Game of Thrones (TV, fantasy) Thread

Indeed

Forgive me for hurting your SVU's, I assumed (hoped maybe) that the show had died in the wake of the crime scene oversaturation.

Law and Order's are like a hydra.  You kill one show, two more grow in its place.

Just started watching the show. Absolutely love it.

Finished season 1 yesterday. 

[Progmetty]

Great! but you better stay out of this thread cause you're gonna get bukkaked with spoilers.

Finished season 1 yesterday. 

You are in for a treat, being able to watch things at once rather than week by week is so much better (especially Game of Thrones, with so many different characters and storylines). I first got season 1 on blu-ray, with season 2 released on blu-ray a couple of months later. Unfortunately from season 3 onwards I have had to watch week by week like a chump just to avoid spoilers

Turning an amazing show into an extraordinary one 

[faizoff]

Wow that musical was hilarious!

[Implode]

Just caught up today. Wowee.

[cramx3]

Wow that musical was hilarious!

Yea, it was really cool how they not only got a lot of the actors from the show on board, but how they also all spoke in their show accents!  The spot between Ramsay and Theon (GOT names) when they first saw each other was great!

Game of Thrones the Musical

Finally took the time to watch this....that was great! Funny stuff.

[orcus116]

The end of this episode made me so happy.

[hefdaddy42]

The entire episode made me happy.  I thought it was the best of the season.

I'm with you on that. I'll take a few more of those. I really hope that Danny takes that advice and just slaughters them all at the main event.....she's got to start getting ruthless at some point.

Bummed to see that Ghost isn't with Jon though....I know he saved Gilly's butt and all but I'd prefer him to be with Jon.

The 'bomb' we all expected to be dropped on Stannis finally hit.....sacrifice your daughter for certain victory....man what a pickle to be in 

Friggin' Sansa can't catch a break! Theon double crosses her....Ramsay finds out the whole plan....I mean, C'mon....it's brutal!

[faizoff]

Agreed fucking fantastic episode possibly the best so far. That episode gave me chills. Just 3 more to go!

[BlackInk]

Yeah, great episode. "My name is Tyrion Lannister" was epic, one of the moments of the show we have been waiting for for almost 5 seasons now.

[sneakyblueberry]

The end of this episode made me so happy.

My wife and I high fived.  Fina-fucking-ly. 

Great ep. hopefully things just get better from here on out. 

[faizoff]

Sam finally gets laid. BOW CHICKA BOW WOW.. I am always pleased with the acting on the show particularly the younger kids, I mean the guy playing Tommen was so good. I think all the actors on this show, every single one of them completely embody the character they're playing. The sand sisters are probably the weakest of the bunch but I wouldn't call them terrible acting just not as good as the rest. The chemistry some of the actors have together is fantastic as well. I mean the pairing of Arya with the Hound, Brienne and Podrik, Sam with Gili have all been absolutely fantastic I think. It seems almost flawless at times.

Also anyone else think that Bronn was fainting/dying due to some vaginal discharges/fumes the sand sister was emanating lol? I mean the way the camera was following her down and then cut to Bronn's vision blurring. haha.

[BlackInk]

I thought the sand snakes were really good this week. This was pretty much the first time we got any sense of any of them actually having some personality. Tyene is way ahead of her sisters in terms of character development after this week's episode. And I don't just mean the 'her getting naked' bit, but just that she actually showed some personality, in addition to a great body.

Also anyone else think that Bronn was fainting/dying due to some vaginal discharges/fumes the sand sister was emanating lol? I mean the way the camera was following her down and then cut to Bronn's vision blurring. haha.

Well, not really, but still, yeah kinda  But I thought that was well done. Something was suddenly happening to Bronn and you had no idea what, yet the sand snakes seemed perfectly aware. That was a cool moment, and well and subtly set up by Tyene asking him how his arm was feeling before that.

I was really expecting the antidote to be an instant-death potion and that Bronn would die in that scene. Bronn seems to be the one likable character that both the show & the books are unwilling to kill.

I'm also convinced now that merely auditioning as a female character on this show involves nudity. 

[Evermind]

Yeah, this episode was much better than last week, I think.

[faizoff]

Anyone else beside me watch/listen to the opening theme/credits during every single episode?

[cramx3]

Yes, how could you not?  I always like seeing when new cities are shown.

I agree with most here, best episode of the season.  I really liked how we got to see the Queen of Thorns and Littlefinger talk over the destruction and dead bodies of LF's brothel.  Hw they mentioned they worked together to kill a King and whatnot.  In fact, everything in King's Landing was very well done including the High Sparrow.  The show paints a picture in King's Landing with so many bad people and yet the only one I can find who seems like they are good (Tommen) is completely incapable of doing anything.  His lash out was great and Cersei is such a terrible person!  Makes for great TV and drama

I figured that she exposed herself in order to elevate Bronn's heart rate to give him a potent dose of the poison that was slowly working its way through his veins.

I just watched that rape scene with my girlfriend. I can't believe the internet turned into such a shitstorm over that! They didn't even show anything.

[Dark Castle]

Probably my least favorite episode of the season. Everything was just really smarmy and annoying except for the end of the episode.

[hefdaddy42]

Anyone else beside me watch/listen to the opening theme/credits during every single episode?

I might not, but I turn on HBO at 9 pm and there it is.  Every single time.

It wasn't the graphical nature of the rape that was questionable. It was the choice of the writers include it in the show at all when they wrote out the character that it was originally supposed to happen to. The way I understand it, people think the writers are taking an easy way out by thinking they can just create more tension with more rape to a character that didn't need to be raped necessarily.

While my reaction isn't as extreme as many others, I understand their criticisms. Clearly in the world of the show, it's being tied together decently and it makes sense. It's mostly book readers that have been up in arms from what I can tell.

[gmillerdrake]

Anyone else beside me watch/listen to the opening theme/credits during every single episode?

I do. Every week. I look forward to it....it's such a neat song and the opening sequence is killer. BTW....I'm assuming that song was written specifically for the show...correct?

Yup most definitely. I have the soundtracks as well, some great stuff on there.

When my best friend got married, he only had one request when his wife was planning everything... when he walks down the aisle he wanted a violinist playing the GOT theme song, and it happened and it was AWESOME.

[orcus116]

The violinist should've stopped playing halfway through and started up The Rains Of Castamere.

[ariich]

I was thinking the same thing.

"No. NO. NOT THE FANNY GAS!"

[Prog Snob]

Agreed. I was ecstatic when Tyrion came out and introduced himself to Daenerys and also when Cersei was captured.  They were definitely two of the best scenes of the show so far.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

The end of this episode made me so happy.

Was about to post the same thing!
