That was kind of cheap looking, but again it's a teaser to remind us it's on the way. I really hope we get a proper trailer soon.

Regarding Wilko Johnson, that's awful news, hope he enjoys the time he has left.

As for the effect on the show, if they decide to recast, I just hope they do a better job than what they did with the new Gregor Clegane, I didn't even notice it was The Mountain for the first few time the new guy appeared. It's also possible they'll simply write him out, his role is not that important really, and they already kind of did a similar thing -- apparently Greatjon won't be returning to the show as the actor was unavailable during season 2 and they figured it wasn't worth recasting as most people would just think it was a new character, and getting him back in season 3 would mean it's been a while so people wouldn't remember who he was as he isn't really an integral character and didn't get much screen time.

It sucks, but it's bound to happen on a production scale like this, the show will run for years and there will probably be more things like this happening unfortunately.

And? He asked if he still had a role to play in the series. I simply stated that he did. Couldn't care less about anything else, to be completely honest. Notice I said Ilyn Payne, not Bob Humperdink or whatever the dying guy's name is.

I wasn't replying to you...but the thread in general. If I was replying to you...I'd quote you, and you'd know it.

You DID quote me, as well as directly reply to what I said. So try again.

Yes he does appear in the book. So? I can think of a hundred characters that appear in the book that don't appear in the show.

And yes, it seems I did reply to you directly...and I still don't give care that I forgot.

At least this season will only feature half of book 3, plus the bits of book 2 they left out. They really cut out a lot from book 2. Arya's journey before the capture was an amazing read, as well as Dany's trek through the desert. I understand they had to cut them for time, but I would have liked more scenes scattered throughout the episodes where we didn't see the characters at all.

Just finished watching Season 2. Started Season 1 in November, and watched a few episodes a week, then season 2 in december. Must say it's an awesome show. Can't wait for Season 3. Like the walking dead I haven't read any of the books so it's all new to me.

Well, I don't mind spoilers. Half the time I don't even know who is being talked about. For example the whole Hound and Sansa thing, I never got the vibe he wanted her. And how that has anything to do with Arya I don't know. So the spoilers/side talks in here really don't make much sense to me anyways.

The show really didn't show anything as what the book detailed with the Hound and Sansa.

Exactly, same as with walking dead. People talk about things from the books but they don't happen/happen different in the show so really it's not spoiling much.

The major plot points will happen in both. Those are the things you have to worry about, not relatively minor things like the Hound and Sansa Stark.

The Hound/Sansa thing was downplayed in the show for obvious reasons (her age). I'd say it's still there, just much more subtle, and it will be something most people catch on repeat viewings. But yeah, what episode said, you'll ruin major plot points that way.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂

      This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
