GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
OMG - Peter Dinklage is really just awesome. His taking down Joffrey by a peg without Joffrey even realizing was marvelous.

Because books.
Oh yeah. Tyrion's meeting with Cersei was also awesome.
I love the guy playing Davos, and the guy playing Stannis seems perfect, too.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Janos Slynt doesn't seem sleazy enough to me - he's the only major casting misstep I can think of so far. Everyone else is spot on.
I'm absolutely loving Melissandre.
I did not love the LET'S KILL ALL THE BABIES montage at the end there. (I didn't have a mental image of that scene from the book because when I read it my brain said "Yeah, you don't want to be picturing that" and didn't give me one. So thanks HBO, for filling in that gap for me.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was just reading discussion on the show, and someone was saying they loved Cersei and Robb, and loathed Tyrion and Jon and Daenerys, which is why she prefers the show to the books.
I think the show portrays the three she hates really well, so the position confused me. Cersei--I have no idea if she's cooler than in the books, and I do understand that Robb is getting extra time, but if you were asking me to choose the heroes of the show, so far it's definitely Tyrion, Jon, Daenerys, and Arya. And that's at least partially because the show is bigging them up.
How do their representations jibe with the books?
