I've watched the 4 episodes and I really enjoy this season a lot. Don't think it was underwhelming at all.

Not bothering with the leaked eps because I ain't really got time to binge watch. I thought the first episode did a good job of laying ground work for the plot lines to come. I could see some separation from the books but not overwhelmingly so just yet.

going by the books (been a while since i read the books that were out), isnt this season supposed to be really boring?

Nah there's plenty they still have. Brienne, Arya, Jon Snow, Stannis and Dany all have interesting plots ahead and we should get to see the Sand Snakes introduced soon as well.

It was a very good opening episode... episode 1s are always tough as they have to recap the previous season to refresh peoples minds and lay a lot of ground work. Episode 2 looks great as well, after that who knows.

They are deviating from the books quite a bit now it seems, which should make A Feast for Crows content a bit more bearable. For TV they can't really stop showing Jon Snow, Tyrion, Daenerys, Arya. So they will weave their stories into the others and collapse a bunch of characters.

As an example:

Definitely will watch when they air. I enjoy the weekly conversation and the seasons are short anyway so watching most now will ruin the next 4 sundays.

could you and all your eye patch wearing buddies please post this kind of material in the spoiler thread? I'm not interested in anyone's opinion on shows that haven't aired yet.

PS I liked episode 1 a lot. Thought is was a solid opening to the season. What didn't you like about episode 1?

I'm surprised the show omitted a couple things that happens in the books in regards to the first scene with young Cersei and the witch psychic, I mean its pretty major stuff.

Haha seeing the new king, I kinda miss Goffrey at the very least he was entertaining.

nitpicking is pointing out small flaws in something that's otherwise good, i flat out thought the first 4 episodes sucked, and yes i love the show and out of everyone i know that has watched the first 4 episodes the vast majority were disappointed ... i doubt you will since you're going to have such lowered expectations now

dont be scared off of spoilers things have to actually happen in order to make a spoiler :lol:

on the other hand i thought silicon valley season 2 premiere was great

one bright spot i thought was
