HBO adaptation of Game of Thrones - will this be just for nerds? (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

the black death music gets p gnarly, def a good fit for all the northern stuff

I always end up tapping out the drum beat without even realizing ...it's hypnotising

xpost yeah. I haven't been as into anything else that guy's done but if I ever get to helm a doorstop fantasy tv series I'm hiring him and telling him to gimme that black death feeling

time for
time for a game
a game-of-thrones (game of thrones time, game of thrones time)

or just
nothing
until the very last
GAME... OF... THRONES

Have legit been having this on in the background on Sunday mornings:

I hope they end the whole show with a montage set to that

It's a great tune/hook but Djawadi does absolutely NOTHING with it, it's just so dead as music.

Given that most of the show is comprised of people standing around talking in front of an impressive backdrop then it's kind of apt.

my wife and I now sing other tv themes this way sometimes

Current GoT theme related fantasy is Miley singing 'FU' over it

this was posted forever ago but it's so old it's new i guess

I've been rewatching S1 very slowly as there was so much I didn't notice or appreciate the first time. Dany's brother was such a tool, worst individual in the whole thing.

i always sing the theme with the words game of thrones game of thrones game of thrones over and over like that one youtube

always do this but with 'pe-ter din-klage'. keepin' it simple with 4 syllables. sometimes mix it up with a bit of 'pe-ter din-klage, will he sur-vive, will he sur-vive, or-will-he-die'

amazing life i lead

Carice looks like a non-ginger Karen Gillan in that YT thumbnail.

i always sing the "hodor" version of the theme song.

presumably there was no GOT in the US this week as well?

It's because of the US that there was no GOT this week anywhere.

No. HBO took the week off because of Memorial Day/premiere their high profile TV Movie from that Glee guy

ok just checking

recognized everyone but the two women next to brienne

the one on the left is Lena Headey

you can tell because she's leaning her head

Think that's Ellaria Sand in the middle.

Is that guy's junk the only thing keeping his pants up?

I've had a suspicion based on some interviews and their on-screen chemistry that Cersei and Oberyn were irl doing it and I'm gonna go ahead and take that pic as confirmation

Is the kneeling guy Loras?

holy shit

Why am I so shocked but i am totally. I kind of knew there had to be something for all the build up but I thought it would end with Oberyn throwing a spear into Tywin or something.

that was next level grisly. i'm already having traumatic flashbacks

just now moving past that to remember the brilliance of Arya's laughing.

this is just some george rr martin bullshit at this point is how i feel about things

thought goth-sansa was lol

What does that mean?

Xpost mordy I mean

anti-reader sadist

just viciously anti-climatic + nihilistic

climactic*

that was anti-climatic?

Yeah to me, the whole Oberyn part was pretty intense. Maybe more moving than the red wedding

I don't think it was nihilistic in that it keeps with the show's general premise that revenge is stupid.

It wasn't just the brutality of the kill but Indira Varma's wail at the horror that made me feel the loss of a relatively minor (or at least, new) character. I guess I just didn't see the show/books writing itself into that much of a fucking corner.

happy for ramsay :)

... that's why I always bet on the Mountain.

/pukes

Stark girls were great this episode; Sansa telling LF why she lied for him, and as stated, Arya busting a gut.

PS I'm still barfing that fight.

Still love the show but. Getting tired of the whole 'killing good ppl just cause they're good' thing. Is it like that in the books or are they purposefully doing it to get ratings?
