Snake.
04.13.15 | ruining the show for everybody damn |
Gyromania
04.13.15 | how? would you rather wait a week for every episode? it's only four anyways. say what you will, this is a gift |
mifzal
04.13.15 | what about the thrones parties? |
Let
04.13.15 | ^[2] I'm gonna stick with waiting it out |
Gyromania
04.13.15 | wait patiently for them to air... obviously. i don't know why anyone would want to do that, but hey. |
Deviant.
04.13.15 | Thought I remembered reading somewhere that they leaked in like 240p or something? Even if they're webrip quality what's the point when you'll binge watch the first batch of episodes then have to wait like 5 weeks for the next one. I ain't got time for that, this ain't Netflix. I've got Daredevil to watch man! |
DrMaximus
04.13.15 | I downloaded the first four episodes. Quality is dec. I'm tempted to watch them but the thought of having to wait 5 weeks for the next one is unsettling. |
Gyromania
04.13.15 | i don't mind waiting the five weeks if i can see all of these now. it gives me time to catch up on other shows anyway. they are webrip quality. surprisingly good. i can't not overindulge in this lol. game of thrones is one of my addictions, and when it's right there, so readily available, i can't resist :P |
Gyromania
04.13.15 | dev: i've heard great things about daredevil. i'm still far behind on tv. people have recommended i watch gotham, arrow (is that what it's called?), and flash and i haven't started any. was a little skeptical of checking out daredevil |
Deviant.
04.13.15 | From what I've heard Daredevil is really good, though I've yet to watch an episode myself. As for the others, I've only seen Gotham and to be honest I wasn't a fan. The others seem a little cartoon-y, sort of "lite" young adult material |
deathschool
04.13.15 | I die in the 6th episode tbh |
Halfman
04.13.15 | Just watch them. You know spoilers are gonna be all over the internet anyway. |
Let
04.13.15 | get the Unspoiler extention or something like it |
Gameofmetal
04.13.15 | Add a spoiler notice first, just to be polite
Don't download the episodes, that's shitty, and it's better to wait
The episode was amaze.
Also read the books because, as hard as it is to believe, this already incredible show is topped by the source material |
RadicalEd
04.13.15 | Have only watched the first episode so far. I thought the 4th season, while still great, definitely had some of the less exciting episodes, so I hope they can return to being consistently great. The first episode definitely was a very good setup episode in my book. It had enough meat (with the whole manson stuff) to be more than just a big exposition dumb and it focused on the right things. Although I wasn't to sure what the point of that intro-cersei scene was. Am I supposed to feel symphatetic towards her because of that scene? because she acted like a major bitch as usual, even before everything went to shit for her. Obviously I'm very excited about Denny/Tyrion. |
Gyromania
04.13.15 | gameofmetal: "and you should know, if you somehow don't already: spoilers ahead!"
and why is it shitty to download the episodes? i've purchased every single season of game of thrones on brd, as well as lots of other merch, from posters to hats and apparel. i'll be purchasing the fifth season as well, regardless of when or how i see it.. |
DrMaximus
04.13.15 | Have you see all four episodes, Gyro? |
Gyromania
04.13.15 | i have, i couldn't help myself :P
i'll just be hanging off this cliff now for the next 5 weeks (seriously though, what a terrible way to leave things for a month) |
adr
04.13.15 | i think i will watch the second one today tbh... first one was a nice start, also lol being a "shitty" thing to watch them
are they good Gyro :D |
WatchItExplode
04.13.15 | I'll be hanging on a cliff indefinately. Hopefully The Winds of Winter comes out before the next two seasons of the show finish up. I won't hold my breath. |
Gameofmetal
04.13.15 | I meant that the spoiler warning should be in the title
and it just feels wrong to me, takes the excitement out of it. Now that you've seen them, you'll have to hold in the details because many haven't seen the later episodes and now have to wait 5 weeks for a new one.
