I also approve of the casting. Other impressions: Clover Send a noteboard - 18/04/2011 06:33:44 AM
It seems very promising. I'm happy with the pace and with the level of faithfulness to the books. There were always going to be changes, but nothing too egregious so far.

Like most HBO shows, it is a visual delight. This is the kind of thing I would watch many times because it's just so pretty.

I loved the scenes with the Targaryens, but am very sad that they ended Dany's wedding night when they did. (Don't give me that look! That experience is an essential part of her development. It's her first taste of being honored and respected, a private glimpse of what it might feel like to be a beloved queen.)

I'm looking forward to the next episode already.

No, but Jaime and Tyrion have a VERY strong sibling resemblance. Clover - 18/04/2011 06:29:00 AM 1364 Views
Joff's lips were just not pouty enough I thought, still I can't stand the sight of him, so good job *NM* djwilson300 - 18/04/2011 07:13:22 AM 612 Views

I really enjoyed it, but one thing that was distracting me... imlad - 18/04/2011 08:15:54 AM 1551 Views
So you were definitly watching it on a LCD or LED tv with 120hrtz or greater.....they are poopy djwilson300 - 18/04/2011 08:52:29 AM 1385 Views
so, will I have this problem watching the Hobbit next year? imlad - 18/04/2011 07:17:58 PM 1175 Views
Hard to say. Aemon - 18/04/2011 09:44:13 PM 1331 Views
Ouch.... DomA - 18/04/2011 09:59:28 PM 1280 Views

I've gotta butt in scalius - 19/04/2011 04:46:28 PM 1169 Views
The more, the merrier. Aemon - 19/04/2011 05:26:29 PM 1394 Views
Poopy was kinda strong language. It is a matter of taste and Aemon is my new favorite. djwilson300 - 19/04/2011 06:25:15 PM 1265 Views

this whole discussion has gone way over my head imlad - 20/04/2011 12:53:06 AM 1185 Views
Don't worry about it, there's no reason to know most of that stuff. Aemon - 20/04/2011 08:08:15 AM 1260 Views
Yeah, I think we were just getting confused with some terms. Aemon - 20/04/2011 08:04:47 AM 1211 Views
I def agree with you about Dany's wedding night. *NM* Darth_Katie - 22/04/2011 04:45:10 AM 664 Views
