G of T eps

After watching the beginning of the first episode of Game of Thrones I really want to watch the whole series. The one thing though that I didn’t care for very much was how old they made Robb & Jon look. I don’t know why, but I always pictured them much younger appearing and they literally look like they are 20 some years old. I found it interesting though how they created the scene with Cersei & Jaime with the funeral going on in the background. They discussed Jon Arryn’s life and then mentioned something about him telling which was definitely not in the book and I think if it was it would have made more questions arise because I personally did not see that none of Cersei’s kids were from Robert until late almost when Ned outright said it. So it creates some suspense for the entire season now for people to wonder what exactly he knew about those two. I'm sure the rest of the series is just as good as what I have seen so far, it really was made very well. Even the direwolves were all multicolored and then there was Jon’s who was white as snow and just a little runt. I think it played pretty closely to the books and most likely is exactly what Martin wanted when he decided to finally allow his books to be made into a visual media. I am actually excited to see Daenery’s and how they portray her even though I know some parts will probably be very extreme. I have heard that the show really is bold and I guess that is what you have to expect when you create something for people to watch. That is what sells and really makes people want to watch it. Overall I really enjoyed the book and can’t wait to watch more of the show.
