Leaked Episode Discussion (S07E06) [** Spoilers, Obviously... **]

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Episode 6 has been leaked in Spain apparently - after someone pushed a button accidentally or so I hear.. Time to avoid the internet for a week...

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

So just to recap; the entire episode six aired on HBO in Spain in full HD today because someone at SpainHBO ****ed up and pushed a button 5 days early.

And yet despite having the entire episode air in its entirety, in HD, and in English, it is now seven hours later and not a single soul in Spain has been able to figure out how to upload the episode. All we got was drunk Spaniard pointing his phone at his tv and streaming the entire episode but only for mobile users (because **** people using computers or who don't have instagram amirite?) while tipping his phone this way and that and jabbering and laughing in Spanish. On top of that, we have another Spaniard trying to STREAM the episode using streaming services like twitch and youtube thinking that people will be able to see it before it gets taken down. After being banned from twitch and most likely getting his youtube suspended, he "gives up" after seemingly being the only person in whole country who knows how to capture video properly, yet doesn't know how to upload it to a torrent site.

God has truly abandoned us

There is a torrent online where the file is over 1Gb so it will hopefully be the right one.

or you could just wait

the sooner you watch that bootleg the longer you have to wait for episode 7

Pugzilla

Was hoping for a 1080p file....

Yeah but given what happened when episode 4 was leaked, you couldn't go near youtube especially without being spoiled.

I did not even know that season 4 was leaked until now

So I think I'm safe

In fairness this is a place to discuss GoT, there should be a thread for episode 6 if there's people who are willing to discuss it.

Obviously not this thread, but I don't think there's many on boards that would intentionally spoil.

The threads for specific episodes are always locked until the episode is aired, regardless of whether it has been leaked or not.

I never really understand people who'll watch these things using anything but a direct digital rip. Cams and other second-hand rips are OK, but usually still really variable in quality. It's a bit like reading a book with torn pages and scribbles all over it; you'll get the core of the story, but you won't be able to immerse yourself in it, and you'll miss out some tiny subtleties.

I'd much rather wait 4/5 days to watch it full quality on my screen at home than watch a dodgy copy on my phone screen in the bathroom.
Horses for courses I guess.

I don't understand why the episode threads weren't opened for episode 4 once it was leaked. Once it's out there people are going to watch it, so let them discuss it.

Saying that, maybe the mod wanted to wait for a decent quality version before watching it and didn't want to have to mod a thread for an episode they wouldn't see for 3 or 4 days.

It's a 1080p video.

1080P is a resolution, it doesn't mean the quality is good. It could be a cam job upscaled to 1080P or could be someone videoing it on their phone pointed at the tv.

Pedantic much? My point was obvious. It is a 1080p direct rip.

Not trying to be pedantic here. A lot of people don't actually know what 1080P means and just think it means really good quality. For all I know you're one of these people (no offence intended there by the way) and you just looked at the torrent site, seen it was 1080p and thought it was a good quality version. Glad to hear it is actually a direct rip though.

Gendry, who was shaping up to be a really important character disappeared from the Series, last seen rowing a boat. There were fan images of him and other characters on SS something Something that had disappeared for a while.

RE Liam, last week's 'fewer' remark was for the audience and not for the benefit of the person he was talking to. Too much is not a good thing, but at least they are breaking the 4th wall with the same character, and not everybody is doing it.

They're just two examples for me of how badly the show has gone downhill so quickly. It's not the kind of show that needs knowing nods to the fans, and they're really incongruous and jarring. The rowing one wasn't quite as bad, but the less/fewer thing was ridiculous. Last week also had such gems as "Dickon *snigger*", and the bizarre Holy Grail-like two guards arguing over who'd go and tell Sansa about Arya, while she just buggered off. Some hope she has of holding that castle against anyone with guards like that. All started with the bloody Ed Sheeran cameo, jumped the shark at that point.

What's with the big trek north to capture a wight? Can they not used Tyrion's teleportation device to just teleport one to them. Or teleport Cersei beyond the wall?

Hello again, Kevin Eldon. Goodbye again, Kevin Eldon. So did Gendry just kill two poor actors who were practicing their Goldcloak parts for their new play?

Great smuggling route by Davos though, landing on a wide beach in open view in broad daylight.

You're mad.
I'd much rather wait until Monday when everyone else is watching, after the excitement of waiting all week!
The going onto work on Tuesday to dissect it all.

Watching in on the TV with a cuppa and some munchies.

You're going to have almost a 2 week wait for the final episode.

EagererBeaver

I'll of course never do such a thing as send anyone a link.

However, if anybody wanted to look for it themselves, they'd soon find it in, ahem, all the usual places.

I thought that was the point though. It was a smuggler's route well known to certain (all?) guards for which a price was set to turn a blind eye. If you tried to land an army there, that's a different story. But rowboats with a couple of smugglers bringing viagra to the city is a protection racket.

It's out there and easy to find, everyone else will not be waiting until Monday. Sure some will, but a huge amount of people won't wait - and I'll be watching later to reduce the chance of something being spoiled.

I'm going to watch episode 6 tonight, I'll definitely see spoilers if I wait.

I was in work, saw an article online about the leak. Hit the comments to see if it was legitimate and the top comment was a gif from the new episode.

Pretty big scene too. So yeah...there are spoilers out there.
I'm not really too annoyed though, just makes me want to watch it more!

Are people actually watching it on TV?
Everyone I know has been torrenting it.

Daledge

As someone who spends more time on Facebook, Youtube and Reddit than I'd care to admit, I will most likely be watching it after work to avoid spoilers. Gendry's return and the death of the Tarlys were both spoiled for me and I was only half a day late!

Plenty of people stay up to watch it with the Yanks.

After waiting a year for new episodes that's a breeze

Have been watching it on Sky Atlantic. Why arse around looking for Torrents in decent quality when I can just let the box record it for me in broadcast quality HD?

Bully for you.

I don't have Sky Atlantic. The quality of this leak is broadcast quality HD.

"Arsing around looking for torrents" literally takes ten seconds.

I have a nice app that lets me watch in full 1080p on my TV.;)

Yeah, once I read it leaked it took less than 30 seconds to get a 1080p torrent going on my phone - no arsing around involved. Cast it to the TV when I get home.

I'd find it more hassle trying to set up the box to record it than finding a torrent of it.

Pugzilla

Some people think torrent sites are black magic and that you'll die if you try to use one.

The way HBO are running this, the final episode will be out tomorrow.

Nothing wrong with watching a leaked episode a few days early if the quality is daycent.

What I don't get is people who knowingly read the leaked plot of the series months ago.

The magic of watching Game of Thrones is not knowing what's going to happen.

Times like this I'm glad that most of my friends don't watch GoT :eek:

And no, I don't know what's wrong with them either :pac:

not sure whether to watch tonight or wait now... didn't bother watching the leaks last season (or one before?)

5star02707

Somehow it's in a decent quality 1080p i skimmed through it but i'm still outside and maybe watch it tonight.

It's about to go down :pac:

Ah man. You lot have me tempted to watch it now.

Btw, I'm a tv watcher.

F**k. If I watch it now then the wait for the last episode is gonna be Torture.

If the episode is out it's out unless you can avoid all social media platforms, had to watch it during lunch time :pac: couldn't help it in the end because for sure someone will spoil it to me

EagererBeaver

Please. The thread for talking about it. It's needed.
