    My Watch Begins Tonight :D

    Night gathers, and now my watch begins.
    It shall not end until my death… I shall live and die at my post.
    I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls.
    I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men.
    I pledge my life and honor to the Night’s Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

    I was pretty happy with it. I thought it looked sensational.

    Jaime Lannister- "The things i do for love" :D

    The whole Cat trying to talk Ned out of going south is a bit odd to me considering in the book she was pushing him to go and Ned was hesitant but whatever not that big of a deal

    Overall I was really happy and I can't wait for next week!

    It was pretty true to the book! Not what I had in mind for most of the characters but I think as the story builds, it'll work! Can't wait to see the next one!

    I read all four in succession so I don't even remember where the first one ends. I hope they get a good turnout for this one and go on to make more!

    Been thinking about it all day and I think i'm going to have to watch it again tonight.

    The guy playing Viserys did a great job. I really got into him more then i thought i would.

    I did not like the opening credit sequance with the gears etc. I did like how it moved around on the map to show you where you were going in that episode.

    Its awesome how spot on they got Arya and she did not even say more then two words the entire show.

    The Hound's helm looked awesome.

    Just read a few reviews. Could they have made Jeoffrey actually attractive? Sansa is supposed to be falling for that little, sorry to be mean, but very not nice(ok sorta ugly) looking kid? Or am I blind? I don't think the characters that are supposed to be so beautiful actually are(except Dany).

    Are you a really big fan of the book, intodeep? It might be that your expectations are really high.

    I've only read the first book and I honestly can't say I have any complaints at all. I thought it was the best book to screen adaptation I've seen since Shawshank.

    Yeah I'm a pretty big fan of the books :oops: , but i've only read them once (last year)
    I really wasn't trying to bitch. Overall I liked it. There are a few things i could nitpick about but they did good. I think they just have to make sure new viewers can connect with the characters.

    I have read the books at least 10 times, and I couldn't have been happier. The credit sequence was amazing. All the characters were pretty much nailed, and the sets were fantastic. The ratings could have been better, I hope it makes past one season.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    i didn't read the books or anything, but so far i'm very impressed

    seems like theres more than enough cool characters and locations for this to last a long time

    and some medieval hotties :twisted:

    I haven't read the books but a friend of mine has and convinced me to watch the series.
    I really enjoyed the first episode! I'm probably going to have to watch it again so I can absorb all of the characters (names, roles, etc.).

    Can we assure this discussion does NOT include any spoilers for those who are watching, and never read the book???

    I can see how someone might let something slip, so I ask the book readers out there to please be careful before posting!

    That part bothered me too. It completely changed Catelyn's character. I'm sure they had to do it for the sake of the narrative, to show Ned's divided loyalties. Overall, I was so impressed with the show. They really had a lot of exposition to deal with to introduce the characters and places and they did very well although I think multiple viewings will be in order ;)

    The Wall just blew me away. The intro credits were interesting - not at all what I expected or perhaps would have chosen, but the more I think it about it, the more perfect it is. Like the inner machinations of a clock . . . time ticking, behind the scenes maneuvering, etc. Looking forward to the next episode :D

    That is a great point because things happen in the book you dno't want to be spoiled on. To me the WTF moments in the book are part of what makes it so great.

    Like when Jaime pushed Bran out the window at the end of the first episode i was like holy shit that dude just tossed a little kid out like a bag of garbage on the garbage pick up day!
    edit: oh yeah and that whole realization that the twins are banging each other was kind of weird too :D
