Final Post

Watching the first episode of the series had scenes that I imagined would be in the first episode but also scenes I pictured differently. The Tyrion sex scene, which I don't think was even in the book, was a good way to introduce Tyrion as a character. Tyrion may be a dwarf and you wouldn't normally think of him as a sex fanatic. While the scene wasn't in the book, it was a cool adaption. This one particular episode seems to cover about 150 pages in one episode. I heard that the 1st season goes much faster to those who have read the book than to those who haven't. I think the tv show was necessary than a movie because you can expand on detail when having multiple hour long episodes. This allows for more details closer to the book. The change in character's age is for the better. I think both the show and the novel can have their own adaptions in that part and still get across the message. I can't wait to finish the season!
