I think the first episode shoud have gone for one and a half (75 minutes) or twice the length (about 100minutes) of average episode as there is so much to cover over so many different characters and locations.
Funny they used real dogs in the first season, the wolf dosen't look like it was created by cgi rather they used the real dog and did something to make it look bigger- super imposed it or something next to Robb somehow? Maybe like what they did in Lord of the Rings to make the actors look small like hobbits. Well i though it looked okay because they looked too small in the first season. And a cgi wolf will always look worse than a cgi dragon cause nobody's seen a real dragon before to compare.
Spoiler
There was that bit whre Robb said if he allied with Renly and his 100'000 men he would outnumber the Lannisters by 2-1. We know that Rob has roughly 20'000 men in the field so this is about 120'000 that means the Lannisters have about 60'000 which is quite a lot considering Robb has beaten them 3 times and destroyed Jaime's Army. So does that mean that if Robb and the North are by themselves they are out numbered 3-1 (60'000 vs 20'000), he's doing pretty well beating them. Does anyone know if these numbers are correct i know there different from the book. Renly should just let Robb be his general with 120'00 men he would crush the Lannisters!
I have only read the first book and i want to read the second only after watching season 2 i actually prefer the series to the book and have already ruined enough by reading stuff on the internet that spoiled suprises for me! Ned and Jaime's confrontation in the tv show was far better than the book which i know has more detail but i just enjoy the series more.
