Emmy worthy.
I had one, it's overrated. Then again, mine wasn't made of my slain enemies, so it might not be a valid comparison.
Shae-porn mostly. And nudes of The Mountain. Also; Arrow and Agents of SHIELD.
Any other show really, I don't really need a lot of shows like GoT.

Give Deadwood a go, like GOT it has lots of amazing characters and also like GOT plenty of shocking scenes.
Those are all really good shows in their own ways in my opinion. I'm actually going through The Tudors now and it's pretty good if you're bored and like history. The Borgias is good too full of political maneuvers, characters you love to hate, and a familiar theme with Game of Thrones involving family...lol
Rome is my favorite on your list though. It still stings that it ended so prematurely.
Game of Thrones is honestly in another league though. Every single scene in GoT means something and can be analyzed to death so don't go in expecting those shows to be as captivating, but they'll be enjoyable to watch.
Plus one fantastic cocksucker.
Ya, I'm not going in expecting them to be like GoT, nothing will quite capture the magic it possesses. But something "medieval "ish with some political intrigue and backstabbing sounds like it would fill the hole.
@deadmonkey I'll look into deadwood.

She made a promise to Ser Dontos. You really think Ned Stark's daughter would break a promise if she had it in her power to carry it out?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
That's Stannis. He, a little bit like Ned, is exceedingly militant about what is considered law and rights. As far as he's concerned he, by no stretch of imagination, is in absolute, 100% right of kingship. From his perspective anybody knowing and recognising the Lannisters have inbred kids sitting on the throne must swear fealty to him. Those who do not either don't believe in the truth and are thus allies to the Lannister, or don't care and thus committing treason. Robb probably would have allied with Stannis in a heartbeat. Stannis couldn't give a shit as all he sees is yet another house trying to usurp his rightful kingship, just like the Lannisters.
But now he's sitting in a shithole castle eating shitty pie next to a murderous zealot and the ruins of whatever army he had. YOU LOSE, STANNIS.
As I side, Stannis arc I want to like but fucking sucks as it has almost no exposition and what exposition it has seems to go nowhere. Onion Knight + kid make for lovely, heartwarming scenes, and the red witch is so goddamn hot, but that's it. It's like they've totally forgotten that Melisandre said they need to abandon the quest for Kings Landing and instead go North, so now Stannis is just sitting around bitching about the lack of an army.

seriously. many times i prefer it over this show tbh (though i'm currently 50/50 on which is better). lagertha's my queen. and ragnar is too awesome.
also black sails which isn't as good as either but is still quite entertaining. amazed that there's not a huge following for these shows here.
edit: rome > all these shows with swords imo. what a shame it ended so soon.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that's turned on by the crazy witch of the south. She reminds of the absolutely batshit crazy girls in my city <3
You're right about Stannis, but he really is a fool due to this. I want to like Stannis's storyline as well but at this point he is stuck at that "nothing is happening" black hole. Brandon was that way for season 2 and season 3 until finally this season he got caught and might meet up with John Snow. My guess with Stannis is he moves up North and helps them against Wildlings. Saying that unless the White Walkers attack the Wildlings, I don't see how they can stop 100,000 of them. Then again the story is making it seem like they are such overwhelming favorites, that you have to think that the non-Wildlings will win it out. Rarely do things happen here as portrayed.
To the one asking for TV shows, there is Person of Interest. Not Medevil at all, but in terms of having a crap ton of characters and too many plot lines to count, this would fit the bill. It may start off slow (first 6-7 episodes), but then you start to get new arcs and plotlines bit by bit. I jump from Game of Thrones to Person of Interest on which is better, but I think I may be leaning with GoT now since in season 4 I realize I am finally adapted to their world and characters which makes the experience so enjoyable. I could watch another 10 extra episodes of GoT characters just talking to one another.

You're not a Stark. Their house is built on morality and honour.
She promised to give the necklace "one last day in the sun".
I don't know how Littlefinger finds people to work with/for him. He makes a point of letting people know not to trust him, kills a guy in front of his crew because "death is better than gold to keep secrets", obviously doesn't even pay him, etc. I'd be one of those crewmen I'd wonder who would be next. Being summoned to his cabin for a highly important and well paid secret mission is basically walking into a death trap as soon as said mission is fulfilled. Those crossbowmen have seen and heard everything, it would be easy for them to go to the Lannisters (who always pay their debts) and just tell everything for money or a position in the guards or something.
I was slightly annoyed they had to spend five minutes to explain who did what to Sansa and Margaery so that the audience understood it clearly. I felt the first encounter between Sansa and Littlefinger was enough to get the picture. Then again maybe I felt this way because I read forums and theories and saw still pictures of Olenna messing with the necklace.

