And in case anyone missed it, the last two episodes of season 4 will be screening in IMAX theaters starting next week (the Battle of Castle Black and the aftermath episode; you'll only see Oberyn's face smash on a giganto screen if they show a "previously on"). It'll also include the first real trailer for season 5.

And for the curious, the OP's been updated with a bunch of casting info for season 5.

I honestly wish Australia was getting this, the Battle for the Wall in IMAX sounds like it would own. Though, for such prices they should be showing the whole first ep of S5. :v:

Also, thanks to whoever it was that mentioned A Ball of Beasts. I'm two-thirds of the way through now and thoroughly enjoying it, though I do get the criticism about it seeming to be like 2000 pages of table-setting. But I love it - the only problem is that whenever Ser Boros Blount is mentioned my brain starts screaming "SER DOCTOR PRINCIPAL BOROS".

Excellent, thanks.

Also, as the comments note, this trailer basically confirms that a 'leaked script summary' from a while ago is actually genuine. So people may want to watch out.

A portly feline wizard waddles forth, muttering something about conjured food.

HBO and Comcast finally fixed their OnDemand poo poo, so I watched all four seasons... over two days. That's not a good idea, kids.

Anyway, pretty great show. I really like all of the powerful female characters. I cried when Ygritte died. :cry:

It's also down to that price at Best Buy, where you can get the exclusive slip covers.

Don't be surprised if it drops even further to $30, which it did the last couple of years.

I'm thinking of going against the grain and doing Tyrell over Martell. They kinda came out on top in season 4, and I'm banking on the Martell cover being available again for season 5, given the show will be heading to Dorne. :shobon:

Really hope it'll be available again for season 5. But more likely it'll be "Hey, let's do the Stark cover again, everything's really been working out for those guys." :haw:


On the plus side, that back order didn't take long at all!



If anyone missed out on ordering these from Best Buy's website... they've been sold out since Tuesday. No idea if they'll be getting more in, since these are intended to be limited releases.


Edit - For those of you keeping tabs at home:

-Season 1's covers were between Stark and Targaryan. The Stark sigil spills over onto the spine, just for all you :spergin: people out there.

-Season 2 was between Lannister and Greyjoy. The Greyjoy sigil is totally boss, too bad they suck so hard in the show. I think some PAL regions also had the Baratheon stag sigil, but I'm not sure if that was canceled or not. Not gonna hold my breath on that coming back for a future season.

-Season 3 had fans choosing the covers in an online poll, and they chose... unwisely. It ended up being Stark, Lannister and Targaryan again, so I guess it's cool you can pick up that one cover you missed out on previously. But we really should've gotten this:


I want my Stannis cover, HBO and Best Buy. :colbert:

-Season 4 as previously shown, is Tyrell and Martell for online-only purchases, with Stark, Lannister and Targaryan AGAIN at the brick and mortar stores.

If you're referring to my photo, no, that's seasons 1-4. Best Buy has been offering these exclusive limited slip covers with every release from the very beginning, with each season having a different assortment of choices to pick from. Some, like the Stark, Lannister and Targaryan covers, have been offered for several different seasons. Others like Greyjoy, Tyrell, and Martell have only been available for one specific season.

Well it looks like I may be shelling out $15 a month for the new HBO streaming service. I managed to avoid spoilers about about S1 - 3 but had two of the major deaths of S4 spoiled. Time to start watching the show as it premiers instead of waiting a year for the season disc set to be released.
