LOVING this. They picked brilliant actors for all the rolls. Especially the Lanisters.

I can't wait for the development of Jaimes character through the 2/3/4th series/books. He goes from being one of my most hated characters to my most liked.

I thought the second episode was excellent. It did a great job of capturing the atmosphere of the book

I love it so far, but I have two issues.

They casted Robb and Jon to be way too old. They are 14 in the book. They look like they are in their 20s on the show. They have beards! While they casted them too old, they kept Joffery the same age, 12, as he is in the book. Seems kinda weird too me.

I'm really looking forward to the Jon Snow plotline, I can't wait to see more of the white walkers.

I really wanted to like Joffrey too, seemed like he was going to be a sweet innocent white knight 13 yo romance kinda dude at first. All he had to do was not assault some random peasant child.

Ouch, semi-insulting the people in this thread isn't cool.

I can see why they did the age upping: for the time meant to be portrayed in the book, the responsibilities kids would have had at young ages are much higher than those we have today. Increasing the age is a good way to visually connect the characters to the amount of responsibility and the actions they take without creating a mental disconnect by seeing 12 year olds killing things.

Yeah, Robb did say Rickon is 6, while he is 3 in the book, but keeping Joffery the same age is weird. At least he looks 12 like you said.

Book:

Robb/Jon - 14
Sansa - 11
Arya - 9
Bran - 7
Rickon - 3

Show:

Robb/Jon - 18?
Sansa - 13
Arya - 9? I think she said she was 9 in the first episode
Bran - 7?
Rickon -6

Bran is 10 I believe. Gets asked in the last scene of the 1st episode.

I really really enjoyed episode 2.

Some parts of it made me feel like i was watching the first few minutes of a well scripted porno, but overall, I thought it was excellent.

The failed assassination scene was really good. Two episodes in and I already want certain characters to die as soon as possible (as in, i'm into the show- not that they "annoy" me).

Who's the dwarf they casted? I remember him from In Bruges. He seems like a really good actor.

As a huge fan of the book series I was really worried they would stuff up the TV adaption somehow. So far I have been extremely happy with how good it has all gone.

Peter Dinklage was not in "In Bruges." That was Jordan Prentice.

So... there's a lot of books... Is this going to be seven seasons long? I would kinda like that, a slow-moving show that I can follow for several years like Lost. Fast-pacing and winding up stories quickly and without cliffhangers is overrated.

Agree with you there. And I think the actor for Jaime is PERFECT

I'm brand new to the story and I'm loving it so far. I think the casting is almost perfect. For the most part it's great and where it's not... it's just off by a little. I've only listened to the first few chapters of the audiobook and I think I'm just going to watch the show instead. There are other books I'm currently reading.

But I think the king was described a much more imposing figure. Even though he gained weight, I got the impression that he was supposed to be taller than Eddard Stark. Also, I agree with people about the age difference between the sons. I think the king's son was supposed to be 12, but look just as old as the other boys which annoyed them.
