It looks excellent. I'm really considering getting HBO just to see it, though I have to find out if there's some way I can watch the previous episodes (via reruns or on-demand or whatever).

I remember trying to read the first book but could just not get into it. It jumped around far too much for my liking.

I know for a fact that the previous episodes are on-demand, so no worries there.
 
I was bored several Sunday's ago and watched the first 3 episodes on demand. Best show on television for sure. I spoiled the entire thing for myself because I'm too impatient and read the gist of what's gone on in the first four books. The subsequent episodes haven't been any less entertaining to me.

My favorite part is the unnecessary and over the top graphic scenes in each episode.

If I were to explain some examples, anyone with common sense would think I were making it up. It's pretty funny when put into print.

I will post some highlights of my favorite unnecessarily graphic scenes, in order *****SPOILERS*******

- the gladiator beheading his own horse.

- the doggystyle rape scene between Danyerus and Drogo

- the slurping sound effects in the BJ scene

- when that guy was sitting at his desk writing something talking about the 'old days' while taking breaks to direct two whores into doing anal.

- Danyerus wolfing down a horse's heart while smearing blood all over her face, and swallowing the vomit induced from eating a raw horse's heart.

- viserys getting his arm broken than receiving his golden crown...he's no dragon

that part was satisfying, at least for me

i like the actor who plays Tyrion Lannister, "A Lannister always pays his debts"
 
I very much enjoyed this King Robert scene:

*Robert backhands Cersei*
Cersei: .... I'll wear this as a badge of honor.
Robert: Be quiet or I'll honor you again.

Also Syrio's lessons with Arya are really satisfying.

some other gifs i'd like to post but i'd probably get banned ;)
 
A few random thoughts on tonight's episode:

-They seem to be making Robb into a bit more of a man... more sure of himself. I suppose that goes with aging the kids up, but I was surprised to see him saying lines that were Catelyn's in the book (especially "this is Sansa's hand, but Cersei's words").
-I was a bit disappointed that Barristan Selmy didn't beat up a few gold cloaks on his march out as he did in the book. That was just one of those little things that I was hoping to see.
-They kept the random Hodor nudity? Really? I could've gone my whole life without seeing that.

I'm looking forward to the introduction of Shae next episode. Should be good.
 
Yeah, I was hoping for an heroic (did I do that right?) rescue. My wife explained that it had to be that way for plot reasons. I guess she's right, as usual.
 
A naive part of me thought Aria was gonna run up, somehow steal a bow and arrow from a grown man, and shoot the executioner in the face. Stark would then fight off the entire city with a battle axe and escape to his army. FFF. Why does Bean always have to die?

They were probably able to get him partly because he knew it would only be a one-season committment. It was kind of a great situation for HBO that way... they get a big-name draw to suck people in, but don't have to keep paying him.

But the fact that important people die is part of what makes the books so appealing. After Ned dies, you know that no one is safe, and that ups the tension all-around.

I'm looking forward to the finale. I've read the books and know what the closing scene must be... and I think it'll have people very excited for season 2.
