If I may propose something, however, it's that we attempt to separate episode spoilers and book spoilers. I don't think we can really get around the occasional comment on the books, and I personally don't want anyone's experience of either the show or the books ruined by an errant spoiler. Just a suggestion, so nobody clicks a spoiler thinking it's from an episode they just watched, only to find out it's from Storm of Swords or something.
Back on the topic of the show, I thought it was amazing how they "nailed" the casting. Virtually every character was just how I imagined them. I'm really glad Jaime was well-cast--he's one of my favourite characters from the series.
Overall, the production value seems very high; it seems a lot of money was pumped into the series.

In all fairness to the show, I thought it was very well produced & acted and I've got almost no interest in medieval sword fighting fantasy stories but I can't believe the reviews that this show has gotten based on what I saw.
