he's in the kings guard because he's a lannister. They all want to weasel their way into positions of power and influence through their name, rather than on merit.

Bear in mind the comments stark made to him about the condition of his armour and carefully choosing his opponents. He only picks fights he knows he can win. Like stabbing the king in the back. Then there was of course the comments about the lannisters staying out of the revolution by Robert and Eddard against the Targareyans until they knew which side was going to win.

One thing the lannisters are not, is men of honour. They serve only themselves.

I'm not watching the series because it's on Murdoch, which I don't have, but from the books (no spoilers):

1) He was made a Kingsguard by the last king, who was not a Lannister. The Lannisters may have stayed out of the uprising until late, but it was Jaime who finished it. And for reasons of honour, not practicality.
2) He is a VERY good fighter. Picking your battles carefully is not the same as being scared of them: there's no evidence that he is even a bit of a coward.

I'm assuming that the series isn't straying too far from the books.

Couldn't agree more, the further into the books you get the more this character developes, He was becoming one of my favorites to read because of how complex he became..
 
Another excellent episode!

Loved the Bronn fight. Just how it was in the book, let the guy wearing the shield and heavy armour wear himself out then a quick poke and jobs a gud un. Ending was epic too :D

They fought in the gardens in the book though, a minor change but so obvious when they kept flaunting the hatch in the room.
 
Great episode.

- The award for most painful death goes to... Viserys! Not a good way to go...

- Syrio Forel is an awesome character. I really enjoy watching the scenes between him and Arya.

- I wonder how much Jason Momoa is getting paid to sit there and look menacing for 90% of the time he's on screen as Drogo.

- Tyrion confessing his crimes was funny/entertaining to watch. Still a great character.

- I'm not one for heights, and i know it was entirely fictional but the scenes with Tyrion in the cell were unnerving. Seriously, who has a chat with someone while standing on the edge of a very very very large drop. I clenched my teeth in fright when he started rolling.

- Daenerys has some guts... the heart eating scene was hard to...stomach :p.
 
Am loving this series, its just getting better as it goes, having read some of the first book, i kind of no whats going to happen to some of the main people :( i have stopped reading the book now

I confess I cheered a lot more when he died in the book than I did here. In the book he's portrayed as much more of a cruel, dangerous psychopath, whereas in the series he's justan an annoying spoiled little brat. What happened to him here seems a bit over the top, whereas when I read the same scene in the book I did a few airpunches in celebration and wondered why they put up with him this long! :D

I don't think anyone would have had the balls to walk up to him and tell him they're reducing his salary... :p Anyway, he's worth it, he and Tyrion are the best-cast characters in the whole series! Look forward to seeing him as Conan, the plot of that movie sounds dire but finally we'll see a Conan that looks the part, rather than the blonde dopey Austrian who played him last time round! ;)

Same, I got vertigo just watching it! And it's the worst possible way to wake up, that! It's like waking up from a nightmare and discovering it's still going on!
 
Awesome Awesome Awesome

i have no words for how good this series is. So glad to see Cersei get a good bitch slapping.

The next episode or two are going to be even better too ;)
