Last season HBO had a neat interactive map and family trees on their site. Looks like that's all been scrapped for a generic "cast and crew" listing?

Probably due to folks getting pissy about non-spoiler spoilers. For instance, the fact that the Lannisters are led by the current patriarch, Tywin Lannister. That was an issue, a BIG issue, last year with some folks.

Caught up on Blu Ray and broke down and finally got HBO because of Game of Thrones. I cannot wait!

The above link is a viewer's guide to the show. I believe this is the interactive element that Groucho is talking about.

I wonder if the murdered babies and children will inspire all the same outrage that we got over the direwolf killed last season?
Who am I kidding?
Of course not.

Great start for Season 2. It was odd/great seeing the paperboy from Spaced as Dontos, he fit the part.
I don't think I liked the Stannis casting initially, but I thought he was great.

I thought it was an extremely tepid episode until the very end, then it was just more shocking than anything else. HOpefully the next episode will be better.

thought it was well done since there was a lot to cover .... recapping last season and the introduction of a number of new (or only previously named) characters

I loved it except for the casting of Melissandre. I always pictured her as redheaded Galadriel, the exact opposite of what we got here.
