MindFreak Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Just watched s04e01 at a pre-screening yesterday. It's really good, follows the book nicely.
MoogleViper Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Not sure whether to watch this from the beginning, or do my usual thing of waiting for the end of the season, so I can watch them all at my leisure.
ChloboShoka Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I haven't seen all of it yet, looks like it will be very time consuming, but what I have read/seen was awesome. I've watched season one and Natalie Dormer being in it makes me really excited: she's a lovely actress. The cast are awesome and the scenery is just beautiful.
MindFreak Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Oh, one thing: They replaced the actor for Daario Neharis. That threw me off for a bit.
Jonnas Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Finished reading Storm of Swords last week. This Season is gonna be good. Can't wait to see what they do with Oberyn Martell. I'll be surprised if he isn't introduced in the first episode.

Hopefully the new one is better. Is this how you pictured him perhaps? I'm glad that they got rid of the blue hair for the show. It would have been difficult to take him seriously.
Magnus Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I have no idea who you people are going on about. Daari-who?
Jonnas Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Magnus said: I have no idea who you people are going on about. Daari-who? Reveal hidden contents At one point, Danaerys was approached by three men, leaders of a band of mercenaries working for Yunkai (the slaver city they were about to invade/liberate). One of them decided to kill/decapitate the other two and pledge his allegiance to her. He later sneaked into Yunkai during the night, along with Jorah (and maybe Selmy, can't remember). That's who Daario was. Good thing you asked, have you imagined if you started watching, and suddenly Danaerys is confiding in this dude whose face and name you can't recognize? Daario from the books dyes his hair frequently, in outlandish ways. His clothes also feature garish colours. He sounds like a badly recoloured sprite, really.

That sounds like every episode of Game of Thrones, to be honest.
Tales Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 How many slave cities are there? I see on the trailer she is liberating yet another slave city. Is she finished soon...?
Jonnas Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Tales said: How many slave cities are there? I see on the trailer she is liberating yet another slave city. Is she finished soon...? In the books there 3 slaver cities in total. In Season 3 she liberated 2.
Jimbob Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 So, the premier is at 2am. I doubt i'll be watching it live, what with having to go to work tomorrow.
Zell Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Fantastic first episode. I've read the books so I know what's coming, but the show is still all the more awesome! My favourite line in the episode has to be: Reveal hidden contents The Hound: "Course you named your sword!" Arya: "Lots of people name their swords" The Hound: "Lots of CUNTS" The Hound had all the best lines this episode. Also, for all of you book readers that have read the "Mercy" chapter from The Winds Of Winter... Reveal hidden contents Those lines at the end of the episode when Arya is killing Polliver - they are almost directly pulled from the Mercy chapter where Arya kills Raff the Sweetling in Braavos. I don't think it was any coincidence that GRRM released that chapter before the start of the season.
Jimbob Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Can't fault the first episode, follows the books nicely. Which is always good. Bring on the next episode is what i say.
Jonnas Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Reveal hidden contents -Oberyn Martell is awesome. Now that I'm actually watching the show while knowing what's coming, I'm all the more appreciative of when they expand on a character's introduction (on a related note, dayumn, XerxesStyr the Magnar of Thenn) -Charles Dance + Rains of Castamere + Wolf Pelt = Amazing scene -Is it me, or did Jon Snow's actor get good all of a sudden? -Arya and The Hound have good chemistry. Nice twist on the tavern scene. Yeah, pretty good episode. I have a feeling this Season won't be as slow-paced as Season 3. Zell said: Reveal hidden contents The Hound: "Course you named your sword!" We're on the same page (Gonna avoid those Winds of Winter spoilers for now. Haven't read Feast and Dance yet) Arya: "Lots of people name their swords" The Hound: "Lots of CUNTS" The Hound had all the best lines this episode.
Sheikah Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Amazing first episode. This series is totally going to spoil fans. An insane amount of stuff is coming. And winter.

MindFreak Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I'm wondering Reveal hidden contents how The Hound is going to get injured so Arya can leave him now.

Reveal hidden contents I was expecting them to depart ways soon after the inn, but maybe he could be sticking around with her and depart ways at Joffery's fateful wedding.
Cube Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Reveal hidden contents He named his sword! I was expecting something to go wrong, and it did in the best possible way. Also, is it me or have Bran and Rickon aged by about 5 years since season 3?
Dog-amoto Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 I was thinking that about Bran as well. It's the same with Carl in the Walking Dead. Must be a right headache for TV producers, especially if they've got long term plans for them.
MindFreak Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 I'm not done with reading the books but does it matter what age Bran and the others have? Reveal hidden contents I'm more than half way through A Feast for Crows and haven't read about Bran for a long time - hence I haven't read about the scene with Bran and the tree in this episode. I'm curious how far they will progress with Bran now while having to skip major parts of the others' stories. Also, Theon has got quite creepy!
Cube Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 MindFreak said: I'm not done with reading the books but does it matter what age Bran and the others have? It doesn't matter, he just seems to have changed a lot in a short space of time. Also, I haven't read the books, but I believe that a load of events in multiple books happen at the same time, and the show is doing a chronological order.
