Andhaira Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Scenario: The series is approved, and the pilot is being broadcast on t.v. So the pilot is on tonight! Finally, after so many years you get to see something you never thought would happen when you read the books: To see the series unfold on the boob tube. You still remember the prologue vividly thanks to GRRM's excellent prose. You wonder with bated breath if the scenes will match the ones your mind conjured up. What will the Others look like? What about the Wall? Will Waymar Royce be shown as green as he was? Did they remember to CGI Gaered's ears so they look frostbitten? There is a very good chance the pilot will be broadcast in near conjunction with the first episode; in essence the pilot WILL become episode 1.So how will you go about actually watching it? Get together with a fellow ASOIAF lover, cook your favorite meal, dim down the lights, order a plasma tv?(Obviously we will all rush here on westeros.org to post our opinions :D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LacyinTX Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Well, I can say for sure that all three of my DVRs will be set to record... you know.. just in case! I will probably watch with the hubby... while I try not to spoil it for him by saying... "ooh, watch this part.. it is important!" or "That's Not How It Was in the Book!":) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aoede Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I'll be in college, and lucky if I have the time and access to a television... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfhand Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I'll be watching it with my wife (who just recently finished ASoS, funnily enough she got interested in the series AFTER reading the pilot script). I also hope to live blog my reactions on Winter Is Coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitheach Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 It would be fun to have a bunch of fans in NYC and borough area get together at a pub with a large screen, major volume and excellent brew... Any New Yorkers out there? Lets plan! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pita Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 If I get HBO by then, I'll sit down and make sure noone else is in the room with me, except for maybe ASOIAF fan friends. Otherwise, I'm watching it as soon as it goes online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellis Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I will have to rely on a board meetup, as I am unlikely to have a digital converter, let alone cable, let alone HBO. Right now I live completely oblivious to the concept of television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wedge Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Will it be on hulu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aoede Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Will it be on hulu?A quick search turns up only sports things from HBO. If it doesn't usually make money off advertising -- making money off subscriptions instead -- would it still make sense for it to let Hulu stream its stuff? I personally don't think so, but then again IANA TV executive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparq Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Hopefully, the BBC will broadcast it or BCC1 or BBC2, which I can get. If HBO broadcasts it earlier I'm downloading it, as HBO is US only I believe. I wonder when they'll find out that you can't keep the rest of the world waiting anymore, or even worse keep them out completely with stuff like Hulu. Of course if the show ends up being as great as I think it will be, I'll buy the blue-ray set, or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablonohablo Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 At a friend's most likely. One that has HBO. The likelihood of my wife and I getting cable TV died when we decided to get DSL internet because it was at least $20 less a month than Comcast.

Andhaira Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 The pilot will air Sep. 29 in UK.Assuming you were not joking, that date can't be true as the pilot will only begin filming sometime in october, from what I have read. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
