That's gotta count for something but then again he could've caught them off guard. ??? damnit! Thats not a show spoiler, thats a book spoiler. Didn't you read the OP? | ||

TV = 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 (with every - being a week in between) Internet is gonna be 6 7 - - 8 - 9 - 10 Downloading the extra ep means having to wait another week before the show is back on track. But i will still do it  | ||

But the problem is you will have the episode all over the internet and HBO Go subscribers will have to wait 2 weeks to see a new episode. | ||

Maybe just a measure of how good the show is and if they made a good choice to air it or not. Sure you might argue that audience makes more subscribers. But subscribers wont sudenly sign off their subscription because of this. This won prevent any subscriber that wants to see GoT to sign on HBO. Simply their are promoting a new product. With no negative impact on current clients. win-win situation. | ||

Of course, it does give them valuable information in terms of their subscriber base' true viewership dichotomy. Perhaps they are considering the cancellation of a few of their shows, and want to get a better idea of the true audience numbers. It's also a way to sell HBO, with all of the "sign up" links anytime you try to do something. | ||

Just when I started to get excited and all they started introducing really badly choreographed fights... I was really expecting a bit more from HBO and the actors on this one, seeing what HBO did with Rome for example. + Show Spoiler [ep5] + Jamie vs Ned was complete bullshit... I mean, supposedly the most skilled swordsman in the seven kingdoms and a veteran of no less than 2 wars duking it out and it looks like some kindergarten kids swinging at each other... They could do one of the two things: 1. Hire someone who knows this stuff and make him teach the actors and prepare the choreography (like the most basic thing and the most common mistake in the movies: swing at the man, not at the sword). 2. Direct the show as a play in the theater (it got some potential when Baelish nearly broke the fourth wall once) so no one can complain about bad CG, fight scenes etc. It worked really well for Dune and The Children of Dune miniseries. Of course, there are more blatant errors in this show. Apart from swords being too shiny and fake-looking you have Jon having a 2 week beard in one scene and being clean-shaven in the next scene, which is supposedly taking place the same day, and then having his beard back again... They surely dropped the ball a couple of times. And on a sidenote, I was wondering how the show is received by people who haven't read the books... Except the obvious sex/incest complains (which I believe are valid, you can make your show look real and dirty without cramming tits and sex scenes into 1/3rd of every episode). I mean, the show is nice for me, because I've read 4 books of the series and I know the background and stories of the characters involved (not counting knowing what's going to happen in the future). If I haven't read the books I believe I'd be a bit lost, there's quite a few names, houses, places and pieces of history that are mentioned very scarecely, if at all, in the show and are quite vital to some of the plot lines which might confuse people. | ||

The show is loved as far as i can see, non of my friends nor i read the books (though i knew about them and wanted to), and a lot of us started to watch, i watched every ep 3 times, and started reading the books as well | ||
