tripsis Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The premiere was good, did a nice job of reintroducing us to the show, and where it's headed this season. It also reminded me, I need to touch up on some of their name. Could someone quickly remind me of the boy at very ends riding away on the carts role? All I remember is that he's with the Stark girl.[hide=Spoilers]That's Gendry. He's Robert Baratheon's bastard son. He worked as a blacksmith's apprentice. He had to run off with Arya when they start killing all of Robert's bastard children.[/hide] - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepole Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Oh thats right. I thought it was interesting that the first major death of the season was that of infant but I guess they don't want to risk anyone else attempting to claim the throne/ over throw Jeffery.

nine naked men Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Just a heads up, Episode 2 was released early on HBOGo in the Netherlands. It's now available at all disreputable "retailers". It's pretty great, if you're okay with having to wait two weeks for a new episode. sleep like dead men wake up like dead men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure the next episode is in two weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range_This11 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I think he means that if you watch the 2nd week's episode now, you'd have to wait two weeks to see another new episode as next Sunday's episode you would have already seen...which I am totally doing. I can never follow the characters' names so well since I haven't read any of the books, but I find the show to be very well done and I am a big fan of a lot of sci-fi/fantasy novels. I know the general plot, but I know I'm missing out on a few non-verbals that are going on.

Jonanananas Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hmmm, I've only been able to find episode 2 on very shady streaming sites (Ones that ask you to disable noscript, adblock, all that stuff completely, not just for the site itself)... Anyone can drop me a hint on where to search? Else I'll just wait another week I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeon_ Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I'm sort of irritated we got rid of Sky in our house. It means we don't have access to season 2! :(Unless we can download/stream them that is.... Many believe that the 1980 eruption of Mt. Saint Helens was a catostrophic geological event, in reality it was the day that Jimi Hendrix returned to Earth from the next world and actually stood up next to a mountain and chopped it down with the edge of his hand.-Random Youtuber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonanananas Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I've found a stream of it now (With italian subtitles :P)...it was not bad, but felt far too short. The pace is still kinda slow and few important things happened(Or rather, few BIG things happened. Those scenes were mostly important still) I am wondering though, about that last scene.... [hide]Did this happen like that in the books, with Craster attacking Jon after he saw him with the baby? No, I'm not that kind of guy, but I can't remember this at all and I'm wondering where this is supposed to be heading?[/hide] I am annoyed though that I can't legally get this though(Okay, okay, I can but only late and with german synchro too... ), especially since both streams I've seen so far have been getting more out of synch over time AND I would actually be willing/wanting to pay money for this :P (I'll probably pick up the dvd to make up for the streaming) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The information about Craster giving his sons to the White Walkers was more implied through conversation and stuff rather than outright shown. As for where to find it, I don't really know what the rules on files and stuff are so PM me and I can shoot you a link if you want. sleep like dead men wake up like dead men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine naked men Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 To be honest, I don't hold out much hope for it being anything better than pretty shit. I think the Game of Thrones universe will hamstring it in the long-term, they would've probably been better off creating their own bog-standard fantasy world. Of course, I'm assuming it's being made to cash in on the popularity GoT's gained over the past year or so, so I guess originality wasn't really an option. sleep like dead men wake up like dead men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripsis Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I'm not really a fan of the browser/F2P aspects. To me that almost always means "subpar game."

Jonanananas Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Is it just me or do these episodes seem to be a lot shorter(Not just in actual time, but in terms of what happens). I feel like I could sum it up in a few sentences without leaving out anything important... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonanananas Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Yeah, it's obvious that this has to happen in some respect....but they could at least make the episodes last the full hour again, imo, and there is also some stuff they could easily cut. E.g. that Joffrey in his bedroom scene - was that really necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
