Vortex,
maybe I'm forgetting some blond people then! I must admit, I was a little lost with all the characters. I need to go to the HBO site.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, I totally called the incest wrong. I mean, I thought those two should be sleeping together because they were pretty, but I totally thought it was the Targaryens whose nookie I'd heard about.
A bit eyerolly at the bare-breasted drumming barbaric brown-skinned people. They aren't all non-white, but it seems that's where all the non-whites are.

Well, historically the Targaryens married each other - as in Ancient Egypt. (In the book, I believe that Viserys makes some comment to that effect in about the timeframe we've seen of the Targaryens so far.)

Well, at least my incest-dar isn't entirely broken.
Good god, Coster-Waldau looks perfect. I totally get what they're going for character-wise just looking at the angle of his jaw.
The hair is pretty wack. Lena would look so much better if her hair didn't look so exhausted. It's a shame, because the set and costuming is exquisite.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
In the book the Targaryens married sister to brother to maintain a pure bloodline (a la ancient Egypt.) The Lannister twins' incest, otoh, is perceived by the other characters as an abomination. Not to mention treason.

Yeah, but I bet in Cersei's mind the Lannisters are as good as if not better than the Targaryens.

The Lannisters have a throne. I'm sure that ups their cred substantially. Even if the guy is a Kingslayer. Which they haven't mentioned yet.

And it looks like Season 2 will also be 10 episodes.
