Game of Thrones, tv only, books don't exist, no backstory...NERDS already ruining a series that hasn't started (2 Viewers)

I was only going to go back if the ones I watched blew me away. They didn't. I'm ok catching it when I can from here.
Do you disagree with my point that the first few episodes have just as much "confusion" a new viewer jumping in now would have? Is the best way to do it read some books then jump in the beginning of the show? I don't have time for that. When I character last season intrigued me enough I wiki'd them though. Still too many me to remember after a year of forgetting about the show.
Anywho, don't want to derail... I'll try to bring it back on topic....
Snow has to get disciplined for that, no? Maybe he becomes the leader of that army and leads them like he wanted the burnt dude to do.

I've never read any of the books. The best thing IMO is just watch the show from the start. I can imagine the show never wowed you as much if you just jumped in this late. There are so many relationships and moments that define the characters that will be lost on you. I definitely do not agree that there is much confusion for a viewer watching the show from the beginning. I've never had any trouble figuring out what is happening beyond the few intended mysteries that all shows have. Crazy to think you are watching this show and have never even seen some of the best characters like King Robert, Kahl Drogo or Ned Stark.

I'm guessing it's the hand maiden that she ends up having killed. That was the whole "it's not slander if it's true" conversion the imp and Cersei have back in season 3.
She makes a point to say "you don't have to fear my father".

I expected so much more out of Dinklage tonight but he came up short.

Regarding that scene, the witch said Cersei would have 3 children. Didn't she have 2 boys? Or am I forgetting someone?

Has Baelish taken Sansa's maidenhood or did I just completely misread the clues in Season 4's finale?

I don't think that's a spoiler?
Anyway, I don't know for sure but I can only assume that is the case.

The daughter. And she also said he would have 20 kids and those 3 don't count. So, who are the 20.......

All of Robert's kids/bastards got rounded up and slaughtered maybe last season or the season before. All of them except Gentry.

It was either season 1 or 2 when the executive order went out to kill Robert's bastards all over kings landing so Joffrey wouldn't have any worries about claiming the throne. The one ******* got away and as far as I remember is still floating around somewhere.

I remember that. I guess the question is was that really all 19 of them then? I don't care either way, but if they want a mcguffin somewhere in the future we might see another one pop up when necessary.
Unless we already know one of them and his identity has been hidden from the world. He already knows nothing anyway.

Why would you even want to skip it?
I watched season one a full year before binge watching seasons 2-4. I needed to research season one to tie everything go together.

Just started following the thread and read that and thought to myself...i may have to go re-watch the 1st few seasons. I don't remember a Tyrone.still giggling at the Tyrone autocorrect

I was thinking about this yesterday. If someone decided they wanted to start watching the show and wanted all the back story that led up to the start of the show...
It would probably take me a good 30 minutes to explain all the main characters, draw maps of westeros, explain Robert's rebellion etc. The fact that someone thinks they can skip all that plus 40 hours of content and just jump right in is absurd

Yesterday was the finale!?My gf only watched the last season of breaking bad and loved it. Holds up on it's own.
Aren't there like 20 more seasons of this? I get the premise. People rise and people fall. These kinds and queens will be slaughtered just like the ones in the first seasons. No reason not to just jump right in.

When someone looked importnat last season I wiki'd them a little. And a friend made me watch some key clips like the all the chickens thing and the dragon lady takeover. She's my favorite.

Well, in fairness to Sebowski, they can do it and it could still be enjoyable. But just far less so. Most of the excitement/intrigue in this series comes from people's behaviors within a specific political and historical context. There isn't nearly as much "action" in every episode as, say, Breaking Bad.

Watching Game of Thrones again has made me think how poor the writing and acting has gotten in Vikings

"Vikings" was pretty cheesy right off the bat. I think I gave it 2 episodes and then gave up.

I was wondering how he pooped in that box? It was explained that he pooped through the holes.?????

I think its fine jumping in wherever and watching as much or as little as you want, but why not start from the beginning? If you like the show, why not watch all of it and get as much of the story as you can? The first 4 seasons are all available on HBO Go, right?When someone looked importnat last season I wiki'd them a little.

I've watched this show from the beginning. Love it.
But I am one of the people who started Breaking Bad at season 3. I found some great YouTube "BB Season 1 in 10 minutes" compilations that gave me the info I needed. I'm just not the type to be able to binge watch 20+ hours of a show to catch up.
Hving said that, missing season 1 and 2 of this show are a shame. Great stuff in there. But maybe find a YouTube summary of the seasons so far and you'll be caught up enough and in 1/100th the time.

IDK, but I was wondering if there was a shortage of red hair dye on set...Both Sansa and the Red Queen were looking a little dark. Between that and Ygritte dying, I miss the gingers.

In the books they go into great detail about his pooping procedure. You guys should read them.
