Lots of talk across season one about the opening credits. How do we feel about them?

Personally, I'm a big fan of them using the iconic music, and I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot barge pole.

The actual visuals? Utterly perplexing to me, and I say that as someone who's familiar with the source material. I understand what they were going for but I think everything is a bit hard to parse.

I don't mind it at all. I was really pleasantly surprised to hear they reused the GoT theme. I mean, they were never going to come up with anything better, so why not just use that iconic piece of music.
