Balefuego

I want to make out with whoever designed those credits, for serious

Nirya

I have this on the DVR, waiting to watch it.

Also I want to bang that first girl. Just sayin.

Yesss. That title sequence is fucking beautiful.

On reflection, I think I'm more excited about it than anything else from the pilot because it's entirely new to someone who's read the books as many times as I have.

I mean, the show was great but that title sequence is so wonderful that I can't stop gushing about it.

EDIT: Music's nice too!

Balefuego

Someone mentioned it in the last thread, I think it was KalTorak?

The rings around the sun in the opening credits depict the history of Westeros. The first ring shows a dragon breathing fire over the continent. The 2nd ring shows the same dragon wrestling with a stag, a lion, and a wolf. And then the 3rd ring shows the stag triumphant with the wolf and lion to either side of it.


As if that shit wasn't already badass enough

Grey Ghost

The fact that the opening credits will be different for each episode gives me the weirdest boner

yes, yes this

I realized that this would be the case when I saw the opening credits for the first episode

and I was just "holy shit that is AWESOME"

Grey Ghost

Viv why do I feel like I haven't seen you post in forever and a damn day

cabsy

so this is making me want to re-read the series

however I know I will also want to re-read them before DwD comes out

oh god what do

Nechriah

So which locations are people most excited about seeing pop up in that wonderful clockwork-y style?

I'm looking forward to Dragonstone and Harrenhal myself. It'll be nice to get an idea of the size of the latter compared to every other castle.

The Eyrie, because mountaintop fortresses are sweet, and Braavos for the Titan.

Lord Dave

Can I rent the DVDs yet?

Metzger Meister

Because Cheyenne Sucks
I don't have it because I am not going to pay $50 a month just to see something I am going to buy when it comes out in DVD or whatever

Metzger Meister

man cheyenne sucking has nothing to do with me not having hbo.

Dox the PI

So, estimates on the tits per minute for episode 2?

Grey Ghost

Five

Five tpm

Goatmon

Wait, is Boromir in this?

Metzger Meister

what was the TPM index number for the first show?

Spoiler:

yes i just made that up.

edit: me and grey ghost are collaborating on a scientific system of measurements for TPM in any given media.

Yep

Prohass

So I just watched this expecting a round the clock tit fest. Ive seen shows way worse, the amount of nudity was pretty standard. I mean the hanging tits in the wedding scene is no different from a strip bar in the Sopranos and the nudity and sex less than in Boardwalk Empire.

Also I love the "Dothraki are just miscellaneous brown people! I mean what race are they??!? how racist HBO!" - Um, they are a desert/nomadic warrior tribe, consisting of other conquered tribes from other regions, not to mention the guards were from Pentos and not part of the Dothraki horde. Also Westeros is full of miscellaneous white people, outrageous.

Someone also mentioned that it didnt appear that there were many at the wedding, the opening shot shows hundreds, if not thousands, this isnt a movie people, they cant spend 1 million+ on each effects shot.

Lost Salient

Where is the odd tit coming from?

Also I guess since this is happening, I should... finish the books or something, finally.

Metzger Meister

well, obviously the American Standard Titties Over Time Measurement System, or TOTeMS, is not based on the actual numerical value of quantity of titties, but rather is a number determined by averaging the quality, quantity, frequency, and percentage of titties shown.

Goatmon

Damn those are some slick opening credits.

Nirya

I just finished the first episode. I've never read the books, but I have the strangest feeling that I will be buying them within a few days.

TheLawinator

First episode was really awesome, can't wait for the second.

Legba

I feel this should be in the new thread also:

Solar

So i am halfway into episode 1

Damn Tyrion has the best first appearance ever

Also Tyrion and Jaime's joking relationship is pretty cool just from that one scene. Tru bros.

TheLawinator

The dire wolf puppies were so cute.

Dox the PI

Turambar

Their cuteness is very dire.

Olivaw

I really like the opening to this, with the gears and the music and all

Very nicely produced

Avicus

Reading the website, it says that Robert is the eldest in his family. I thought that that the whole point of the entire Stannis story is that Robert is the middle child and thus should serve his brother.

Robcham

I quite enjoyed this

I was not expecting that much fucking and cursing in a fantasy based series

I am quite intrigued

No, no.

Spoiler:

As far as I understand it, Robert is the eldest, and the youngest brother is... uh... Renly, I think.

The gay one.

Stannis was the middle child, which explains a fucking lot.

Actually those guards, with the spiked helmets, were Unsullied slaves from Astapor.

KalTorak

Just realized that the glowing thing with the rings around it in the title sequence is the sun over the clockwork land.

Goddamnit I love this show.
