Game of Thrones - Holy shit this TV show is awesome go watch it right now!

[Cortexian]

No seriously this is probably one of the most awesome series I have seen since Firefly, definitely locked into my top 10 TV series of all time list. If you liked Spartacus at all I can pretty much guarantee that you will enjoy Game of Thrones. It also has some really well known actors like:
Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings)
Lena Headey (300, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles)
Jason Momoa (Stargate Atlantis, Conan 2011)
David Bradley (Harry Potter)

The show also includes a lot of really awesome stuff like:
Swords and sword fighting
Blood and guts
Tits
Sex
Magic
Dragons
Loyal Dire-Wolf pups
Zombies (Wight Walkers)
Incest
Epic bloodline royal family feuding

You really need to go watch this show (preferably in 720p). It's an HBO Mini-Series that has been renewed for a second season (hopefully more, there are more books after-all). From what I've heard this is actually one of the few exceptions where reading the books beforehand is not a prerequisite, HBO did an amazing job following the book.

This is one of those series where the end of EVERY episode is a cliffhanger, so get fucking used to it. That said they are by far some of the best cliffhangers I've seen on TV ever.

[Amit]

...one year after everyone watched it...

But no, it's everything you say it is, which is good (for those who discount his words as garbage these days). Get ready for Season 2 on April Fool's Day!

What the hell is going on in your head? Also, I'd like to add a few of my own to that list:

Attempted Child Killing
Children Killing Children
Little Men With Sharp Tongues
Sexy Whores
BETRAYAL

And yes I just hijacked this thread, but I'm a peaceful hijacker and consented to return this bitch to the ground.

[Cortexian]

It's cool to see them pull it off in such a manner on television, I knew some smart-ass was going to point that out. I'm referring to the whole incest plot-line thing, not the incest itself (which might I add, is extremely less graphic than the regular sex scenes thank god).

And yeah, I get to all the good TV late because I don't watch anything on live TV so I have to go off the recommendations of friends. Then I acquire it and watch it when I have time.

[Amit]

HBO shits out amazing stuff. Just keep tabs on them and you can download their shows in HD in the same week the episode airs.

Shows to watch:
Game of Thrones.
Spartacus (Both series).
Rome.

All HBO TV series and they all have what you want. ;)

[Kornman00]

Ummm, isn't Spartacus a Starz series?

[Amit]

Yes, yes it is. However, Spartacus does show on HBO. Every single HBO series has at least one episode with sex in it. That's what I've noticed. Oh and they are all completely amazing shows otherwise.

[Limited]

Yes, yes it is. However, Spartacus does show on HBO. Every single HBO series has at least one episode with sex in it. That's what I've noticed.

House of Lies and Homeland are both great shows, and start off with a nice serving of boobs.

[Warsaw]

Ummm, isn't Spartacus a Starz series?

Two out of three from this century are. But Starz has more of what TeeKup would be into, considering the latest Torchwood​ serial...

[Cortexian]

Spartacus has lots of explicit sex and nudity of both genders, however the nudity is pretty period authentic from what I've read of the Roman Empire/Gladiator time period. The body types obviously aren't accurate though, there are no fat people in Spartacus really.

There is definately gay sex though, but IIRC that was common back then as well.

[Kornman00]

Common today too

[Cortexian]

Not in the sense that people are open about it and just fuck in the middle of parties (usually).

[TVTyrant]

Not in the sense that people are open about it and just fuck in the middle of parties (usually).
A little place called San Francisco...

Its just that in our society its considered taboo and weird by many while in Rome it was perfectly acceptable for the wealthy to flaunt their bi-sexuality.

Having never read the books: :ohdear:

All the pictures for the new posters are from Season 1 :ugh:

[NullZero]

Is it me, or does the actor who plays Arya have slight derpy-eye-ness.

I watched the entirety of season 1 in a night and morning, was excited and tired at the end - weird feeling. Can't wait for season 2.

[Amit]

It's not just you. Her expression is almost that one passive look of disapproval. It's quite subtle, though.

[NullZero]

She looks mentally exhausted, shocked, lonely, but with a hint of determination.

Not going to read too deeply though, depends how good the actor is.

I think I'll need HBO to make me happy with this. I'm now so depersed at BioWare for the Mass Effect 3 ending that I need SOMETHING of awesomeness in order for my life to contine.

