whelp; now that this has been out for a while; what do people think of the adaptation?

what about casting choices and some of the changes?

I'm a little peeved they couldn't be asked to get contact lenses for the Targaryens or even just one for Tyrion's mismatched eye...

And what about the scaling up of all the childrens' ages? I can understand why they've done it, but I can't help but feel it take a little away from the characters; half the point is that they are SO young and how the world and society perceives coming of age; growing up and perhaps simply how hard the life is in the world (older societies tended to have children "come of age" earlier than modern western society does now due to a shorter life expectancy)

I love the way Tyrion has been played; he's alot more eloquent then I expected, but it's good.

I have more to add, but I want to hear what others think for now.
I think we should perhaps try to steer away from talking about spoilers from the books, or the series for now though.

If you want to chat to me about spoilerific bits or about the books more, PM me; I'm currently reading through A Storm of Swords: 2 Blood and Gold (so no spoiler for me either, please!)
