Yeah they were definitely foreshadowing some future peculiar behavior in EP1.

After watching the episode my impression is that it was supposed to begin with that dragon flight over the city. Then a group of dumb ****ers watching it convinced themselves that the show was all about a younger version of Dany so they added the exposition.

That was....not good.
I figured with Sapochnik directing and them really needing to try to win back some capital with the fan base, we'd get something interesting. We did not. And the guy playing Viserys is just a really bad actor.

And I just don't think Matt Smith is the right guy to cast for him at all.

viserys is a total pussy

They continued to miss what’s important. There were no Sean Bean killer performances, no magnetic Mark Addy banter, no Dinklage wit. Daemon was interesting. Aema was compelling. The rest they missed on. I think some of it was trying to be stoic (see Sean Bean), but it wasn’t good. Thats not to say it is a disaster. The whole birthing bed is our battlefield and the. The intercut birth with savage knight competition was damned good television. And the funeral scene carried weight. But there is an interesting enough world they have access to and hopefully grab hold of they’ll get some rope. |

10M viewers for the first episode. On par with much of the S7 and S8 viewership numbers for GoT pre-pandemic, which is pretty impressive.
It certainly looks like this will be HBO's next powerhouse show. |

I've seen exactly one episode. The opening was stupid, and I still watched it through to the end. Meanwhile here you are white knighting a TV show for some reason. Get a grip.

I thought it was pretty good. Started a little "meh" but by the end, I was fully sucked in. Had most of the usual GOT elements. Liked how the music paid homage to the original, especially during the ending credits.

Big GOT fan, never read any of the books. Completely underwhelmed by the first episode.
Dragons/CGI were weak. Acting not very strong and character development was poor. If you are going to have that c-section scene it would help if there was a little emotional investment in the king and queen.
