    Reading the website, it says that Robert is the eldest in his family. I thought that that the whole point of the entire Stannis story is that Robert is the middle child and thus should serve his brother.

    No, no.
    Spoiler:

    yeah Metz has it right, though most of that is in no way spoilers.

    Robert is the oldest, then Stannis, then Renly

    So i am halfway into episode 1

    Damn Tyrion has the best first appearance ever

    Also Tyrion and Jaime's joking relationship is pretty cool just from that one scene. Tru bros.

    Tyrion was awesome.

    Looking forward to seeing a lot of him this season.

    also Metz, "Stannis is the middle child, which explains a fucking lot" made me laugh


    oh Stannis

    Good show! To defy the cliffhanger ending, I went and bought the book last night on Kindle :P I like this series so far.

    I'm the newb guinea pig in our group of friends since my fiance and all his friends are HUGE fans of the series...so I guess they're using me as the control on seeing how good/bad the series is.

    I really enjoyed the first ep... granted I have a better grasp than most because I have read probably the first 7 chapters in the first book.

    I loved loved LOVED Tyrion and I really hope he has a big presence....pun not intended...in the series.

    I think it was beautifully done...although I could have done without such a high TPM index :p But yeah, I know...it's in the books and well, it *is* HBO.

    The opening credits were of course AMAZING. I want those mechanical castles!

    Very excited to see the rest of the eps

    Go then, there are other worlds than these.

    I feel like ythe nudity was used pretty well, the only time I thought it was a little much was all the random tithes hanging out during the wedding sequence.

    I mean particularly in the Dany stuff, the nudity is pretty important in regards to her character and where her personal story goes.

    And I'm not just saying that because of how Emilia Clarke's butt looks in HD goddamn

    In case you didn't catch it, because you'd have to be paying pretty close attention to the banners of the houses: the direwolf is the Stark sigil, and the stag is the Baratheon one (the king's family). You'll notice the stag was killed by the direwolf, and the direwolf was killed by the stag. Yes, that was intended symbolism right there.

    I'm not sure how the DT would translate into a movie or tv series...but I guess we'll find out.

    Edit: Yeah, I made it as far as when Dany is introduced to Khal Drogo (sp...sorry) so I understand the whole scene w/ her brother. But I'm saying as a non-reader, there were probably a few folks that were a little more than uncomfortable with the abundance of tits.

    Ratings: actually better when you take all the repeats into account!

    Over 4 million in the first night, especially considering there was an NBA playoffs game on, is actually really successful! Come on season 2 come to papa.

    So numbers for the Sunday night airings are out now

    2.2 million people watched the premiere, which is a decent number

    1.2 million watched the first encore which is a pretty amazing number (thinking the NBA playoffs pushed a lot of east coast viewers back)

    And then another 800k for the 2nd encore. So 4 million viewers total on Sunday, and that docent include the Monday night replays or the overseas numbers (preliminary reports say the UK number was huge)

    Edit: damn you simben

    Always one step ahead of you, Bale.

    Like when I made a thread first. But then yours was still kept.

    I have been plotting this ever since.

    I was very happy with the pilot. Glad to see it got the viewers. I'm pretty sure that even if the viewers start to drop, the DVD sales will still be amazing.

    I'm really curious if they saw/are seeing any noticeable change in subscription numbers due to this

    I for one added HBO the week before the first episode.

    Time rots everything. Even hope.

    No, it would have to be done right. Go back in time, grab young Clint Eastwood, and have him star as Roland.
