Who gives a shit about the quality, were there any good memes? S1 of GOT had the peak of GOT memes with Robert Baratheon.

man I would hate to be some of you guys, way too critical about a tv show. Its supposed to be entertaining if you're not entertained don't watch it.

Some people in this thread overall are way way more negative than I've seen in other places. The scene with the medieval C-section interspersed with the violence in the tournament will eventually be viewed as a classic moment. |

Look at the characters in GoT. Obviously Tyrion carried a lot of the weight, but Varys, Bronn, Sam, Davos, Littlefinger, The Hound, Robert - these are all characters that bring a different feel to the show. This looks like you're gonna have a bunch of stoic and entitled Targaryen's with a dash of Ned nobility and Stannis obstinance sprinkled in. Plus a mis-cast Daemon. The Targaryen's just aren't as interesting as the dueling families with their histories and their different personalities shaped by time/geography, etc... It just doesn't have the depth of characters to keep things interesting. It'll have an Arya and Sansa and Robb and probably even a Jon sort of character. But those guys, while they often drove the story, didn't make the story entertaining. It was the ancillary characters and their personalities/actions that made GoT interesting. And Ros. Man oh man did Esme Bianco keep my attention... |

'Fire and Blood' is just a fairly run of the mill fantasy book - nothing much of note in there. Oh sure, there's a story arc and a climax, etc.... but it doesn't paint with the broad strokes that the ASOIF series did. It's...fine. I don't see it as viable source material for some massive TV undertaking. That's why I have more hope for the Lord of the Rings prequel; the material to mine is just better. But again - should they find a way to get Esme Bianco back in the show and keep her in various states of undress, it will cover for many sins. |

I thought it was awesome and was hoping it wouldn't end.
I'm easy to please but the CGI, sets, costume design, and acting all seemed good enough for me to stay immersed. I think not having read Fire & Blood is actually helping. I have no ****ing clue what's going to happen, just that it'll be bloody. |

I thought the first episode was pretty good. I never finished the books but I did love the show until d&d had to figure out how to end it and completely ate shit and made everyone reeruned. D&d having nothing to do with the new show is reassuring. I'm cautiously optimistic but I did lol at viserys telling rhaenyra about the white walkers and the long winter and how got handled that

Don’t overthink it gents, we got brutality, tits, and dragons in E1.
Pretty much all I ever asked for in a GOT episode. |

I think you’re right - you can’t have someone massive here. Jai Courtney has probably bulked himself out of it, for instance (but at one point would’ve been a good choice). Maybe Garrett Hedlund? Jensen Ackles? Alexander Ludwig? I dunno - not a casting director. But man, I’d have come up with literally a hundred names before I got to Matt Smith. Or here’s a thought - and hear me out on this one - Esme Bianco. Just throwing it out there. |
