang handled the business of Lucas being framed really well. Investigated everyone and finally came out with the truth. I also loved how Lucas came back to live with his father (his dad critisising the way he cut cabbage but he lets it go, apologising and telling his father that he will try to do better - I should be like Lucas!). Also it is good that Senior finally woke up and decided not to marry Wu Shang. And finally at the end of episode 18, Wu Shang and Lucas are united. I assume the last three episoded will focus on the age difference and how they will deal with it in the society (though neither of them really care about public opinion that much).

A Storm of Swords is going great. I wonder what will Sansa do when she finds out that her marriage is not going to be with Willas but with Tyrion. My second fave character in the books is Tyrion.

Queen of No Marriage Eps 10-11-12

Well predictably Senior had a very good reason to dump Wu Shang. And predictably our wonderful hero Lucas is the one who made things right between the couple. They are united now but Wu Shang is still interested in Lucas and wants to keep him in her life. Lucas though is in pain since he likes Wu Shang a lot and ready to embrace her at the first hint of a green light from her. Alas I can understand Wu Shang, the man is 8 years younger than her. No matter he is georgeous, no matter he is one of the most good and honest guys ever, no matter he is equally interested in her - in the end he is 8 years younger. So she doesn't give him any encouragement. She seems to be pretty happy with Senior now that she knows he didn't dump her and is still crazy in love with her. But they haven't had sex yet and for some reason she keeps thinking Lucas...

Meanwhile Lucas quit his job as an assistant to Wu Shang. And after her brilliant luck of being ex and current girlfriend of Senior she is back at the news. I understand Jia Jia will be in some kind of trouble regarding the men who harrassed her in front of the bike shop (she is so sweet to agree to model to get a discount on bike repair price. She loves Lucas but I still don't like her).

Queen of No Marriage Eps 7,8 & 9

Unfortunately Queen of No Marriage is slowly going down with silliness. The concerns etc. are real but the situations are not so. Snake bite? I actually fell asleep watching episode 8.

Ethan however continues to be awesome and I like the leading lady better and better.

The secondary lead, Senior who dumped Wu Shang 6 years ago is back. Just when Lucas and Wu Shang are getting together (well he arrived at the reunion to save her from kissing statue of David's manparts - yeah silliness but I think he means when he said he has feelings for her, and it was such a bad kiss. They had much better in the earlier episodes) She thinks Lucas is putting on a show to thank her for finding the answer to his hyacinth question but goes along. Just then Senior shows up. Ugh. I don't like that man even if he had a good reason to dump Wu Shang without any explanation. I'm all for team Lucas :)
