You know, I never did like Arya much in the books but the actress playing her totally sold the character to me. I enjoy her scenes immensely. I think the child actors are one of the best things about this show :)

Yeah, I`m annoyed at the lack of direwolves, they are such an integral part of story, imo. Also, TV direwolves are adorable.

Really hope they develop the Dothraki a bit more in the show than what we`ve been sown so far - give Dany`s handmaidens or that rider a bigger part or some memorable scenes. It´s one of those aspects that I really don`t mind if they deviate from the book and its one dimensional portrayal.
