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.
Mal: You want to tell me how come there's a statue of you here looking at me like I owe him something? Jayne: Wishing I could, Captain.

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.
