I'm going to hold off until Friday I think, and then watch it with my fellow fan boy when I visit him.

Well, every bit of the series so far looks and sounds and feels like Westeros without any doubt, always, so it's bound to be a masterpiece. You don't see a fantasy world being understood THIS well very often. And the cast! Casting is an art of it's own, and the people that cast this crew should be made saints or something.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

So good. Arya hitting the bulls eye was great. I can't wait to see the opening credits sequence for the actual debut.

Damn I should have read this before starting a new thread...

I thought it was awesome, but as I said on the other thread I thought the Others and the Wight's look too similar. Both have blue eyes and look zombie like. The Others are supposed to be ethereal with swords that look to be made from glass...

I really hope this series doesn't suffer from the constant "Previously on..." and "Next time on..." headers and footers that shorten the actual content by a good 5 or 10 minutes per episode. American shows do tend to go over the top on that sort of thing, and it is extremely annoying.

Man... Has the same bleak and brooding atmosphere that I always imagined it would have. Very annoyed when it finished I could have kept watching for ages!

I would say you're out of luck on that one. American productions can be annoying, but somebody is trying pretty hard.
HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

Agreed. I could sit and watch all day.

Who cares? Ignore that. It's a minor quibble.

The wall is huge.
It looks fantastic. I'm a bit disappointed with the opening scene though, thought there could have been more of it. Maybe they wanted to tone down the fantasy elements...

From watching all these previews and teasers I have come to suspect that they have reworked the Catelyn character. Like rather than her urging Ned to go to King's Landing she's begging him not to and there was a similar change somewhere in this preview. I love to hate Catelyn so I hope they don't make her meek and needy.

You're a tad on the late side Pat. We linked this last night a few posts back. :)

I'm still kind of disappointed that they had to replace a hottie like Jennifer Ehle in the Catelyn role with the homely looking chick they got...but perhaps that's for the best since Catelyn is not supposed to be gorgeous or anything...hmmm....

I told a guy at my work who is a fan about the first 15 min being online and he should check it out when he gets home...he goes "Screw that, I'm watching it NOW!" LOL

Even work won't stand in the way of ASOIAF fans.

Seems like they're sticking to the plot quite tightly as well...
