Gonna let it air, work on that first book and then powerwatch.

Thought it was an excellent opening episode. I didn't rush through introducing characters, but certainly set the scene nicely. Both the casting and the production was first rate, especially Tyrion "The Imp" who steals any scene he is near. All bodes very well for the rest of the series

Lets hope they keep the current level of boobage up as the hot chicks certainly help as well

thought it was awesome for a first episode

Plenty?

Almost fell asleep. Was stoned, but I thought it would help. Would like a little more pace to it, but it might get better. The opening scenes were awesome.

I was surprised how much they seemed to burn through the book in one episode, personally!

Kaizero · « **Reply #31 on:** Tuesday 19 April 2011, 06:37:21 PM »

Already been renewed for another season.

I'm suprised by how many people like it, even by people who I presume have read the book.

None of the characters are how I imagined them really and the accents man, awful. Just felt awfully cheesy to me.

Was thinking about starting on the audiobook of the first one, should I wait until after this series airs? I also really liked the opening episode, a lot of intrigue and there's all kinds of background I want filled in on a ton of people....

Does it get a re-run?

Watched first episode the other neet, looking good so far. Liking Sparticus too. Just waiting for new Dexter.

Parky · « **Reply #37 on:** Wednesday 20 April 2011, 08:42:45 PM »

First ep was pukka. Looking forward to see how it develops.

QBG · « **Reply #38 on:** Sunday 24 April 2011, 02:07:07 AM »

Just watched it Anytime, never read the books, no idea what it was about, but I'm intrigued after watching it. Bit of a slow burner but will stick with it for a while yet.

Sean Bean looks like a bloody great badger in that outfit....................

dinotheprehistoricgeordie · « **Reply #40 on:** Sunday 24 April 2011, 09:37:45 AM »

I'm going to have to watch this when I get back to England.

I'm hoping they don't change it too much from the books: Spoiler

regarding the ridiculous number of character deaths + icky incesty stuff

Elliottman · « **Reply #41 on:** Monday 25 April 2011, 05:35:57 PM »

Really enjoyed this. Cant wait for more!!!

OCK · « **Reply #42 on:** Monday 25 April 2011, 10:00:28 PM »

Its moving way too fast.

Thought the second episode was excellent, better than the first. Would agree that things are moving quickly and some of the characters are possibly not getting the time to develop that they deserve. I don't think we will truely know how good the pacing is until all the episodes have been viewed.

Also Tyrion is definitely the best character, steals every scene he is in

mouldy_uk · « **Reply #44 on:** Monday 25 April 2011, 10:52:19 PM »

Also the only character I've been disappointed with is The Hound, definitely not scary enough. Though to be fair he's had very little to do.

AfroP · « **Reply #45 on:** Tuesday 26 April 2011, 04:29:57 PM »

2nd episode was awesome

loved the bitch slap scene. hence the change of sig

jdckelly · « **Reply #46 on:** Tuesday 26 April 2011, 05:19:21 PM »

moving a damn sight quicker than I expected but then again can't say they've rushed or skipped much
much like in the books Tyrion rocks

Parky · « **Reply #47 on:** Tuesday 26 April 2011, 06:04:58 PM »

This is brilliant.

1878 · « **Reply #48 on:** Tuesday 26 April 2011, 10:59:28 PM »

Very impressed so far.

Tempted to give the books a go now.

Mike · « **Reply #49 on:** Tuesday 26 April 2011, 11:09:46 PM »

Book people, would I enjoy this more if I finish this massive boring f***ing novel?
