Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon!

[WildRaubtier]

I noticed, in the last trailer actually, that Oberyn does indeed use a spear in his duel.

I aint so angry anymore.

Also I'm calling Oberyn.

I super love this. Especially Joffrey's response. I've never seen him actually look like or do or say anything remotely human!

Also, I thought Bran was Meera for a moment.

I aint so angry anymore.

Also I'm calling Oberyn.
Speaking of Oberyn, I hope the show has the stones to show him having sex with men in the show, and not just women.

[The Man]

They gave Renly and Loras a sex scene so I'm not too worried.

[Shlup]

Love those. Favorites (no spoilers):

It's not easy being a Stark. Be it Game of Thrones, Iron Man or Till Death.

Oh, what am I saying, it's completely easy being Iron Man.

[Noctis Caelum]

They gave Renly and Loras a sex scene so I'm not too worried.
Yes, but showing a powerful man in a show that is also bisexual is rather unheard of.

Beautiful Death (http://www.beautifuldeath.com)

Love this site.

[The Man]

They gave Renly and Loras a sex scene so I'm not too worried.
Yes, but showing a powerful man in a show that is also bisexual is rather unheard of. Doctor Who? Torchwood? Though both the Doctor and Captain Jack might be better described as pansexual, but still.

[Shlup]

One of the main guys on Revenge is a computer nerd bajillionare and he's bisexual.

[Shaibana]

thats a genius way to get them silent

[Shlup]

im so curious if Sansa will get out of kings landing, she is one of my favorite characters

I love her! She shows so much growth. BJ and I just re-watched the episode where she's told she has to marry Tyrion, and the look on her face as she watched Littlefinger sail away is so heartbreaking.

Thanks! I guess Rob and I better do a marathon this weekend! :D

[Shaibana]

April 6th

Thanks! I guess Rob and I better do a marathon this weekend! :D

lol, u better get up early if you want to watch it all in 1 weekend xD

[Jinx]

Well, we've got two whole weekends and the evenings this week. I think we'll be okay. The episodes are an hour each, but the seasons aren't that long. Honestly, we could probably get through all three seasons if we watched Friday night-Sunday night this weekend.

[Jinx]

I know that it was more or less decided that we change our sets on April 1st, but who's with me that we change them today since the show starts in exactly a week? :D (I'm just really excited about bring out my gorgeous set Rantz made me last year).

[Shaibana]

i day earlyer cant hurt i guess, im with you

This sounds much more sinister with my current set.

[Agent Proto]

I might just sit this one out, unless someone wants to bother making a proper Sam the Slayer set for me.

Still, NEXT WEEK!!! HYPE MACHINE

[Ayen]

I'm not sure if I'll be able to part with my Chloe avatar, but like Agent Proto I am so hyped!

[Kalevala]

I may not be in this season, but trust that I am coming eventually.

[Shorty]

If you have a house you belong to, you can do that! Lonely Paper Star used an imagined actress for a House Martell character last year.

[Ayen]

Oh, that's easy. I swear my loyalties to the North.

[Night Fury]

I don't know who to be this year :(

*weeps*

[Shaibana]

Lol shorty, seeing you avatar and sig makes me regret not choosing Maegery Tyrell... i love Nathalie dormer!

[Jinx]

Did someone say, "For the night is dark and full of terrors"? :D

[Shaibana]

no nobody said that :l

.. i hate how much she says that.

[Shorty]

Lol shorty, seeing you avatar and sig makes me regret not choosing Maegery Tyrell... i love Nathalie dormer!

I love her as well! You're welcome to be her too, if you like, but not seeing Sansa as your set would be weird xD

[Jinx]

Maergery is probably my legit favorite character on the show. I love the Tyrells. TEAM TYRELL.

[Shauna]

Oh is it that time of the year again? I don't believe the character I was last year had any more screen time last season. xD I don't even remember her name. I will dig things out.

I don't even have that cool signature anymore. Argh. xD

[Dat Matt]

I want my set to be buttocks of one of Tyrion's Wenches. How quickly would it be removed if my Avatar an signature was a butt?

