HBO - Game of Thrones SPOILERS INSIDE. you have been warned

[strife]

That doesn't bode well for the series.

Why not? Jerome Flynn was amazing as Bronn and added a whole new dimension to the character. I couldn't stand the whiny Davos in the books, but Liam Cunningham has turned him into an awesome character. Actors creating something from nothing in the books bodes well for the series in my opinion, especially considering how boring the last 2 books were. Hopefully the actors can carry that material and make it better.

The casting for this series has been phenomenal. I can't really think of any character where I felt the acting was weak on them(at least not at the moment) and the acting of the Lannisters in particular has been fantastic.

The worst thing about this series is that there's only 10 episodes a year! I watched episodes 1 through 8 in 2 days and am ready for more, and I already know what's going to happen!
