That is sad. And not to be a tool but "star"?

There shouldn't be a problem with having two threads...we do it with "Walking Dead".Just name this the TV Show Only thread and let's move forward.My son hates the "Mother of Dragons"...I of course, think she's awesome. I told him that eventually they'll all have to rely on her dragons to be rid of those stinking white walkers in my opinion.I was so bummed they killed Sean Bean...that dude dies in everything so I should've seen it coming as soon as I saw his name.I can't wait for the new season.

Wait, how old is your son? He is old enough to watch, but not appreciate Khaleesi? I just assumed every male watching the show had a thing for her. Also, to add to this thread, HBO has "supersized" season 3. Still only 10 episdoes, but most episodes will be a little longer which will equate to almost an entire new episodes worth of show.

He's 17 next month...he says something about the way she says "I am the Mother of Dragons"...he doesn't think everyone should be kissing her butt.

Not yet...I'll have to look it up.

In case you wanted to get the Blu Ray for season two Walmart has a preorder for $35, in store only.

Is there any legal way for me to watch this show without having HBO through my cable company? I cut the cable, and this was one of the few shows I actually watched. I wish there is a way I could get HBO shows like Amazon.com does with season pass. I pay 1.89 per episode for Walking Dead, and get new episodes the next day.

That stinks. Guess I will be waiting another year to watch Season 3.

I feel bad doing it illegally but I know that they will get my money through DVD/BluRay sales so it makes me feel a little better (not much).

If you had a cool enough friend with HBO...you could borrow his/hers HBO GO account. That would work.

I'm struggling with a minor dilemma; I watched seasons 1&2 having never read the books. Since season 2 ended, I read books 1&2 (just finishing 2) and don't know whether I should read 3 and hold off watching, or just watch 3 and read the book after the season ends. Will probably end up watching but either way I can't wait for book/season 3 to get underway.

I think you'll enjoy watching and then reading. The reading will add a ton of detail and isn't damaged as much by spoilers from the show, whereas the big reveals on the show have a lot more impact if you haven't read, if that makes sense.I'm struggling with a minor dilemma; I watched seasons 1&2 having never read the books.

If not for Breaking Bad season 5A I'd say I haven't been this excited for a new season of a show since Sopranos Season 3 or (Maybe Deadwood Season 3)

Book 3 is amazing, and #### really hits the fan. I was watching some of the bonus features on the first couple seasons and the producers were even saying that the 1st 2 seasons were basically just build-up to these next two seasons (since I guess book 3 is being chopped in half).Ilov80s said:

Cannot wait. Book three lends itself to being an AMAZING season (or two) and this cast and crew has the ability to make this outstanding.

Don't forget to watch Vikings on History Channel. Very solid. I think there is a new Ep. tonight. It appears to be a nine part miniseries I guess. Has a very Game of Throny feel to it.

Except being on History I don't think they can be as graphic as GoT. Good series though and well worth watching.

No but the set designs and acting are pretty solid.
This may be a dumb question.. but I'm looking at upgrading my Time Warner package from internet only to TV subscription with HBO. TW obviously wouldn't be able to make it out to install the cable box and everything until later this week, but any idea if I can immediately utilize the HBOGo part and catch the premiere live tonight on my laptop?
I'm guessing things don't work that fast and it's not possible.. just really eager to watch this live tonight and I don't know of any online streaming sites or anything of that nature.

My guess is you wouldn't have your account activated until they actually install it, but I would call them and ask because you never know.
Yeah I went ahead and ordered new service but it looks like it won't work until everything is setup. Oh well, at least I'll get to watch it live going forward next week.
T-minus an hour until it's on.

From seeing the previews it looks like HBO upped the budget for season 3...It looks spectacular visually

Also, anyone who wants to review the first two seasons, here's a pretty good summary in 9 minutes:

A handful of minor mistakes, but pretty good for someone trying to catch up.

I don't see how we don't end up with a great deal more. I'm guessing part of the season is DT crossing the narrow sea, but I''m guessing she is going to want to break stuff when she gets there.

So last season we had Tywin go out of his way to embrace his son. He sends him to kings Landing to be the Hand. Many think he was the only reason they held onto the throne and even his Father has to admit that to a certian extent.
Now he is trash again? I know they have to go by the books and all of that and it's just setting up what looks like a great storyline down the road, but that seemed a bit off.

Not really...Tywin treats him OK when he needs something from him, but has always hated him and never forgiven him for his wife dying giving birth to him...I think that showed through last season.
