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

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?
Care to find out?
Got my avatar changed but I'll have to wait until I get home from work to change my Sig.
Jorah represent!
I opted for Jamie Lannister instead.
a but and a stump
It was in the interest of protecting Shauna. For shame, man!
a wasted opertunity xD
It really is. I have to change everything now.
Don't worry shorty, Butts will find a way. Butts 4 lyfe.
I couldn't decide on who I wanted to I went ahead and just did a house instead lol.
EDIT: Obligatory
The princess is here!
I like the theme of humorous GoT sets this year? Should that be our 'theme'?
EDIT: I found this on Google. Good R'hllor, it is glorious.
I'm marathoning Season 3 this weekend in preparation.
I wanted to be Jamie but Mr Shauna stole him so I figured I'd change my set to support Daenerys.
Every time I see my own avatar and signature I giggle. Love that scene.
amagad, so beautifull, locky.
is anyone handy with photoshop? :D i want an upgraded signature xD
I'm handy with Photoshop. :cool:
Oh god, that Jorah signature. D:
I can't believe PW is happening so soon in the season.
Some random signatures I found:

I want to be Rattleshirt.
This thread was lacking one of the best characters on the show so I thought I'd change that.
I can't find any good quotes on the internet. Or any bad ones.
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
LESS THAN 72 HOURS
My hope for the first episode is at least 20 minutes of Maester Aemon asking people to write things down for him and fetch birds.
My body is ready.
*is brutally stabbed*
Ow.
Guess I'll join the festivities
Finally updated my sig to something a bit more worthy.

LOOK AT THE HOUND OH MY GOD
If you guys don't have time to marathon S3, here is Screen Junkies' Idiot's Guide to Game of Thrones (Season 3).
Game of Thrones: How should we punish people who post spoilers? - Game of Thrones News - Cult - Digital Spy
remind me never to mess with Gemma Whelan
That was great and oh my god Pod is adorable!
So the first three episodes were shipped out to critics. Reviews? Very positive. Yay almost here!
I have re-watched seasons 2 & 3 in preparation and I can't wait any longer!
Eeek. I'm very upset that we have to wait an extra day in the UK. :(
I think Sky Atlantic is showing it at 2 AM if you want to catch it at the same time! :D
Alright, I decided to make my own set then. :kakapo:
yaaaaaaay! :love:
I only did this because no one would bother to make me a set. :mad2:
We're all lazy and untalented jerks.
So help me god, Euron better be in season five.
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...ps531e3096.gif
I'd make one for Miss Highgarden but I cant think of any good moments
I just want to say that back then people didn't wipe their butts after taking a dump. They all walked around with poopy bottoms. I hope this mental image that I have painted sticks with you during the season premiere. Especially whenever King Joffrey is on screen.
You're welcome.
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.
so close... its almost sunday!
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".
Found this, uploaded yesterday ^^
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.
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.
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.
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
Just found this video, it's highly amusing:
Edit: swearing and probably NSFW
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.
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.
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:
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.
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!
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.
Oh, thank you very much :D
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.
Aw, I just realized I have to pass the Spoiler Nazi baton. We're all counting on you now, Shorty!
Don't worry, I'm ready with my spoiler beating stick. :smash:
Why is it a spoiler to say that Person X dies when everyone dies? Valar morghulis, my friends.
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
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.
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.
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!
I'm lucky. No one around here has read the books.
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.
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.
Have a countdown!
http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...rones+Season+4
Ha! :D
Kind of a spoiler-ishSomeone said that they are surprised the PW is so early in the season. What episode is it taking place? The Lion and the Rose (ep. 2) d'you think?
(SPOILER)Purple Wedding can't come soon enough IMO.
It's got to be the (SPOILER)Purple WeddingQuote:

