    Vin, how well are you following without the benefit of having read the books? Hard for me to really imagine, as I know these charachters to well, and I know what is going to happen to them. I am sure that not having that knowledge makes the experience very different. I will tell you that the following characters are perfectly cast and fit how they are presented in the books to a "T".

    Ned Stark
    Tyrion (The Imp)
    Jaime Lannister
    Arya Stark
    Jon Snow

    Some characters are a bit of a disappontment, altho they are growing on me. The "Hound" for one, is not nearly as frightening / intimidating a character as he should be. And Cersei Lannister isn't nearly as hot as I would have imagined.....but she is certainly enough of a bitch.

    Sorry, I'm such a friggin geek for this story.
    pretty good cause I'm not retarded.

    shows like these with a massive character list tend to get a little nuts at first but you settle down nicely. Rome was horrendous for 4 episodes (all the senators looked alike!) but turned out to be one of my favorites series.

    I'll watch anything on HBO. They have a great track record.

    The first character I hated was Joffrey. You could tell right away that

    spoiler!:

    that he was not Robert's son and I suspect he's actually the freak offspring of Jamie and Cersei. And I hate the look of him.

    the only group that confuses me is the ones left defending winterfell. I guess mostly cause nothing really has happened yet.

    Tyrion is one of my favorite characters. Peter Dinklage should win an emmy.

      A few more doors opened lastnight. Things should start to get interesting.
      We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.

        Intense night, wasn't it?

        I hate to say it, but the nudity is getting a bit out of hand. I don't need to see a guy running down the road with his ding-aling-a-swingin. And the scene with the two girls(while hot as hell and perfect porn were I in the mood for it) is just too much. It's the HBO "we want to shock you" influence, but it is not needed in this storyline, and IMO actually detracts from it when you get so over the top.

        ever heard of a spoiler, Fresh?:
        But Littlefinger's betrayal, Drogo's rave out and the introduction of Tywin Lannister were great moments last night.


        I'm going to move this thread to the Entertainment forum at this point, if anyone wants to continue discussions about it.

          They are building the tension nicely in this series. If you can keep all the freakin' characters straight, it's really GOLD! (I'm talking TPC like).

            how many rounds of gold?

            I have yet to watch last night's episode. Was hoping no one would spoil it.

                    So here's what I don't understand, how come the acting style of Bitch Lannister is to look like she's on SNL and stifling a laugh?

                      I get ya, but that kind of fits in with her character. She's prettier and smarter than everyone around her, and that includes her own family.

                        Why doesn't Joffrie have either a third eye or a third limb? Also FRESH, she mentions her "kids". How many does she have? It's tough to tell when watching.

                          she probably doesn't let the ones with the third eye or limbs out from under the stairs.

                              She has a younger son, Tommen, and a daughter as well.

                                Well, the story has yet to be finished. but I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for that one.
