Many of the important females in the books are described as great beauties. Cersei comes to mind. Sansa and Daenerys, too. Of the three, only Daenerys comes close in the show. Cersei seemed a little on the old side, and Sansa, well, Sansa was downright plain looking. I was a little disappointed by her in particular, as a lot of her interactions in the book revolve around her looks.
Cersei is fine with me, but I am also a little disappointed in Sansa. It will be interesting to see how Dany conjures up the strength later, while now she is only a pretty cow-eyed victim.
Oddly, I didn't mind Catelyn at all. Maybe I just don't remember her very well, but I thought she was great in the show. Her personality and inner strength was perfect, and she's definitely someone I can see transitioning into the post-red-wedding Cat from the books.
I found her too old on the pics, but I find her actress did a great job to portray the essence of Catelyn.

Poopy was kinda strong language. It is a matter of taste and Aemon is my new favorite.
