What about it?
I think I'm just sick of Lyanna Mormont showing everyone up.
Yeah, that was lame. I thought the Jon/Sansa stuff was well done although the dialogue after the meeting was a bit clunky.
The dialogue is awful.
I also have some serious book snobbery complaints when it comes to Sansa becoming like Cersei, even if she's using her powers for good.
Well you better get over that so you can enjoy the show
My dirty little secret is I do enjoy the show.
the more you remind yourself that the show is simply based on the books and not actually the books, the more you'll enjoy it.
Changing shit is fine if it makes sense. Too many of the changes just make no fucking sense.
Sansa's arc feels pretty organic to me. what don't you like about it
I'll be honest and admit my complaints with Sansa are simply that I like the book better. There are some passages from her time in King's landing where she's set up to be more of an anti-Cersei, a Queen to be loved, not feared. And it makes me nervous in the show here she says stuff like "I learned so much from her".
I guess this is also one of those instances with Cersei where I just prefer the arc the book had for her. At no point in the novels is Cersei ever a sympathetic character. She leans that way at times in the show and it infuriates me. So combining those two things just gets to me. But like I said, this is really just a narrative preference for me.

that's fair. I admit I started to fade a little bit with the last two SoIaF books, so none of these changes really bother me. They are organic in the story the show is telling, and effectively done.

The show does a lot of things better. No one can refute this fact. It is known.

This Euron portrayal doesn't really fit. Besides lacking some intensity in his character, he now looks like Joshua Jackson with some coiffured "scruff" and guyliner.

All in all a great opening episode, but my God that forced Ed Sheeran scene....that was, without a doubt, the most cringeworthy scene I've seen on this show. Not jumping on the pop star bashing bandwagon either, it really was that awful. Something like that takes you right out of the fancy world the writers and show runners work so hard to create. WTF were they thinking? Still pumped for next week though and enjoying the fact that I genuinely have no clue how this all will turn out.

Seeing Ed Sheeran was worse than seeing the shit montage.

It's crazy how polarized the reactions to that rabbit-eating scene have been. People either seem to be all about it or all against it.
Why the hell would Arya be riding around the Riverlands without a disguise on if she could, in theory, look like anyone else? Here's an idea (all speculation, but spoiler'd anyway):
- Spoiler: show
- This idea comes from the Talk The Thrones aftershow. One reason many people liked that scene (one reason why I highlighted it early, too) was because it demonstrated that there was a bit of human Arya underneath it all, that she wasn't just a killing machine bent on revenge. Wellllllll...if you were trying to infiltrate a band of Lanister soldiers so that you could, I dunno, kill one of them and steal their face so that you could easily get into King's Landing to kill the queen...wouldn't you act like an unassuming girl just trying to make it in the countryside to catch the soldiers off guard? That's still possible. One thing that makes it hard to believe: the Stark kids have never been presented as false to the audience before (as far as I can remember), so it'd be a huge shift for the show. We'll see.

you are jumping on that bandwagon though. this isn't the first time they've used a singer/band to be the voice behind the songs in the realm of GoT, either.
