EP2: Two Episodes In

Well, it looks like twenty percent of the season is already over, and let’s just say that most of us wildly miscalculated how much killing/injury was going to score. Apparently, injury is not a precursor to killing, but in addition to it. (The Facebook page for the fantasy leagues raged for a week with debates and complaints.)

All that hacking and slashing Hound and Arya did in WK1 netted a cool 99 points total. All from a bar brawl! I’m a little frightened to see how many points will be accrued if we ever see a real, full fledged, battle. It seems like the characters capable of physical fighting will definitely carry each team. And if you drafted a team full of horny drunkards, you could be in big trouble. I mean, drinking only garners +1 point per scene and nobody’s even had sex yet. Even then, sex is only worth +5 points per instance. Somebody needs to get busy fast!

At least in WK2 Joffery and Cersei got some healthy insult points, racking up 18 and 16 each, even though it must be a bitch to determine how many insults they threw at the the poor fools around them. Either way, each week will surely be a mystery moving forward. Can we get some more fighting soon, please?!

It’s possible that Direwolf Pups’ 71 total points could hold Mel in first place all the way until mid-season. Heck, will Daniel and Trieu’s team even eclipse double digits by then? Daniel's God of T!t$ and Wine have only had Tyrion score four points, while last place Dark Knights has a measly one drinking point from Bronn. Basically, we're all hoping for a lot of action in the upcoming episodes, otherwise Direwolf Pups! and Valar Morghulis will cruise to an easy victory.

Top Five Characters:

1. The Hound (70 pts)
2. Arya Stark (34 pts)
3. Joffery Baratheon (24 pts)
4. Cersei (18 pts)
5. Prince Oberyn Martell (13 pts)
