I wish people would read the disclaimer and talk about events in future books in the thread dedicated to the books. Having only read the first one so far it's becoming a bit inconvenient trying to avoid major spoilers from the rest of the books without staying away from this thread altogether.

Other than including the wolves this had to be one of the harder things they had to accomplish. This part of the storyline occurs very early on in the book and so they need to get it out right away in the first few episodes. So far I think they've done a good job of establishing the intricacies of the game of thrones through out most of the families. This last episode saw the inclusion of the Tully's, Theon's family, and the good 'ol dragons.

Man I can imagine the birthing scene and dragon eggs part is going to be interesting to see how they adapted it.

I wonder if Daenerys is going to be bald after it.



+ Show Spoiler +
IIRC she's only bald for a short while tho, right? I don't remember her being bald in the later parts of the story. Just that her hair burned off. In that case they'll probably just ignore it.

That's weird. I found her incredibly annoying in the books, but think the portrayal of her on tv is almost perfect and a lot more enjoyable.

I think she's great in the role, she does come across like a woman which knows how to deal with power as a character and at the same time not dollish looking to please just with her sight. A real woman.

I read only first book. I took a wild guess it would really emphasise her resistance to flames and I would definitely like to see it done on screen, regardless if her hair actually grows back later (which I thought it wouldn't for some reason) or no.

Edit: Sorry misread

Just so that this post is not entirely useless I will say, that I really enjoy the show so far. What is deviating from my immagination is, that the Mountain has to be MUCH taller and the Hound has to be much uglier. (Yes, I like addition of House Clegane in the books, but if I start thinking too much I can't decide what characters are the coolest/best - just everything is so sound and perfect in the books)

First off, everyone who comes in here and says stuff like just wait for the next books blah blah blah is spoiling things. Even just saying that So and So is in - or not in- future books is spoilers for this series...honestly you guys really need to only post like you are watching for the first time and don't know what is going to happen.

And they can make the armies band crowds bigger. Look at the crowds in Spartacus...they are all added later and makes it look much more realistic. The hand tourney looked so tiny...not at all like I imagined it.

And then there is ghost....he needs to be in more scenes to help show the tie between him and Jon.
That is all nitpicky and I love the show.
Gooooooooooo Sparkyz!

Agreed, from the start with her treatment of J Snow I didn't like her very much. I think the actress is doing a good job with the role so far

I agree that she is quite attractive, both physically and in her character. I dig the whole mama bear protectiveness thing, and her eyes are kind of deep. I also liked her in the books. We're heavily in the minority though, judging by some of the posts here.

He allready did.

Bronn is the guy that sells his room to Tyrion when he is in the inn.

In my mind i portrayed him much younger but the books have him about the same as he appears in the show. Appearance wise anyway.

Is anyone else in my situation? I read the books years ago and now I've pretty much forgotten everything that happens. Watching the show gives me some deja vu but I still get surprised at the stuff that happens. It's weird because I usually remember books well; I think it's the soap opera style of the series that makes it easy to forget stuff.

I just wanted to inform those who haven't been too curious yet. There's loads on different tiny bits of information on HBO.com about houses, great wallpapers, even quite good screensaver, except that it could have been widescreen

Yeah, I had to read the summaries of the Chapters at "The Tower of the Hand" to get my facts straight again. That I read the books in English and not German (I was not as good as I am today) did only intensify this maze George and time created.

Holy shit, they did perfectly cast Jaime Lannister. I wasn't too impressed with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (the actor) previously, but that little scene with Jory just convinced me 100% that he is perfect for the role. I still feel Cersei isn't casted as well though.
