I forget, when are these usually up on the HBO Amazon Prime channel? Isn't usually close to air time on the East Coast?

DrunkPanda posted:I feel like they overdid it with the awkward interactions in this episode. Like, this show is called Game of Thrones, not Awkward Interactions: The Awkwardening. As an owner of cats that was the realest poo poo in this episode.

Yeah we're called diabetics lol Also my step dad died of pancreatic cancer, but he was already stage 4 by the time he was diagnosed and it killed him in less than four months. That poo poo is nasty as all hell and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Well except maybe Alex Azar.

Karmine posted:This is a weird thing to freak out about.  two sentences about it on the internet, freaking out, got it. Goons are especially bad at faces, it comes up a lot in TV and movie threads. Emilia Clarke and Kelly Clarkson look nothing alike other than both having recognizably human faces.

Tenebrais posted:I thought one of the sand snakes was. Maybe I'm mixing them up. Certainly they seemed to be better at that than martial arts. The sand snakes sucked but this is pretty lovely. They were all legit actors before being cast in GoT. One of them had nice boobs and showed them in an episode because Thrones gonna Thrones. That's it.

Roy Gato III posted:I know D&D have been exposed as frauds but they still do better than what 95% of people would come up with. I always try to take goon criticism with a bucket of salt, because when they inevitably share what they think makes high quality TV the result is typically laughable. Not that the criticisms themselves are necessarily bad or unwarranted, just provides me with a little perspective.

Zaphod42 posted:That's a little hokey though. It makes sense for Brienne because she slowly earned Jaime's respect. But he started by calling her names non-stop. HIS attitude of her changed, but it would take way way more for all of society to see her that way. Well when most of society is dead it probably won't matter what they think. e: Picture this, you're one of the last surviving people of King's Landing, you nearly got starved out in the Winter, and you're lucky to be alive. Ser Brienne of Tarth strolls by with her armor and sword, overseeing food distribution. You going to walk up to her and tell her she can't be a knight?

By far the weirdest thing about the Arya sex scene is how little Maisie Williams's face has changed compared to the other child actors on the show. We rewatched s1e1 the other day and other than being a little bit taller she didn't look all that different. A lot of that is costuming and makeup and whatnot, but it still made the scene kind of weird for me to watch. Btw I think it's okay to have different opinions about this and it doesn't make y'all loving weirdos or pedophile creeps or whatever, since this thread seems really tense this morning for whatever reason. Except for those of you who are really weird about it. You know who you are.

Gunthen posted:There a massive difference between when baby Sam is born in the books, and when he is in the show. Its a continuity error, because they changed the pacing of the story from the books, and have moved past them significantly. Has baby Sam even been born in the books or is that from one of those WoW released chapters? God it's been so long since I've read the books that I keep mixing up book/show poo poo in my mind constantly.

As Nero Danced posted:Yeah, the show has never done a good job of conveying the passage of time. The first couple episodes took place over a few months due to travelling but watching it you'd think it was a week or two at most. It's the kind of thing that normally doesn't impact the show much till people start zipping around the country side in a matter of hours or age questions become a focal point. Man, imagine how different the first couple seasons might have turned out if Westeros had developed teleportation technology earlier.

Well if the remaining books ever do come out it will be interesting to see how some of the dangling plots that weren't ever brought to the get resolved and how different it might look. I mean, it's about as likely as my pancreas producing insulin but what the hell, a guy can dream can't he?

Gunthen posted:The truly sad thing, is that the ending to the show. Is likely the only ending we will get. Unless GRRM lives to be 120, no way he finishes the books. Yeah I know. I mean the books have their flaws which have been pointed out a thousand times over, but I still got sucked in enough and care about the book characters enough to want some resolution and the tv ending is going to be like someone putting diet Shasta in a Coke bottle and insisting it's the real thing.

Phenotype posted:Ahahaha I forgot about that added wrinkle. In the books Mance Rayder is an actual character, and has a newborn son. After Stannis kills Mance, everyone just knows it's only a matter of time before Melisandre wants to burn his heir, so Jon Snow forces Gilly to trade her own incest baby for Mance's son in a secret swap. Her son stays at the Wall and Mance's baby is the one that goes to Oldtown with Gilly and Sam. I remember thinking "there's no way the pink letter is real and Ramsey killed Stannis" and then the show came along and now if nothing else I'd really like to know exactly what the gently caress went down at Winterfell and what the hell Mance Rayder ended up doing.

Phenotype posted:That's from some TV show, isn't it? I could swear I remember a scene from Family Guy or something where they lampshade it like "All right, you're 18, you're not a precocious girl and a promising student anymore, now you're a sex object. Lemme see dem tits." There were gross radio morning zoo types constantly doing age 18 countdowns for Mary Kate and Ashley Olson, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Logan, iirc. It's not some new idea or anything.

Private Speech posted:So uhh. Is there a (legal) way to stream season 8 in the UK without a physical TV subscription? I've googled around but it seems the only option would be a Sky package for the low low price of £396 for 18 months (not including TV licensing costs, and the fact that I don't have a TV or any desire to buy one). Is HBO NOW not available in the UK??? That seems completely insane to me.

I think in the US there's the option to get HBO as an add on channel in various streaming service packages as well as just getting HBO NOW directly from HBO.

bobjr posted:Dark Tower was also rushed by King after he almost died after being hit from a car. I’m sure it would be a much different back half otherwise I love King, probably one of my all time favorite authors, but I get an incredible kick of the fact that he had a mortality scare, decided to rush out a half-assed mediocre end to the fantasy epic he'd been working on for ages so that his fans wouldn't be "disappointed" and then went on to live a long rear end time and continue churning out some of his most mediocre and unsatisfying work. I still think On Writing is probably his best book, even if his writing advice is bad advice for a lot of writers.

Super Deuce posted:Never said anything about caring whether white men disappear or not. I do care if anyone pushes out other voices simply because of their skin color and genitalia. It’s weird how this is okay. She was wrong to say what she said. If she left it as “I wish there were more critiques from different backgrounds” not “white men can’t talk about this”. They aren’t the same thing. She didn't say they couldn't you idiot she said that she doesn't want to hear their opinions because she rightfully doesn't give a gently caress about what they have to say.

How do we go from how amazing season 1 was to this garbage? Honestly when HBO wanted three more seasons and a movie or whatever and D and D went "lol nah" HBO should have just poo poo canned them and hired some new show runners who were willing to take the time to get the back half of the show right.
