My Dad watches Game of Thrones and frankly, thats awesome. I know some people dont like watching shows with their parents but its quite nice to be able to speak to him about something which interests the both of us. Because he doesnt spend his days on the internet like I do and hasnt read the books, he naturally has less knowledge than me. But aside from doggedly calling Eddard Stark Sean Bean, hes got a good grasp of the characters and can be trusted to pick them out in a line-up. However, whenever Meera turned up, my Dad always wondered who she was and frankly, if I hadnt read the books and followed the casting, Id be in the same boat. This girl seemed to flick in and out of existence almost at will in Brans storyline she probably got even less screen-time than Rickon, and thats pretty much the cruellest insult you can receive in Game of Thrones. Dont get me wrong, shes a good character on page and shes played by a good actress in Ellie Kendrick (seriously, shes awesome in Being Human), but at the moment she hasnt had much to do. Ostensibly, shes there to protect Brans group and gather things to eat, but having the role as the help doesnt really lend itself well to dramatic monologue-ing. We can only hope she comes to the forefront north of The Wall next season, especially considering how threatening it is up there these days. But until then, shell just be skinning rabbits in the background not the most thrilling activity, and since Oshas split from the group, they cant even liven it up with bickering either.