Btw Martin is hinting that he can get the next book out by the end of this year or next year. |
WatchItExplode
04.13.15 | Either way I'm bummed I can't advance the story for 1-3 years. I'm invested. |
JokineAugustus
04.13.15 | [Spoiler] I don't think Mance is really dead, at least in the books it's not him who's burnt because of Mellisandre. |
JokineAugustus
04.13.15 | never mind apparently he's really dead |
DrMaximus
04.13.15 | Mance, poor bastard |
Gyromania
04.13.15 | gameofmetal: if people can't deduce there are going to be spoilers in a list titled 'game of thrones season 5 leak,' then, well, it's really their own fault. i prefaced the big spoiler with a spoiler warning anyway, which wasn't even necessary given what i just said.
adr: i'd say they're pretty enjoyable. surprisingly slow build for the first four episodes, but the end of ep 4 had me raging. you should definitely check 'em out!
and ofc r.i.p., mance. we must pay our due respects to the fallen |
zaruyache
04.13.15 | I'm cool with putting eps online after they show (since that's how the internet works now), but leaking eps weeks in advance is a bit of a dick move. Thankfully this isn't the Legend of Korra all over again because that still bothers me. |
apert
04.13.15 | I watched all 4 yesterday, there are some serious changes from the books and a lot of the new stuff is fan fiction tier writing. Also its so streamlined at this point its starting to piss me off, so many characters missing but I guess they have to make compromises for the sake of entertaining TV. I'm sure show viewers will like it but the shows been going downhill since season 1 for me, this will probably be the last season I watch. |
Gyromania
04.13.15 | there's this gross misconception that original = best. it HAS to stick to the original formula or it's heresy. i've noted a lot of the changes they've made from the books and some of them are honestly for the best. martin is a producer on the show and says a lot of the changes they've made he wishes he thought of first. at any rate, it's ridiculous to think they can stick to the books perfectly with only 10 episodes per season |
Gameofmetal
04.13.15 | Nah the books are by far better, it's really no competition, but a good 95 percent of the changes have been perfectly understandable and fine.
The Grey worm + Missandei bit needs to go though |
JokineAugustus
04.13.15 | "the shows been going downhill since season 1" I agree this season has been pretty silly so far, but I disagree that its gone downhill since season 1. Season's 3 and 4 were easily 2 of the best seasons of television I've seen |
zaruyache
04.13.15 | I want them to go away from the books pretty significantly since if they don't they'll spoil the books and I'd rather that not happen kthx. The more misdirection from the book canon the better. |
FearThyEvil
04.13.15 | I'm going to wait since it gives me something to look forward to on Sunday. Plus, I'm behind on other shows anyway so it gives me time. |
TalonsOfFire
04.14.15 | I need to see Daredevil, also first episode was great with a very intense ending. I like Jon Snow more and more with each season |
Deviant.
04.14.15 | "Btw Martin is hinting that he can get the next book out by the end of this year or next year."
No way in hell he'll release it this year. GRRM is notorious for being waaaay too optimistic with his projected release dates
"I want them to go away from the books pretty significantly since if they don't they'll spoil the books and I'd rather that not happen kthx. "
But now that they're heading into uncharted territory, how will you even know? |
dimsim3478
04.14.15 | watched 'em all and it's honestly worth the binge; i've personally never found watching one episode a week of any show as satisfying as multiple episodes in a row. plus there's other stuff to fill that time until the next new episode like DAREDEVIL.
hope i don't get fined for downloading the leak, though. anti-piracy legislation in Australia has been in a pretty dramatic state recently with the whole Dallas Buyers Club thing, and there's been whispers of HBO monitoring illegal download traffic. warning to fellow Australians: tread lightly. |
RadicalEd
04.14.15 | I hate that people who read the books are almost always to dense to understand that you have to streamline a TV-Series/Movie in order to make it a successful adaptation, because you gotta play to the strengths of your chosen medium. |
