HBO’s Game of Thrones inched upward in the ratings for the second week in a row.
The 9 p.m. airing was seen by 2.5 million viewers, up slightly from last week’s 2.4 million. This is yet another positive sign for the fantasy series, climbing in the numbers despite the show’s story pace lessening a bit the previous week. The show’s action kicks into high gear starting on Sunday’s fifth episode, which could result in Thrones gaining even more traction in the weeks to come, just like True Blood its first year.
And in the UK, the numbers have risen as well. Digital Spy reports that this week’s episode was watched by 628k viewers, which is up 23% from last week.
I generally don't care much for this genre but this one is good Really good.
ReplyDeleteIt really is the least "fantasy" fantasy series I ever read or seen on TV. No less epic, but so grounded in gritty reality.
ReplyDeleteOMG! That Arya pic is simply perfect!!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha... thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's actually 3 pictures i merged in a collage. 2 of Arya from house Stark Promo video (the head shot ends just below her shoulders if you look closely) and then I added the title to it.
That is very well done. Maybe HBO should make a high-res version for a promo pic. *Saves*.
ReplyDeleteYou made this pic yourself? You're a freak... Well, you know, in a positive kind of way.
ReplyDeleteI have the originals without text if you like.. the bmp capture is 8.5mb and (1599x1907) and I have a 549kb jpg too... if you want the higher res version lemme know.. Text or without.
ReplyDeletehaha thanks.. I think.. Last night I started from scratch building a group shot collage for the DVD art I am making. Arya's was one of the pics i made up. One of Catelyn too, but it is not as "fun".
ReplyDeleteStill need to finish the overall collage.. I can't be happy with the finished product. I think I am on my 10th version or so ... ha!
Really? Wow, you did it so good!!! :D
ReplyDeleteoh! I want it!!! :D I saved this but a big one would be great!!
ReplyDeleteWith or without the ti;e text?
ReplyDeletemmmmm with it? LOL yeah, with it! I think it's better with the title!
ReplyDeleteI'd love the high-res version without text if you don't mind.
ReplyDeleteHere's Arya and the Catelyn one I did too just in case...I had to do the jpg files since there is 2.1mb size limit on here I guess.
ReplyDeleteCatelyn's one is great too!! although I hate her character! XDD Thanks a lot!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteI play with pics for fun so when others want them it's never an issue... No prob.
Ooops I missed you post sorry! Here's the pic....
ReplyDeleteNo problem lol. Thanks much.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad there's room for a show as complex and sophisticated as Game of Thrones on the same network as Entourage. It's reassuring.
ReplyDeleteHBO is really pushing their new online streaming service HBO Go, which is available only to HBO subscribers. We have already noted that they have added
ReplyDeletea bunch of cool special features
for
Game of Thrones
episodes. And now HBO has announced that they will stream episode seven of
Thrones
on HBO Go a week before it airs. The Hollywood Reporter has
the story
:
The executive [HBO co-president Eric Kessler] on Tuesday also said that HBO Go will exclusively make available the following week’s episode of new HBO hit Game of Thrones right after the May 22 episode, which ends with a cliffhanger that Kessler said will entice fans to immediately see what happens next. The move is part of a plan to offer exclusive content windows on HBO Go to “encourage registration” of users for the service, he said.
Gaining momentum. I like :) Not that I was worried, but it's always nice to hear that the shows you love are successful.
