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.

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.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By excalpius · Posted

      >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine

      Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.

      I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
