GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

HBOnow is a good idea, although the 1 month Apple only is kinda lame ;p

Look at the divide here. It's honestly sort of interesting. Book readers are panning it, non book readers seem to actually be entertained.

The final person GRRM kills? His fanbois!

Oh, maybe it is that.

The swiss public television is airing the episodes on monday night with subtitles.My assumtions: 1) it's nigh impossible to do professional subtitling of a TV episode in 16 hours 2) a number of channels across the world must have a similar deal 3) That must be a lot of people with access to episodes in advance. 4) 4 episodes sounds about right for the quantity a translation/subtitling studio might have in advance.

No, it is definitely not a leak from the subtitling studios. While doing professional subtitling of a TV episode can be done in 1 hour or even less ( lets say 10 translators working on 5 minutes episode segments), the subtitling studios usually get a "working copy", that is a low res video file with a watermark that covers the entire screen. We get "working copy" video files like that even for old tv episodes of shows that no-one watches anymore, for fucks sake, and that are actually for dubbing.

Anyway, i digress, the source of leak was one of the recipients that received the shows for "advanced reviews" - the watermark from the pirated files is specific for that.

It kept me interested from start to finish and I'm about to say fuck it and watch episode 2 after work. mission accomplished.jpg

I liked it. Plenty of "like a boss" to go around. For once, Jon Snow is actually interesting.

I'll admit, I was a little annoyed they cast a new actor for gray worm, until I realized they just were showing the last day of some unsullied I don't give a shit about.

This

This board is broken. It won't let me + you for a string of nerd puns that would embarras the most slovenly of neckbeards.

Yeah I thought that was a new Gray Worm and also a new translator chick

They cut the best line out of that execution scene tho... "Can I get his boots?"

Eh most people seem to agree its still good, everyone should have known that the next couple season were going to go down in quality like the books, people are complaining also when they dont even know what the end game is, for all we know they could be saving us from a shit ton of worthless filler.

Only thing book readers are complaining about really is the one death which we arent even sure of, how about book readers be glad we get more Bron instead of other boring shit

Not sure if walk of shame will be ep 9 or not.

Spoiler

it seems they really sped up cersei's mistakes and its just going to snowball from here. Like how quick did the sparrows go ham on KL? I can see her getting imprisoned by ep 6 at this rate.

There is also the rumor that brienne fights undead mountain this season and if that's her trial by combat then shit is moving along rather quick.

I would guess that atleast one of the major battles happens this season, and it looks like it's probably mereen. Not even so much against yunkai which has been downplayed considerably but the insurrection from the sons of the harpy, which is what is shown in the trailers being the battle that happens at the fighting pits.

The pacing for that feels rushed if you binged through the 4 episodes in one sitting like I did. I knew it as soon as the faith militants 'branding' scene that a good weeklong pause would make the transition more gradual since it's only actually three or four scenes from when we were introduced to the high sparrow in a previous episode.
