Watched that season 2 trailer several times. It looks amazing and I haven't even seen season 1 yet. I can't believe I'll be waiting another year for it to hit DVD.

do people really wait for tv shows to come out on dvd? and if so, why.
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 29 February 2012 05:19 (twelve years ago) link
I like a lot of HBO-type shows better in DVD (or Netflix/OnDemand/etc.) form - I want to be able to jump right into the next episode instead of waiting a week.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Wednesday, 29 February 2012 05:41 (twelve years ago) link
Me too. I've been waiting for the first season to come out on blu ray so I can watch it over and over in glorious hi def

Don't really have the time or inclination to mess with torrents or something similar.
― Moodles, Wednesday, 29 February 2012 05:53 (twelve years ago) link
Torrents are so easy!
― Inevitable stupid samba mix (chap), Wednesday, 29 February 2012 15:42 (twelve years ago) link
not easy enough for me and I can't watch them on my TV
― Moodles, Wednesday, 29 February 2012 16:04 (twelve years ago) link
hm well it seems up to personal preference then. i watch everything on my computer anyway. which i realize is abhorrent to people who have nice TVs. i will admit that watching movies/tv on a real tv is better (tho not like mindblowingly better). but waiting a year to watch new eps of GoTs is far worse imo.

I have a TV that I can connect to the Internet/stream my PC content to
fuck a torrent, tho

I can't stand watching stuff on the computer unless I have to --- we have our PS3 networked so Mr Veg can pull the torrents down onto his hard-drive and we can watch via the ps3/tv in the living room. LIVING IN THE FUTURE

I'm rewatching the first season, and I have to confess, I don't mind Ros at all.
― Nude Gingrich (Leee), Sunday, 4 March 2012 22:23 (twelve years ago) link
I can see why she's there, they needed to explain plots/backstory. I hadn't read the books yet when I watched the series and I didn't find her annoying.

i love the bit in that trailer where john snow says "better than three defeats"

Jon Snow looks more and more like Dave Gahan. This is not a compliment.

To me he comes across as a guy trying way to hard to be dashing and suave. Just don't like him.― Inevitable stupid samba mix (chap), Thursday, February 9, 2012 9:19 PM Bookmark Flag Post Permalinkive seen him in some other stuff and i think hes just like that all the time tbh― RudolfHitlerFtw (Hungry4Ass), Thursday, February 9, 2012 9:25 PM Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

So I was re-watching Doctor Who's "The Time of Angels" and Father Octavian's archly suave and dulcet brogue really reminded me of someone... and sure enough, he's played by Iain Glen!!
― Nude Gingrich (Leee), Wednesday, 7 March 2012 06:33 (twelve years ago) link
I realized that Iain Glen would be a perfect narrator for a nature documentary, which, come to think, is exactly what the Dothraki scenes are.
― Johnny Favre (Leee), Sunday, 11 March 2012 22:16 (twelve years ago) link
Iain Glen is from what is commonly referred to as 'classic' but in reality is saying lines wistfully and looking into the distance,

Just finished Book 2 - whew. Was afraid I'd procrastinate right past the new tv season start.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 20:14 (twelve years ago) link
Would this be a bad time to let you know some stuff from book 3 is expected to be in Season 2 of the tv show?
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 13 March 2012 20:21 (twelve years ago) link
They're going to need to spread the SoS material around a bit, so freaking much going on in that book.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 20:24 (twelve years ago) link
surely they have enough stuff from book 2 to squeeze in to 10 episodes without taking anything from 3?
― Number None, Tuesday, 13 March 2012 20:25 (twelve years ago) link
They don't want characters to be absent for long stretches like they are in the books, especially as events happen simultaneously.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 13 March 2012 20:26 (twelve years ago) link
trying to avoid spoilers obviously but i didn't think that started happening til much later
― Number None, Tuesday, 13 March 2012 20:30 (twelve years ago) link
It amplifies later but is happening a bit in book 2
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 13 March 2012 20:31 (twelve years ago) link
not a bad time at all since I purchased Book 3 as soon as I finished Book 2, I am underway. And more motivated, I might be able to blow it out before tv starts if I put my nose to the grindstone
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 20:37 (twelve years ago) link
Are you finding them a slog? I breezed through both 2 and 3 in about a week each, about to start 4.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 21:00 (twelve years ago) link
no I just fell off the wagon with reading in general lately, through sheer laziness. I love the books so far, the end of book 2 made me v teary
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 23:43 (twelve years ago) link
zomg u will be like o_O for 3!!
Btw, just finished episode 8 of my rewatch, and everything the Greatjon sez is so much lolz.
― Johnny Favre (Leee), Thursday, 15 March 2012 03:35 (twelve years ago) link
I can't afford the blu-rays (;_;), so I'm rewatching on HBOGO with the interactive features, and everytime there's a little video of Martin explaining some family history I can't help but lol.

I mean, incredibly well thought out backstories - even if I have issues with his take on chivalry - but you know...nerd expounding on his world like its real.
will add that I never really appreciated Arya and Ned's relationship, but it might be my favourite on this rewatch. "What were you doing in the dungeon?" "...chasing cats."
