I never got into the hype over "Game of Thrones." Even though my dad, who read all the books, and friends, who loyally watched each episode, were blown away by the story, characters and plot development, I never picked the books up or watched an episode. Because I didn't have HBO or time to read a book as long as an encyclopedia, I simply never had the opportunity to get into the critically claimed series. All I knew was that the show had a "Lord of the Rings" feel, and the actor who plays the "angry elf" in "Elf."

While I am a little late to the game, I decided I would give the first episode a go. With absolutely no previous knowledge of what is going on, where the show takes place, and who the characters are, here's what I thought.

1. The pilot episode is titled "Winter is Coming," yet the first scene takes place in what looks like winter (there's like six feet of snow) and is located in Winterfell. So has winter fallen or nah? Confused.

2. These "wilding" creatures look like a mix between dementors from "Harry Potter" and the girl from "The Conjuring 2."

3. How the heck did the one Night Watcher ranger survive these wildings?

4. The older Stark brothers are super hot and should definitely continue to be shirtless even though winter is coming or fell.

5. The Warden of the North needs to chill with taking these beheadings so seriously.

6. I want one of those baby wolves. Please.

7. Who is this bastard child's mom? He seems pretty chill and saves the baby wolves, so I like him.

8. The Queen and her twin brother are also two beautiful human beings; I guess they really did cast an attractive bunch.

9. These twins are definitely up to no good, for the Queen looks like she's about to have a panic attack.

10. Who are these bleached-haired siblings, and why is the brother touching his sister's boobs?

11. The brother is a spitting image of Lucius Malfoy and would definitely be a Slytherin.

12. The son of the King and Queen, Joffrey, is not attractive at all. I don't see what Eddard Stark's daughter, Sansa, sees in him.

13. Yes! The angry elf has arrived.

14. For a dwarf, he seems to be getting a lot of action.

15. There are definitely going to be some weird incestual things starting to happen in this show as the King reminisces about his love for Eddard's sister. I'm calling it now.

16. This is the most barbaric wedding I have ever watched.

17. I feel so bad for the bleached-haired sister post-wedding when she is alone with her scary new husband. Ugh.

18. Oh my gosh. The Queen asks Sansa if she has "bled" yet. Not the kind of conversation I ever imagine having at a feast.

19. Nervous for Eddard because I don't want him to get murdered like John Arryn.

20. This is like a classic scary movie move: Don't take the job, Eddard. Obviously, bad things are going to happen.

21. When Bran goes climbing in the last seen and sees the Queen and her twin having sex...what the?! I called it.

22. Praying so hard the baby wolf saved Bran. The twin bro is a huge jerk.

While I was extensively confused, shocked and repeatedly surprised throughout the first episode, I must admit that I am eager to continue watching to show, mainly just to know if summer ever falls.
