A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

[Hauldren Collider]

Even when it's full of hooligans you'd still be a crazy person if you thought it was remote or out of the way.

In suburban Virginia, 10 miles is what I'd call "a trip to the shopping mall". I figure that it's exactly the same across the US. Hardly the difference between the sticks and the city.

Only two days to go.

So the first 4 ep have been leaked. Anyone seen them? I haven't.

[Nikolai]

Saw the first episode.

Quick notes, should be no spoilers:


First scene was well done, but I think book readers like me get more out of it than show watchers. Not sure if it's good or not.


Margaery in the books, it's not clear if she's naive or very smart. In the show this ambiguity is nowhere to be seen. I like how the show has solved this, as the book version is hard to do on screen.


Last scene, again the book version was in reality impossible to solve on screen. The show runner's solution opens up a big question on how a certain future plot thread will be solved, but I have a suspicion. I think it will work out fine.

I heard in ep4 there's

Spoiler:

R+L=J stuff

Of course, I only recommend torrent programs to acquire media already released to the public for free

[Nikolai]

I pay for HBO, so I have no qualms.

Once I read your post my wife and I binged on the first four episodes.

The end of episode 4: **** goes down

So...five weeks until episode 5

[Thoth]

When is season 5 due out on DVD?

[Dinner]

Who knows? It hasn't even aired yet.

In some of their interview, the 2 show writers said they changed the personality of some characters because of the actors personality or the way they played it.
I found also Cersei different from the book. In the book, she seems more stupid and narcissistic than in the show.
And same goes for other characters.

Considering I binge watched the earlier seasons in anticipation, with all the GREAT episodes, the first one last night was kind of MEH. It was more of a welcome back and here's what will be interesting in episodes to come.

[I AM MOBIUS]

It's what I'm expecting really. It airs here tonight.

That's what most of the season premieres have been like, really. Me, I only watch GoT for the 9th episode of each season.
