Trailer for season 5 is also out now, and it's great. I should probably not have seen it, since it can reveal some things if one analyses it as closely as I can't stop myself from doing. But it's all fine, because it's awesome.

Cool but I probably won't see it. I usually avoid trailers for ongoing tv shows.

Pretty intense trailer and definitely has one hint that book readers may find spoilerish. Im pumped for this season and the new book wont be out in 2015 so might as well continue the story on this medium.

Just saw it at the IMAX theater, what an amazing couple of episodes to see on the big screen! And they did such an amazing job transferring it to the IMAX format.
As we were walking into the theater I yelled out "Night gathers!" and a whole bunch of people replied "And now my watch begins"

I didn't do any yelling, but I agree, the transfer to IMAX was fantastic, especially on "The Watchers on the Wall." The scope of that episode really lent itself well to the new format.

But I think the best thing about the transfer was the sound. That was really awesome in the IMAX theater.

Man I wish I could be there to see it.

Just started re-watching S04 and it still holds you on the edge. Ep 1 is such a good season opener!

Edit: Goddamn I love this show!

Game of Thrones: A Day In The Life tonight on HBO at 7:30

BlackInk · « **Reply #2073 on:** February 08, 2015, 10:15:44 AM »

I hope they post it online, for those of us who doesn't have HBO, or live where 7:30PM there is 1:30AM here.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #2074 on:** February 09, 2015, 06:24:31 AM »

Well, it was only 30 minutes long, but it was fun.

Found it fairly boring, but I am interested in the inclusion of Hardhome this season.

Dimitrius · « **Reply #2078 on:** February 09, 2015, 07:05:44 AM »

As a book reader, everytime I watch shots of the Real Alcázar I'm just amaze! Not only is it just a stunning place but it also fits exactly what I imagine the Water Gardens to look like and I can't wait to see it in the show!

Also, real interested in seeing what will happen in Hardhome! An obvious deviation from the books so maybe no Jon Snow being stabbed this year.

S04E07 Even though I know that it didn't exactly go as planned I love the whole scene with Oberyon and Tyrion in the cell when Tyrion gets emotional and Obyreon says he wants to fight for him. Just a great scene!

Yup, thats a great scene and really gets you pumped up.

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #2082 on:** February 13, 2015, 12:31:06 PM »

and leading up to that is of course the Oberyon headsmash!

Seriously that's still as mindblowing as the first time I saw it even though I wasn't entirly surprised, just a brilliant turn around. It's stuff like that that keeps you on the edge.

MetalJunkie · « **Reply #2083 on:** February 13, 2015, 10:40:41 PM »

Man, I really want to watch this show. I wish I didn't have such a problem with watching over-the-top violence.

Dimitrius · « **Reply #2084 on:** February 14, 2015, 05:50:51 AM »

You're doing yourself a disservice by not watching it.

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #2085 on:** February 14, 2015, 06:16:20 AM »

It depends on what you define as "over-the-top violence" because imo there's alot of violence but nothing that wouldn't be unlikely in a world like that. I guess the diffrence between GoT and other shows in that time period is that they dosen't "censor" or cut the gruesome stuff out. Swordfights have always been in movies for example but they usually cut the dismemberment of limbs out which usually is the result when you lose a swordfight, GoT simply dosen't cut that part out which makes for some interesting scenes.

Evermind · « **Reply #2086 on:** February 14, 2015, 06:20:04 AM »

Well, I think the only thing that really made me cringe and was tough to watch for me was Oberyn's death. I even knew what was going to happen, but man, that was brutal. But then again, I don't have a lot of problems with watching the violence. For example, Theon's torture was no problem for me. Yeah, it was disgusting, but pretty much watchable.

BlackInk · « **Reply #2087 on:** February 14, 2015, 08:39:40 AM »

The only problem I had with the torture of Theon is that they spent a bit too much time on it. But then of course, after his storyline through season 4 I can now understand why that was sort of needed, and not just shown for the sake of torture. Which only further illustrates how carefully planned this show is.

And Oberyn's death sure made me cringe as well, but the 'gore' part of that wasn't even the worst of it. What really got to me was his scream.

Good. Now my wife can get off my back about knowing everything about the story before actually watching the shows.

Cyclopssss · « **Reply #2090 on:** February 16, 2015, 07:17:42 AM »

Sheesh, FINALLY caught up with this whole series, just finished watching season 4. Epic series. Whoa, where to start? Red Wedding was a real shocker to me, only to be topped with the purple wedding (finally)! Can´t WAIT for season 5 to start!

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #2091 on:** February 16, 2015, 07:46:31 AM »

Just an hour ago I finished my re-watch of S04. Still as epic as the first time I saw it. Can't freakin wait!

BlackInk · « **Reply #2092 on:** February 16, 2015, 07:49:04 AM »

My season 4 blu-ray should arrive either today or tomorrow. Been watching the other seasons on blu-ray during the past few weeks, and shall start immediately with season 4 once it gets here.

Hmm I have a couple guesses

Sansa, Jamie, or Jorah are my biggest surprise non book deaths.

ariich · « **Reply #2094 on:** February 16, 2015, 09:28:55 AM »

Honestly, it could be almost anyone. Most people seem to think that there are only a handful of characters who will turn out to be most important at the end (or, some would suggest, the only ones who live). If GRRM has told D&D who these characters are, they have pretty free reign to kill off whoever else they like!

The only thing I'm confident about is that neither Bran nor Hodor will die, but that's only because they're not appearing in season 5.

If you are not watching this show you should be!

BlackInk · « **Reply #2096 on:** February 16, 2015, 09:39:07 AM »

I think Bran will be a major player by the end of all this. Right now he feels like the 'Frodo' of this series, the small guy with the most important mission. That has been my prediction since season 3.

Wasn't there something about Bran maybe appearing after all, but not Hodor? Like, only for a little bit? I think I remember seeing that somewhere..

I think we may see him involved in seeing flashbacks but not actually doing much in terms of curent timeline, hence why we may see him but not Hodor. I aslo agree that he will have a large role to play in the end with his warging powers most likely.
