Glorious 1080p HD for those that want it. It may take a few minutes to process the higher resolutions since I just uploaded it, but give it a few minutes and 1080p will be available.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj0OHLeynXo&feature=youtu.be
No! He has that smug arrogant look of the Lannisters and even if not for the hatred he deserves from the books, that look alone is worth a slap or five!
Perfect timing. I finally finished the first book several hours ago. It's so exciting not to know what's going to happen! If anybody spoils it for me, I'll turn you into a eunuch!
Also, I watched the episode one on Blu-ray (HBO Sampler disc) several weeks ago and can't wait to watch Season 1 again. March 6, where are you?
I will try not to spoiler you - EVER! While I like Vays, I don't want to be Varys! XD
So how was the reading the book after the series for you? Think you will continue that for at least the next season or 2, or now that you've read Book I want to move onto more? I'm not sure what I would have done if I had the coice....
I watched the series again around Christmas when xFinity/ HBO put the first season onDemand again. I am trying to wait until my BD discs arrive in March, but I swear it's hard now with all the new promo material coming out!
I posted 2 score screencaps in the SpoilerTV PHoto ARchive here: http://spoilertv.co.uk/images/game-of-thrones/season-2/Misc/Shadow%20Trailer%20Screencaps/
Included are some shots you may not have noticed of Brienne, Melisandre, Xaro Xhoan Daxos , Maester Cressen and Margery Tyrell! Most are nice and clear, but Brienne and the 2 birth pics of Melisandre are very blurry... sorry.
I enjoyed the experience of reading the book afterwards. Obviously there are many things that the book does better than the show because of the time constraints a show faces, but the show does such an amazing job with key scenes (pivotal Baelor scene for example).
I think I will follow this for the second season - read the book after the season is done. But after that I'll just move on to the next book b/c I think you pointed out it gets complicated with things like having 2 seasons for one book?
As for the BDs, god I can't wait. Episode 1 looks and sounds fantastic. Just the opening scene of raising the gate rocked my living room. I can't decide if I want to keep my pre-order on Amazon of the regular version, or get the Best Buy Exclusive version with the Stark cover, or get both! (probably not the last one as that would cost $90+ lol)
I already bought 2 sets of the BD discs... I wanna buy 2 or 3 more, but I cannot rationalize it! Not yet.....
One was for relatives though so I will jsut steal the bonus disc as a finder's fee and place it in my set! XD
The covers though! I want the Stark cover badly... and frankly the Targaryen cover doe snot suck either! I considered ordering through the UK to get the limited edition picture book at Play.com too, but in the end 1 set for me and 1 for relatives was enough even with good discounts!
Well at least you bought one for relatives. I just want two different covers for myself! lol (Targaryen cover is nice, but Stark looks so much cooler). I'm still going to go and pick up the pre-order bonus key chain from BB even if I don't get the BB exclusive.
Yeah, I considered getting the UK import but only if it was cheaper. Which bonus disc are you talking about by the way? Is Best Buy going to have a bonus disc as well as exclusive covers?
I got the HBO set and Amazon UK. THE Amazon UK has an exclusive bonus disc "creating the visuals" and HBO had an exclusive "creating the World of Westeros".
MY uncle has a region free player so I planned on giving the UK version to him and keeping HBO's and his UK bonus disc for myself! XD
I may just copy his disc and re-encode from PAL to NTSC so it plays nice with my US made BD player....
What a fantanist promo. If you have read the books, we will recongise some new facing that we will see this season, and some event ( thou nothing for advance). WOW fanally seen Melisandre, Davos did we see Stannis?
This was really an intriguing Teaser with most characters we could hope for. Even only listening to it gives me goosebumps. If anyone is interested, the music is from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa6vvYOq-gE&feature=youtu.be . The part which was used in the trailer is about 4:40 min in. :)
Two things just happened to me right now! I stopped breathing ... and i got goosebumps all over!!! AAAAAAAHHH sorry ... even though i'm an adult, i behave like a hyper child! but this is GoT after all! So is April 1st a confirmed date?! cos then we just have abt 60 days to go?!
