Question, because I don't remember.

what happened to the crippled kid who could put his spirit in animals? Watching episode 5 and I thought Reek was told they killed the 2 boys, hanging burnt?

 

That story line isn't in this season.  The boy is still alive though.  He won't be back until season 6.

Is that how the book goes?

 

To be quite honest...I haven't read the books.  When it comes to books made into tv shows/movies the directors deviate too much for my liking and I'd rather just enjoy the show.

 

But, I follow the online forums/blogs/etc...like a maniac.  I love the show.

 play the telltale game

 

it is a bit slow but it is like watching an interactive story parallel to the show. and episode 3 is amazing!!

this game is a absolute must for the fans of the show.

For those without cable or low internet caps... I would 100% recommend downloading them.  Good quality, clear audio.. I see nothing wrong with them.

I think one if the reasons not to, is purely vanity, in my case, I've spent a small fortune on building my home theatre set up, so it's hd or bust for some, sd or ota broadcasts look terrible on big hd screens

But if you are a video buff.. you aren't going to download anything sub 1080 anyways.

Look for an old movie Kama Sutra, (The version that stars Rekha <Bollywood superstar>) She gets naked in that :p

 

Oh I've seen it ;)

i'm pretty far behind, is that kid still the king or has he finally been killed off?

 

Depends on which kid you mean.  Joffery was killed last season, so his little brother Tommen is now king.

Why does this season seem so much lower quality compared to what I I've come to expect from GoT.

 

...maybe I'm just getting bored of the show.

 

...maybe it's just because I'm not interested in the current phase of character development. I find the only arcs I seem to like are not really being shown with the exception of John Snow / Stannis which is always good. They've even managed to make Arya's arc boring, and I couldn't give a damn about Sansa/Bolton, Brienne and Daenerys.

 

I miss the Lannisters, the hound and even Joffrey.

a lot of bad guys we loved to hate are gone and it makes the show less entertaining

 

also book 4 is the weakest in the series. 

 

we are also OFF SCRIPT for a lot little things so its not as intriguing and complex as the book is and was in previous seasons 

Well, if they tried to go by the books, they'd dig their own grave. Characters get little screen time as it is, imagine cramming ten more storylines and two dozen more characters, we'd be watching a slideshow, not a TV series. They're doing a marvelous job compressing very bloated source material.

 

For me, perfectly on-par with previous seasons. Looks-wise, might be even better, loved the cinematography of the latest episode. Can't wait to see how the whole Winterfell story goes down (Sansa/Brienne/Stannis/Melisandre), considering it's such a departure from the books.

Man, that was intense.

 

I kind of feel that, as painful (both physically and mentally) this was for Sansa, she still wasn't a victim in all this, as she perfectly knew what she was getting into back when Littlefinger made the offer. And the whole ordeal could have been much, much worse. *cough*Jeyne Poole*cough* Still, very unnerving to watch. I do wonder how it progresses from this point on, especially since this is so divorced from books. My thinking is, her book marriage deal turns out similarly unpleasant, and that it fuels the fire for her eventually turning her back on Littlefinger. I also happen to think he was directly responsible for Ned's beheading (even Cersei was visibly shocked by Joffrey's decision, and I'm kind of thinking he didn't come up with the idea on his own), ant that she will figure it out, and since she is his only weakness, it will be the end of him. Or at least that's what I hope for, because I'd hate for her to regress back into being a pawn.

 

And the whole Arya bit about the Hound was adorable in a way.

I was waiting for Theon to snap out of it and kill Ramsey during the final scene.

    • Glow 26.10 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.10 changelog: New Features The bootstrapping algorithm has been completely redesigned. The software can now launch directly without requiring TS Preloader. As part of this change, the startup splash screen displayed during initialization has been removed. In addition, spikes in CPU usage have been eliminated, resulting in a more stable architecture with significantly lower memory consumption. The Microsoft Office detection infrastructure within the Operating System section has been enhanced. Additional detection support has been added for Office C2R (Click-to-Run) installations. Furthermore, the license status evaluation system has been improved, and the priority order has been revised as follows: Licensed > Grace Period > Other (NOTIFICATIONS, EVALUATION, etc.). Glow now includes preliminary support for Wi-Fi 8 technology, allowing more detailed information to be displayed for Wi-Fi 8-compatible network adapters. Glow now provides full support for Bluetooth 6.2. Adapters supporting Bluetooth 6.2 can be analyzed in greater detail and with improved accuracy. The disk distribution view in the Disk section has been modernized, replacing the traditional table layout with a new 2×2 card-based design. The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to v26.7. Thanks to the new custom controls, all Türkaysoft applications now offer a more modern and consistent user interface aligned with Windows 11 design standards. Bug Fixes Potential line-ending handling issues in the Office detection code within the Operating System section have been resolved. Additionally, the output format has been standardized to UTF-8 to prevent character encoding issues and ensure consistent data processing. Several stability and file management issues within the Debugging infrastructure have been addressed. Problems that prevented new log files from being created after Debugging was disabled, as well as issues causing debug records to be lost, have been fixed. File deletion and reaccess issues that occurred after file locks were released have also been resolved. In addition, a bug that caused newly recreated log files to remain locked after deletion has been eliminated. Unnecessary blank lines within debug logs and the extra empty line that could appear at the end of log files have also been corrected. A shortcut key conflict caused by assigning identical hotkeys to both the DNS Test Tool and the Donation page has been fixed. The DNS Test Tool can now be accessed using CTRL + Shift + D, while the Donation page is available via CTRL + Alt + D. Changes The service responsible for providing the Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider information in the Network section has been updated to use the ipinfo.io infrastructure. This change improves the accuracy and consistency of the displayed data. (No external requests are made while Hiding Mode is enabled.) Some terms in the Dutch and Korean language files have been updated to make them clearer and more user-friendly. [TS Updater] Before the update process begins, users are now prompted to choose whether they would like to view the release notes. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error. Download: Glow 26.10 | 1.8 MB (Open Source) Links: Glow Homepage | Screenshot | Github Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
