Trada dude, I would try to stick with it for at least a couple more episodes. There are sum really good things that happen in the middle and end of the first book.
I never realised how slow the beginning was when I read it the first time round but it is quite ponderous, but the fact the Bran got pushed out of the window for seeing a brother and sister going at it made me think that this is different. Not many fantasy stores are THAT debauched.
The things that start happening to characters in the book later on make the slower start well worth it honest. You really don't want to miss out.
Nicolas coster whatshisname is perfect as Jaime lannister.
The one thing I have found though is that with watching the series it has fleshed out the characters even more than what they did in the books. Syrio Forel was ace. Arya is show stealing with Tyrion at the moment. Tyrion - Pissing of the edge of the world lol. Forgot he wanted to do that.
But the best acting that I've seen in it so far is Sean Bean.
