Is this the first time lots of episodes of a tv show have been leaked?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 12 April 2015 16:04 (nine years ago) link
One of the wire seasons. 4 maybe?
― Mordy, Sunday, 12 April 2015 16:09 (nine years ago) link
Wonder if this is just going to keep happening more.

basically if they send out review copies its always a risk

i maintain that they shd just release entire runs of a show on the same day its better in a lot of ways and in fact there shd be infinite episodes of any show

OMG THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER/WORSE/DIFF THAN THE BOOKS

Review copies? Why is there review copies? I thought tv critics watched everything with the rest of us, apart from special premieres of a first episode that only a relative few will see along with the big fans.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 12 April 2015 17:27 (nine years ago) link
early reviews hype the show. not that this one really needs hype i guess but why not
― head clowning instructor (art), Sunday, 12 April 2015 17:49 (nine years ago) link
I was wondering why there were suddenly a number of episodes available.Thought it might be like a Netflix multiple episodes released at the same time thing like Orange is the New Black seems to do & I think Daredevil just did. Or is that another case of this?
― Stevolende, Sunday, 12 April 2015 19:00 (nine years ago) link
This is quite a spoiler sensitive thing so I don't see what good giving critics more episodes is going to do, especially if it increases the risk of leaking.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 12 April 2015 19:15 (nine years ago) link
It just takes the pressure off of the first episode representing the entire season. Sopranos always screened the first four episodes for critics, to give a sense of the overall tone/plot/etc for the new season.

That makes sense I suppose but at this point I don't think this show needs it.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 12 April 2015 19:33 (nine years ago) link
it's just HBO standard policy

Oh Jesus do I watch all four over the next few days then have to wait five weeks till the next one or do I try and eke them out, this is the hardest decision anyone has ever had to make.

i think a previous season of GoT also leaked a few early episodes midseason?i'm perfectly happy waiting tbh. there's too much good tv out there already; i'm behind on shows i love anyway.

same. also just finished marathoning the leaked episodes. amazing.

I'm happy to wait week by week, but let's see if there's a cliffhanger or something and I might change my mind.
As for different threads, I think they should fully combine in season six, no? Maybe give this one more year of separation? I haven't read the books though so if those in the know think it's so far beyond it doesn't matter we should consider.
― Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Monday, 13 April 2015 03:29 (nine years ago) link
WRT spoilers can we stick to the broadcast schedule on these?
Feel like chaining the first four would be the worst approach to take because you're then just waiting a month for more episodes. On the other hand, chaining the first four...
― Matt DC, Monday, 13 April 2015 11:06 (nine years ago) link
I watched one last night - then I watched another and it was 2am, later than I'd ever stay up if I am not out. The choice becomes pretty easy when you've watched one episode and enjoyed it.
The show is just coasting now, in a good way.
― Junior Dictionary (LocalGarda), Monday, 13 April 2015 11:11 (nine years ago) link
although at times I've started to feel visually reminded of The New Adventures Of Hercules, not solely due to Dario though he is definitely a big culprit.
Also can I just say again, that beardy wildling guy reminds me of Pirate Steve from Dodgeball.
― Junior Dictionary (LocalGarda), Monday, 13 April 2015 11:12 (nine years ago) link
so this thread is just going to be people saying that they downloaded the leaked episodes and then "5 weeks pass"
― Is It Any Wonder I'm Not the (President Keyes), Monday, 13 April 2015 15:17 (nine years ago) link
Yeah where's the discussion.
Does this show have a bigger budget now or was it all wasted on the dragon scene and the statue sliding down the pyramid scene?
― Evan, Monday, 13 April 2015 15:20 (nine years ago) link
the budget afaik has increased steadily every year. in the seasons where theyve had big battles or other major sequences (blackwater, red wedding, purple wedding, wildling battle), theyve also shorted other episode budgets - mostly by engineering said episodes to not need as many effects/locations/etc. - to pour extra into battle episodes.
― slothroprhymes, Monday, 13 April 2015 15:31 (nine years ago) link
like the wildling battle episode cost like 12 million on its own according to the director neil marshall in an interview, iirc
― slothroprhymes, Monday, 13 April 2015 15:32 (nine years ago) link
That still sounds fairly cheap actually, a movie looking as good as that episode would only be twice as long, and cost maybe ten times as much.

the little girl playing young cersei did a great job - you could clock who she was supposed to be almost immediately from the tone in her voice

Felt pretty bummed about losing Ciaran Hinds tbh.

stannis is such a cunt, i'd burn before kneeling to that prannet too
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 13 April 2015 16:01 (nine years ago) link
One of the most concise ways I've ever seen of character establishment was that comment, "we all know what Stannis is." from the first season, before we had ever seen him or really know anything about him.
― Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Monday, 13 April 2015 16:12 (nine years ago) link
i kind of dig stannis and his moral absolutism less psyched abt his crazy religious fanaticism tho it is understandable in the context. was hoping for some assassin school arya (assuming that's where she's headed at least) but perhaps in subsequent eps.
also totally unsure where the plot is headed right now, feels like this season could go in any direction and im not sure if that's a good thing yet
― head clowning instructor (art), Monday, 13 April 2015 16:26 (nine years ago) link
feel like i have a p good sense of the plot through like ep 4 after that not sure

Interesting how they've made Sansa look more like her mother (or Littlefinger has).
Is this the first time they've ever used flashbacks? I didn't think they'd ever do that because there's been so much talk of past events that other makers would have used flashbacks for.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 14 April 2015 00:58 (nine years ago) link
Yes, Ciaran Hinds was good in the episode.
Really puzzled as to how exactly anyone could control dragons like that unless you had wargs working in shifts on them.
