Game of Thrones

[SD]

First 4 episodes are available on a hack site. I'd rather wait

Apparently zesty quality + if you watch now it's a month long wait until the next new one.  Rather it a week at a time.

About a half hour left. Wondering what storylines we're definitely going to get this week. Tyrion and Dany seem like a must. Probably Jon/Stannis at the wall as well, and Jaime/Cersei/Kings Landing. Not sure if we'll see the Boltons, Littlefinger/Sansa, Martell's/Dorne or Arya this week. Maybe a little bit of Arya on the boat, but doubt she lands in Braavos yet.

All fantasy settings are in Fake England with nearby tundras, deserts, jungles, and sometimes a Fake China where everyone also speaks with a Fake English accent.

That hour went way too quick

I've only seen a few of the first season episodes, but I recall Scottish accents.  Am I mistaken?

I only hear West Baltimore accents

North of Dorne, I think all the accents are supposed to be basically mapped onto England. So in the north, they are supposed to talk like Yorkshire (which native Sean Bean achieves, but basically no one else in his family does). In Kings Landing, it's Received Pronunciation for all the nobles.

The actors vary in their success at achieving this. Even though most of the actors are British, many of them are supposed to be using non-native accents. Some don't particularly try. And of course Tyrion sounds like an American doing a particularly weird and bad English accent (yet it somehow works).

the people from the iron bank sound like new york jewish folk.

zesty quality?

I'm staying patient

[Eagles_Legendz]

nah the quality was pretty good...not as good as it'll be on TV obviously but it was solid.  I won't say anything about what I watched other than they are seriously diverging from the books & that each episode is better than the last (2 is more of a table setter still like the premiere whereas 4 is really good).
