Well I think it was as good as it could have been. Dragonsoul Send a noteboard - 19/04/2011 03:03:27 AM
I mean it will never be as good as it was in my head while I was reading it, and something is always lost in translation from books to television.

Some of the casting I don't like (Cat and Cersei strike me as too old and not attractive as they were made out in the books, while Ned and Tyrion were bang on and the kids did a fantastic job), but what can you do really.

I think the scene in the godswood was like it was torn right out from my head and put on screen, I loved it. Especially the heart tree. The crypt was well done as well.

All in all, I'm hopeful. It may never be as good as Rome, but I think it could very well be a new favourite series.

No, but Jaime and Tyrion have a VERY strong sibling resemblance. Clover - 18/04/2011 06:29:00 AM 1171 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 511 Views

The more, the merrier. Aemon - 19/04/2011 05:26:29 PM 1174 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 1087 Views

this whole discussion has gone way over my head imlad - 20/04/2011 12:53:06 AM 968 Views
Don't worry about it, there's no reason to know most of that stuff. Aemon - 20/04/2011 08:08:15 AM 1084 Views
Yeah, I think we were just getting confused with some terms. Aemon - 20/04/2011 08:04:47 AM 996 Views
