As for Game of Thrones, all I can say is....WOW!  I've read the books and I knew what was coming but it still didn't keep me from being completely blown away.  Okay, there are a few minor quibbles I have, like the show toning down Walder Frey's taunts while Rob was dying and it didn't make a big deal out of the Frey's providing bread and salt, usually a custom that guarantee a guest's safety, and slaughtering the Starks anyway.  But that's nitpicking and I don't want to detract from what was a brilliant episode in every way, including the writing, acting, directing, cinematography, all of it.  This is the episode I've been waiting to see ever since I read the books, and I'm happy to say that it not only met my expectations but exceeded them.   :-)