I didn't know you read the books, ToriJ!
omg can't wait :excited:
Massive spoiler, do not read unless you've completed Book 3My real excitement is to see UnCat.
(SPOILER)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.
I'm calling it now (SPOILER)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.
I had never even heard of Game if Thrones until the show started. Some fans weren't even smurfing 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.
You've all changed to oldskool right? Change your skins today.
OMG I LOVE IT xD
I vote the banner stays :colbert:
HODOR!
Hodor hodor hodor hodor hodor, hodor hodor! :jess:
Hodor?
Do you hear the people chanting Hodor? Well, do you? No?
That's because we're an internet forum! Still, lots of people are saying Hodor.
Hodor, hodor!
Rickon better take the Iron Throne and Hodor better be his Hand.
Best end.
baner?? what baner?
Change to your skin to Old Skool and scroll to the top of the page, Shaibana. :3:
amagad, thats epic :3
i vote for more characters in the baner :P
Someone should make an actual GoT skin. That would be amazing.
No one is better than Hodor. Except for Rickon. :colbert: Osha can maybe come hang out too.
Hodor.
:excited:3 hours to go!!!! :excited:
*nerdgasm intensifies"
They are having a marathon on HBO right now.
My mom wants me to come over for dinner at her new house in two hours. My life is ruined.
Just caught Sam the slayer! What a dorky badass. I love him.
It will be 6pm, friend :colbert:
Red wedding is starting. Oh god. The feelings. D:
Does HBOgo even stream shows after it airs in the east coast or do i have to wait till the west coast gets it? :(
Wow, loved that fight at the end, Arya really is bringing out her badassness this season!
Game.of.Thrones.S04E01.HDTV.x264-KILLERS
That has already leaked. Waiting on the 720p release tho.
Yeeeee I can't wait for next weekkkkk~~ :kakapo:
Show of hands, is anybody else sick of Daenerys yet? Anybody at all?
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.
They switched Daarios on us :(
Wtf with the gay oberon bit
Arya's scene was so badass.
The whole episode left me wanting more. It felt way too short for an one hour show.
Brilliant.
smurfing brilliant. (NSFW)

Well, now I can never watch the original opening again.
Daenerys is going to annoy the piss out of me all season.Quote:
Show of hands, is anybody else sick of Daenerys yet? Anybody at all?
Arya is the most awesome person in the series.
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.
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.
I laughed out loud at that part xD
Even through HBOgo's crappiness, i watched it!
smurfing awesome fight!!! Oberyn and the lannister guards was great too. I can't wait for next week.
: DDD
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.
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 smurfing 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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 (SPOILER)BITCH I EAT PEOPLE!

ooh sis, will we ever be reunited again?
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.
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.
Book spoilerI 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 shownQuote:

Book comment but everyone involved is already dead so not really a spoilerI 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
Winds of Winter spoilerIt 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.
Book Spoiler Tag for safetySeriously? The show makers are spoiling things for a book that hasn't even been published yet! Not cool...
(SPOILER)Must be their way of getting back at all the book readers who's been spoiling the show for people on Facebook.
all your spoilers are not actually spoilers :l
It is rather evil of them. But honestly rather cool. The chapter in question was... honestly, rather disturbing.
Spoiler, maybe?It confirms that she lives until the newest book. I'd consider that a spoiler. D:
omg, stop shaking that saucage.. its hypnotising
I understand that if any more words come pouring out your :bou::bou::bou::bou: mouth, I'm going to have to eat every smurfing chicken in this room.
The scene with Sandor and Arya in the bushes almost felt Monty Python-esque. Loved it.
Also, for book readers, (SPOILER)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:
I really liked this episode, even though (SPOILER)I was a little miffed by the Arya exchange with Polliver being winds of winter troutalmost exactly the same as her exchange with Raff the Sweetling in the Mercy excerpt.
And House Martell, smurf yeah! :kakapo:
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.
Jamie was hilarious in this episode. "If you love it so much how about you cut off your hand and take it yourself?"
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.
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.
The other sword was Arya's.
They showed the second sword while it was being made.
I still don't understand the Dany hate. In fact I look forward to her scenes.
I may be bias.
Dat Jorah.
I am biased to Jorah since I heard him use his real voice in that spoilers vid freed posted.
I don't hate her, other characters are just stealing the spotlight from her for me right now.
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 trout for not liking Dany (not just Emilia Clarke, but her character/storyline as well) and I got so much trout for it. And now everyone in this thread is all "Eh, she's boring now, I don't like her." It's dumb.
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
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"
WARNING FOR SPOILERS UP THROUGH BOOK 5 (ADWD).
I was wondering how they would handle that. Just merge the two books together and handle it chronologically across two seasons?
I understand the dislike/hatred of Dany around this time in the show/book but not from the very beginning. (SPOILER)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.
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.
