Re: HBO's A Game of Thrones
No first 4 episodes leaked this time then?
No, they surprising were smart enough not to send out DVD screeners this time to the press for advance reviews.
Re: HBO's A Game of Thrones
It's leaked according to reddit, haven't seen it yet.
Have seen screen shots, prepare for more reader outrage.

Re: HBO's A Game of Thrones
The whole thing or just first ep?
Don't mean to offend cos I know you read the books but they need to get over themselves. They're too entirely different entities now, enjoy the show for what it is but if you're holding out for a mirrored story it's only going to dissappoint.
Re: HBO's A Game of Thrones
More than 1/2 the story-lines are from the books.
Season 1 was basically an adaption, 2/3 only minor changes.
Season 4 was mostly from the books, but with some bizarre changes (like Jon going to Crastor's keep), what Jamie/Tyrion say to each other after he helps him escape ect.
Season 5 was the first season with some major changes, despite doing the same plot arcs. Anyway we can talk about this after season 6 starts airing.
It was the first episode that leaked. It was supposedly on the HBO streaming service in Canada for an hour or so yesterday. Loads of people grabbed screen shots, it's not clear if anyone grabbed the full episode.
It's only a day to go anyway

Over here, normally, the episode's over as its 10.45 pm French time.
I don't subscribe to the channel that airs it.
It'll be a surprise.
Has it started in the USA already ?
Re: HBO's A Game of Thrones
In the UK it's simulcast with the US at around 2am meaning it should be around 3am Paris (CEST)

I guess there will be reviews sometime tomorrow...

WARNING RAMBLING RANT POST
Ignoring Jorah finding a small ring in the middle of a giant field that more than 20,000 horses just trampled over and the Dothraki dialogue that a 13 year old must have wrote.
Can anyone still justify the purpose of Dorne in the TV show? How Ellaria just attempted to gain revenge for Oberyn by killing Oberyn's family? How the sandsnakes casually killed the Dorne royal family they grew up with for no reason? That was worse than a "bad pussy" moment.
Notice how the solider Theon killed with a sword, by stabbing him... happened to have a shield over his back. I mean I'm sure they could reshot that. Oh and what happened to the dogs the Boltons had with them, did they do a runner mid-fight?
RE: The burning of the Meereness navy. In the books Danny/Meereen has no navy at all, but for some reason in a season 4 episode Daario randomly mentions capturing the Meerenese navy, probably because they assumed at that point they wouldn't follow the rest of the books storyline. So what does this mean? Major Book/Probable TV show spoiler
Oh and Re; Melisandre It's hinted at in the books in her chapter, it's probably the most likely thing they came up with on their own to happen in the book.
Re: HBO's A Game of Thrones
Agreed with all of that. The best moments were at castle black, Theon (yeah, how could they miss the shield?), and Cersei, whose plotline was hardly even shown. Spent way too much time in other areas that are pure filler but the show producers seem to love. Like Dorne. But overall, I liked the episode, but only for like 40% of it.
