Am I missing something? How is there not a thread on this yet?
Anyway, the first episode is pretty good. Hopefully at least 2 of the big 3 big teases in book 5 occur in the show.

Also if you watched the leaked episodes, no discussing them, where to find them, or spoilers from them here.
Anyway, enjoyed the episode. Was excited to see what changes were coming, and interested to see how Tyrion and Varys work with Denarys.

The premier was a little underwhelming but I'm still really excited for the season.

I absolutely love the size of Jon Snow's testicles right now. I mean he's getting to the point where he does whatever he wants. The Wildlings will follow him for what he did, and I suppose he'll follow Stannis in order to get his home back and avenge his brothers death. I still think Stannis is the biggest joke of all the suitors for the throne. He's a charisma vacuum from a character standpoint and he's of the Cersei mold where I genuinely don't believe, within the boundaries of the world they live in, that nobody has killed him yet. At least they've latched his story onto the Jon Snow wagon so that it's not a gigantic waste of energy.
Tyrion and Khaleesi is extremely interesting to me. Tyrion serving as hand to the Queen would certainly be something if they combined their efforts to go run down his sister. She needs to get those dragons in check though.
Good episode imo. I'll be interested to see more of the Martells since I was such a big fan of the Red Viper. Really excited to see Arya's journey develop more. I'm intrigued to see how she could be worked back into the main story longterm.

I love how the dragons are done with Daenerys. It's the equivalent of a head coach benching and alienating their best players to send a message and losing the locker room.

Loved the episode. Jon Snow putting his balls out on table at the end was awesome. Stannis was an idiot for killing Mance to be honest. Why would the Wildlings ever follow him if he killed their king? Also really excited to see Tyrion and Varys meet up with Dany later in the season.
Was disappointed by the lack of Arya, but hopefully this means we'll see a lot of her next episode.

Just finished the first episode. Pretty good in that it outlined where most characters are, and we got a pretty big event at the end.
Can't call where the series is going, especially with Brienne, Bolton and Sansa. Looking forward to it.

I'm intrigued to see how she could be worked back into the main story longterm. Jon is the best character imo. He's got the best balance between a good heart, a smart head, a strong body and a good position. Tyrion is the only person who comes close. In fairness I do like Stannis - IMO he is the one true king, and he does have the realm's best interests at heart which is more than you can say of the Lannisters and certainly no less than Dany, who has none of the political acumen, military strategy or general intelligence of Stannis. She is also really quite arrogant, as shown by her constant refusal to believe literally everyone when they tell her that her father was mad and that Ned may have been justified in attacking him after he killed his brother and father. Anyway, you can't hate Stannis more than the Boltons, who he clearly intends to attack. None of the Martells are as good as Oberyn, although I do like Doran for totally different reasons.

What book does season 5 fall into? Books 4 and 5, since those books ran simultaneously. Though there are multiple big differences.

I was a little underwhelmed by the first episode, maybe because Brandon Stark was a character I really wanted to see more of and he won't be in this entire season.

I loved the first episode. Tyrion and Varys hanging out, some cool scenes with Dany, Jon Snow being awesome. I'm really intrigued as to where we're going from here. I'm not watching the leaked episodes though. I decided it would be better to wait a week between each one that marathon four of them then wait a month.

They ran through so much of his stuff quickly to get him out of the way. Don't get me wrong though, I'm okay with it. His chapters are such a drag. Sometimes the same goes for Dany. Last night tho, Jaqen Hagar!

Nice that we got Jaqen last night and for a heavy portion of the episode to be focused on Arya. Dany obviously needs Tyrion more than ever now. It really didn't make sense not to give the other guy a trial after saying he was being executed for not letting the other guy have a trial. I guess maybe I don't fully understand her law haha. At least Daario got to kill someone. Drogon returning was some silver lining as well. I like Jaime and Bronn setting off together. They don't have Tyrion and Bronn chemistry from a banter standpoint but I think together they make a pretty formidable pair in a fight. The locket on the snake head was pretty badass. Cersei just doesn't live on the same planet as everyone else though. She's ing crazy. Seems like Jaime was using Myrcella as a way out of town imo. The vote, while a bit predictable, was still awesome to see play out. Thought the speech by Sam was great, and Stannis dangling the Stark name over Jon's head was perfect. Stannis needs the Nights Watch and the Wildlings. With Snow in charge, those are one in the same. For the love of all things vengeance, rally the troops and go rip Ramsay Bolton to shreds.

Last night tho, Jaqen Hagar! I was really getting into his story in S4. Dany's stuff nearly always drags, I haven't really been interested in her since Season 1. Jon Snow and Tyrion are the most interesting characters at the moment. Will watch the 2nd episode tonight or tomorrow night depending on time.

Kevan Lannister shutting down Cersei was awesome. And yes, add me to the group of people who don't follow Dany's law logic.
BTW what was the last name on Arya's hit list after Cersei, The Mountain, and Walder Frey?
