Game of Thrones

[L.M.]

Not sure if I should watch all 4 now or nah haha.

I couldn't resist and now I have to wait a MONTH for ep05!

It's probably best to enjoy them week to week or just wait until the season's over to binge.

Notices are coming.

According to reports, HBO is tracking down the people who watched those leaked "Game of Thrones" episodes. Though no serious legal action is being taken at the moment, the company is said to have sent "thousands of warnings" to those with Internet connections that shared the shows.

Through anti-piracy partner IP-Echelon, HBO is reportedly telling providers to "contact the subscriber" and "take appropriate action." The company tells HuffPost the anti-piracy efforts it's implementing are "standard operating procedure."

Reddit users have seemingly posted examples of what they received:

According to various sources, no strict legal action is being taken because HBO doesn't have any violator names, but pirates should be wary. It's apparent HBO is about to go all Khaleesi:

It's legal in Canada. And... I'm smarter than the average bear.

I'd be inclined to think the only way the first 4 could be leaked is by a Game of Thrones insider.

Heck it was probably one of the young actors. How else could this possibly happen? I bet its their own fault. They've probably lost a LOT of money over this. Especially with the exclusive medium outlet. It's probably one of their own that failed them. I roll my eyes at HBO for wagging their finger. Is this supposed to scare people?

I say get your own house in order before you start a wild goose chase

I'm holding off for now on watching 3 and 4 and enjoying them one at a time. Last night was another great episode

I'm really curious to see how the show portrays Arya in the coming episodes, I think it has a lot of potential. Already plenty of differences between the book and show this season, and I think that'll continue. Honestly, I'm fine with all the changes the show has made from season 1 through now.

Then it goes into a thread about HBO Canada/Bell Media/Bell Canada/Chorus Entertainment etc. and the legalities.
Fairly interesting thread.

Jake, I knew you were the Jakiest but I didn't know that you were Canadian.
And yes, I'd say that you were even smarter than Yogi !

I watched all of them, and now wish I hadn't. Not because I fear legal repercussions, just because I have nothing to watch on Sunday nights for the next few weeks

Also, because other things.

[dizzolve]

Unless you're the type to talk with friends about each episode, I wouldn't feel bad about watching all you can. You can just watch them again! There's always little snippets and themes you catch the 2nd time through anyway.

You have to wait for episode 5 either way.

Whatever suits you though.

[Jaws]

I was a bit disappointed with episode 1 but enjoyed the 2nd.

How bout the Red Woman (the other red meat)

"You know nothing, John Snow"

“It is always cold on the Wall.”
“You think so?”
“I know so, my lady.”
“Then you know nothing, Jon Snow.”

For what it is worn the Triple A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays the Drurham Bulls will be wearing Game of Thrones Jerseys tomorrow.

Spoilers warning

I wanted to briefly talk about Sansa Stark. Think about what she's already been through. After her adventures with Joffrey and watching he and his Lannisters kill her father, and brother and mother... being forced to wed the Imp ...... and now she has to marry probably the only person in Game of Thrones who could be considered even more 'sick in the head' for violence ........ Ramsey Bolton. What a life. Hopefully she does get her revenge one day. If and when that day comes it'll be a LONG time coming.

You just have to wonder, can Ramsy behave himself with a wife of his own? His father can barely control him. Maybe she becomes Theon's last chance at being a normal human. Surely Ramsy would know that Sansa and Theon grew up together... should be interesting to watch how that evolves.

Queen Mother Cercei .... she knows her power is fizzling out. Despite that fact, she still is affecting a lot of controversy with this new religious fundamentalist movement. Whenever her days of gold and privilege are over, us viewers should eat it up. I personally would like to see more of an immediate transition than a slow hourglass exchange of sands.

Jaimie is one of those characters that you hate, you like, you respect, you disrespect......... I think this season is aiming him down the hate/disrespect path. But it's not like he's never shocked us. We'll see.

I have a hard time believing Brienne justs happens into Sansa in some middle of no where Inn pub. Of all the unlikely relationships to blossom, imagine Brienne and her squire end up falling for each other ROFL. Opposites attract.

Since Selby died, that leaves an opening for Jorah Mormont who coincidentally is on his way back to make amends with Mother of Dragons. Everyone loves Jorah. Hopefully, both he and Tyrion end up on queen's counsel ...... along with the Spider. All 3 could make valuable contributions. It's been hinted at - and it's coming together. We'll just have to wait and see if it actually happens.

Arya couldn't throw away her little sword. It's part of the rules to become part of the house of black and white there in Bravvos - since she didn't follow the rules I wonder if she fails by default. Pretty creepy stuff going on in there.

And John Snow. How do you turn down a proposition like he heard from the king - to rise up as heir to the north and no longer a bastard son... Despite John Snows best efforts to act as a man of Honor it feels like his destiny will be one of favor.
