    HBO probably made it available on their online service. I'm in no hurry to see it, so I'll wait and watch it properly on Sunday. :celt_2:

    It was 'leaked' intentionally.

    I bought the boxset for series 1 a few days ago due to the hype its getting. Im on episode 5 atm and loving it, i thought there would be more action in it though.

    There is much more action in the books. They completely gloss over one of the more important battles in GoT, which really * me off. They really need more than 10 episodes to flesh out the books.

    They phased the battle scenes out of the first season because it would've broke the budget of the show. We'll see some impressive battles in this season, though.

    Also, glad the direwolves are looking so good. Much better than last year.

    This show is unique. HBO hasn't done a fantasy show like this before. Quirks will need to be worked out to make it work.

    I'm not phazed about the battle scenes or even action sequences for that matter - by all means they are fine but it is the story, the intrigue and the characters that makes GoT work.

    Looking forward to Ep 2 tonight. :86:

    Bit more sexual action in the 2nd episode, at least...if that's the kind of thing people like. :86:

    Even a sexual scene that wasn't in the books between 2 main characters! :56:HBO don't care.

    If you won't show people fighting, might as well show people * :icon_mrgreen:

    I hope you're right about the battles for this season. After reading the books, I have a particularly important one stuck in my brain and I really hope HBO does it justice. I have heard that Martin is involved with that episode so it gives me hope.

    It was hinted at though, same as in the first series, there was never a full on gay * gobbling scene in the books.

    Guess a tv show with so much to do in such a relatively small number of episodes has to throw subtlety out the window now and then.

    Aye, but later on, and it concerned the plot. Also, it forwarded Melisandre's character. Not sure whether it came across that well in the episode, but oh well.

    She does have a decent rack. :56:
