I hope that just means they are going to let those storylines breathe a bit by having longer, focused scenes.

Where's Barristan's walking stick, season ruined.
We'll probably get one har, like we got a single "you know nothing, jon snow" last season...

I feel the same. I think that's just the difference in medium, to be honest. We get more background information in the books.

US I got dish like 4 months ago from garbage Time warner just use them for internet which is basically robbery... 80 a month for 30/5..
no other option... dish was like 160 off meh bill lol I was paying 300+ to time warner for all the movie channels..+ the internet, dish is like 13$ a month for hbo... thats a good deal for me... TBBT is the only show I watch besides movie channels so its ok for me for a few months... this show is worth it.I got a little freaked out when the leg came out and I thought it was a spider.

Ros: Allow me this forced exposition.
WHY DOES SHE STILL EXIST
The episode ended pretty great though. No Strong Belwas fucking sucks though, FUCK. The time used for that worthless Ros scene could have been used for Belwas.

Cannot unsee. Sort of ruined for me too now.

Just to be absolutely clear, you don't have to actually cancel. If they tell you that you can't have HBO for free, you just politely say "okay"

If you're willing to pay for it though, I don't know why I'm trying to talk you out of it
I agree with all of this. I don't know where they're going with her. Is it going to be (all books spoilers)
Her, Littlefinger and Sansa at the Eyrie? Why bother? Or is she the one they're going to kill at the boat because she knows too much and is an untrustworthy..well....whore? Instead of Ser Dontos.

Didn't Barristan betray Ned Stark?
I think you answered your own question. =P
Seriously though. I don't mind her. I don't think we really appreciate in here how hard it is to fit something this broad on TV. Ros also gives a tangible personality to the weakest people in the world that GRRM describes in such detail in the book. ASoS
Ros recommending Shae protect Sansa from Littlefinger in their exchange was a nice touch in terms of foreshadowing Littlefinger's plans.
In regards to why:
There's a specific role she could fill at the Aerie.
I feel like some of you book readers are extrapolating way too much about how you'd feel if you hadn't read the book. There's no way you'd know. I didn't read the book, but that scene certainly felt tense to me. I actually thought the guy in the black hood was going to attack her!

thanks for the tip nonetheless. ;p
glad I'm lazy and have and will not read the books... I may later though...did the same with HP.... watched the movie first... but it sucks though because you just know everything including what they didn't show....
lol wish these episodes where like 2 hours or something... was so pissed at the end when it went to black.. amazing how fast an hour can go by, dat dragon scene was boss as fuck..

Nope. He was gone already when that happened.
She definitely has to be
taking Ser Dontos's role edit: or marrillion or however you spell it as someone else said

I think that's extremely likely, especially because
Dontos
is now a double agent for Varys and I don't think she's clever enough to stop Littlefinger from figuring that out
Giving Ros a scene where she establishes communication with Shae isn't just a throwaway scene.

Great opening. Hyped for S3.
I do have to say that every time I see Danaerys I get pissed at GRRM all over again for ADWD.
Huh. Speaking of Ros, I always thought (series)
she would fill the role for fake Arya later on, being close to LF and since no other pointless young woman/girl (ie Sansa's friend whose name escapes me) has been introduced yet. I feel like they wouldn't have included Dontos last season if he wasn't going to help Sansa escape ... he still might, though, they still have a whole season and a half to build up his role ...

Liked the episode, obviously a slower start to the season. Can't wait for Episode 2. As someone who hasn't read the books, but had devoured the ASOIAF wiki.
Loved the look of the giant, Tyrion/Tywin and Selmy's entry. Jon finally had a scene in which I liked him. The reveal didn't feel too consequential. Trying to remember who the people trying to kill the mother of dragons are.

I really enjoyed the premiere, some of the scenery was really great and the show obviously looks better than ever.
As far as book > tv adaptation

No problem with shuffling Qyburn's intro, it already gives him a feel of his necromancer ways being the only survivor.
Glad they didn't stretch out the Barristan reveal, and Davos/Stannis while condensed still was pretty true to the book.
I'm starting to think Ros will take the fall for Dontos, not Marillion as others have pointed out.

I love the casting for this show, everyone portrayed their characters so right in this episode. Charles Dance is a boss

Well, they botched Mance's introduction, but for the most part it was a good season premier. I loved the Astapor scenes, the Davos stuff, and Tyrion/Tywin's conversation. Margaery was great, and it was a pleasant surprise to see a giant. I wasn't expecting one to appear this soon.
I wasn't too thrilled about the change of
I hope that gets rectified in the next couple of weeks. I definitely think the reduced focus helped them keep up the quality. Although I missed seeing Bran, Arya and Brienne, it was nice that we only had a few different storyline we were jumping between.

I liked Cercei's shout out to the book with the line about Tyrion's scar... "I'd heard your nose was cut off".
The actor cast as Ser Barristan Selmy is so spot on. Every scene he makes an appearance is such high quality. For example, his release from duty scene in season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xujehgD_lz0 This episode was soooooo good.
just watched it. the tywin and tyrion interaction was perfect. the mance scene was alright, ciaran hinds is a great actor but i don't know if he fits the role well, at least how i pictured him. stannis and davos come off as idiots in the show, though the actors are really good. more ros is terrible, the actress who plays sansa kind of sucks, and whoever plays shae is completely awful
the ending scene really didn't live up to how i imagined it in the book. no strong belwas hurts a lot too. the scene where he's dismissed from the king's guard is one of my favorite scenes in the show, but his reveal to daenrys was disappointing to me - maybe it was the writing, i don't know
