Ran Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 It will be on-line at 9:15 EDT, and I believe Sky Atlantic will be airing it on the 14th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edda van Heefmstra Ruston Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Nitpicking out of the way first: EDT, unless there's some reason they're reverting away from daylight savings time for this. :P (Also, 'miscellany'.)Also, bfc, you may find it useful to invest in a cable or two to hook your laptop up to your TV, just in case you do decide to go the laptop route. I love watching stuff online that is fed to the HDTV here in the hotel - totally different experience, especially with the better speakers. I am lucky enough to have HBO here, so I can watch initially straight on the TV, but if I rewatch later, it'll have to be through the laptop - and I'm definitely using the TV as my computer display in that case.

Trebla Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 That was quite a whet of the appetite. "White Walkers" and confirmation that there are wights...or whatever they'll call them. I very much liked the ominous feeling they portrayed beyond the Wall.eta: yeah, that did go by really fast. I'm guessing that the very next scene is the pup scene.

Abaddon Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I can't believe that was 15 minutes... it went by so fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrett Frey Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 You could see the heart tree in the Godswood behind Winterfell! I loved Arya with the bow and arrow. It was all amazing and I’m bound to have it memorized by the time the premiere airs in two weeks. Well done, HBO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Yep, it's the pups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mya Stone Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Loved it. Dub is already making fun of me for fangirling. His one comment was: Catelyn looks off. (This is the first video he has seen so far.) I disagree. I love her look, and have defended it from the get-go. (He thinks she has lost too much of the beauty that she had when she was younger.) My only nitpick was that they didn't have Theon kick Will's head. I suppose they'll find other ways to set him up to be an ass, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So1ar Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 well...that was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mya Stone Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I should also add that visually, that was stunning. And yes, Arya stole the show, but Bran took a piece of my heart away, too. Loved the lighter fare they're showing - the Starks as they were before the King comes to town and it all goes to shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josiah Rowe Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'd noticed this before (in previews), but hadn't seen it discussed anywhere: does anyone know why they changed the survivor of the attack (and subsequent deserter) from Gared to Will?

cutters10c Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Wow, the others were totally different than what I imagined, yet awesome and very frightening. Actors look great, visuals look great, I am stoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abaddon Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'm going to need to watch that again, more than a few times. Got it DVRd for the next two weeks at which point it will be gratefully replaced with the full episode. Seeing it on a "big" (only 42", but still a lot bigger than my laptop screen!) screen in HD made a huge difference.A few mildly off notes for me, but overall, very good on average with some excellent high notes. But overall I am still a little stunned I actually watched the thing after all this build up, so again, I will need to watch it a few more times before being able to say much of anything.

snake Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I liked it. I think as an adaption there will be some disappointments due to not being able to cover everything but I think I'm really gonna like it. I'm just gonna have to forget the books and enjoy the show for what it is. I can do that.I'm now getting excited for the 17th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convivial Edd Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'm not thrilled at how the Others looked. Too close to Uruk-hai. Other than that, everything was AMAZING. I can't wait to see the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