So depressed at BioWare.

HBO, bring me dragons and awesome true-to-book moments please!!!

[Amit]

I'm 68% through A Game of Thrones. So far the TV show is rather consistent in regards to the novel.

[Cortexian]

I just picked up the first 4 books with a gift card I had, I read the first chaptrer and re-watched the first episode and it was pretty bang on tbh.

[Amit]

It's pretty close up until the 6th or 7th episode, I find.

This right here is why I don't WANT to read the books. This is quite possibly the only show where I LOOK FORWARD to the cliffhanger endings. Mostly because I know that since this is HBO they will deliver another equally awesome followup episode.
Is anyone else just really impressed by the size and awesomeness of the Stark dire wolves? I think they're by far one of the most awesome little touches the series has so far.

oh god, lol

[Amit]

I like the small changes in events that crop up in the TV show. It allows people who have read the novels even a little bit of suspense. And when they do it, it's simply to explain a concept from the book that is too detailed for the TV show, so they aren't breaking the story. That's than I can say for the last three Harry Potter films (HBP, DH1, DH2).

Someone on Reddit brought up a good point: Now we have to wait 2 weeks to see the next episode. I was at a loss for a moment until I realized that in some European countries, all the episodes are released on HBO GO a week before we get them. All we need is to have somebody webrip it every time :D Oh and I'm sure they will.

So I just spent the last 2 days watching all of series 1 and the new episodes of series 2. I gotta say I am liking it, I wouldn't say I'm loving it though.

Loving the tits in the show though :D

If a sadistic little fuck having a prostitute bludgeon the other prostitute to a pulp, a midget (who is the best fucking character) blackmails the manwhore of his sister into being a double agent, men and women are being chosen at random for interrogation via rats eating through the chest under extreme heat all the while these people are being starved to death, and a hot red-head giving labor to a smoking darkness monster all while we can see said lady's vag and deflation of her pregnant stomach is pretty tame, then I would be both horrified and utterly curious to see what a wild episode is.

^Agreed, though it makes no fucking sense in a gif. Hashtags are only useful on twitter, where they link similar posts by keyword. I'll also accept them if they make a funny or ironic comment on the post itself, e.g. "My shower keeps going from hot to cold #firstworldproblems" or something. The only thing I can think of is that in that gif they were trying to make "winter" a keyword? Idk, it's dumb.

meh. they just got really gay after that. The story doesn't exist, and it just drags on forever. I've read all five, just far less voraciously than when I first started reading them

alot of books are like that, because the author spends most of hist time building and creating the world, and characters.
it takes them years before they get the first book out the door, but the others follow afterwards with far less polish.

Just started the fifth book yesterday, have been a fan of them so far. Not even close to as good as the Wheel of Time series, but still worth a read in my opinion.

The two burnt bodies weren't actually the boys were they?? They were just the farmer's kids or something like that right? To make Winterfell obidient?

It may be rageworthy, but I really wouldn't call it a crappy plotpoint. If anything, it was the completely predictable result of Robb leading with his dick, not his brain. It effectively ends the war, allowing the plot to move forward from the clusterfuck that is the War of the 5 Kings. I actually really like that they've introduced Jeyne in season 2, so we really get to see Robb being an idiot over time, rather than him just showing up with her at his side and being like "hurr, sorry, I had to do the honorable thing"

I'm glad I read the book or that episode would have me going wtf wtf wtf wtf near the end.

[Amit]

I found the ending for the episode rather abrupt. I felt like there was something more coming and then BAM, end credits. It also feels stupid that the entire battle took place in a single episode. The epic battle on the river. Where was it? :gonk:

[Limited]

I'm glad I read the book or that episode would have me going wtf wtf wtf wtf near the end.I havent read the books, and I can only guess what happened, then again theres a few scenes that are confusing and really only wild guesses would fill in the blanks.

Fantastic episode though.

By the way, theres tons of vidfx tutorials online :D

[Bodzilla]

If the Imps dead i'll be pissed.

[El Lobo]

Tyrion is the man. Great episode.

[RedBaron]

Tyrion noooooo

[thehoodedsmack]

In the books he actually gets most of his nose sliced off in that scene. The series directors have seemingly made the right decision to not spend the time and money on the makeup and facial green-screening that would be required for that effect, as he's still alive as of the latest book.

