Game of Thrones - Holy shit this TV show is awesome go watch it right now!

No seriously this is probably one of the most awesome series I have seen since Firefly, definitely locked into my top 10 TV series of all time list. If you liked Spartacus at all I can pretty much guarantee that you will enjoy Game of Thrones. It also has some really well known actors like:
Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings)
Lena Headey (300, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles)
Jason Momoa (Stargate Atlantis, Conan 2011)
David Bradley (Harry Potter)

The show also includes a lot of really awesome stuff like:
Swords and sword fighting
Blood and guts
Tits
Sex
Magic
Dragons
Loyal Dire-Wolf pups
Zombies (Wight Walkers)
Incest
Epic bloodline royal family feuding

You really need to go watch this show (preferably in 720p). It's an HBO Mini-Series that has been renewed for a second season (hopefully more, there are more books after-all). From what I've heard this is actually one of the few exceptions where reading the books beforehand is not a prerequisite, HBO did an amazing job following the book.

This is one of those series where the end of EVERY episode is a cliffhanger, so get fucking used to it. That said they are by far some of the best cliffhangers I've seen on TV ever.

...one year after everyone watched it...

But no, it's everything you say it is, which is good (for those who discount his words as garbage these days). Get ready for Season 2 on April Fool's Day!

What the hell is going on in your head? Also, I'd like to add a few of my own to that list:

Attempted Child Killing
Children Killing Children
Little Men With Sharp Tongues
Sexy Whores
BETRAYAL

And yes I just hijacked this thread, but I'm a peaceful hijacker and consented to return this bitch to the ground.

It's cool to see them pull it off in such a manner on television, I knew some smart-ass was going to point that out. I'm referring to the whole incest plot-line thing, not the incest itself (which might I add, is extremely less graphic than the regular sex scenes thank god).

And yeah, I get to all the good TV late because I don't watch anything on live TV so I have to go off the recommendations of friends. Then I acquire it and watch it when I have time.

HBO shits out amazing stuff. Just keep tabs on them and you can download their shows in HD in the same week the episode airs.

Poke.

Winters comin! *sean bean accent*

I havent watched a lot of it considering I am absolutely petrified of knights is dark armour (when they wear a helmet).

Shows to watch:
Game of Thrones.
Spartacus (Both series).
Rome.

All HBO TV series and they all have what you want. ;)

Ummm, isn't Spartacus a Starz series?

Yes, yes it is. However, Spartacus does show on HBO. Every single HBO series has at least one episode with sex in it. That's what I've noticed. Oh and they are all completely amazing shows otherwise.

Oh if you want boobs and good show, watch the Showtime channel. House of Lies and Homeland are both great shows, and start off with a nice serving of boobs.

Two out of three from this century are. But Starz has more of what TeeKup would be into, considering the latest Torchwood​ serial...

Spartacus has lots of explicit sex and nudity of both genders, however the nudity is pretty period authentic from what I've read of the Roman Empire/Gladiator time period. The body types obviously aren't accurate though, there are no fat people in Spartacus really.

There is definately gay sex though, but IIRC that was common back then as well.

Common today too

Not in the sense that people are open about it and just fuck in the middle of parties (usually).

A little place called San Francisco...

Its just that in our society its considered taboo and weird by many while in Rome it was perfectly acceptable for the wealthy to flaunt their bi-sexuality.

Having never read the books: :ohdear:

All the pictures for the new posters are from Season 1 :ugh:

Is it me, or does the actor who plays Arya have slight derpy-eye-ness.

I watched the entirety of season 1 in a night and morning, was excited and tired at the end - weird feeling. Can't wait for season 2.

It's not just you. Her expression is almost that one passive look of disapproval. It's quite subtle, though.

She looks mentally exhausted, shocked, lonely, but with a hint of determination.

Not going to read too deeply though, depends how good the actor is.

New Trailer for Season 2:

Also, the Simpsons got a Game of Thrones intro last night: http://io9.com/5890410/watch-the-sim...=gameofthrones

I think I'll need HBO to make me happy with this. I'm now so depersed at BioWare for the Mass Effect 3 ending that I need SOMETHING of awesomeness in order for my life to contine.

So depressed at BioWare.

HBO, bring me dragons and awesome true-to-book moments please!!!

I'm 68% through A Game of Thrones. So far the TV show is rather consistent in regards to the novel.

I just picked up the first 4 books with a gift card I had, I read the first chaptrer and re-watched the first episode and it was pretty bang on tbh.

