KatWay February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 (edited) Did anybody post or see this already? Apologies if it has been discussed already, I just found this incredibly interesting. http://www.vulture.com/2015/02/game-of-thrones-george-rr-martin-original-plan.html Some of this sounds almost more interesting (and certainly less bloated) than we actually got...some of it I'm glad never actually happened. I'm going to guess that the Stark kids are older in this version. Mod Note: Some info in the link could be considered spoilery!

Holmbo February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 I have only seen it in the book spoiler topics so far. Do we need to spoiler tag if we are too discuss it? Not gonna come with any theories just say that it's interesting which characters that where there from the start and what other characters has been branched out from them. There's also some stuff about who will survive in the end which I'm not gonna mention because that could definitely be a major spoiler. Link to comment

Pete Martell February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 (edited) Archie Comics released a one-issue homage to Game of Thrones, called...Game of Phones. Archie was Robb, Betty was Daenerys, Jughead was Jon ("Snowhead") Veronica was Cersei, Reggie was Joffrey, Moose was The Mountain, etc. etc. Of course this is Archie, and not their "adult" line either, so it was all tame and in good fun, but still, it's a cool little homage, and you could tell whoever did it really was a fan of the show, just through certain lines and some odd moments here and there (for instance, Mr. Lodge was as chilling as Tywin was in those first seasons). http://www.nerdspan.com/comic-review-archie-664-game-of-phones/ Edited February 23, 2015 by Pete Martell 1 Link to comment
jjjmoss March 11, 2015 Share March 11, 2015 Entertainment Weekly has 4 covers for GoT this week: 4 of the 6 POV characters since the beginning. Bran obviously omitted since he's not around at all. Sansa also omitted due to jealousy that she's better than everyone, obviously. 1 Link to comment
AshleyN March 12, 2015 Share March 12, 2015 I was surprised to see Arya as one of them actually. She's obviously one of the most popular characters, but when it comes to PR and magazines it seems like the main faces have always been the Lannister siblings + Jon + Dany. Nice to see them mix it up a little bit. Link to comment

Pete Martell April 8, 2015 Share April 8, 2015 I really enjoyed that, even if it ran a bit too long. Kit Harington has good comic timing, as we see every blue moon on the show. I laughed when they abruptly cut off the mother theories. Link to comment
Maximum Taco April 12, 2015 Share April 12, 2015 Episode Leak! Link to Spoiler Free News Story: http://gizmodo.com/nearly-half-of-game-of-thrones-season-5-just-leaked-1697305966 First four episodes were leaked by some no doubt unsavoury individuals. So anyone who's wary of spoilers should be extra careful for the next few weeks. Link to comment
ElizaD April 12, 2015 Share April 12, 2015 That is such a shame. I love spoilers, but reading review comments about specific storylines and analyzing every second of trailer footage is different from actual episodes being accessible weeks before they're aired. Part of the fun and frustration of GOT is having a week to discuss the episode and speculate about the future before we find out what happens next on the show. These were probably the four episodes sent to reviewers, so I doubt 5-10 will leak. Has any show ever had its season finale leak more than a week before it airs? The biggest leak I can remember is that Wolverine movie which ended up doing OK at the box office despite being bad. Link to comment

The biggest leak I can remember is that Wolverine movie which ended up doing OK at the box office despite being bad. Movies get leaked a lot. You can find the critic screeners pretty easily for any movie that sends them out if you're so inclined. A lot of critics are unfortunately not very careful, usually the story is some lend them out to friends/family or the screener is "borrowed" by friends/family and ripped. It happens a lot less with TV shows cause most TV shows don't screen their episodes beyond maybe the season premiere. I'm guessing you are right that some critic was either less then careful with their copies or deliberately uploaded them, and the leaked episodes are the screeners sent out. The biggest leak I can remember (beyond this one) was actually a book, the 7th Harry Potter was leaked about a week ahead of it's release date IIRC. This is probably the easiest leak to pull off cause for a big release book stores get tonnes of copies in stock very early and books are rarely shrinkwrapped so it's easy for an employee to scan and upload them and be able to return the copy before anyone notices. I guess it doesn't happen very often cause few books carry as much hype as Harry Potter. Maybe the last ASOIAF will end up leaked as well though. Edited April 12, 2015 by Maximum Taco Link to comment

I've seen people say that they would like to get all the episodes at ones. I don't agree at all. I want to have a week between each so that there's time between them for discussion and speculation.

I want to have a week between each so that there's time between them for discussion and speculation. Both approaches have merit. I love the wait sometimes. But I don't deny that I always binge the season of House of Cards on a lazy Sunday and I love that Sunday. This 4 episodes at once leak isn't at all appealing to me though. You just get ahead of everyone else, and then you get a 4 week long cliffhanger. That could kill me. Edited April 12, 2015 by Maximum Taco 3 Link to comment

jjjmoss April 28, 2015 Share April 28, 2015 5.3 was even with 4.3 in ratings despite 5.1 being a series high. Perhaps due to more people catching onto the leaks, or people not being into what's happening? Well, we'll see how 5.5 stacks up against 4.5. Link to comment

ElectricBoogaloo May 26, 2015 Share May 26, 2015 Every week on Gay of Thrones, Jonathan discusses the most recent episode with a celebrity. I find it much more interesting when the guest has actually seen the show (some of them clearly have no idea who these characters are). These are two recent ones. He had me at "Dornish Kris Kardashian." 1 Link to comment
Avaleigh May 26, 2015 Share May 26, 2015 That made me laugh, ElectricBoogaloo. The second video reminds me of when I watched the Red Wedding happen on the show for the first time. (I might have shared this back on TWoP.) Anyway, I was watching it with two Unsullied viewers and one friend who is a bookreader. One of the Unsullied viewers had started watching the show from the Blackwater on and he claimed that he was only watching because of his Unsullied girlfriend who is the sister of my bookwalker friend. This guy frequently reminded us that he didn't like fantasy, he thought certain things about the series were "stupid", he thought Robb was a fool for executing Karstark, etc. Fast forward to the Red Wedding and this guy has his mouth hanging open and then says to us all 'Oh shit, so they're like treacherous motherfuckers? *pause* But there's another episode, right?' This guy is still a viewer btw and he did eventually watch the earlier episodes he missed. 2 Link to comment
