Just finished the first episode. It was basically exactly what I was expecting, and held my interest. Will continue to watch.


How did you watch it?
I plead the fifth. But I assume the same way the other posters above me watched it today.

The Long Night is the Battle of Winterfell? Despite watching it live, I feel like I still haven't actually seen it.

Holy **** that was great. Not sure why anyone would think it's slow even though it's episode 1.

Seemed ok, except the hair seemed a bit overdone.

Retcon of "song of ice and fire" seems gratuitous

This was my only annoyance except I just read an article that claims GRRM said this to the show runners. If true, I definitely don't mind it.

Better than I expected after the mess that was the last GOT year. Pleasantly surprised even though the reviews had been good.
This is probably recency bias on my part, but it seems like they took a lesson on from BCS. The prequel can be more character and detail driven because people already know the world and want that deeper dive or nostalgia. And the new characters seem rich and well written to this point.

They did such a good job of introducing the characters. This show is gonna be so good especially because they established early how flawed the Targaryens are. I think it was a perfect start

Is Matt Smith going to die soon? He seems totally miscast for this role.

Maybe, but it seems to be the same prop from GoT. Also it seems that nobody writing about the episode tonight saw that blurb from the show runner. Every single article/video I can find tonight are saying it is the catspaw dagger.

The same dagger is also in a book at the citadel.



Maybe it is not the dagger, but there are too many things that line up for it to not be.

My guess is it is, and we will eventually get a name for it as it seems like a pretty important dragon glass dagger.

First episode is not bad at all. Definitely checked all the GoT boxes: blood, guts, dragons, tits, and dong.

I thought Targs were incestuous. Why doesbt the uncle just marry the princess?

Also, a lot of unattractive people cast for this.

I honestly thought it was a very good episode. Definitely makes me interested in the series again. I'm excited to see where they take this.

If interested in a breakdown. Emergency Awesome does a good job of explaining what is happening and differences from the books, etc.

Not sure if it was just my HBO or what, but the picture was so dark and muted.
