Re: Game of Thrones : Season 1
I really liked the first episode. Definitely going to keep watching.
If there's anyone else like me who felt they could do with more info on the characters & the backstory, but don't want to risk Wikipedia etc. due to spoilers, then have a read of the official Viewer's Guide on the HBO website...Loads of info, without (presumably) giving too much away.

Re: Game of Thrones : Season 1
I have just watched this and thoroughly enjoyed it especially as it was without a single ad break.

Re: Game of Thrones : Season 1
Watched about 25 minutes of the first ep so far.
Looks good. Seems like a more adult version of Merlin in some ways, but enjoyable none the less.
Good to see a largely British cast.
Also, the sets are amazing. The music lends it a nicely "Epic film" type feel, and the acting is good.
Nice to see Lena Headey acting as well..

Re: Game of Thrones : Season 1
Second episode very good indeed. There really are some nasty slimely charectors.
Difficult to choose a side so far

Re: Game of Thrones : Season 1
Very good second episode. My only issue with the series so far is that it isn't always very clear how much time has progressed. Great cast & sets, though, and an extremely interesting story.

Oh, & the opening titles are brilliant. Really well done.

Re: Game of Thrones : Season 1
I'm really enjoying this so far. As much as i enjoy high fantasy games, books etc, few TV shows have done anything for me but this has outdone my expectations.

I found it a little amusing to see a former Hollyoaks actor suddenly pop up as a Dothraki slave.
