Not sure if posted before but:
The replay button is raped...
@henryeatscereal I think they did one of those for Breaking Bad as well. The Jon Snow training montage was also pretty amazing if you've not seen it.
It was announced that the show is going to spoil the ending of the books.
How do you all feel about this?
Im somewhere between accepting it as reality b/c its such a unique situation and being completely bummed out about how this effects the quality of the literature experience. :/
Cersei, Littlefinger and Sansa . I like em batshit, badass and soon to be badass

The first two episodes have leaked. *drip drip*
Jaime Lannister (crazy right?) since Spoiler: after his capture in season 3 and the redeeming of his character. Losing his hand really humbled him. Roller coaster ride and deep character progression.
Daenerys Targaryen is a definite favorite of mine too! She has the best story arc in my opinion. Then again, I like anything Targaryen. I miss Viserys and Khal Drogo.
Tyrion, Jon, and Daenarys are my favorites.
Favorite Dany part:
Spoiler: She's getting the slaves in season 3. The guy selling them was bad mouthing her in dothraki, assuming she doesn't understand him. She plays him for a fool, letting him make an ass of himself. And when she does decide to call him out on it, she makes it worth it.
The amount of prop placement to hide male frontal nudity in this episode is amazing.
Just finished Ep4.
Spoiler: They cant' be dead, right? They're not dead, right? THEY CAN'T BE DEAD.
The quality's good- the content was ripped from screeners.
edit: SCREAMING AT THE SCREEN.
My face during Janos Slynt's execution.
Can someone PM me a link for the episodes?? Nvm, found em .

The end of episode four: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
^^^ Ahhh, you're killin' me. I can't watch any of them until 7pm . How is it so far?
Episode three is the best of the bunch, followed closely by four.
HBO is free for Time Warner Cable owners this weekend, so I could watch the season 4 marathon on TV today if I wanted. Plus the premiere episode tonight. However I work and also am not caught up so it's going to waste. Sigh.
Could someone please PM a link to the first four? Pretty please ::bats eye lashes::
Guys, it's not that hard to find.
Living for Varys this season!
It is rather nice getting a few episodes at once. I'm one who prefers to binge, especially with this show, which has a lot of info, characters, and setup that goes down better when things are fresh in your mind. I will be watching it on tv and probably buying the blu, so I'll be a responsible pirate.
Ep. 4: I thought Spoiler: Barristan Selmy was some kind of godhand at fighting, even at his old age. I was looking forward to see him throw down, but he went out in a kind of un-epic manner, even though he took out a couple of the dudes. I guess age catches up with everyone.
