boojam Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 For Season 4, it's a bunch of people tripping over or forgetting their lines; Magnar getting his axe stuck in a rack; and about half of it is the 45 second or so clip of Jaime and Tyrion dancing down the courtroom aisle. Yeah that's the one that's already out there, there is none for seasons 1-3 , that I remember. This one is so short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotcat Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Got the shipping notification for mine, so it'll be here on the 16th. It's the last day of my mid term holiday at college, so three guesses what I'll be spending my last day of freedom doing! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boojam Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Kate Dickie hasn't been in the main cast since season 1, like Rory McCann. It's a notable omission. One thing that's odd, there's no combo set for the US version (DVDs included with the Blu-rays).Kate Dickie , like so many on the show, is a fine actress I never knew of. Even tho she has been in a lot of TV stuff, and stage work. Yeah too bad she wasn't there. One wonders where her scenes from season 3, never used, are?

Le Cygne Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I agree, I thought she was wonderful, too. She really brought life to those scenes. She is on one of the episodes for commentary, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timm Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 There's a "Bastards of Westeros" feature on disc 1. It runs through the various bastards in the show. GrrM's last line in the feature (after stating thet Ramsey gets nothing from Roose), is "There's also some analogues here to the Tyrion - Tywin relationship". He seems to choose the word "analogues" quite deliberately, and there might be just the ghost of a grin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be shocked if It did not happen at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrell19 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 or vice-versa! I think Roose is too smart to let Ramsay get the better of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boojam Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Just watched the commentaries for S4 E1 and E2. When you get more than 2 people talking many times there will be an interesting scene that will go by with comment on the last scene or something that has nothing to do with that scene. I have seen this with film commentaries before. It was interesting for Episode 2 every now and then something would be on screen that was not in the book, George would make note of it, sometimes he would praise it or even say it was better than what he wrote , or a few times, he would note it and make no further comment. Of course GRRM wrote E2 and he knew what he had to write since it was different, and I am guessing he had an outline of how that episode would go.

Le Cygne Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 He's very polite. But while he said he likes their Shae, he also said when it came time for him to kill her (a main plot point), that made it difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beric175 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I think Shae on the show is an actual character as opposed to the cardboard she is in the books and I wished they had kept her deleted scene in but it might have given away things too early but at least it shows that they thought it was a relevant step in Shae's mindset.

Shae is a character in the books, and more importantly, her motivations in the books (what we know of them) make sense with what she has to do. There's a reason people kept speculating about how TV!Shae would end up differently than the book version: because the changes they made to the book version mean that their trying to shoehorn her into the same storyline not work.

boojam Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 For this season 4 DVD set I note they have the most classy 'overture' sequence for the disk main menu I have seen on almost any DVD I have. Ramin Djawad music goes beautifully with montage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Grimshaw Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I have the non bluray set and I noticed that the Breaker of Chains episode (the one with the altar rape scene) is the only episode without any commentary.

boojam Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Finally got to finish up with disk 4. One surprising comment was by Alex Graves saying twice that by E10 they had run out of money. With the success of S3 I figured they had the budget to cover S4 , they knew E9 would be expensive. I found Graves comments for E10 kind of mixed, great when commenting about technicalities but all gushy about the cast, seems he said like 5 times "these are my favorite actors". Well ok, they are all good, but seemed he lost track of who he loved best! Gwen and Rory were quieter than I expected, but they were good. One feature on disk 4 surprised me, I could swear I had seen a 'making of E9' before and the same footage was here but like extended by twice as much as I remembered. Glad for that, these HBO DVD's have a penchant for REALLY QUICK extra features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise or cowardly? Each year the DVD commentaries exclude one episode not clear why. It was noticeable that it was E3 , maybe just a coincidence , for me the most memorable sequence was the ending scene at Meereen, I don't even remember the other 'controversial scene'.

Jack Bauer 24 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 They ran out of money? Yikes. I hope that doesn't happen for this season since it sounds like it's going to be the heaviest on CGI yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
of man and wolf Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 So let me ask this...listened to the commentary on episode 6, with the fight at the dreadfort...they said Asha rana way because she could either die in the kennels for nothing(because she can tell there is nothing left of Theon) or go back to the islands as the heir to that throne(which may imply no kingsmoot). But they also said that the sex between Ramsay and Myranda was originally just a sex scene but became part of the montage for Asha's dialogue and rah rah speech during editing. So that blood all over him must have been something that maybe happened to Myranda? Is she dead or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
