My friend Hannah recently started watching Game of Thrones for the first time, after months of me telling her to watch the series and/or (preferably) read the books. I've instructed her to text me after each episode with her reactions, opinions, and so on - I love seeing the reactions of someone who hasn't already read the books, and to find someone who is just starting the series from scratch was like a goldmine to my (slightly sadist) mind.
I feel I should share these texts with the world, to allow others to experience the joy I feel at each and every plot point throughout the story. I'll (hopefully) keep this page updated as Hannah progresses through the series.
As of today, as far as I'm aware she's watched the first four episodes of season 1. Here are the texts so far - enjoy!

Hannah: I am on s1e3
Emma: So what just happened?
Hannah: Bran (little boy) is awake.
Hannah: Mrs Sean Bean knows that knife was the imp's
Hannah: Incest is weird
Hannah: The bastard is on the wall
Hannah: Erm. Scary killy things in the woods but nobody believes they're there
Hannah: WINTER IS COMING
Hannah: Blonde lady with horrible brother and sexy feral husband is preggers
Hannah: Sean Bean's lovely tomboy daughter has just got sword lessons
Hannah: And Lena Headey's son is a little prick and that poor beautiful dog got killed
Emma: So. Top 5 characters. Go.
Hannah: Arya
Hannah: Imp
Hannah: Bastard
Hannah: Mrs Sean Bean
Emma: (You don't know most people's actual names, do you? :-P )
Hannah: Blonde lady with horrible brother and sexy feral husband
Hannah: Not yet, no
Hannah: There's a lot of characters!
Hannah: I'm only three eps in!
Hannah: I want to like Lena Headey but eh
(After I'd attempted to teach her a few of the character's names)
Hannah: I'M SO GLAD I GOT BRAN RIGHT
Hannah: Initially I thought it was Bran but thought maybe I'd just mentally imposed breakfast on him
Emma: Thoughts on Neddy Stark?
Hannah: I'm not sure what to make of him yet. I like his strong like justice and protection thing that seems to be going on, but that strength of him being so traditional is also a weakness that makes him seem like a bit of a cock
Hannah: But I like his and Mrs. Sean Bean's relationship a lot
Emma: And his and Arya's relationship
Hannah: Yes! I love that he got her sword lessons and let her keep needle
