I found the acting a bit ****ty. ie. when Ned and Robert are talking in the crypt, when they find the wolves, etc.
The Danerys, Jaime and Tyrion bits were fine though. I won't miss

Some scenes will be either ****ing amazing or ****ing terrible. I've heard the critics say These first few episodes suck and it picks up in 5th-6th.

I was expecting something like this to be true. It would take a few episodes to get the ball rolling on things.
Which is why I wished they'd made a longer premiere, or a mini-series run on consecutive days. It's a pretty big story to get going 1 hour/1week at a time.
I try and imagine what Battlestar: Galactica would have been like if they started off with a 1 hour episode and not a Mini-Series.

Robert is terrible, I think.
The man they have portraying him just too weak and soft spoken for what I envisioned. Robert, to me, was always very loud and kinda a mean drunk and and and ...scary..
not the guy they have for the hbo series :[
BUT ITS OKAY i still like the show anyway

No ****.
I imagined Tyrion as a malformed, malignantly cynical dwarf with more of an Irish/Scottish brogue. Also fatter. With more red in his hair.

I might be wrong but I believe 5 million for a subscription channel is considered very good.

I think it was agreed upon to use spoilers because this is the TV show thread in which some people are watching the TV show but have not read the books.

Bound to happen. Everyone has their own mind's eye picture of characters and settings. This is a tv adaptation. I know you're not saying the show is awful because the characters don't match your imagination exactly but this is just a pet peeve of mine.
Besides, there is no one better to play Tyrion that Peter Dinklage. Period.

I believe he's an icelandic DJ or something like that. But thing was he came in to audition for Hodor, said "HODOR" a few times and they were like "You're ****ing Hodor if we have ever seen him."

See I like Addy's Robert, it's not exactly how I would picture him back in his skinny warhammer punching in Rhaegars armor days. Yet in his fat drunken party days, thats how I picture him. Although Addy is a little short, camera work can fix that.

he's described in the book as a deformed midget with differently colored eyes
not really open to interpretation. could have at least made him lumpy

Of course it can change, it's a tv adaptation, which requires casting of people whom can act, and act well.
1. Stunted little man, half his brother's height
2. Head too large for his body, squashed-in face beneath a shelf of brow
3. One green eye and one black one, hair so blond it seems white
I don't recall lumpy.

it would just make people uncomfortable
arya also isn't exactly "horse-faced" in this version. it's a natural consequence that the portrayals aren't as extreme as they are in the book
i agree with the sentiment that robert was disappointing
