Crap nevermind. I cannot show you how to do the spoiler thing without doing the spoiler thing, LOL. 

{spoiler} but use brackets instead.

The nip cut was grosssss. I want to see more Robb Stark and Jon Snow.

I was watching! I frantically called Comcast when I realized our trial was over and we wouldn't be able to watch. Now I get HBO for a whole year and it's only $5 a month. I'm thrilled.

I liked the episode but it seemed like t was just a refresher for what each character has been up to.

The truth is always either terrible or boring.

And the truth is not much happened in this premiere.

I'm 15 minutes in and already gnashing my teeth over the stuff they have changed.

From the books.

I think having read the books is a definite impediment to enjoying the show. I know I would be enjoying it a lot more if I wasn't constantly distracted by things that didn't happen or happened differently.

It's not really bothering me.  I like knowing the addition details and backstory, but frankly, there is SO MUCH going on in the books that I only catch the major differencs.  Like the missing Reed children.

I'm crotchety.

It's been so long since I read the books I'm fuzzy on the details. But I think they are making Margaery a bigger character than she was in the books, right?

Yes, she was barely even addressed in the books I think. She definitely didn't have her own plot line, she was just kind of mentioned occasionally in Sansa's.

I gave up long ago on shows/movies following the books. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Lol.

I think GoT has to be changed drastically to streamline everything.

She became pretty prominent after she was engaged to Joffrey, but yeah, they're definitely giving her more airtime.
