Season premiere was good.

'Twas. So many characters, couldn't even fit in Arya. Gah!Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
Pretty sure that's the first time they used a flashback, right?
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
Yup. And it was a nice way of dropping one in. Not a game-changer with its information or employment, but a perfect tone-setter.Quoting number8 (view post)
I guess by now you guys know the first four episodes that were sent to critics subsquently leaked online last night, right?
Having the first 40% of HBO's scheduled season drained of its exclusivity has gotta hurt. At this point in the series' popularity, especially with it being the most pirated show in the world, that's like the TV equivalent of the first hour of Age of Ultron making its way online.
Last 11 things I really enjoyed:
Speed Racer (Wachowski/Wachowski, 2008)
Safe (Haynes, 1995)
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)
Bad Trip (Sakurai, 2020)
What's Up Doc? (Bogdanovich, 1972)
Diva (Beineix, 1981)
Delicatessen (Caro/Jeunet, 1991)
The Hunger (Scott, 1983)
Pineapple Express (Green, 2008)
Chungking Express (Wong, 1994)
The flashback doesn't really do anything for Cersei's character though. I guess it kind of gives her more paranoia than straight out anger.
I'm really interested in the suggested Tyrion / Targaryen relationship.
I thought it added another layer of explanation to her dynamic with Margaery. Wasn't necessary, but it explains in more detail why Cersei hated the young pretty Tyrell since day one.Quoting Ezee E (view post)
I know people have criticized me in these forums for downloading a lot of the stuff I watch, but the funny thing is I was actually looking forward to watching a new Game of Thrones every Sunday - seemed like a nice day of the week for watching a show like this the old fashioned way.
Now I don't know if I'll be able to resist... Anyone knows how's the quality of the leak?
420p quality. Watchable.
I'm paying for HBO and will probably download them to free up my Sunday night. Does that make me a pirate?
Nah, I'll stay with the Sundays.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
Watch all four and then wait four weeks for the fifth episode? No thank you.
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
My thoughts exactly.Quoting number8 (view post)
And yes Duke, that makes you a pirate.

That Cersei-Margaery scene is, to me, Game of Thrones at its best.

This season is moving at a snail's pace.
Let them set the table like they do every season.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)

Love everything going on in the House of Black and White.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
Tons of setup going on across the board. It's great.
House of Black and White? Is that a book thing? I thought we were past the book.Quoting Ezee E (view post)
It's where Arya is.
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
Oh yeh, that is the only thing this season that has any build. There's literally no build anywhere else.
WTF do you mean? The Cersei storyline is the most exciting to me right now, Dany is facing a revolution, and Sansa is about to be married into a family that slaughtered hers. I'd say those are all more interesting than Arya's impending training montage.
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
Are you kidding?Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
Sansa's story probably has the most going for it right now as conflict brewing. Something big is coming from that.
Arya's story is just in an area that I have yet to see in GoT.
I get the feeling that there isn't a standard training montage in Black & White.Quoting number8 (view post)
At least I hope not.
Dany's struggle with the revolution is pretty good too. A change from her ease of taking over place after place. However, it feels like the scenes we've seen are sort of repeating themselves since last season when the dragons started lighting up goats.
