I had pictured wildfire as like their version of napalm. + Show Spoiler [ Book 2 spoiler] +
Cause in a clash of kings when Tyrion is inspecting the stores of wildfire the alchemists are making, they describe it as something that sticks to clothing.

I was pretty impressed with the first episode, I really think things will start to pick up once they finish the introductions and such. It did feel like they covered a lot in the first episode though, does anyone know how many episodes they're going to use to cover the first book?

Definitely want to see more of the wolves as well

Watching makes me wish I'd read the books so I'd know if they play a part or something, I know very little at the moment! One episode per week isn't enough for me!

On the Dire Wolves (iirc) - they so cute! I want one!

I've never read the books but isn't the incestual relationship a secondary concern to the fact that the queen is having sex with another man? Also, very good-looking series, but it is a bit confusing trying to keep up with all the characters and their relationships to one another. There's a lot of praise in this thread but also tons of nerd whine, which just goes to show, be careful make your target audience nerds - they are wildly difficult to satisfy.

It'll play a bigger role later in the series. Can't think of a way to go into detail without spoiling it. Just trust that the incest plays a role.

Yes the incest is rather a secondary concern - the much bigger problem is that the queen is betraying the king (other way round is socially acceptable) + Show Spoiler [BIG SPOILER] +
and the real drama unfolds when you find out that the prince and the other kids of the royal family are all fathered by jaime lannister which results in no legitimate heir to the throne


I was quite happy with the first episode - really tough to fit the whole book into a few hours. Still i hope for some more interaction with the wolfes as they are a huge sympathy factor and reflect the state of the stark family so well.

Going into this series blind, having never read the books. I enjoyed the first episode. Found it quite interesting, and I must say I was upset when that guy pushed the 10 year old kid out of the window. WTF? What was their relationship anyways? Why was it such a big deal that the boy saw them having sex?

Why the hell were the Dothraki portrayed as white people with some weird smatterings of African women? How does that make any sense at all? The Dothraki in the novel were most definitely Asiatic/Mongolian people. Again, typical American TV style to white-wash all the races and just throw in black for exoticism.

And yeah, people who are expecting literary depth in a TV show are gonna be in for major disappointment. Just look at True Blood. The novels were already smutty and romance formulaic enough as they were, HBO somehow managed to dumb them down and make them even MORE smutty.

Great to just have the visuals though. And the action scenes should be great.


Ummm, the Dothraki didn't seem white to me.


What did they look like to you then? They definitely didn't look Asiatic to me.

Thank you. I started to read the thread and I figured it out. That was messed up pushing the little kid out of the window. Any quick background information on the "white walkers"?

It wasn't messed up. He did it for love, the most altruistic reason man could ever have. How dare you slander the great House of Lannister with your foul accusations.

Any more background would be spoilers. Pretty much everything you saw about them in the episode was all you got in the book. There is more explanation coming in future episodes.

Not bad I have to say, sort of pictured the others differently in my mind though.

Dinklage is perfect as Tyrion, and the guy who plays Jamie is fantasic as well. Two of my favorite characters were casted brilliantly.

The 'white walkers' are the others. Not too much is known about them except that cold seems to emminate from them, their weapons are cold enough to shatter normal swords, they feed on the warm blood of living creatures, they reside north of the wall, and they have travelled south of the wall in the past only during the winter.

Got it, I appreciate it. I am planning on getting the books, since I'm planning on watching the show.

I hope that show will become as great as I expect it to be :D
Good complex characters, lies and scheming, action, mystery and sex and crime :D
I liked how authentic they made everything look I hope they can keep it up or make it even better

First episode fulfilled its promise. Nice work. No disappointment, maybe the dothraki a bit.
