Tempra Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I thought sansa and cercei would be hotter. Just me.Same.And the Hound doesn't do it for me. Other than that, awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Godric Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Really, I can't think of anything wrong with that I just saw. Absolute perfection. Great ending too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Kilimaro Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I read every bit of praise lavished upon the opening sequence of credits and I still was amazed by how cool that was. And you can easily imagine it being adjusted to different areas if they are fortunate enough to be subsequent seasons.Man. I have been looking forward to this for months and it's finally here and I wasn't let down at all. Is it next week yet?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seerow Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I thought sansa and cercei would be hotter. Just me.Sansa was like 11 in the book. Even aged up to 13... how hot do you expect a 13 year old to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Hands-Hot Pie Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 that went REALLY fastI wish they had made the Drogo/Dany scene a little bit closer to how the book played it out...to where it could at least seem consensual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Godric Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 It did fly by. I know a lot of people say that about televisions shows, but that had to have been the fastest hour of my life. Good thing it's on again (and again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Overall, I think the premier was pretty awesome. It does suffer from exposition, as was mentioned in many of the reviews, but on the whole it was bad-ass. I don't know if I can watch this series, though. it is PAINFUL seeing these people and knowing what is in store for their characters. :bawl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jurble Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I was bored. A very expository episode, I found it uninteresting. Though, this might be because I was already familiar with the characters, so exposition, which bores me in general, bored me doubly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arataniello Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Initial thoughts - Thought the Stark kids were all great. Sansa looks way too old to be playing a 13 year old. Forget all this talk of 2 beheadings in the first five minutes - gut spew at the Dothraki wedding was aweseome.Liked the little touch of the bath water being "too hot" but Daenerys got in anyway.More after I have watched it again (think HBO is showing it three times back-to-back tonight).Edit to add - almost couldn't watch "the push" at the end.

SwordoftheMorning Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Gawds was that excellent!!!!The only quibble I have is making Cat so dead set against Ned accepting the offer to be The Hand. I'm thinking the producers want to make her more sympathetic. Cause I've truly hated her since my first read of GOT. The rest ? like dreams coming true.

Trebla Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Loved it. My dad loved it. He just peppered me with questions as it ended. He of course loved Tyrion and Arya.Lysa sending a direct letter was different. Littlefinger playing a more dangerous game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyTorgo Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I knew that intellectually it made sense for them to cliffhanger Bran's fall in as the end of the first episode, but I'm surprised - it seemed like time was running awful fast there to the end - I'm shocked they managed to get it in. Great episode. Viserys is perfect - you just can't wait for him to finally get his crown, he's so detestable!!And Sean Bean was great - I really didn't even think of him as Boromir even though he looked so similar in terms of costuming and such. Given the huge number of characters they had to introduce I think they did a hell of a job getting a lot of them introduced very quickly and getting things rolling -- I'm very impressed with the script.

Greywolf2375 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 OK, I'm sold.Can be picked abpart like Jackson's LOTR for the similarities and differences - overall, I liked it.T detail that went into the sets, armor, clothing, etc was just amazing - made it even more enjoyable to see that level of detail. And yeah..."the things I do for love".Can't wait to see how some of the other shocker scenes get played out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodor124 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 "When I fight a man for real, I don't want him to know what I can do". I was really impressed with this first episode. Let's hope the others are just as good or better. (I especially loved the intro sequence btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
