Television Game of Thrones (TV) • The watch has ended

[Damien]

What happens with speculation? I'm not going to make any comments on what's happened in the show, but there could be others who have seen the leaked episodes, and are less honest with it, and speculate about future episodes with info that they're already know about stuff that's going to happen.

If anyone who has seen the leaked episodes does that, they will get a permanent Entertainment Forum ban. End of.

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

Why not start a "leaked TV" thread if people want to talk about it?

You can go to the book thread.

Good, that seems fair.

 

[RedSky]

That's on my list of places to see when I go NZ. How is it?

Visually amazing... just go when its warm! Doing the Routeburn in a few days.

 

[Dante]

I doubt the leak will affect HBO too much. It's not like they're going to miss out on advertising revenue. They're a subscription based channel and people will still need to take out a contract to watch episodes 5 to 10. Actually, the only viewers who will have downloaded the leaked episodes will be the pirates who were going to download it anyway. There might be a slight knock on effect with syndication numbers, but I doubt it'll be significant.

BTW, episode 1 has aired in the US. We can discuss that now.

***Season 5 Start:

Spoiler

This Tyrion/Varys partnership looks like it will be interesting.

 

[Dante]

Petyr Baelish's accent is all over the fecking place. His scenes are barely watchable.

 

[Cooksen]

Spoiler

Who are those 2 girls at the start of episode 1?

 

[Neelu]

Spoiler

Who are those 2 girls at the start of episode 1?

Spoiler

Cercei and probably some sister or hers.

 

[sizzling sausages]

Spoiler

Who are those 2 girls at the start of episode 1?

It was a flashback from Cersei of her and a friend of hers.

 

[Slevs]

Petyr Baelish's accent is all over the fecking place. His scenes are barely watchable.

So it's not just me then? One minute he's Scottish, next he's English, then Welsh.

Cersei and a friend of hers.

 

[Red Stone]

Spoiler

Who are those 2 girls at the start of episode 1?

Spoiler

Definitely Cersei, since she was mentioned by name. I'm going to guess that the dark-haired one was Elia Martell. I think Oberyn mentioned something about going to visit the Lannisters when they were kids during his big speech in Tyrion's cell. The other girl definitely had the Dornish look.

 

[sullydnl]

So it's not just me then? One minute he's Scottish, next he's English, then Welsh

Nope, it's not just you. His accent is awful. He started off with a normal voice in the first season but since then it's mutated into a weird Irish/Scottish/Welsh/English/Pirate/Batman hybrid. He also places emphasis on random parts of his sentences for no apparent reason. Weird that this must have been a deliberate choice on his part and even weirder that nobody has made him stop already.

 

[Red Stone]

It's probably because Baelish is a shifty bastard with fingers in all the pies. His allegiance to no-one and everyone, based on what suits him best, is symbolized in the fact that his accent is from nowhere and everywhere.

Just kidding. He sounds like a moron.

 

[Mali_Zeus]

Yeah, he sounds strange to say the least. I dont like that actor, didnt like him in the Wire too.

 

[DatIrishFella]

Really good premiere. Sets up the season nicely. Still doesn't feel like 50+ mins of TV. Goes by too fast.

 

[Eboue]

The theme song feels like at least 49 minutes though.

 

[LitterBug]

Can someone please give me a very brief summary of this series as I hear a lot being talked about it and have never watched it.

Tits. Someone gets killed. More tits. Ice. Another death. Tits.

pretty accurate but you are missing some tits and goblets of wine

 

[Organic Potatoes]

Hodor.

 

[Wowi]

Didn't want to spoil too much!

 

[Moonred]

Good start. Planning to watch one each week, not much hope of sticking to the plan.

 

[Andy_Cole]

I did a bad thing and downloaded the leaks. Started episode 1 but the quality was too poor and I switched it off to download episode 1 in HD. Pissed my wife off massively haha. She's not as fussy with me with quality and was up for watching all 4 episodes.

Good start to the season. No surprises really. Although I had no idea that Cersei's cousin killed Robert Baratheon haha.

Excited for next week as I'm excited to see Arya's story.

 

[LeChuck]

I spent the whole of ep 1 s5 trying to remember what happened at the end of season 4.

 

[Andy_Cole]

I spent the whole of ep 1 s5 trying to remember what happened at the end of season 4.

I re watched the last two episodes of season 4 last night to avoid that problem.

 

[RonaldoVII]

I'm disappointed the episodes have been leaked as I'd have liked to watch them sequentially, one each week. There's already a dick at work hinting at spoilers and he's done it before to those who haven't watched the episode straight away. I'll watch the 4 and hope there aren't any more this season.

 

[Agent Red]

Yeah, he sounds strange to say the least. I dont like that actor, didnt like him in the Wire too.

He's one of my favourites, but he has an unusually shifty style in all his roles

Yeh I'm not happy either. I'm scared I'll run into a spoiler on social media or someone I know will ruins it for me.

 

[PlayerOne]

Spoiler

Did anyone find that cut to Khaleesi in bed to be very odd? Like they left something out.

 

[Duffy]

Decent start...really sounds like big things are coming this season - we're in for a hell of a ride me thinks.

 

[Andy_Cole]

Spoiler

Yeh it felt exactly like that.

 

[Randall Flagg]

Not a whole lot happened, plus I'd forgotten everything

 

[Rooney1987]

Every season of GoT the first 2 or 3 episode are always full of short scenes, a catch up on the previous season, introduce new characters and laying the ground work for the future season. It's a tough job but I thought that was a good start.

 

[Sylar]

Nice start. Also not happy the episodes were leaked for a show like this. Hard enough avoiding spoilers from the you know what, but now actual eps?

Anyway, enjoyed the episode and was happy with the start and where they are going. Jon Snow may not know anything but hes still a badass.

 

[PlayerOne]

Yeh it felt exactly like that.

The cnuts cut out the best bit!

Spoiler

I heard from season 4 onwards she signed a contract saying she doesn't have to get naked anymore.

 

[sullydnl]

The leaked episodes were just from the previews given to critics, I think. It shouldn't happen again this season so ye just have to wait it out until after episode four.

 

[PlayerOne]

Spoiler

I heard from season 4 onwards she signed a contract saying she doesn't have to get naked anymore.

Spoiler

Yup, that's correct. Don't think she'll be doing anymore nudity, which is a shame really. Still, the editing was weird.

She should finish what she started.
