Re: Game of Thrones and other TV shenanigans
Oh hey - we're talking about this now? OK, but I haven't watched the first episode of season 2 year so no spoilers. I really want to see if Bran grows wings and learns to fly like he does in the books.

Re: Game of Thrones and other TV shenanigans
Yeah I figured since it just came out that people might not have watched it yet so I just left it at the customary "Joffrey is a dick!" Which he is.
If anyone needs it, I could livestream the episode sometime. |

Re: Game of Thrones and other TV shenanigans
Season 2 Episode 1 was pretty good. A lot of set up without excitement, but they hit the right notes. Peter Dinklage still owns this show.

They changed the part with Melisandre and Cresson.

Re: Game of Thrones and other TV shenanigans
Yep. Makes sense though. In a book, you can easily introduce new characters with paragraphs - if you started the show with that scene, you'd lose people who haven't read. They had to rearrange it and given the rather slow start to A Clash of Kings, that interplay is the biggest moment. Have to close with it.
However, I am concerned that the grouping of Stanis, Melisandre and Davos is going to be utterly dominated by the Melisandre character, rather than leaving her as a sort of mysterious person Davos doesn't really have access to for the first little bit. I think they are going to build her character a lot more in the tv show to introduce the Lord of Light/Fire Religion earlier as it has a lot to play further in the story. It'll weaken the impact of Stanis on the "tv" story.

Re: Game of Thrones and other TV shenanigans
Stannis actor is bad choice. Doesn't look like Stannis at all. Everything else was fine in the episode I guess. Aside from the baby killing and sex which wasn't needed at all and was pretty stupid.

Re: Game of Thrones and other TV shenanigans
The sex is always needed in the episodes. The child killing though, Joffrey be a harsh bitch. I'm expecting a lot from Stannis after what I've heard about him.
The Jamie and Robb moment was my favourite. Grey Wind! Also the second episode is already out, 'twas awesome. |

Re: Game of Thrones and other TV shenanigans
I could really do with some links to watch the new episodes. Just got my computer back after five weeks and HBO gyped out on me when I tried to watch it.

Re: Game of Thrones and other TV shenanigans
I don't know any links aside from torrents that you could watch it directly from mate, after they closed down Megaupload it ruined everything for us.
I could always Livestream them someday, or if you want just send you the torrent links if you can do that. |

Re: Game of Thrones and other TV shenanigans
Yeah, megaupload will be sorely missed.
http://watchseries.eu/episode/game_o...e1-158988.html Came across this, not sure if it's any good yet. |

Re: Game of Thrones and other TV shenanigans
I just had to come here and say that anyone who read the books will find ep2 blasphemous. Well, I guess they always do these kinds of things to books. Piss on them. It might be a good series no matter what, but it's horse crap compared to the quality of the book.