[Amit]

Spoilers. Oh well, I'm just finishing a Feast for Crows and nothing has been said of him for much of the book so I just assumed he was still alive :P

[n00b1n8R]

Pretty meh episode.
Why was the queen about to kill her kid (and only that one)?
How did the defenders not notice half an invasion force was missing?
Why did the lanisters randomly pop up at the end?
Why was sir fagalot with the lanisters?
Why did they just write off Geofry?
What happened to Stanis?
Why does 2face give a fuck about the bleeding ginger and want to take her home?
Where the fuck has little finger been lately?
WHAT HAPPENED TO JOHN SNOW?!?!?!

[Bodzilla]

*1 of the queens kids was taken away to be married off to another family earlier, so it was just him and geofry.
*what do you mean half an invading force was missing......
*they didnt randomly pop up, they left castle black at a forced march to make it to the capital to defend it.
*Do you mean the kid who was running around with geofry? he IS a lanister. the other guy was with the other baratheon, this is the guy who was sleeping with the queen.
*Geofry's alive an in his bedroom.
*stanis was captured
*2 face resents the king for him being a complete dick and is scared of fire. so his head is now forfeit for deserting, and to give them a big fuck you he'll take sansa with him
*little fingers been master baiting (no f'in idea where he is tbh) (also he's scared of the queen because he reveled he knows the kids are bastards)
*john snow is next episodes cliff hanger.


Where you on drugs this episode or havn't you been paying attention.

[TVTyrant]

Also he likes Sansa, not sexually, but in the way some older people enjoy other people's kids. She's sweet, and even though she won't look at him she's respectful of him. So he doesn't want to see her get hurt by the Lannisters.

n00b have you seen the whole show?

[El Lobo]

Pretty sure he means Loras Tyrell when he says sir fagalot. That is who removed his helm as he entered the throne room near the end of the episode. Have not really been watching every episode, have just read the books, just caught an episode every now and then, so not sure how much you guys are supposed to know yet.

Just a few corrections:

1. Everything Cersei Lannister does, she does for her children. She loves them more than anything else and will do anything to protect them from the world. Since Myrcella got shipped off to Dorne and Joffrey could not return to the Throne room to be called a coward for running to his mother, only Tommen was left to her. The sounds of the battle outside the throne room made her think Stannis was there to kill them all. She wouldn't allow her child to be brutally murdered in the same way that Elia of Dorne (Rhaegar Targaryen's wife) and her children were killed when the Lannisters sacked King's Landing for Robert Baratheon 16 years earlier. She would rather poison him and herself for a reasonably painless death.

2. Salladhor Saan, the mercenary pirate and his ships stayed out of Blackwater Bay to guard the rear against flanking fleets. That's why we didn't see them.

3. Tywin Lannister was previously at Harrenhal, not Castle Black lol. Castle Black is the main fortress for the Knight's Watch. The Tyrells decided that they would help the Lannisters destroy Stannis' forces because they would most likely benefit greatly from it while proving their allegiance to Joffrey. Once the forces were combined they crushed the invaders.

4. Sir Fagalot is Ser Loras Tyrell. He is a fag because he prances around like a hormonal bitch and he was Renly's lover. Remember how I mentioned the Tyrell's switched sides? Well Loras took Renly's armour and wore it while killing Stannis' troops to make it seem like he was Renly's "ghost".


5. Stannis was not captured. He escapes back to his remaining ships and retreats to Dragonstone. This isn't show in the TV show, though.

6. Don't be fooled. Petyr Baelish is afraid of nobody. If he looks afraid it's just a show to make his enemies think he is. The Queen already knows a bunch of people know about her and Jaime. Stannis' openly proclaimed it to the world (sent ravens to every place in Westeros) and then went to war against the Lannisters. Renly did the same.




Also he likes Sansa, not sexually, but in the way some older people enjoy other people's kids. She's sweet, and even though she won't look at him she's respectful of him. So he doesn't want to see her get hurt by the Lannisters.

I'd say that's half of it, but in the books he forced her to kiss him on the lips/mouth before he left. Later on in A Storm of Swords, he says that he should have just fucked Sansa's cunt bloody. I dunno if that was just a threat or something, though. I think it was just a threat.

