I don't torrent or watch the show, because remaining a pure book reader makes me superior to you filthy show watchers.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

Are the quality of the four leaked episodes worth watching them instead of waiting for the 720p version to come out?

It's been described as DVD quality. It looked OK I think.

Don't get why people hate on the quality. It's good. 480p will not make your eyes fall out.

I hate the 1080 high bitrate circlejerk sometimes. I mean, yes, its better. Yes, i'd prefer it. No, it is not the end of the world if its not available.
I swear I'm trying my best

it's not a circlejerk? It's "this quality is objectively better than that quality so we prefer it"

It's not HD at the least. My roommate looked at it and turned it off and said he'd rather wait for the higher rez versions to air

it's not, it's Tormund

idk that would be a weird swap? i think it's more likely that
Tormund will just fill the role Mance was going to fill

we didn't see any signs of a glamor

Have you read the books?
Spoiler: all books
I assume they're just sort of combining characters. He may ACTUALLY be the kindly man in the books, but we really just need a friendly character to act in that position, and I think it's easier for the show watchers to have a face they know(even though that's REALLY bad wording with regards to the House of Black and White)


Anyway, I loved that episode. Dorne and Braavos are two of my favorite settings, and they're really doing them justice in the show. Plus I really like a lot of the directions the different storylines are taking.

This episode specifically is just reinforcing my plan of treating the show as a completely separate canon from the books at this point.

I quite enjoyed this episode and found the book departures to be generally enjoyable

Spoiler: BOOK STUFF
particularly the brienne/sansa stuff - it's really interesting to put those two storylines together

Can you guys keep the book stuff to a minimum? There's another thread for that, this is the show thread. I feel like anyone who doesn't read the books (me) just feels cut out from the conversation
