There's several noticeable differences casting wise from the book; but the biggest was the ages of Danearys and Sansa who are far younger in the book than they appear to be in the show.

I think they were all aged up pretty much the same.  Jon and Robb are supposed to be 15 or something but they both look like College age guys in the show.

But Martin always regretted making the kids too young so I think this casting is what ages he would use if he was going to do it again.

First casting example where my gut reaction was very negative: Shae. She looks way too old, not at all innocent looking, more like a seasoned pro than anything else.

Yeah, I'm not really sure why they thought casting an 18 year-old character with a 30 year-old actress was a good idea.  Suppose we'll see later on if she has the chops for it or not...
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

She's been in porn, but she's also a great actress. She's been in a bunch of great Fatih Akin movies.

Oh.  And she is massively fucking hot.

I don't mind the actress playing Shae.  Definitely should look younger, but as long as she can act, she's attractive enough.  The wolves got left out again.  *sigh*  I'm intrigued by the implication that Ned saw Arya and alerted Yoren to her presence.  A deviation from the books, but an interesting turn.  Overall, another good episode.  I'm definitely excited for next week's episode, though a tad apprehensive of what they'll do with the dragons.

Err, they are supposed to be older in the show. Most characters actually are.

Shae hasn't been cast afaik

Edit: she has, WTF?

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I don't understand the decisions to change shit that didn't need changing.

What was that about Shae threatening to cut his eyeballs out? How come Tyrion leaves out the part where's he's screwing Tysha and gives her a gold piece? Why is Tyrion knocked out before the battle?

We don't get a POV chapter of Ned when he's about to be executed, so the part about him informing Yoren was actually pretty cool. The stuff at the Wall and with Daenerys was also good. The Tyrion and Catelyn parts of the episode though... ugh. Walder Frey is too young by about 20 years.

I think they really should have done a flashback sequence with Ned and Lyanna. It's a recurring theme during the whole first book, the "promise me, Ned" thing, probably setting up Jon's origins. Now that Eddard is dead, the opportunity is gone, that's too bad.

He's been doing 10-20 minute reviews for each episode and they've been amazing.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Oh I doubt that.

They're only interesting when they act out like at the zoo. I half expected him to start flinging feces about.
