Does anyone know if the ps4 app of hbogo will be updated with thrones at 9? The app is kind of bare-bones and I am worried it won't be up until later so I will have to watch on my laptop.

Ok, with HBO GO, does it show up the same time as the channel or is there a slight wait? Never done this before, going to watch this season with this app. And yes, its connected to a cable sub.

Everyone always forgets Loras Tyrell. Even we've only ever seen him fight one on one once, where he lost to brienne, but he was considered the 2nd best swordsman in westeros after Jaime. He has also beaten the mountain and Jaime in jousting tourneys.
There was also oberyn who would have beat the mountain had he not needed his damn confession.
https://order.hbonow.com/ is the standalone service that doesn't use a cable subscription of any kind. And you can watch it on a computer.
Same time, sometimes even a few minutes early.
I'm rewatching Battle of the Bastards and can't remember a few details:
1) Why didn't Sansa tell Jon about her plan to get the Vale to help them? Because she was worried they might not show up at all?
2) Why did the Vale want to help them at all? I forgot how Sansa made the case to them to show up
3) Did Jon think that a pitched battle gave his side a better chance of winning than some sort of sneakier strategy?
Also a side note: I remember reading that in real medieval times friendly fire was a huge cause of death. But in a fictional story like Game of Thrones, how the hell does Jon know who to attack and who not to when he's in the thick of the shit? And then when the Vale shows up, how the hell do they even try to avoid friendly fire? Seems impossible and everyone seems to be the exact same.

Loras was good in tournaments, but I don't know if that's the same type of fighting skills needed in actual battles.

Thanks! Will keep refreshing the app before it starts.
Yes. If you're on the main page when 6PM rolls around, you may need to refresh the home page by browsing away from it first.
Fucking lol
They should end the show like The Holy Grail. It would be amazing after 8 years to end with this: https://youtu.be/qRxwBb7ev1Y?t=1m32s

Probably 2. Only 7 episodes this year.

On second thought, wouldn't surprise me if they skip a week or two to get a third month out of people who only sub to HBO for GoT

Beat EviLore at pool.
Should be fine it tends to go up a minute before or after. Might crash since it is a big premiere. Few years ago it crashed during the finale that fucking sucked.

Baelush showed up in a previous episode and said he has his army ready to help her. Ad he declined the offer because he's a snake and can't be trusted.
Baelish wants control of the North and westeros for that matter. He want to help sansa becuase she's the key to controlling the North.
The plan was to let Ramsey act first becuase they had a smaller army. They needed to let Ramsey rush so the archers can even the odds. However Ramsay puts Jon on tilt becuase he sends rickon running on the battlefield getting Jon to act first.
Thanks just signed up for the trial on hbo now. So I should be able to now view on that website?

Oh no. Don't tell me this now. lol
Don't have a cable box in this room. Oh well. If it does I'll be mad, and just watch it on demand after.

Aren't the Martell's effectively done too? However, Dorne allowing women to be heirs without favouring males, I guess Ellaria could simply legitimise all the Sand Snakes. I what's legitimising your coup and making your kids legal heirs, in the face of regicide and the slaughter of your family?

Maybe it depends on the device?
I'm using an Amazon Fire stick, all the video played on this is smooth as butter.

Watching in hbo now app on ps4. Please don't break...please don't break
Standard practice feudalism. Good times
Also, yeah, that's why I didn't include them.
It's more that it gets hammered at 9 pm when GoT goes live.
Yes. Sometimes it's available a few minutes early for Go/Now.

I see. Well, maybe it will die down after the premiere for future episodes.

Beat EviLore at pool.
Yes but keep aware that it is the first episode so everyone is trying to watch at once. It might crash.
The past few years it does. First and Last episodes are always the problem.

It was one finale not sure if it was last years or the year before I had a huge problem. It kept crashing and it wouldn't loud.

HBO Now - standalone HBO streaming. Like Netflix. Not tied to any other services. You bring your own internet connection, that's it.
HBO Go - another streaming option, but requires you to have a subscription to HBO through another service, like Comcast Xfinity, FIOS TV, Cox, Charter, Direct TV, etc..., etc...

Ugh Dorne
Also note that their is literally zero difference between the two in terms of content and UI.

How does HBO Now hold up on opening day? I fear that it will crash or buffer and ruin the experience
Just subscribe to HBO Now, it's only $15/month.
Premiere days are why I am glad to have live HBO and not worry about crashes.
