I also don't understand why they adapted the prologue so differently. It seems like the book prologue would be a better hook since it involves a sword fight. There doesn't seem to be any benefits in not including the fight and switching who flees/gets executed. Joffrey looks far too young when compared to how much Sansa/Robb/Jon got their ages buffed. | ||

The book still carried it's own though, because of the other characters. Jaime and the Hound are both among my favourites, which made me sad when George + Show Spoiler + killed off the Hound. | ||

The show portrayed it almost as a straight-up rape (she's crying and he just forces her to her knees) whereas in the books it was at least somewhat semi-consensual. Drogo's army is also way too small, but I guess it would be quite an effort to scrounge up several thousand extras to play that scene.

I'm pretty sure in the book he just mounts her and she has no say against it. | ||

I know that Happy Endings are cliched and overdone, but Martin finally made me realize that I'd rather have them. | ||

That's kind of sort of what happens in subsequent chapters when they're traveling (but she eventually begins to consent to those too). On their wedding night it's made very clear that Drogo doesn't just savage her and is gentle with her. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I'm disappointed they changed the post-Daenerys wedding scene, where we find-out that Drogo is actually a bit of a gentleman. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I dont know all the names yet, but at the end of the episode when the queen was humping the blonde dude, what is the significance there, other than the obvious? I thought I heard him say he was her brother? or is he a prince? | ||

Hopefully most of that is the result of how the beginning of the book had to be condensed. Don't get me wrong, I like Spartacus and I like titties I was just expecting something else. | ||

Catelyn was dressed during the scene where they get the message from Lysa, whereas in the book she's definitely buck naked. | ||

It's just not gonna happen and you're definitely setting your self up for fail if you do. | ||
