Game of Thrones Season 4 thread (starts Sunday, April 13 2014)

He did look pretty guilty.

 

As God is my witness, I did not know that!

 

You're probably right!

 

This is one of the changes from the book that didn't work IMO, and doesn't make sense as you say.

 

For the most part I'm happy with the changes they make in the series. Many of them are good, streamline the story and cut out some unnecessary characters. But this change still makes no sense to me, its a big misstep IMO.

As to why, I think they did it because the show's version is more feel-good.

 

So, another thing Pod has in common with a horse: an enormous ... appetite.

I wish they would have kept that plot line going. It just disappeared at the end of season 3. The show needs some humor now and then.

 

The internet is funny.

 

I know there are a few fans of Arya Stark here, Maisie Williams who plays her is from just down the road from me in Somerset and our local BBC news programme just did a report on her return to the village she grew up in, they've kindly put a much longer version on their Facebook page:

It's nice to hear that poor ol' Arya finally made it home! That girl is forever being shuffled to one place or another but she never seems to reach her destination.

 

Being from the same part of the world I'm quite attuned to proper local accents and enjoy hearing Maisie occasionally slip into a broad north Somerset accent which she then corrects and switches to a more bland or posh sounding voice, anyway it's nice to see she hasn't forgotten her roots and strangely they are in the West and not the North.

 

Arya is such a great character... Thanks for the info...

 

It was difficult this past Sunday without a new GoT episode.

 

True Blood here..

 

It looks like Game of Thrones, season 4 is now up for order: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Game-of-Thrones-The-Complete-Fourth-Season-Blu-ray/96671/

No release date, but I am excited to know "it's coming."

 

just picked up the first 2 seasons of GOT on DVD for $4.00 each...someday I'll rewatch them.

 

I just spent a week in Dubrovnik which has prompted me to start a marathon of the first three seasons. A remarkable show and place. BTW the beer was quite nice!

 

Supposedly Cersei (Lena Headey) is doing a great nude scene in the next season..

 

If its the epic scene I'm thinking of from the books it will not disappoint!

 

Supposedly, one main character and one minor character will be taking the next season off to give the show time to "catch up" with the books.

Spoiler: Here There Be Spoilers

Let me just say that after Dexter and Breaking Bad came to their respective ends, I was looking for some good shows to fill the void.

Game of Thrones has been a great follow-up show, it has the same amount of plot twists and surprises as Breaking Bad or Dexter (when the show was good) did. I think the first season might be my favorite, but the others are not far behind. Great sets, costume designs, excellent casting and acting for so many characters, very good storytelling script. And yes, there are beautiful women abound.

My only thing with the show- I had to pace myself and sometimes re-watch a few episodes to fully follow what was going on with all the different clans. There's a lot happening at once to process.

I have not read the books and at this point would prefer not to; I'd rather be surprised on a weekly basis as I have with previous television shows.

 

I'm not crazy about the books. I read the first 2 and don't feel I'll read anymore.

 

Game Of Thrones.
How come the DVD/BD series 4 box isn't out till February 2015?
They've missed this years Xmas market !

 

Didn't know where to post this, but decided here, since this is the last "major" thread on Game of Thrones. This is a short article about Natalie Dormer, with some pictures. Wow, I know she is pretty, but sometimes she is downright beautiful:
