- WiC.net takes a look at: The finances of Game of Thrones
I've stood in some of the places where scenes were shot. It's perfect because it really does look like a castle right on the sea.

Are Myrcella and Tommen the Rickon of the Lannister family?

60-69 million for 10 episodes with limited CG and a massive cast.
That's like 4 John Carter's.

I love how Joffrey looks like he's about to cry.
And his face is pasted on a girl as well.
Probably worse, at least Rickon delivered one good line.

Whoa. And I was trying to keep my expectations low so as to not be disappointed.

Phoenix - can you spoiler tag the text, please? Thanks.

Ah my bad fellas. Figured the trailers have shown it already so it would be safe

Not a big deal at all. Thanks, though.
I was pretty excited to read about that episode because it sounds like they're really going for it.

It's premium cable, HBO wants you to subscribe.
Season 1 is up there. Are they just expecting me to subscribe via HBO and THEN purchase the episodes on iTunes later?
yes
I was worried that this battle would be underwhelming, but I can't help but get totally hyped after reading that article.

Waiting is always an option. With hbo go you don't really have to buy the episodes since you have access to them at all times.
Sounds promising. No doubt that some people will still be disappointed. Sounds amazing though.
Basically if you buy HBO only for Game of Thrones, discounting all the other shows and movies, you're spending about $4.50 an episode. 10 episodes, 3 months.

They expect you to subscribe if you want to see season 2 in the next 10-11 months (so they make $15/mo off you until you unsubscribe). Then they put out the DVDs / Blu-rays and put it up on iTunes.
I thought the iTunes season pass thing worked in parallel with the shows airing on cable.
It sounds good. The only question is [ACOK]
how much green fire, I think it is called wildfire, will they show?

HBO isn't normal cable.
i'm pretty sure that's how that works, but i'm not sure if HBO would allow a program like that.

iTunes or Zune season passes give you the episodes as they air for network and basic cable TV shows, but not for premium cable shows.
Premium cable means you pay for certain channels (like HBO) separately from the rest of your cable bill, which almost all completely goes to those channels, ex: like said HBO(s) - that's why there are no commercials. Putting it up on iTunes/Zune would undermine that revenue stream.
Man, cable must be really dying if kids don't know the difference between television tiers anymore.

Exactly, and it's well worth subscribing to. They have so much good stuff to watch.

I love how non-violent the fall is yet he's a bloody mess when they drag him away.
Use the old Hitchcock trick of implied action.
Fucking amateurs working on this show sometimes I tell ya.
Full series spoilers continue
Eh? She's shown she has the elements to become a great leader and going from having absolutely nothing at the end of book 1 to ruling a city after 3 is not possible if you're a poor leader. If anything, she HAS shown she has a lot of wit. If anything, her only bigger flaw is being too soft & forgiving towards the wrong people when she should've acted tough and not have taken any BS from anyone, but the events ADWD drove that out of her, I'm sure. And I don't understand why she gets so much shit for having a thing for Daario. Plenty of other characters in the book series have acted like giddy idiots when they've fallen in love with the wrong people, starting from fan favorites like Jon, Robb, Tyrion & Jaime, yet suddenly because it's a teen girl it's somehow much worse.
The only reason I can think it's taking so long is if they're trying to get both season 3 & 4 confirmed at the same time.
I guess he got pretty squished inside that can and he needed a second to start leaking out of it?
It looks ok in my opinion.

Agreed.
Series Spoilers:
Her having a thing for a clown like Daario was lame but it wasn't this huge thing never before done in the series by a long shot. The parts with Jon acting like a retard over Ygritte made me want to punch him in the face.

The armour will have kept all his bits in. If he fell like that without the armour you can guarantee his face would be smashed in (from the mace), and his arms or legs broken, the severe trauma from landing like that would be evident as well. But the armour keeps it all clean and inside. Till the blood pours out anyway.
Sorry, that was just my clumsy wording. HBO made it clear to me that no other territory would be showing the episodes before the US, either online or on air.
Dude, it looks like the Hound catches him clean in the face with a spiked Mace. Even through armor, that's gonna bloody him up. Hitting the ground was probably the least of his problems though I would imagine it certainly didn't help.
