HBO's adaptation of Game of Thrones - Thread 2. There are a lot of nerds.

This season is the rest of the series.

I read it was two shorter seasons. 13 hours split over two seasons.

That is correct.

I am nostalgic for the enthusiasm I felt for this show in the early seasons. knowing it's going to end, I'm like, okay, what are we going to replace this with to pass the time?

GRRM smiles and reminds you of the four spinoff series. You will never leave the Westeros TV Cinematic Universe. Give in to it.

TV Cinematic Universe

I feel like this phrase contains multitudes

We live in a world where the phrase 'Sony Marvel Universe' is used without irony.

I believe that is the 'Spider-verse'.

I'm talking about the big screen universe of everything on the small screen

like mister ed winding up on the OG battlestar galactica with everybody from coronation street, except everything is on a bigger budget and is 2.5 hours long
the big bad of the TVCU is probably dark willow from buffy

A noble dream!

Would love a Coronation street/GOT mashup.

I went on a float trip last weekend and my friend Dan revealed the entire ending of game of thrones. So it's pretty much ruined for me now. Just watching now to see how they capture it, I guess

It involves flames. And "snow"

If you didn't figure out the likely conclusion after season 1 then I don't what to tell you - shit is based on a "song of ice and fire" for crying out loud

Gee there's this existential threat to the whole human race coming down and it's all about cold and ice and you can only beat it with fire - and waaayyy over here there's dragons who breathe - oh man I got it! I got it dudes! They're all going to catch rock leprosy and die.

Close. They will fight the ice with rock hyraxes.

Brianny of Trath took down that marmot thing hardcore

And we're back. *blood doom death etc*

Forgot boobs

no boobs in this one

Oh classy now i guess

Was sort f hoping sheeran would be stabbed
Otherwise, best episode in a mighty long time.

That was some good television

I suspect that I've never wanted to be anybody more than you-know-who in that cold open

puking guy #12? i've been that guy, it was awful

Wait Ed Sheeran is in this? Bloody hell.

The cold open was so good.

Also: "experience" from the Hound.

Was so hoping she was going to just cut sheerans head off

which ep were the dead father daughter from again that the hound buried

found it http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Breaker_of_Chains

another season premiere recap episode where nothing happens.

they were definitely getting ready to do things, though. definitely setting the table for things to happen

putting the pieces back on the table, like they literally did in the last scene

My brain is etched with Dany and Tyrion doing the intro to Computer Blue

"No need to seize the last word, Lord Baelish. I'll assume it was something clever."

Who do you think you're fooling with that fucking topknot

good ep but I cringed hard at "we never did talk about Tommen" or w/ever, there must have been a thousand more graceful ways to introduce that subject

i kind of feel like pissing off Littlefinger is a plan that could backfire.

I like that the White Walkers now have at least three giants. that should make things fun.

Pilous Asbæk is so bad at this.

i have a hopeful theory that arya killing house frey was a symbolic gesture of the end of OTT rapesploitation and stupidly gratuitous female nudity on GoT, a tacit acknowledgement that the audience has grown to the point where those are bad directions to take the most popular show on television. whole lotta thick leather doublets on all the female leads in the first ep!
