On a Tuesday night a few weeks ago, the rapper Wale showed up with his entourage at Premier Studios in New York's Times Square, entered the vocal booth, and over a string-heavy march-like instrumental track, started rapping about medieval-style mythical warfare:

I'm tellin' whoever messin' with me

I can bring you that Khaleesi heat

Use my King, knack for words, as an actual sword

I can decapitate a rapper…

He's living in a fantasy world.

So there’s potentially three more seasons there, between Feast and Dance

Important question: how hot is the new cast? Because we're going to be seeing a lot of them ... naked!

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 4 April 2014 19:49 (ten years ago) link

Not really a new direction, though?

Ned Zeppelin (Leee), Friday, 4 April 2014 19:58 (ten years ago) link

T-minus 24 hours or so until news reports cite this season premiere as the most illegally downloaded thing in internet history.

DYING FOR AN HBO GO PASSWORD :(((

ian you have until 10:05pm before you can watch via hbogo anyhow

Evan, Monday, 7 April 2014 00:57 (ten years ago) link

Don't episodes usually get 134ked by now?

Ned Zeppelin (Leee), Monday, 7 April 2014 01:44 (ten years ago) link

HBOGO servers are down!

Evan, Monday, 7 April 2014 02:24 (ten years ago) link

Between this and True Detective and 90% of the HBO Go users not being subscribers, I wonder how quickly HBO's working on rewriting their contracts to let them launch as an independent service for $15/month.

Finally not half-expecting a little drool out of Jon Snow's dumb face anymore. Interested in that development.

Evan, Monday, 7 April 2014 04:00 (ten years ago) link

That was a nice bit of ultraviolence at the end.

Ned Zeppelin (Leee), Monday, 7 April 2014 05:25 (ten years ago) link

man I would pay good money for some between-seasons Lone Hound and Pup like webisodes or something

ARYA. Yes. That's my girl.

Um I think I missed something or I am dim but who's sword did Scary Lannister melt down for Jaime?

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 7 April 2014 06:10 (ten years ago) link

Ned Stark's massive broadswoard Ice.

Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Monday, 7 April 2014 06:11 (ten years ago) link

They made a big deal of showing where the sword came from at the start of the episode. same one that ned beheaded dude with at start of the series and that he in turn got whacked with when his time came.

lol i thought that was just part of the "previously on" flashback

thanks!

er yeah that scene was not on hbogo i guess

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Monday, 7 April 2014 09:28 (ten years ago) link

I can never remember stuff like that on this show. Nevertheless, entirely entertaining

Maureen Dowd revealed she is one of you in Sunday's column, gooble gobble

That's because Kit Harrington finally figured out how to keep his mouth from hanging open all the time.

the mountain

lag∞n, Monday, 7 April 2014 16:54 (ten years ago) link

Mountain #3, right?

Ned Zeppelin (Leee), Monday, 7 April 2014 17:01 (ten years ago) link

cast dying off faster than the characters. new daario was a steep descent from the first guy, who was perfect.

Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 7 April 2014 17:03 (ten years ago) link

yeah mountain #3, daario #2, why does no one want to act on this show

lag∞n, Monday, 7 April 2014 17:09 (ten years ago) link

Why didn't they try to match the hairstyle? That would have helped.

Evan, Monday, 7 April 2014 17:25 (ten years ago) link

Actor who plays new Daario also plays the cute horndog producer guy from Nashville. Maybe he sings in this season

Didn't clock he was the junkie from Treme

Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Monday, 7 April 2014 17:31 (ten years ago) link

Felt the original Daario was very Romance Novel Cover-esque so I'm okay with that

Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Monday, 7 April 2014 17:31 (ten years ago) link

True but I was pulled out of the episode whenever he had a scene because they look so different.

Evan, Monday, 7 April 2014 17:37 (ten years ago) link

Probably won't be a problem next episode though.

Evan, Monday, 7 April 2014 17:37 (ten years ago) link

i could watch a whole episode of the hound saying 'cunt' tbh

bizarro gazzara, Monday, 7 April 2014 21:18 (ten years ago) link

We really need to make that Hound & Arya spinoff happen

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 7 April 2014 21:28 (ten years ago) link

Arya gonna Hound us?

Evan, Monday, 7 April 2014 21:39 (ten years ago) link

Hound Arya