[Shorty]

Care to find out?

[Freya]

Got my avatar changed but I'll have to wait until I get home from work to change my Sig.

Jorah represent!

[Shaibana]

Lol shorty, seeing you avatar and sig makes me regret not choosing Maegery Tyrell... i love Nathalie dormer!

I love her as well! You're welcome to be her too, if you like, but not seeing Sansa as your set would be weird xD

it feels like betrayal to get rid of sansa :(
damn.. such a dilema.. can i have both?

[Dat Matt]

I opted for Jamie Lannister instead.

[Shaibana]

a but and a stump

[Dat Matt]

Care to find out?

That didn't last long :P

[Shorty]

It was in the interest of protecting Shauna. For shame, man!

[Shaibana]

[Dat Matt]

It really is. I have to change everything now.

Don't worry shorty, Butts will find a way. Butts 4 lyfe.

I can't find any good quotes on the internet. Or any bad ones.

[Carl the Llama]

I would have thought that theundeadhero would have been a white walker lol, whatever floats your boat :p

It still raises the decade-old question of if I'm a hero to the undead or undead myself and happen to be a hero. I'm not telling anyone the answer :p

So the first three episodes were shipped out to critics. Reviews? Very positive. Yay almost here!

[Noctis Caelum]

I'd just like to say I appreciate the ninja moves those of you who haven't read the books are probably doing to avoid spoilers on the internet right now.
I imagine you'd have to be a ninja to avoid the spoilers. Gotta avoid all comments in any youtube video related to Game of Thrones, that's for sure. And avoid people on Facebook entirely. I remember during the first season, so many people got spoiled of Ned's death. Actually, I think that is still more popular than "SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE LOL".

[Carl the Llama]

You can stream it live on HBO Go and HBO Connect, though you might have to pay for the service, and you also have to live in the states for Go, not sure about Connect though.

[Ayen]

I already had two rather important plot details spoiled for me by venturing onto the Facebook page, sadly. The bright side is I don't know the full story behind either so I can still watch and enjoy it.

[Jinx]

Or you can just wait until 15 minutes after it airs and torrent it? Just avoid spoilers (don't go on Facebook, Twitter, this thread, etc) until you've watched it.

[Carl the Llama]

Spoiler warning: people on youtube comments are determined to post spoilers, if you haven't read the books steer well clear of them.

Some people have no respect, just found about half a dozen spoilers on a single video... I would be highly surprised if other videos were not given similar treatment.

[Shaibana]

I already had two rather important plot details spoiled for me by venturing onto the Facebook page, sadly. The bright side is I don't know the full story behind either so I can still watch and enjoy it.

meeh, i got it worse!
got all the books here at home from my bf´s brother.
but theres a little extra book with it, that has all the houses in it.
even that book has spoilers in it :l
i looked at a name.. and after that was writen down that that person died -.-
luckely it wasnt that big of a spoiler since it was already spoiled before :l

@ carl, ive already learned to avoid comment since season 1 xD

i always look my shows on ch131.com .. so ill watch it monday morning :3

[Carl the Llama]

Just found this video, it's highly amusing:

l3A37-pBlgI

Edit: swearing and probably NSFW

[Ayen]

If I'm up at the time it airs I'll most likely watch it then. There are two shows I must watch the second they come on, Doctor Who and Game of Thrones. If I miss them I'm either asleep, lost power or dead. Though this will be the first time since becoming a fan I'll be following it weekly instead of just watching it all back to back.

[Shaibana]

Just found this video, it's highly amusing:

l3A37-pBlgI

Edit: swearing and probably NSFW

that voice... i so smurfing anoying

[Jinx]

Honestly, the first book came out in the 90s. The show has been on for three years. At this point, if you can't be too arsed to read the books, I'm really not that arsed about hiding spoilers either. No one makes you read YouTube comments.

