I'm behind the times on TV. I don't watch it, so I only catch up on shows when they hit Netflix or Amazon or, in this case, when my brother buys season one on DVD.
So I finally watched the first two episodes of GoT last night. My thoughts:
1. Did I enjoy it? Yes.
2. I felt like the first two episodes moved too quickly through material in the books, at the expense of character development and motivation.
3. I like all the actors, and the costumes and scenery all look fitting.
4. Daenerys was naked a lot more than I recalled from the books (though to be fair, I did read the first one some time ago). Not necessarily a complaint, just an observation.
5. The guy who plays Joffrey is doing a good job of making me hate him on screen as much as I did in the books.
I'll continue watching the episodes and see how Season 1 pans out. I've read the books so there are no big surprises waiting for me (at least I hope not; I'd prefer they follow the books more or less).
