Book readers are eating good today. The dialogue in the premiere wasn't just 'inspired by' the book; it was ripped straight from the page. Hearing Dunk say 'Dunk the lunk, thick as a castle wall' out loud was perfect. They even nailed the colors of the Targaryen armor. It is rare for an adaptation to respect the source material this much. HBO finally learned that you don't need to 'fix' George R.R. Martin's writing; you just need to film it.
