It's Episode 1 Re-watch Day! I'll be a little later in the day posting, so I thought I'd update this before bed to remind everyone to watch the Premiere episode and give your review here. There's also a rating poll. Now we begin our epic journey through the seasons over the next 30 weeks! With much more seasoned perspectives, it will be interesting to see what sorts of things we missed from so long ago. Things you remembered or didn't remember. What were your favorite scenes? Least favorite? What do you remember being most impressed about when you first started watching the premiere? 6 seasons later ... let the fun begin again!

Ohh, I need to get some some snacks for tonight! And I'll be super nerdy watching split screen in order to take notes.

Are we all watching this together, or whenever we have time to?

khaella , I'm thinking it's just at some point today, whenever each person can (since many of us are in different time zones) and then discussion starts on Sunday? This is a GREAT idea, Envie ! I'm in!

khaella , I'm thinking it's just at some point today, whenever each person can (since many of us are in different time zones) and then discussion starts on Sunday? This is a GREAT idea, Envie ! I'm in! You can actually start discussing anytime today khaella ... there's no rules about a set time to watch since we're all on different timezones as izzue said. Some of us may even watch it the night before (Friday nights) and start discussing it the next day. I only asked that people wait until the actual day of the re-watch schedule to start their thoughts on it so that we all have time to join in. I just finished watching myself and am writing up a full review which is not something I will do every episode, just this first one because it was so epic and iconic. It's always been on my top ten list and not just because it was the premiere for the show but because they really did such a great job with every scene, setting up the plots and stories in an easy to understand way even for non book readers which was key important for drawing in the audience and starting a fandom in the world at large outside of the books. If this premiere had gone badly, the show series could have tanked and I'm grateful for the attention to detail they gave it to earn the success of the show, both for book fans and general audience fans.

After watching this again, I can't believe how young everyone looks! This really is still one of my favorite episodes, I think it's perfect for a pilot. Poor Cat glaring at Jon though, the start of so much unnecessary hate thrown her way. I hate Tyrion's hair in this though. Dinklage feels really campy to me in this episode now. Obviously I've grown to love Tyrion a great deal, but it's almost hard to believe that from watching this.

Obviously I've grown to love Tyrion a great deal, but it's almost hard to believe that from watching this. So true! I had a hard time picking a least favorite scene for this episode for my review post (I'm still editing it!) ... all of the scenes were so well done. But I am going to say the brothel scene with Tyrion is my least favorite because of how awkwardly campy it felt as you said. Ros pretending not to know who Tyrion is and Jaime bringing in three more whores was silly and funny which I think was entirely the intention but still my least favorite scene in an episode full of amazingly great story plots. I'm also glad they fixed his hair to curly later on too.

I'm also glad they fixed his hair to curly later on too. Agreed. The brothel scene is easily the weakest part of the episode. I'm glad they made his hair curlier and less blonde as the series went on. Viserys. God, I still hate that guy. Poor Cat glaring at Jon though, the start of so much unnecessary hate thrown her way. The more they hate her, the more I love her. Same. Hate away, bitches.

What a brilliant episode this is! I love the cold open, it's perfect. And I love how different characters are being introdused to us! Ned as a serious, dutiful man, Jaime as a care free guy who only cares for Cersei, Sansa and Arya as sisters who are so very different, Jon as the nice guy (He's really nice with the little Starks, I'm swooning, Cersei as... well Cersei etc. So many traits we see in this first episode are still true with these characters 59 episodes later. I miss Mark Addy and Sean Bean, they have good chemistry on screen. And one thing I always enjoy about this episode is that Lyanna and Rhaegar are mentioned, it's subtle but it's there and it's everything. Oh my, I really miss Jason Momoa and Harry Lloyd aswell! They both did such a good job with theis roles, wish we could have kept them around longer.
