I'm really impressed with the acting so far. That's usually the kiss of death for fantasy on film.

I'm not going to say much now, as I'm still kind of digesting it. They really have the look of everything down. So now it's going to come down to the acting being consistently good.

I'm not that concerned with the deviations from the book. I understand the decisions that get made when filming literature. Sometimes you write something for the screen and it doesn't come out right, so you write something different. Sometimes you try things and they don't work (e.g., maybe they did try the contacts on the Targaryens and it looked silly/fake).

I've enjoyed the entire production. The soundtrack north of the Wall was eerie and spacious. Quite nice. Just one of many examples of what I notice and pay attention to.

Oh, and Sean Bean rules.

Anyway... SQUEE!
