Got my season 4 blu ray in the mail yesterday, my annual re-watch of the series has begun! I always pick up little things that ive missed when doing this and helps to refresh my memory on story lines from the earlier seasons that come back to play a role in the current season.

We will probably pick it up this weekend and begin.

BlackInk · « **Reply #2102 on:** February 20, 2015, 09:54:49 AM »

I only have one episode left on my re-watch. Got the special edition blu-ray early on tuesday, and it's been great.

Been reading the recent in-universe 'World of Ice and Fire' book for the past few days. Very interesting. It is a very mysterious, detailed, and complex world Martin has created, both in and beyond Westeros. The stuff I like the most are about the lands in the far east. Since they're so far away they are portrayed in such a mysterious way and are endlessly fascinating and intriguing. I have also been jumping from page to page in the Ice and Fire Wiki, trying to learn as much as possible about those weird eastern places. Awesome stuff!

Picked up the Season 4 Blu-ray deluxe package. It came with a bonus disc on the filming of the Purple Wedding, and a little toy Joffrey. I see target practice in my future.

BlackInk · « **Reply #2105 on:** February 24, 2015, 12:28:38 PM »

I gave my toy Joffrey to my sister. He now stands on top of one of the plants in her window, as a proud king.

I can't stand that little shit.

There's a few in my lifetime that I wanted a character to die. He was right up there for sure.

BlackInk · « **Reply #2108 on:** February 24, 2015, 01:14:48 PM »

I miss him. Not because I liked him, but because he had a certain presence on the show, and it won't be the same without him.

My mother apparently disagrees though. She was literally singing "king Joffrey is deeeaad" for the rest of the night.

This. Of course he was the most hated character, but the actor was just sooooo good that when he died I was actually upset to not see the character anymore. I was also really happy at the same time because he was a jerk, but Joffrey was probably my favorite character to watch in the show.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #2110 on:** February 24, 2015, 02:41:01 PM »

I was not upset.

I was never more satisfied in a show than seeing him bite it. Good riddance.

There's so much cool stuff in this trailer, but what gets me most excited is the brief shot of a blackened and bloody hand coming through a wooden wall. If that turns out to be what I think it is, and if the brief pieces of what I have seen and how I have puzzled them together in my mind means what I think it means, then that will be awesome.

What do you think it is?

The hand through the wall maybe a white? but the hand is not bloody, the next "clip" shows a finger with blood but that looks completely different.

What I am really excited for is what appears to be Sansa in the Winterfell crypts. What happens in the north/north of the wall is what I am most looking forward to. Bolton vs Stannis with what appears to be the Knights of the Vale riding into Winterfell and the wildings/Nights watch riding to Hardhome looks like book spoilers and I cant wait

I didn't realise straight away but the finger with blood I believ is Cersei in the flashback giving her blood to get the prophecy.

The hand breaking through the wall I thought was a wight, presumably part of a force of wights and / or White Walkers trying to break into the village at Hardhome (Jon Snow is going there himself in the show rather than sending other men of the Night's Watch to try to rescue the wildlings.

Sansa going to Winterfell was causing lots of debate online from what I'd seen, people had identifed a shot of her in a room that looked like Winterfell in the last trailer but people didn't believe it. Now it's confirmed, so really interesting to see where they go with that. Littlefinger and knights of the Vale being in Winterfell could maybe take on a similar role to Manderly men, as in a force that could potentially betray the Boltons.

Great trailer in general, as well as having interesting tidbits of information on where they are going. Really does a good job showing off the Faith and High Sparrow, Stannis in the North and trouble in Meereen. Daenerys' speech was cringeworthy but obviously prime trailer material.

And people may be glad to know that book readers are almost as much in the dark as everyone else this season

Half of them will probably end up even more surprised.

cramx3 · « **Reply #2123 on:** March 10, 2015, 07:08:41 PM »

Yup, thats why as a book reader I am excited. The books and show are going to go down very different paths (albeit to a same ending) so it will still be awesome to read the books when and if they do get written.

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #2124 on:** March 11, 2015, 03:15:44 AM »

So pumped, although I haven't seen the trailer yet.

Game of Thrones' fifth season will air simultaneously worldwide each week

Yea no Manderly is sad, but sometimes the show does a good job of having a current character take on the role of a newer character. I do wonder if Sansa will play the role of fArya then and maybe a scene with her and Ramsay is the scene Sophie Turner has been talking about as being very traumatic. Either way, I find the north to be very interesting this season.

I guess I can believe that as long as it's only Ramsay at Winterfell and Roose is nowhere near. If Roose is there, he HAS to recognize her, I think.

I'm not sure that I want to share my thoughts too much openly on that. I didn't even read the small text you posted, haha. But I'll post here whether I was right or wrong after the episode airs. I haven't read the fourth and fifth books, so this is just pure speculation.

Short clip from S01E01 "The Wars to Come". Dialogue and look of the characters is all fine, but what struck me the most is how well shot this scene is. This does not look like TV show. It almost never really did, but this short clip impressed me for some reason.

ariich · « **Reply #2130 on:** March 19, 2015, 07:22:16 AM »

Everything is looking really great so far.

This will be my first season having caught up with all the books, so I expect it to be quite a different experience watching while knowing the general direction of things.

Also interested in the fact that it seems they're going to catch up on the books very quickly now. Not that I think that's a problem, if anything I think Dance With Dragons suffered from moving too slowly for my tastes.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #2131 on:** March 19, 2015, 07:37:07 AM »

There will apparently be some changes from the books as well. So having read them may not me of as much benefit, anyway.

Evermind · « **Reply #2133 on:** March 19, 2015, 09:17:31 AM »

Yeah, I think the bookreaders and people who only watched the show are pretty even for this season. Which is why I'm so intrigued by it.