[Shorty]

Just to be clear, open and unaired book spoilers that have not come to pass in the show yet will not be tolerated in this thread. This thread is for the show, and if you go around spoiling what comes in the show for other people, you're a jerk. Watch the video Freed posted to find out what the cast thinks of you if you spoil things!

Just don't do it! :jess:

[Jinx]

Have I ever done that? No. That's a rude thing to do, and also it's the rules of this thread. I'm just saying: don't expect people to feel sympathetic towards you if you stumble across a spoiler in YouTube comments.

[Shorty]

I wasn't talking to you specifically, more to everyone generally. But you did say that you aren't arsed about hiding spoilers, so I thought I would just clarify. My apologies!

[Jinx]

Don't worry. :) And at least in this thread, I always hide spoilers, cos thems the rules. I've even asked mods a couple times to put spoilers on things that are half-spoilers.

[Shorty]

Oh, thank you very much :D

[Carl the Llama]

I just read that Sky Atlantic will be doing a live showing in the UK of the premier, it will be on at exactly the same time here as in the US... that's 2am for those interested.

[Shlup]

Aw, I just realized I have to pass the Spoiler Nazi baton. We're all counting on you now, Shorty!

[Shorty]

Don't worry, I'm ready with my spoiler beating stick. :smash:

[Psychotic]

Why is it a spoiler to say that Person X dies when everyone dies? Valar morghulis, my friends.

[The Man]

I think this video is one of the best summations I've seen of the series' appeal. Warning: Spoilers for the first season (like you don't know them already by this point).

Between the Lines: Game of Thrones (http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/oancitizen/between-the-lines/42837-between-the-lines-game-of-thrones)

Yeah, but how many people were reading the books in the 90s? Exactly.
Book readers and people that only watch the show should be separated into two different people. Nothing worse than a smug-as-all-smurf book reader. Yes, I've read all the books multiple times, but I most definitely am not smug about it. What I wouldn't give to not know what's coming this season......... to experience that for the first time, all over again would be truly magical. But I guess it's nice to see everything come to life.


Why is it a spoiler to say that Person X dies when everyone dies? Valar morghulis, my friends.
Someone could spoil who dies later this season, and that wouldn't be a spoiler? Trust me, it's a problem.

Some people find out main characters die and are DETERMINED to spread the same spoilers around, as if the series has been ruined, so the only way to get any further joy from it is to ruin it for other people in the same way. Some twisted logic there.

[Shaibana]

ive already heard enough spoilers from my boyfriends brother :l
luckely i forgot half of them.
i really hate him for it.

me and my bf were discussing game of thrones somewhere around season 2 when he walked in.
and he was like: '' how far is game of thrones? did he and he already die? and what about her? did she already die?''
he has read the books but he doesnt watch the show..
i wanted to slap him real bad

i am currently reading the books, but i will not go any further then the tv-show will go.
i have witnessedthat reading the books first will ruin the show, like it did with harry potter!

[Ayen]

I'm lucky. No one around here has read the books.

[Shauna]

Lots of people here have read the books. They're just not dicks about posting spoilers. :3

Doesn't matter if people were reading them in the 90s or not. The most recent book came out in 2011, and the show started in 2011. I know they're massive books, but I think people could read all five in three years if they were really that concerned.

Like I said, I don't go out of my way to spoil people, and I've even asked to have things hidden that aren't out-right spoilers, but could still spoil some people. But at the same time, I don't think people should expect to be coddled about spoilers. Especially when no one is directly spoiling you. Shaibana's example is someone being troutty. Carl's example of just reading YouTube comments is no one's fault but his own. People are allowed to discuss it in open forums. It's a 20-year-old series. And even if you just consider the interest since the show started, that's still three years. If in 2008 I had heard someone complaining because someone told them Snape killed Dumbledore, I would've said tough titties.

tl;dr I'm not in the habit of spoiling people, and I try to not be a dick and protect people when I can (e.g. having mods spoiler things, putting spoiler tags on my own posts, discussing things on Facebook IM instead of making statuses about it when I COULD), but I don't feel bad at all for people who are getting spoiled. I'm not saying someone has to read the books if they don't want to, just that the information is out there and you are in control of what you know.

