Game of Thrones

Couple of things upon re-watch:

Although I initially thought Sam/Aemon's scene was boring, I did get a little sad for Aemon seeing the smile on his face as he talked about the woman he once loved.

The music that is basically the Thenn's/other wildling's "theme" is awesome.

Sad it's over in a day or so but it's also probably the most I can recall looking forward to a TV episode.

[SD]

This is the most hyped hour of television in the history of tv shows...at least on par with the lost finale.

[Eagles_Legendz]

BB finale had more hype I'd guess.  I loved BB but I like GoT more.

Tip - I saw the previously on GoT segment.  Mute it or start watching during the credits IMO.  They've gotten super heavy handed and this one I think is borderline spoilery for non-readers.

[Munson]

shtein, really? I've enjoyed using the previously on to get a look at who or what we might see in the episode.

[Eagles_Legendz]

It's not earth shattering but I'd avoid it personally.

One other thing.   I listen to greenwald and Ryan's podcast on grantland and enjoy it + also really like his recaps.  That being said, people saying they enjoy GoT but have no desire to rewatch it (they've both said that) like they would with BB are short changing it.  Especially for non-readers, if you really like the show I think you're amazed at all the things hinted at in past seasons that you'd never pick up the first time through.  Definitely worth a rewatch before S5 IMO.

[Munson]

Definitely. I re-watched most of Season 1 this past fall and there's so many moments that you're just like "oh...shtein"...and I'm looking forward to doing that again now that we know Littlefinger was behind the Stark/Lannister tensions the whole time.

Haven't had a chance to re-watch Season 2 or 3 yet, minus one or two episodes here and there when they were replayed by HBO, but I def wanna go back and do that this summer/fall.

Edit-I should add that I've seen virutally every episode multiple times, but I haven't sat down and watched Season 2 since before Season 3 aired, and I saw each episode of Season 3 a few times, but only caught a few of them in the weeks leading up to Season 4 when HBO started playing them again.

Thank god for that edit, you're right, you really did need to divulge that vital information about your GoT viewing habits.

[Munson]

Yeah, but you read it. Now I just feel bad for you.

[Eagles_Legendz]

I am ready.  Let's hope it delivers.

[Munson]

I am ready to probably shtein my pants and/or stating once again "I hate this farging show"...a good hate, of course.

BOOM


that just happened.
