Seems like a silly thing to omit.

 Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

In other news, HBO just confirmed that Season Two filming will start on July 25th, just one day shy of last year's start; also, there will be a Game of Thrones panel at Comic-Con:

Quote
What about the scene where you're eating the horse’s heart? What was that actually made out of?

That was one of those amazing scenes that you get as an actor that there’s just no acting required — at all. It was disgusting! They promised me that it would taste similar to a gummy bear and it definitely didn’t. It was kind of like … the best way to describe it is sort of a congealed jam kind of thing. On the outtakes, there will be me heaving into a bucket. It’s such a reflex, when you taste something that’s just so revolting, you kind of instantly just want to get rid of it. It’s safe to say that I didn’t eat lunch that day.

Ugh. "The things we do for acting".

No, she is saying it was stage craft effects (i.e. some sort of molded gelatin) but that it was disgusting anyways.

I started reading the series about 13 years ago, and have only gotten 2 additional books added in that time.  Your bitching about having to wait for Song of Ice and Fire material is quaint.   Ohhhhh, I see.

Very solid episode (minus maybe the 2 minutes seen of old Maester and Roz, aka the HBO sexposition scene)

I started rereading the series (I only read up to book 3 when book 3 first came out) and I'm coming up on book 4 and I can't wait.  So I still have two books of fresh story waiting for me.   Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

The season needs to be 12-15 eps long.

This is my biggest complaint. Especially going forward as the books get longer. I would say that 16 episode season would allow for much more of the nuance from the book to be shown.

Great last episode, except for the Roz pat, which felt forced and pointless.

I'm quite certain that was added in for the show.

I was unsure of the show after episode one, but it picked up quite nicely through it's whole run. I think a lot of the issues I found with it stem entirely from it only being 10 episodes.

I think it was a good bit of addition. Not sure if old man wang through robe was necessary, but I liked that it showed even the old Master was acting a part. It gave a lot of weight to the earlier scene with Lord Bailish and the Eunuch, showing they aren't the only ones who are plotting in the court.

Hay look, in that interview, they say they intentionally portrayed the weeding night as rape. Imagine that.

In other news, I'm only up to like Episode 3 or 4.

Having not read the books. Rome, Spartacus, and a number of others were better pilots.  I'm not felling this, seems like some generic fantasy, oh, and rapeings.

If you stick with it, I'd like you to post your feelings after the 6th episode has aired.  It's a dense plot with lots of characters so I'm actually kinda envious of people who haven't read the books.

Still MEH.

I feel like I have seen this story many many times before.


Also, They are still Elves.  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?  Just Dragon worshiping ones.

I seriously do not think the spoiler seen a mile away will change it. I do like the production though. The acting is good, but I already like many of the actors in it, its the really really generic story I have issue with so far.

Which I cant really understand, since GoT is probably the least generic fantasy I've ever read.

Which is also why you should probably watch the whole season before passing judgement (not just for the spoiler you mentioned).

Covering my eyes and not reading any of the rest of this thread because, as usual, I'm many weeks behind the rest of you with this.

Just watched 3rd episode and I am loving this, a lot. Beautifully filmed, superb sets, locations and costumes. Attention to detail is fantastic, the acting is excellent and the dialogue is funny and snappy and sharp. The story feels a tiny bit generic and predictable, but I'm hoping to be proved wrong. The characters feel slightly stereotypical and right from episode 1 you could tell who was a goodie and who was a baddie and in exactly what way, but again, hoping to be proved wrong with that. Doesn't mean I don't think the characters are well done, they are, they're just a bit transparent.

Regardless, it's highly enjoyable and has more quality and skill in a single scene than (for instance) the BBC manage in an entire series of any of their showcase productions.

The characters start out in their more obvious roles through book 1 (season 1 TV wise), but characters end up develop in different directions than expected (imo).  This might be a bit weaker with the TV series, however, since with the rush to cram the entire first book into 10 episodes, they've had to skip over a lot of the more subtle traits of each character, and their development.
