Premier: Game of Thrones

So, HBO finally saw the premier of it's new series, The Game of Thrones, based on the book series Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin.

I was rather impressed, as they managed to hit the biggest parts of the early scenes while being almost verbatim to the book. Outside of a small few nitpicks, I can say that I'm relieved that it's not the catastrophe that Sword of Truth was to the Wizard's First Rule series.

So, fellow Escapists, if you watched it, what were your initial opinions?

My biggest nitpick was that the Other's weren't done exactly to the book, but I think I can let it slide.

I really liked it. Like you said, there are inevitably nitpicks to be found, but overall they did a great job. The costumes and sets are so detailed and beautiful. The actors bring the great characters right to life. Just awesome.
