Why was Robert obsessed with killing Daenerys while Viserys was still alive?

I'm just starting a rewatch and it just struck me - why wasn't Robert trying to kill Viserys? Why Daenerys? Viserys had the stronger claim as he was both male and older than Danny. Certainly Jorah informed Robert that he was alive and present. But no mention of a plot to kill Viserys, not even as part of the Danny assassination plot. Any thoughts? What am I missing?

Is reading the books worth it?

I am rereading the first book and I like it, maybe even more than the first time but I have a question for people who have read the series up to where it is: would you recommend reading the books even though it is unfinished and may not ever get finished?

The parallels between Berserk and A Game Of Thrones



The Berserk manga premise began in 1989 when Kentaro Miura first published it in Japan. A Game of Thrones, the first book in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, premiered in the United States on August 1, 1996. So there is ample time for George to be inspired and incorporate many of Berzerk’s themes into Game of Thrones.

Here are the parallels between Berzerk and Game of Thrones:

Guts is like the Jon Snow of ASOIAF. Guts being fatherless bastard being raised by the Mercenary Captain Gambino and Jon Snow being a fatherless bastard being raised by his veteran Uncle. Jon Snow leaves for the Nights Watch at 14, Guts joins Band of the Hawk at 15.

Both are reluctant heroes, don’t care for noscripts and glory only honor. Jon Snow does die in the books (he is resurrected in the show). Guts goes through his own transformation.

Griffith is like Daenerys (not just beautiful with white hair) the ennoscriptd, ambitious leader that ultimately goes into a downward arc.

Adon (The Hound) and Samson Coborlwitz (The Mountain) fight Guts during the 100 man slayer battle. Samson adorned armor 3 times as thick as regular armor in that only he is able to navigate in. The Mountain adorns armor so heavy, only he can move in it. The Mountain is killed in the books, Samson is killed by Guts.

Cold Hands (ASOIAF) and Skull Cap (Berserk)

Aria Stark (ASOIAF) and Casca (Berserk)

The Apocels (ASOIAF) and The Others (Berserk)

Gambino's lover Sys (シス Shisu) miscarried and he agreed to take Guts along (after his parents were killed) since it seemed to be the only thing that prevented her from going mad with grief. Ned Stark’s wife reluctantly takes in Jon Snow (after his parents were killed).

Guts killed Gambino in self-defense and fled the mercenary camp to escape the wrath of the other mercenaries. Jon Snow kills Qhorin Halfhand to infiltrate the Wildlings and ultimately kills Orell as he is making his escape from the wildling camp to return to the Night's Watch.

There are more parallels, in which I know this subreddit will contribute.

Sending Rickon to Umbers, even that makes sense, why not keep an eye through warging.

Just watched game of thrones for the for the first time, episode 1. My thoughts

The world is massive, The Characters looks good, the characters are introduced in the first episode and lots of characters seemed pretty interesting to me

VFX are pretty well done too, The dead bodies of animals, organs everything looked real. Gore elements in the episode is well done too like beheading scene for example when Ned executed that guy

The one character that felt the most interesting was Daenerys. That Beautiful innocent girl. She is married against her will to khal drago and what a pretty weird brother she has, He literally stripped her naked and said she has a nice body... Like wtf? I assume they are Cousins or real blood siblings ?

As I heard before watching. Lots of nudity is here in show. And gore elements too which is okay but that scene of her brother stripping her naked was really uncomfortable for me to watch other then that everything looked top notch and interesting. One thing is for sure that the world would be more massive and intresting in the coming episodes

Khal drago seem not that Bad. He wiped her tears off saying No only to her questioning. Drago seemed gentle to me. Want to find out in next episodes how would their relationship would turn out ?

I am planning to continue watching it cause lots of storylines are presented in the first episode itself and my interest is peaked now
