Watching the first episode now...first ten minutes have been really good.

I watched it for the third time last night, and am still impressed with the casting. Every role is spot on, except for Cersei. She's got beauty, but it's more of a 'plain' beauty than a 'striking' beauty that is described in the books. And the actress is playing the role a bit more subdued than I had imagined. She just doesn't seem hot or haughty enough.

I haven't read the books nor heard of them outside of Chiefsplanet, however I watched the first episode based entirely on your discussion in this thread.
Any show that has a Drunken Midget getting a blowjob and an orgy in the first half our of the first episode, has my attention. I'm not really into the fantasy genre but I can see this show having possibilities. I was pretty shocked at the final minute of the first episode. |

The way they sold it on the previews was that she might have been able to love him had he not been the way he was. Rather than her pining away for years. She's the woman scorned, basically. |

Tyrion is many, many people's favorite character from the series. |

Tyrion Arya Jon/Ghost Bronn |
For me:
Arya Jon Daenerys Catelyn Tyrion I've only read through Storm Of Swords. I wanted the fifth book to have a hard publication date before I read Feast Of Crows. I'm buy Feast Of Crows, and hopefully I'll start it in about 2 or 3 weeks. |
Wow, Arya must have a bright future judging from the posts here. She was nowhere near my favorite character in GoT. After reading the 1st book, I had a feeling Jon would probably become my fave in the following works.

I missed important details, as I didn't realize that whatshisname who was banging the King's wife was actually his sister....that makes a difference. I didn't understand that the blond(with the rockin' body) was a minor....That is a little more than offputting. I'm curious as to the significance of the dire wolf, but it was obvious that it was big medicine. Brideowanian walked into the room as the kid was in the window at the end.....and acted like she'd just seen a car crash. I verbally said "holy shit"....as I thought that kid was going to be a major character...like the next king or something. I'll watch it again, but I can already tell I'm not going to know who is who for a while. As long as it keeps entertaining, I'll keep watching. If it gets too much into dragons and monsters, it'll probably lose me. So far, I was surprisingly entertained. i liked it. |

The direwolf's importance had a few characteristics: 1) Direwolves hadn't been seen south of The Wall for hundreds of years, meaning shit may be about to go down. 2) 5 direwolf pups for the 5 Stark children, with a runt left to die outside of the litter for the bastard Jon 3) The direwolf is the symbol of House Stark, and there is symbolism with how the direwolf died. |
Yeap, the first scene, just like the preface in the book has very little to do with the story being told. It is foreshadowing something much bigger than the conflicts between the families (which are the centerpiece of both the book and the show). The blue-eyed things only get touched upon one more time, albeit in a pretty major way.
