After watching it, my favourite character so far is the "bastard" son. Plus, I find the actor to be really hot so ...
Does anyone else find it weird watching Mark Addy as the King after knowing him from Still Standing? It'll take some getting used to for me.
That evil blonde haired brother who gave away his sister is SUCH a little toad. That line about giving her up for 40,000 men, etc, was shocking and gross. However, Jason Mamoa (a.k.a hottie #2743 from Baywatch) isn't the worst guy to have to "please."
I want a fox!
LOVED the kid getting pushed out the window (or whatever it was called in those days)! He didn't annoy me at all, but he is a child so I'll expectantly be quite pleased if he dies, but I don't see that happening. His sister is another of my early favourites so far as well. A young Joan of Arc. I usually stay away from shows like this because of the expected misogyny, so I hope they use her well.
As for what I found gross. The beheadings were tame. Not even horror movie grotesque. It was the blowjob scene with Peter Dinklage that made me want to throw up!
I also really like the guy that pushed the kid out of the window. He's amusing. A nice change from all the seriousness.
