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.

I have just watched this and thoroughly enjoyed it especially as it was without a single ad break.;):D

Re: Game of Thrones : Season 1
 

Ditto ,shows a lot of promise

Re: Game of Thrones : Season 1
 

Looks like something I need to take a peek at.

Re: Game of Thrones : Season 1
 

make sure the kids don't watch it ;)

Re: Game of Thrones : Season 1
 

LOL. My kids are all old enough.

Its certainly .... um ... full on.

Interesting first ep, naughty brother eh.

I'll be keeping with it for now.

Re: Game of Thrones : Season 1
 

Reminder:

Episode 2 is now available, for those watching in pace with the US.

For those at CF who have Sky Atlantic, episode 2 will be shown tonight.

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
 

Waiting to acquire my episode without intervals later on.;)

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 have my copy ready to watch on my memory stick tomorrow.:D

Re: Game of Thrones : Season 1
 

Agreed

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.

Re: Game of Thrones : Season 1
 

Really enjoying this now. Last nights/this night episode very good