I posted what I posted for other people, I have all the books, I have been reading them since 2003 and have signed copies of the books >.>

[Psychotic]

If it's a thread or video or whatever about the TV show then yes it's a dick move. If it's a thread or video about the books then go hog wild.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it will be episode two. The creators have confirmed that half of that episode is "one scene." I'm so excited I could puke.

[Ayen]

I'm calling it now It will be the highest rated segment in television history. Social media will explode in glee and somebody will complain about the fall of society because of the age of the person that died.

[Shorty]

I had never even heard of Game if Thrones until the show started. Some fans weren't even fucking born yet when the series began. The attitude of "well you should have read it if you didn't want it spoiled" is a little annoying to me because, well, it's not as if I had someone trying to cram these books down my throat all my life and I actively avoided them. I kindof love the fact that there are masses of fans who have not read the books and to gauge the reactions of people via social media or whatever who experience these crazy smurfing plot twists that this story has to offer.

I get where shaibana is coming from with not wanting to know what happens before it happens in the show. Some people just aren't interested in knowing the story unless it comes from the show. Have you seen the smurfing size of the books he writes? I don't blame them.

Once the show is good and well over, that would be a different case. But it's not, and I don't believe anyone should be faulted for not wanting anything spoiled when they haven't yet read the books no matter when they came out, because it isn't relevant. Additionally, Spider-Man rules apply when you already have read them.

Just try to handle it how you would it want to be handled if you were a new fan and relying on the show to give you your story.

Show of hands, is anybody else sick of Daenerys yet? Anybody at all?

[Freya]

I think the whole arya thing was showing redemption and revenge on the Stark's part.

Pod had a lot of lines.
Jon had a lot of lines.
I love the Hound and Arya dynamic.
Interesting to see how they play the Oberyn thing.
Glad to see Dontos actually in it besides that one little cameo last season.
Jamie and Brienne have a fun dynamic on screen too.

I, too, found myself bothered with Danaerys.

A bit disappointed! Felt like there wasn't much substance to this first episode at all. Maybe it's the calm before the storm. Felt like they tried to squeeze in too much and didn't really leave room to develop a good opening episode because of it.

[blackmage_nuke]

What exactly is the problem with Danaerys? Sure she hasnt done anything particulary special this episode but not every episode can be all fire and blood.

[Shiny]

I really enjoyed watching Game of Titties tonight. HBO Go is completely horrid so I had to leave New York just to go and watch this on a Verizon Fios cable box. It was totally worth it just for that ending.

[Miriel]

There's nothing wrong with Danaerys, she just has the most boring storyline. It doesn't help that the people she gets to interact with are mostly sycophants.

Arya is my favorite but damn she was disturbing in this episode. I wouldn't call smiling as you stab someone through the throat as being badass so much as it's fucking creepy as hell. I don't know what she's becoming.

Loving the stuff with Jamie. Interesting new dynamic he has with his family now.

I thought it was a pretty good start to the new season.



https://24.media.tumblr.com/d933ad6f005914544bab061e119778ea/tumblr_n3n6u9BfLR1s051cvo1_500.png

Unless I'm missing something, I'm pretty sure everyone who watched the episode noticed that. It was a pretty deliberate cut from the statue to Joffrey in the same stance as the statue.

[Dr Unne]

Arya watched her father get beheaded, then most of her friends get killed or tortured, then her brother get murdered, then her mother died. She hasn't had parents for a while and even when she did, they didn't have a lot of control over her. She's supposed to be what, 9 or 10, based on the books? Though her TV actress is clearly a bit older. She's becoming pretty twisted probably as a result of all the horrible crap she's been through at her age.

I thought this episode was pretty cool. I usually like the talking bits more than the action bits. The Hound is a cool character. He's one of the few people who says what he thinks and calls people on their bullcrap. He strikes me as someone who might've been a great person if his life had gone differently.

