[quote=Anonymous]Overall, I’m really liking the show, but a few things are bugging me:

I don’t think they gave enough time to develop Ser Criston’s guilt/resentment/anger/lust.  That would have played out better over at least a few episodes.  And I know what he did was shocking, but presumably all these knights and lords are used to violence, so I don’t get how he was just able to saunter out of the hall without being detained.

A minor thing, but when they speak Valyrian, the subtitles are pretty small and in yellow rather than the usual white; Even with a pretty big tv, I had to rewind to get it all.

The main thing for me: Sometimes the dialogue is stilted, especially when they’re providing information more for the audience than they would naturally speak to each other.  Just one example— last episode when the small council was meeting, they were saying Viserys caused trouble by not marrying The Sea Snake’s daughter Laena, and then a few minutes later said that the Sea Snake was plotting to marry “his daughter Laena” to another lord.  They all know who Laena is.  They don’t need to define the relationship as the Sea Snake’s daughter again; that was just for us, because they’ve introduced a lot of characters quickly.  It would be like me telling my kids “We are going over to visit your cousins Larlo and Larla; they are the children of my brother Big Larlo” —when the kids have known each other since birth.

I just think the original GOT took its time to develop characters—this feels a lot more rushed, but maybe it just needs time to establish things.[/quote]
