Isn't HBO a premium cable channel? They'd want to show their program first because of that surely.I don't see the need for the 1 days UK delay on this.
Good scene-setting episode last night. Its interesting for me now that I've read the books (I hadn't when I watched Season 1). The "new" characters aren't really working for me yet; Liam Cunningham (Davos) and the guy playing Stannis seem like they should be playing each others' roles; Melisandre isn't beautiful enough (no criticism of her as an actress, but...), the guy playing Janos Slynt isn't oily enough and the guy playing whatsisface with the daughter/wives isn't creepy enough. And every time I see Dolorous Ed I expect him to turn to camera and say "I'm on probation".

Ok nonstoryline or directly plot related stuff stuff below, but it might interfere with your viewing pleasure of the season overall so click at your own risk.
Ep 2 is available, it got leaked on those pesky interwebs

When i read the books, i always imagined he looked like this, minus the cat (cos he'd eaten it):
Zarjazz said:No. It was a promo for the HBO GO streaming service. They did something similar last season.
