Heh.
[ACoK]

Spoiler

Does he end up doing much in A Clash of Kings other than being around when other things happen? I'm curious how much of him we'll end up seeing before a few major incidents towards the back end of the season. He very rarely got screen time in S1, and I don't know how much more he'll get in S2...

ACOK

Spoiler

the only thing Rickon does before the end of the book is get hit with a stick by the Frey wards who aren't even in the show now.

 

[Emerson]

These things will be in the wild by tonight.

Like others said it's unlikely, and if it happened I dunno why it's worthy of a ""

I'd love to watch one or two early. I'd hardly feel bad about it considering I pay for HBO anyway.

The "" is because I don't want to watch them early or see descriptions somewhere by accident.

 

[Cornballer]

the only screeners ive ever heard of leaking are from showtime

and there seems to be debate over whether its intentional

Yeah, I think those are intentional given how consistently they're out, plus they're usually high quality.

I'd love to watch one or two early. I'd hardly feel bad about it considering I pay for HBO anyway.

Personally, I wouldn't bother if it was an SD copy with a fat watermark over it, but I can see how it's tempting.

 

[Iksenpets]

You know, I do think the whole Greyjoy thingis a bit of a spoiler. Not blaming you Cornballer, but HBO marketing mostly. Choose your house?

Spoiler

At this point many viewers who have never read the books assume that Theon is basically Robb's best friend and suddenly there he is in the Greyjoy trailers talking about becoming a king.

Now after the first episode or two it will make sense, but I suppose I can where some people have been upset by it.

ACoK spoiler

Spoiler

Theon eventually becoming King of the Iron Islands is part of his and Robb's plan from the very beginning of ACoK. It's pretty much one of the first things to happen in the season. If that's a spoiler, then Renly and Stannis crowning themselves is a spoiler, too. Unless you're on a complete media blackout, the fact that House Greyjoy has a significant role in season 2 is pretty obvious.

 

[Buckethead]

Use the book before your spoilers.

I'm beyond asking nicely.

 

[Fuu]

edit: nevermind, I misunderstood what was written, crisis averted. thank you based god.

Theon eventually becoming King of the Iron Islands is part of his and Robb's plan from the very beginning of ACoK, even while he's still loyal to Robb. It's pretty much one of the first things to happen in the season. If that's a spoiler, then Renly and Stannis crowning themselves is a spoiler, too. Unless you're on a complete media blackout, the fact that House Greyjoy has a significant role in season 2 is pretty obvious.

I think it's hype on a curve.

Stannis, Renly are revealed and "that's enough for me for now!" and they go on blackout. Then the Greyjoys pop up and they're like "I didn't know that, spoiler!"

I'm not sure how that mind works. I am not one of them.

 

[Fuzzy]

Hooooooooly shit at the spoiler on post 555 on this page, never nonchalantly clicking anything not adequately tagged again. I was so lucky until now. T_____T

I only read half of the first sentence but fuck. Can someone tell me if that spoiler was for AFFC or ADWD?

What he posted is from ACoK but I don't remember that specifically.

 

[Fuu]

What he posted is from ACoK but I don't remember that specifically.

Yeah, I decided to reread it and I somehow misunderstood the first sentence completely as something that was going to be revealed later on. Whew!

 

[AngryMoth]

Given the size of Gaf's audience and cultural significance, I feel we are entitled to a few copies of those screeners. I'll happily volunteer myself as envoy and write up impressions

 

[Emerson]

That's true enough.

 

[TheExodu5]

Haha I just did the same thing.

 

[Emerson]

I'm working my way through my pre-season 2 rewatch. This is obviously a nitpick, but I hope they get the music sync in the credits sequence right this season. Compare Episode 1 to Episode 7 or so, and when they added new locations they had to add a bunch of extra beats to the music that really mess it up in my opinion. I'm not a composer or anything but it seems like a really avoidable thing to me, and I hope this season they're all the episode 1 version.

 

[Cornballer]

Critics starting to watch the screeners:

The first two episodes of S2 #GameofThrones are very, very strong indeed. Some spellbinding, heart-pounding stuff. I've missed this world.

Also:

The Game of Thrones tidbit:

We don’t monetize each of our shows the same way. Shows like Game of Thrones and True Blood are quite successful financially, and that allows us to experiment and take risks.

Damn it feels good to be a Lannister.

Ballin' OP, Cornballer. So excited for this and Mad Men. Great time right now for TV.

They starting a campaign to get the peach in the show.

 

[mf.luder]

This is a very, very dumb question but will this season be extrapolated entirely from the second book? I haven't finished the first one yet and was curious.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Not entirely. There will be some stuff from the third book, and it's assumed that some events in the second book will be pushed to the third season.

 

[catotheyounger]

This is a very, very dumb question but will this season be extrapolated entirely from the second book? I haven't finished the first one yet and was curious.

Apparently some book3 content is being moved up and some book2 stuff moved out for later - if not entirely. Then there is the bits that the writers created specifically for the show - like Ros - that will continue as well.

EDIT: Dammit. Beaten like Sansa.

Haha. Nice.

Something interesting I noticed on IMDB (ACOK spoilers)

Spoiler

Sean Bean is listed as credited for episode 10 of season 2. House of the Undying perhaps?

 

[Harry Potter]

Sorry if this has been posted before. I've never seen it. It's flashes for a split second in the pilot.

THRILLEEEEEEEEERRRR!!

We discussed it briefly in the other thread - it's probably fake. IMDB isn't 100% reliable.

If you're ten and watching Goosebumps, maybe.

 

[suzu]

They look pretty goofy looking to me. I think it's the eyes, haha.

Dolph Lundgren season 3 casting confirmed.

 

[Cornballer]

Rewatching a bit of "You Win or You Die". Tywin cutting up the stag is scary stuff. Great bit of casting with Charles Dance in that role. Jon's hissy fit after not being named Ranger is amusing.

Yeah I figured that's a possibility, still thought it was interesting though.

Intriguing possibility, certainly.

Indeed.

RENLY IS NOT RIGHT!



Sorry, I just can't hold it back.

That's a decent Rhaegar.

oh man, oh man

You've either ruined my favorite scene from S1, or made it 10 times better. I can't tell

Ten times better, definitely.

And I just found out that it was apparently Galbart Glover, not just some random extra. That line, however, was still very much unscripted. And amazing.

 

[Azrael]

There may not be one. The S1 one intro could have just been a series intro instead of a season intro. Though, I hope we get one each season.

If we do, then perhaps it's going to be

Spoiler

the Burning of the Seven scene?

Spoiler

One of the critics said someone dies in the first few seconds of the first episode. Doesn't sound like the Prologue to me. I'd have to guess then the very first scene will be the Red Wastes.

That's one of my favorite scenes from season 1. Great addition that I found out later wasn't in the book.

Galbert Glover, the unmarried guy some whisper about as well? This is getting better and better.

I read the second book after watching the first TV season.

It's too weird.

I have the world imagined in my head from the show, but NONE of the new characters look how I picture them. Total bizarro world happening in my brain.

I'm glad I never read the books until I saw the season 1 promo material. I enjoyed reading through it with the actors in my head. In the later books I tried not to form a mental image and I'd just fill it in when I saw the actor. That worked for the most part.