[TVTyrant]

I think it was more of a threat thing. He doesn't seem the type to want that kind of thing.

[Amit]

Yeah he was pretty drunk too. He could have done it so easily if he wanted to.

Lol. PETA. LOL.

[TeeKup]

I've been told there is a gratuitous amount of gay sex in this show alongside the regular sex. Friend showed me the recent episode and I fucking loved it.

[Amit]

Gay sex? I have yet to see any.

[DarkHalo003]

Unless you mean those two ladies-of-the-night doing each other in front of that guy obsessed with that one woman....that was a hot scene.

[thehoodedsmack]

I believe he's talking about Renly, who is tres homo. You see him in bed with (I shit you not) the Knight of the Flowers, but I don't recall them ever showing them getting it on.

[Amit]

Exactly.

Your sources are inferior :allears:

[Bodzilla]

from what i've heard about the books, he keeps introducing more and more characters making the plot more and more twisted, but rarely actually ends some.

[Limited]

Um, that was probably the worst finale to a tv show I have ever seen. It was so boring.

Also, I totally called that ending.

[Amit]

Many of the characters are just to provide information about a certain are of the world where better known characters will eventually end up.

XSpeeds takes a bit longer than most torrent sites (including private trackers), but once its up you don't spend forever downloading it. I think the initial seeder has some ridiculous fast internet, I'm not sure. Freelancer would know.

[Cortexian]

What do you mean it takes a bit longer than most sites? XSpeeds only releases quality scene releases, so they need to be validated first. And yeah, all the initial seeders are web seeders so they're crazy fast.

[Amit]

For the past 4 weeks I have been checking between demonoid and xspeeds for GoT torrents of the latest episodes. Usually 3-4 of them are up on demonoid by 10:30PM EST, but most of the time their seeders are few and slow, even if their torrents are legit. Xspeeds doesn't show up for over an hour, but when it does you can bet your ass you'll get it a hundred times faster than any GoT torrent on demonoid.

[n00b1n8R]

episode sucked, series is already getting too convoluted. They need to slow it down and give it more depth isntead of "JON SNOW FIGHTS FRIEND, JON KILLS FRIEND, WILDLINGS LIKE JON MORE, JON IS GOING TO SEE THE KING NEXT EPISODE, THE END" for each subplot.

[Bodzilla]

the third series has started?

[n00b1n8R]

nope?

[Emmzee]

This show owns, fuck you. I'm going to murder you in real life. Post your address please.

[Siliconmaster]

The whole idea behind that was that Qhorin Halfhand knew Jon would never be accepted by the Wildlings unless he demonstrated that he was willing to turn on his fellow rangers. In the book it's not quite as drawn out, the two of them get stuck in a cave with the wildlings outside, and (and I can't remember the details) they end up fighting to the death in much the same fashion. Qhorin knew he was going to die, and by sacrificing himself he gave Jon more credit in the Wildlings' eyes than Jon had before. I wouldn't expect them to trust Jon fully yet either, but it's enough that they're willing to let him into their encampment.

If we're playing with fonts I blame my phone, I think I accidentally selected a different font while attempting to type a response. Also that post was pretty oddly phrased, edited now to fix it up a bit.

n00b apparently has read the books and already knows all this. He's just pointing out that people who don't ready the books have no idea about that.

I've never read the books and don't intend to until I lose interest in the TV series. I'm keen to avoid the same frustrations I felt when I watched the Harry Potter films after reading the books :p

What I'm saying is that I'm sure there's more plot than what they're showing in the series. As a viewer, I'd have no problem with them slowing it all the fuck down to keep coherent (and more fleshed out) stories instead of trying to rush through 3 side plots in one 40 minute episode.

[Siliconmaster]

Well if it makes you feel any better, they're splitting the books into two seasons from here on out. So the subplots might be half as quick, and more fleshed out.

I just read the third book this summer, so I wasn't the happiest with the 1st episode because so much was changed. Hopefully they fix some of the things they changed as the season progresses.

[Limited]

Hahah that video was hilarious.

Episode was alright.

[Bodzilla]

the central plot in the books go no where because george gets lost in side story's.

i completely understand why some things are different, because there HAS to be an end goal for the show or it'll just slowly die.

[NotZac]

Anyone catch the first episode this season? Thoughts?

Episode 6 Alternate ending. Spoilers, obv:
