| The creepy child in Game of Thrones 'Winter Is Coming' episode. |
The pilot episode of Game of Thrones was a great nod to the book. A grisly start to George R.R Martin's cold-blooded medieval epic fantasy. They built a lot of characters on the pilot which was quite a struggle but the show's unhurried pace gave us enough time to acquaint with the nomenclature of the seven kingdoms and its people. For a tv series which started about 3 years ago, I'd like to acknowledge that the elaborate set pieces, costumes and production value takes the spine out of some movies we have today. All the more reason to agree with David Lynch when he said "It seems like the art house has gone to cable." Or in my case, on torrent. This show, together with another 21st century classic 'The Walking Dead' had caused a paradigm shift in the entertainment industry.These shows should be applauded for raising the bar and putting up an erect middle finger to the money-raking bastards at Hollywood. Going back, the pilot episode delivers as far as direction is concerned. Tim Van Patten eyes on intricate details letting the show's barbaric scenes, immoral acts and dark turns crawl into your skin. Accompanied by Tolkienian music and stunning cinematography, Game of Thrones' Winter Is Coming episode, took all the necessary steps to promise its audience a great journey ahead of them. Yes, I have just started watching Game Of Thrones, so no spoilers please! The least I expect from you is respect. But if you can't give me that then I'm gonna have to swing my sword and sentence you to die! 3.5/5