It's pretty close up until the 6th or 7th episode, I find.

So goddam true

Hahaha...oh boy. It's all true! All of it! :gonk:

Triple post and nobody gives a derp:

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...41975330_n.jpg :gonk:

It's ok, I love this show too, and have read the entire book series so far. Can't wait for season 2.

Epic video is epic (and long). Pretty much a big overview of the TV series:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Dku_Uya8Ygc

I'm sure this will be shown on HBO at some point.

Episode 1 and Aria doesn't say a single line.

And yet, I like it perfectly.

MOAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You mean Arya?

He does. It was a super start to the second season.

Episode 2 is up on HBO GO for Dutch viewers. It's up on demonoid right now with the submitter as the only seeder and zero leechers. Looks like I'm going to help start up this episode too.

Proof:

Regarding Season 1, are they many scenes with knights in dark armour? Especially if the horses have armour on also.

Is it a new actress playing the white queen? I didn't follow along the first season very closely and dont remember her name lol.

What do you mean white? As in caucasian? Then no, it's not a new actress.

Same actor.

Thx Freelancer lol. There was some contention in my house about it.

Well this could be considered a spoiler, but it you haven't even seen the pilot episode of the series, you deserved to be spoiled:

Also, watch the final scene of the 2nd episode. Holy fuck is all.

This right here is why I don't WANT to read the books. This is quite possibly the only show where I LOOK FORWARD to the cliffhanger endings. Mostly because I know that since this is HBO they will deliver another equally awesome followup episode.

Is anyone else just really impressed by the size and awesomeness of the Stark dire wolves? I think they're by far one of the most awesome little touches the series has so far.

oh god, lol

I like the small changes in events that crop up in the TV show. It allows people who have read the novels even a little bit of suspense. And when they do it, it's simply to explain a concept from the book that is too detailed for the TV show, so they aren't breaking the story. That's than I can say for the last three Harry Potter films (HBP, DH1, DH2).

Someone on Reddit brought up a good point: Now we have to wait 2 weeks to see the next episode. I was at a loss for a moment until I realized that in some European countries, all the episodes are released on HBO GO a week before we get them. All we need is to have somebody webrip it every time :D Oh and I'm sure they will.

I more meant the gratuitous sex scenes, but yes.

I'm watching this show for political intrigue, not soft core porn, k thx?

I guess it was a bit over the top with the cum dripping out of mouth scene.

Now this definitely didn't happen in the book:

Too many goddamn gifs on that part of the page.

Also, I already posted the Cersei-Petyr meme, but it was taken down for some reason. Good to find it up somewhere else again.

EDIT:

http://www.optionated.com/wp-content...ionSecrets.png

So I just spent the last 2 days watching all of series 1 and the new episodes of series 2. I gotta say I am liking it, I wouldn't say I'm loving it though. It's all a bit confusing for me and although I do want to know whats going to happen, I don't have a dying need to know. Which other shows I do (Homeland, Dexter etc).

Loving the tits in the show though :D

FUCKING AAROW TO THE KNEE

Ugh, I think i'm going to start reading the books.

Shit was brilliant

That old fart got out-played by Tyrion. I like him, imo he's fair and gives quite good advice while being smart about his self-survival.

Tyrion went from being an asshole in season one to the protagonist in season 2

I like that

I see you guys have learned some stuff about the one good man at court.

Also,



I'll be drunk before half of any episode is over.

Yeah the budget was used up during the last scene of that episode.

Holy shit the last scene of that episode.

Gotta admit, they've stepped up the weirdness level in this episode (King Jeoffery scene) and this.

@Drinking Game, one way to die during a Thrones marathon.

Last week's episode was the first one of the series that I've watched. I'm halfway between thinking this is an awesome series versus a fanservice series.

If a sadistic little fuck having a prostitute bludgeon the other prostitute to a pulp, a midget (who is the best fucking character) blackmails the manwhore of his sister into being a double agent, men and women are being chosen at random for interrogation via rats eating through the chest under extreme heat all the while these people are being starved to death, and a hot red-head giving labor to a smoking darkness monster all while we can see said lady's vag and deflation of her pregnant stomach is pretty tame, then I would be both horrified and utterly curious to see what a wild episode is.

Especially since he looked like a total bitch while he was at it.

I bought the first volume of the graphic novel today. P cool shit. It's all just rehashed plot, though. I thought it was going to explain more of the shit that happened leading up to the Game of Thrones.
