I dig it. I'm happy that Peter Dinklage has gotten a role that is able to show his acting chops.

[ajbns87]

yeah his role as Tyrion is a real scene stealer, damn that Catelyn Stark for kidnapping him

Just watched episode 6 and then 7 on HBO Go. sh*t's getting good.

I was surprised and saddened to see King Robert die. I was looking forward to more from Addy.

i'm waiting for episode 6 tonight... its an awesome show, well acted. I dont normally dig med-evil fantasy sh*t, but this is great.

Watched the first episode yesterday. As someone who hates fantasy and hasn't managed to sit through LotR yet, I've got to admit that this was pretty damn good. I expected nothing less from HBO. I guess they'll be going light with the magic until they go over the giant ice wall, which I appreciate. The show looks absolutely gorgeous as well, and if you're not watching this in HD you're doing yourself a giant disservice.

I'll probably blow through the rest over the summer. Waiting a week sucks.

I've heard lots of good things about this show, unfortunately I don't have HBO. I could look for them online, but I really can't be bothered. I'll check it out eventually.

How did you see that? That hasn't happened yet.... I thought the Viserys scene was done incredibly well. Although that gold melted awfully fast!

I know Joff looks a lot like a weasel, but he was kinda cute in the scene with him ...lying... to Sansa.

I watched it too. It's the best episode so far. I definitely didn't see all of that coming in one episode.

they broadcasted episode 7 early in the states, but through the HBO online service, like BBCi player but subscription....

I could watch it online now, but then I'd face two weeks with out a new episode, hope that guy who looks like prince charming from shrek gets his ass whooped.

It's on HBOgo. There is a mobile app, and a website. Not sure if it's available up north. It's actually pretty damn cool. You can watch every episode of pretty much every HBO show of the past decade. Including the Sopranos, Band of Brothers, and True Blood. On top of this they have movies and those late night movies you don't want your mother to see.

As for missing two weeks. I watched episode 7 on my phone, and still wish to watch it on a big HD TV.

Bahaha.

[ajbns87]

think im going to do the same, is it an easy read? I m not much of a reader....

[jelly]

No idea, I can't judge things like that. All I know is that I went through them pretty quickly, but that's because I wanted to know what happened next..

Oh, and a lot of people die. A lot.

[JayC]

It's good that the fat guy from the Tesco adverts ditched that annoying whore of a wife, travelled through time, and became King.

This show is awesome though and I'm gutted I read that spoiler tag.

I don't know. He looks more like a younger, more British Dennis Leary.

Anyway, this show's pretty great, although I don't think I can really like any of the characters save for Stark himself, or John Snow (who we haven't seen much of recently). Maybe even Baelish with this snarky ass. I'm just glad that that entitled little sh*t of a Targaryan got what he deserved in the best way possible.
