    What a clusterfcuk!

    People get mad paranoid they're being 'spoilered' even though they have no idea whether they are or not. :p

    ALSO - that trailer looks great. My missis and I are looking forward to Visery's scene!

    For those who are interested, the complete "A Song of Ice and Fire" (all the books published up until now so doesn't include "A Dance With Dragons" and therefore is complete only in the sense that it is incomplete) is available for $20 or approximately €15 on Kindle.

    Definitely going to re-read these before A Dance with Dragons and there was no way I'd be picking up those heavy dead tree things again :p

    Me too. The wife hasn't gotten that far in the book yet so it should be a good episode for her.

    Episode 6 was just awesome! The show is getting even better.

    Bronn's duel, Viserys' crowning and Peter Dinklage is really getting in to his character.

    Wish I had HBO so I could watch the 7th episode!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,266 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    Are HBO doing two episodes in a row or something?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,222 ✭✭✭Scruff


    they dont seem to have, at least from what i can see that the cousins are posting over at the moment...


  • Subscribers Posts: 32,855 ✭✭✭✭5starpool


    One was on HBO Go only, which I believe is some sort of mobile only service, so might not be as easy to 'cousinify'.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    hbo go was being hammered, lots of people weren't able to actually watch episode 7. once it sorts itself out, im sure our cousins will get cracking.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

    Why? Are you a particularly attractive female? I only get a 500 max inbox I wanna save that for all the potential women who could possibly, maybe, some day contact me...

    Looking forward to 6 tonight. Not too pushed on watching them on Sundays, we're enjoying our Monday evenings watching it. Really is moving a lot faster than I thought it would. Not sure what's going to be in any particular episode.

    ewwww. methinks i'll wait for the 720p post drop.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,920 ✭✭✭AnCapaillMor


    Fecking neighbor called in at the worse time, still got the end bit tho.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,129 ✭✭✭pljudge321


    Aidan Gillan delivers the infamous line perfectly. Last three episodes should be brilliant.

    The episode 7 one I watched, while not perfect, was still fine to watch. No less exciting because I've read the books. Excellent stuff. Pity the series wasn't 12 hours long though really.

    What do you get when you cross two amazing TV shows?
    Arrested Westeros


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,266 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    My o/h was in absolute shock at Vicerys being crowned and
    Ned being double-crossed by Littlefinger, even though she didn't trust him at all, she thought it'd be later on before he'd cross Ned
    (spoilers for episode 7)

    Okay this is easily my favourite show at the moment!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,129 ✭✭✭pljudge321

    No.

    *gives u an odd look*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,222 ✭✭✭Scruff


    NOOOOooooooooo!!!!!!!

    The cousins sent me the last weeks episode instead of ep 7. Damn you cousins and your lack of attention
    :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,129 ✭✭✭pljudge321


    No.

    *gives u an odd look*

    You might want to not read the sci-fi thread in that case, its for the books as well and I had that post written out with spoilers included but changed it at the last minute because it looked like Zapp hadn't read the books.

    Absolutely. As a book reader my anticipation is partially to see how certain scenes are handled and partially to read the uproar in the TV thread!

    I think Song of Fire and Ice was the first book that I had to put down due to 'plot shock' on a number of occasions.


    Incidently reading Clash of Kings at the moment. There is a flashback/vision scene were you see a young Aegon Targaryen, his father proclaims that 'he has a song, he is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of fire and ice'. I had forgotten this scene, didn't realise 'song of fire and ice' was used in the plot. Now was this Aegon V The Unlikely (Grandfather of Aerys the Mad King)or Aegon the son of Prince Rhaegar?
