-game of thrones question-
I've only seen the show so I can't give any advice as to if you should read the books first or not.
It would probably depend on how much of a TV or book person you are.

I know that episode... (said the Hartnell fangirl). Did you start watching it knowing the episodes were organized into arcs that it makes more sense to watch all at once (like the Tom Baker episodes, and all the other Classic episodes for that matter)? In early Hartnell's era the episodes all had individual titles instead of "part 1", "part 2", etc but they still had the arc formula.You wouldn't be the first person to turn an episode down if you got halfway through one without realizing it was part of a 4-part arc. Admittedly a lot of the Classic episodes (especially in Harntell's era) start slow, but they get better. They make more sense to watch all in one sitting. Give me a day and I can probably list some of my favorite Classic episodes, though...
I was aware it worked like that, though in that case it was a friend who put it on. So it's possible they loaded a later part without me knowing.
But it wasn't a 'skip ahead' confusion bit that bothered me, it was that outside of the doctor everyone just seemed either so monotone or just "Oh Golly! Look at the ancient stuff!".
We haven't seen any full episodes of Twelve yet, though. Only the regeneration scene.
Especially since The Aztecs was one of their earlier episodes.