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

Aaaaaaah. Watched last night. I'm so excited it is back and love where it is going. At this point Arya, Jon, and Jaime are my favorites.

Hell yeah, Arya, sticking it to the man!

Also, can I get a daaayuuuuu, for the Red Viper, Prince of Dorne? Hotiie McHotterson Alert.

[Shaibana]

. She's supposed to be what, 9 or 10, based on the books? Though her TV actress is clearly a bit older. She's becoming pretty twisted probably as a result of all the horrible crap she's been through at her age.

yeah well, danny is 13 in the first book and Jon and Rob 15, sansa 11 and im guessing Arya 9

the ages are all a bit out of 'proportion' :P

i love the dynamic between the hound and Arya, for a small moment the hound actually looked human :P ''hey, get back here!''

i feel a bit sad for Jamie, its like everyone around him is abandoning him becaus he lost a hand :(

stop hating Danny! how can you hate her? she might have a 'weak' start on this season but im sure she is going to kick some ass!

[Ayen]

Aaaaaaah. Watched last night. I'm so excited it is back and love where it is going. At this point Arya, Jon, and Jaime are my favorites.

Mine too. I'm starting to like the new guy as well. And add The Hound to that list for the reasons Unne mentioned.

I think that one dragon is getting fed up with Dany. She went to stroke it and it was all BITCH I EAT PEOPLE!

I don't know how many people know, but that Arya kill scene was VERY familiar to something in a future book. I'm not really going to say which one, because I know people will start hissing. But I just had to point out that it was taken almost word for word. Seeing her do it this soon is a bit interesting though.

And there's so many things wrong with Daenerys. I hate her smurfing smug god complex. She (and many other people) think she's immune to fire. I hope to the Old Gods we find out how full of trout that crackpot theory is. Just sayin.

Props to the show for showing off bisexual Prince Oberyn. It is, however, awkward to learn that I've been mispronouncing his name for the last six years, though.

[Ayen]

It must be in the genes. I see her going the same way as her father if she keeps it up. I already had warning signs go off when I heard, "They have a choice; they can live in my new world or die in their old one." Yeah, 'cause that's a choice.

I think you are misremembering. For her book 4 and 5 take place entirely in Braavos and the murders she does there is nothing like the one just shown

I was worried that the inn scene wouldnt have been as dramatic since the Tickler died in Harrenhal but Im glad at the way it was handled with Polliver in his place

It takes place in the new sample chapter of The Winds of Winter. You can read it on George's website, and she kills someone in the same way, and says the same thing before killing him.
So, no, I am not misremembering.

[Kalevala]

The scene with Sandor and Arya in the bushes almost felt Monty Python-esque. Loved it.

Also, for book readers, did any of you catch the Ygritte foreshadowing? Deliberate close-up of her pruning her feather fletches. When Jon finds her body it is by identifying the fletches that he determines it wasn't one of his arrows that killed her. :cry:

[Lonely Paper Star]

I really liked this episode, even though I was a little miffed by the Arya exchange with Polliver being almost exactly the same as her exchange with Raff the Sweetling in the Mercy excerpt.

And House Martell, smurf yeah! :kakapo:

[Del Murder]

Good opening episode! Arya finds so much chemistry with these gruffy characters. First Tywin, now the Hound. I kind of want Arya's storyline to be about her and the Hound traveling the world on a quest of revenge. It was pretty creepy when she smiled while stabbing that guy though.

Also any scene in King's Landing is entertaining. The Wall stuff wasn't bad either.

[Ayen]

Jamie was hilarious in this episode. "If you love it so much how about you cut off your hand and take it yourself?"

Yep, same here. Like her father and brother she will probably become bat shit insane.

[Jinx]

OH SO IT WAS BAD WHEN I HATED DANY BUT NOW EVERYONE IS TIRED OF HER FOR smurf'S SAKE I HATE YOU ALL EOFF

Haha, Noctis, during the brothel scene I thought to myself, "Noctis is gonna be happy! He's porking ladies and dudes!"