98% of the people aren't going to go on forums or watch videos to find out the answer. I didn't think those scenes dragged out at all. My first guess was Olenna all along, I just didn't expect Littlefinger to be part of the plan.
The problem with those soldiers is that they can't leave once they join him. Because if you leave, the chance of death is significantly higher. A similar example is the more dangerous gangs or Cartel. You can't exactly leave once you join him. The road has been set, your hope is that circumstances don't show up in front of you. The fear of him is too great to try and screw him over I would imagine.
By the way, just rewatched Jaime's scene with Breanne in the bathtub. I'm usually (digital) painting so I tend to want to listen to something interesting if I'm not listening to music. One of the best moments on television, music, script, exposition, character development, and acting is absolutely amazing. Nikolai (?) really outdid himself here. I got shivers just watching it again. One of the best scenes in GoT by far.

Isn't the second part of the bolded kind of a problem in regards to the first part of the bolded? I mean that's the whole point, without an army, he can't really do shit. But now the Onion Knight is reaching out to the Iron Bank, which may solve this little dilemma

True. Though I still question how will Stannis get north. The river lands are being sacked by the Mountain's forces, Ironborn are waging war with the Boltons in the north and presumably control the seas. How will he get north with an army?
The scenes involving the baby, especially the final scene are the most disturbing scenes in the entire show to me, thus far. Couldn't care less how they kill everybody, the red wedding was just mildly shocking to me but when watching those scenes I was all "LEAVE THE BABY ALOOOOOOONE!!!
Yeah I get his game. Just seemed odd to me since the two sides who seemingly worked together in this plot are at odds with each other over the very thing (Sansa) Littlefinger got. I guess they promised him Sansa in exchange for helping to kill Joffrey. For the Tyrells this works because they can still keep working to take the throne with now Tommen.
Yeah while all those other scenes were very shocking and disturbing this one almost brought me to tears. I just had my first child and he 1.5 months old. The baby's cry in the show obviously mirrors my son's cries and I couldn't handle it.
I hear you my man. New father here as well.

Wtf is an onion knight?
He was knighted for smuggling food, including onions.
It's funny because it's a class in Final Fantasy, so I assumed it was an actual thing.

She took him back to an ally of Robb's to be safe because Bran was going North. I believe it was the guy who got his hand bit by Robb's direwolf

Robb - Grey Wind(dead)
Jon - Ghost
Sansa - Lady (dead)
Arya - Nymeria (missing)
Bran - Summer
Rickon - Shaggydog
Yeah I thought they were going to go to Castle Black weren't they?
Edit: Oh right, they went to that guys place. Greatjon Umber or something?

They're headed to The Last Hearth, home of the Umbers.
Greatjon Umber was one of Robb's main advisors during S1. Robb's wolf bit off a few of his fingers before they matched south.
Jon Snow -> Ghost
Bran -> Summer
Robb -> Grey Wind
Sansa -> Lady
Arya -> Nymeria
Rickon -> Shaggydog
Thanks yo.
Wonder what seat on the small council will Tywin grant Oberyn… like is he assuming Tyrion is guilty and will give away the Master of Coin position?
Edit: Because I feel like after consideration, Tywin probably doesn't really believe Tyrion is guilty and would rather not lose another family member.

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but it seems like a strong possibility. Game of Thrones is good about avoiding plotholes, and that would explain why Sansa would be wearing the right necklace on the right day. Yes, Shae bailed on Tyrion before then, but we have no idea of her whereabouts since. She's obviously not going to be gone for good, just like that. I like this theory.
Well, Joffrey died and he was the king. Kings are kind of seen as above men but are flesh and blood like the rest of us.
OR
Someone that we think is untouchable will die this season.
I dunno, I'm just throwing stuff out there.
I thought about her being involved but then I dismissed it when everyone here mentioned the necklace.
It felt odd that the writers would add that bit of dialogue for viewers when Tyrion asked Bronn if he saw her board the ship. It just felt weird to me.
