Q. In the first episode of season 2 the guards murder children. Why did they do that?
Answer
It was to keep Joffrey on the throne. All of the children murdered were King Robert's bastards. All of them had black hair. Joffrey didn't want anyone making a comparison and drawing unfortunate conclusions.
In the book, Cersei ordered the execution of all of Robert's bastards, but in the show, it looks as if Joff does it.
ETA: Robert's bastards might have a snowball's chance in the Red Waste to inherit, but in this world, bastards do not get any inheritance. If it was proven that Joff and his siblings were bastards, the throne would go to Stannis, then Stannis's daughter, then Renly. None of Robert's illegitimate children are in the line of succession.

Answer
Breaking Bad definetly!!!t is the best show i have ever seen in my life! the acting is incredible the writing is amazing!!!! Bryan cranston is the boss!!!
5 reasons why breaking bad is the best show on television are
THE ACTING:
Acting is the other reason. Bryan Cranston plays Walter White with extraordinary subtlety. Heâs a shape-shifter, alternating from twitchy, awkward husband to thuggish drug dealer as easily as changing a shirt. Aaron Paulâs Jesse Pinkman is far more complicated than he lets on, and Paul manages to betray those hidden depths without ever allowing Pinkmanâs facade to fall away.
Our two meth-cooking leads are well-supported by a strong cast of major secondary characters. Anna Gunn, gives Walterâs wife, Skyler, plenty of depth and complexity, makinger at once strong and loving and deeply wounded, scarred by her concern and suspicion over Walter. Gunnâs Skyler is a tragic figure in a heartbreaking role.
As Waltâs brother-in-law, Hank, Dean Norris plays a goofy, loud-mouthed A-type personality with hidden depth. His struggle with panic attacks after two violent encounters in his job as a DEA agent create a more vulnerable character, and Norris crafts a far more complex character than Iâd thought possible after the first few episodes.
THE VISUAL STUNING:
No other show on television places so much emphasis on visuals and color as Breaking Bad. As Alyssa Rosenberg notes, the show has âraised the bar for cinematography on television: the way it uses light and color make me look at everything else differently.â
There are no wasted frames in Breaking Bad. Shot in 35-mm film, every scene balances its mood, its tension, on its use of colors. Somehow the show captures and accentuates the rich hues of the American southwest perfectly â and not just the reds and oranges of the landscape. Breaking Bad takes risks with even the most mundane moments: black hair against yellow sheets; the play of light and shadow at the dining room table; the lines in Walter Whiteâs face.
Director of Photography, Michael Slovis, described the show as âreal film-making, more so than even many films that you work on now.â And because itâs a told in a long, narrative arc, the visual elements of the show can be unfolded slowly as well, allowing it to takes risks.

Why not open up season two in black and white with just one hot pink teddy bear floating in a pool? Why not play with wide-angle lenses and other visual techniques? Why not juxtapose action sequences with long, slow shots of the desert? Lots of shows donât take even these small risks, but Breaking Bad pulls no punches.
THE WRITING:
Everything nice that I said about the cinematography applies to the showâs writing as well. Breaking Bad has made me listen to other shows differently in the same sense that Alyssa sees every other show differently. The dialogue is always tight. Nobody acts out of character. You never get a sense that an episode is there just to fix a past continuity error. Thereâs never a moment that seems like the writers had run out of interesting things to say. No filler, no wasted space.
And my goodness, but no show Iâve seen has so mastered the art of the cliff-hanger. Partly this is because not every episode ends at the edge of a cliff. Some just end. Thereâs a finality â sometimes even a sense of tragedy or malaise â to many episodes. At other times, for someone watching on Netflix streaming, itâs pretty much impossible not to stay up too late watching whatever comes next.
The show has vision, and the writers manage to take a long story-arc and not let it get away from them. This has been the downfall of far too many shows, from Lost to The Sopranos. So far at least, Breaking Bad is avoiding the shortcuts in favor of the long haul. Even better, the back story remains shrouded in fog, further enforcing the sense that Walterâs past is not so terribly different than his present: defined so completely by his lies.
Few other shows pull off characters this complex and convincing, and the writing is a big reason why.
If you would like to know more about how amazing breaking bad is check out the website i have at the bottom.
The actor bryan cranston has won an Emmy for every year the season has been on the air and the actors of Game of thrones have only one 1 emmy.
Trust me you will love breaking bad, it is the best show ever created. I have watched some amazing shows including Game of thrones and i recommend you start BB before GOT.
imdb RATED IT 9.4 ! If you would like any other TV shows i recommend you start prison break,dexter and OZ.
But breaking bad first because it is incredible. Honestly Game of thrones is a good show but very boring at times and the writitng and acting is not as good.