During the end scene when I saw that Arya got her horse and Sandor got his chicken I said to Denmark, "A happy ending for everyone involved!" Lul.

Pretty good opening episode. The version of Rains of Castamere in the first scene, and the closing rendition of the theme song were both GORGEOUS. Love.

Is there supposed to be a bit of a time lapse between the end of season 3 and the beginning of season 4? The dragons have tripled in size and they're out of the desert.

[Noctis Caelum]

The title of the episode was aptly titled, "Two Swords", but so far we only saw Jaime's... currently unnamed sword. Why wasn't the other sword shown?

I really like Styr. To see him intimidate Tormund was impressive as smurf. I also loved the return of a few hated characters we haven't seen since S1/2. Alliser Thorne and Janos Slynt. I thought it was a typical and brilliant GoT episode. Not too much action besides the Hound kicking ass, but from a storytelling standpoint, it was magnificent. This isn't The Walking Dead where it has to be action packed to grip anybody. Their strength is in storytelling, so I personally hate it when people think an episode is lackluster because 590282090 people weren't put to the sword.

Hahahaha. I'm shocked anybody hates her to be honest. I thought I was the only one. I'm sick of her being promoted as one of the lead characters in this series. It's ONLY because the actress is beautiful, I swear. And you're right, I was certainly happy. I was concerned they wouldn't show it, and especially not this early. Bit bold when they're trying to give people a good first impression on who this Prince is. But they kinda swept it under the rug immediately by showing how vicious the Red Viper is. Well done, HBO.

Charles Dance/Tywin is severely underrated. I find him one of the most important influences in the series.

[Shorty]

The other sword was Arya's.

[Jinx]

They showed the second sword while it was being made.

[Ayen]

I'm sick of her being promoted as one of the lead characters in this series.

You mean she isn't? I figured with the dragons, the army, her goals and who her father is that she was up there.

Edit: Tywin needs more love, yes.

[Freya]

I still don't understand the Dany hate. In fact I look forward to her scenes.


I may be bias.

Dat Jorah.

[Shorty]

I am biased to Jorah since I heard him use his real voice in that spoilers vid freed posted.

[Ayen]

I don't hate her, other characters are just stealing the spotlight from her for me right now.

[Jinx]

After season 3's ending, I'm actually excited to see what comes next with Dany. Yeah, I SAID IT.

I'm just a little annoyed that I've gotten so much shit for not liking Dany (not just Emilia Clarke, but her character/storyline as well) and I got so much shit for it. And now everyone in this thread is all "Eh, she's boring now, I don't like her." It's dumb.

[theundeadhero]

Mine comes from reading A Dance with Dragons between the seasons which caused an ever-growing sense of dread every time a chapter with her name came up :p

[Lonely Paper Star]

I'm not the biggest Daenerys fan, but I don't hate her. I found some of her chapters really boring, though.


Anyway, here's a A Book-to-TV Chart for Events from S04E01: "Two Swords" (http://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/22fclt/spoilers_adwd_a_booktotv_chart_for_events_from/)

WARNING FOR SPOILERS UP THROUGH BOOK 5 (ADWD).

[theundeadhero]

I was wondering how they would handle that. Just merge the two books together and handle it chronologically across two seasons?

[Bunny]

I still don't understand the Dany hate. In fact I look forward to her scenes.

I understand the dislike/hatred of Dany around this time in the show/book but not from the very beginning. She has very few interesting parts and most of it is just a girl trying to play at being a queen, rather than character development on par with certain other characters. I still enjoy her character both in the show and book, but I can understand where people come from with the hatred.

The episode was overall very good for an opener and the last scene was pretty flawless. When they first announced it, I didn't really get how they were going to bring the show to a close in 2017 but with the mash-ups happening from ACOK, ASOS and AFFC, I guess it makes a certain amount of sense.

[Shiny]

I don't think Dany is boring, but I enjoyed her arc in S1 more so than the other seasons. I think this season has more potential for her to grow and mature.
