So fucking awesome. nearly all the actors are perfectly spot on. viserys, catelyn, ned, jaime. wow. that stare down with ned and jaime was INTENSE! and the total casualness in the shove jaime gives bran. just brilliant acting all around.

the only thing that i found slightly odd was the mixing of caucasian and black skin tones among the dothraki. its not a big deal but it seems strange to have such diversity among a nomadic tribe. it would be all right if the books made some mention of say, travellers joining the dothraki, but iirc, the dothraki are pretty antagonistic toward outsiders

I thought it was great, though to tell you the truth seeing Dany naked and knowing how old she is in the books kinda tripped me out. I'm over it. BTW, the Hound looks SICK

Episode was fantastic.

And Daenerys... I know how old she is supposed to be in the books (and even here she's supposed to be pretty young), but dammit, those lips and hips of hers.


Mayhaps this thread should be retitled into a more generic "Game of Thrones on HBO" thread for discussion?


PS: Peter Dinklage and Sean Bean were perfect in every way.

If you think it worth the money and hassle, that can happen to you, too.

Amazing, amazing theme! Wow.

I didnt really like the beginning of GoT and I didnt really like this episode, but I cant wait till we get to the politicking and scheming of KL. And Bronn! People who havent read the books will be screaming for more Bronn. You just know he is going to carry this show.

Makes me kind of sad that Chain of Dogs was never picked up for anything. It would have made an absolutely wonderful miniseries.

[Gothos]

It's gonna be up on HBO PL tonight, but I'm not home to watch it. Got to tell dad to record it, and watch it on friday evening.

[King Bear]

No idea when it's coming here, I haven't even seen any adverts for it in NZ media. We don't have HBO, we have national networks that buy most of their shows from foreign networks. Sometimes we get shows within weeks of their overseas release, sometimes it takes months or a year or more. I watched BSG season 2 on DVD well before it screened here, same with season 3. And the Walking Dead still hasn't aired here. And I don't watch it but apparently we're two seasons behind on Drop Dead Diva.

But I really don't want to wait a year to see this, so I might have to resort to other means.

[Cyphon]

Drop Dead Diva?

Drop Dead Diva?

A beautiful but ditzy young woman dies in a car accident, but is resurrected after she presses the return key on heaven's computer. Problem is, she's not returned to her own body, but that of another recently deceased young woman. She inherits none of her new body's memories, but all of it's genius intellect and amazing lawyering skills. She's also still in love with her boyfriend, who conveniently works with her, but has no idea who she actually is.

My two (female) flatmates are obsessed with it, so I know far more about it than I'd like.

You knows it mate

[D'rek]

LOVED IT! I liked that they bumped up the ages of most of the younger characters - it'd be hard to believe Bran is 7 with that actor, and I imagine it's hard to find a 7-year old actor who could pull off that level of acting. I'm not sure if that age boost applies to Dany (she's what, 13 in the books? 16 would be a bit more appropriate for international television I think). I don't think Dany needed to be QUITE so naked all the time (and I count wearing see-through clothes!), but her dress at the wedding was super pretty which made up for it.


Anyways, it was super great!

Just wait until season 2.

Spoiler

When she's in Slaver's Bay (or is it Qarth?) the customary attire for women involves baring one breast at all times. Somehow I doubt they'll adapt this faithfully, as it would be a bit distraction if she had one tit out in every scene.

Like one of those old commercials for RISK mashed up with the opening of ROME.
