Covers the very beginning of a Song of Ice and Fire:

NSFW (violence and gore). I warn you: what you are about to watch, may terrify you.

Watched it on HBO last night (got HBO just for AGoT). Gave me goosebumps :)

looks good, but it wasn't super exciting for me -- i want to see some of the meatier character bits! i thought the first part of the book was a little slow too.

I thought it was very well done. I also noticed some cool subtle stuff that I was able to pick up on right away. For example, in one part of the clip Cat gives a death stare to John Snow that was palpable. It was all of a few seconds, but I could detect the underlying hatred from Cat there. It is that sort of thing I am looking forward to in the series.

No wolves? :(

[Jonathan]

Wolves don't show up in the first 14 minutes, no. Too bad - what a tease.

I loved the added scene. Couldn't believe how efficient and economical it was for them to give usa few minutes with House Stark and let us know, right away, who was like what.

As a fan of the books I alreayd knew, but I thought it was really well-done. Also loved the wall.
