We have to admit, we haven't seen the whole thing yet. What happened you ask?
Well...we began by watching the first three episodes and of course as we all know, life is filled with interruptions. So was our case. But, we now have TIVO and put it on "season pass" so it would record any upcoming episodes.
But...there was some sort of software glitch and it skipped over episodes 4 and 5. It recorded all the rest. 
So we tried again, and told it to record those episodes. Long story short; it never did and time passed and...
So this week they aired all for Veteran's Day, and we told the machine to start over again. Last night we started from the beginning and re-watched episodes one through three and will watch the rest this weekend (hopefully).
Brooke: Many others have stated the thing about character development too, and we would have to agree after only watching three. It's hard to get the feel of who's who. But of course, still enjoying the hell of out it.
We have not read the books, so I cannot make a comparison, but many times the movies leave out so much. Unfortunate.