Oh brilliant....thanks! 1080 is def something else! and i need to stop reading the comments and start reading the books, i thought i'd be done by now...but of course the stupid job takes up all my time! :(
Thanks for the caps, just something I noticed in your caption though I honestly don't think this (http://spoilertv.co.uk/images/game-of-thrones/season-2/Misc/Shadow%20Trailer%20Screencaps/Melisandre_2.jpg.php) is Melisandre.
I think it's the whore from the brothel that fathered Roberts baby, the one Ned went to see... ;)
April 1 in the US, April 2 in the UK and most of Central Europe.
There's apage with international air dates here: http://www.spoilertv.com/2012/01/game-of-thrones-international-premiere.html
It does not list everything, but I think for most internet savvy people if the show airs in the US April 1... then it will be watched on April 1 even if it does not air in their country. XD
My first thought was that looks liek Gold Cloaks and King's Landing. Some one on Winter-is-Coming said it was Melisandre so I went with it because I cannot really tell who it is.
You could be right though. That would fit my King's Landing theory too....
Both bonus discs are barely worth influencing your choice honestly. If I recall the Amazon one is 5 minutes long and the HBO one is 12 minutes long. Maybe I reversed them, but the point is for a "Bonus Disc" they are very short! XD
Someone on another site posted a comment from an extra on set and they said they stripped Sansa in that scene... I actually expected the scene to be a bit worse honestly. However, I was a bit shocked when I first read how the scene went down though.
I guess in a series based on Adult Fantasy that contains children, the actors portraying those roles will have to do some very adult parts or the series will lose some of the drama and intensity in the books.
Two things: 1) Why is this trailer better than the complete TV production from the past year (GoT season 1 not included, of course)? 2) When is season 3 airing?
Exactly, it will be difficult to find the right balance of staying through to the book. Of course they've already upped the age of the Stark children, but for some scenes like this one it would still be near impossible to portray what GRRM penned.
I was also curious how they'd pull this scene off, but I'm happy with what I saw in this little piece. I think they managed to make it look horrible, dramatic and yes, disturbing (it should be!) without making it tasteless or being accused of child pornography.
I'm really curious to see Sophie's acting this season, she has a lot of pretty grown-up, dramatic material to deal with, so much more challenging than what she had to do last season.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
I can't take all the teasing, I need it to be winter right NOW
ReplyDeleteYAY! I see they're not going to pull any punches in what Joffrey does to Sansa. I'm a little surprised at that.
ReplyDeleteI love the quote about the sell sword, straight from the book, I can't wait for this season, it's gonna be purely awesome television
ReplyDeleteGlorious 1080p HD for those that want it.
ReplyDeleteIt may take a few minutes to process the higher resolutions since I just uploaded it, but give it a few minutes and 1080p will be available.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj0OHLeynXo&feature=youtu.be
Yeah I thought because the actress was younger they'd hold back but it doesn't seem like it
ReplyDeleteI also liked the "long shadow" comment since it was left out of Season 1when we met Tyrion.
ReplyDeleteWow that is awesome!
ReplyDeleteFrom the music, to the new scenes, to the quote from Varys, to Daenerys showing she is the Mother of Dragons and should be FEARED!
Even more awesome on the tenth viewing! XD
wow...hbo knows how to do movie like trailers for its shows.....is it april yet?
ReplyDeleteBoom boom splash! Mind exploded! This was awesome, especially Varys and Tyrion!
ReplyDeleteMandrake Brain Soup....
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that compete with Hot Weasel Soup, but it's close! XD
hehe lol! Is it weird that I want to slap Joffrey when I only saw him for two seconds?
ReplyDeleteNo!
ReplyDeleteHe has that smug arrogant look of the Lannisters and even if not for the hatred he deserves from the books, that look alone is worth a slap or five!
*nods* I was also expecting a much more moderated version of that scene...
ReplyDeleteLove it! Though interesting they seem to have included footage until (what I'm assuming at least) will be episode 4...
ReplyDeleteParece que a segunda temporada vai ser melhor q a primeira! Assim espero, pq
ReplyDeletea primeira deixou muita a desejar em relação aos livros.
TOtally noticed that myself and a beautiful detailed addition indeed!!!
ReplyDeletePerfect timing. I finally finished the first book several hours ago. It's so exciting not to know what's going to happen! If anybody spoils it for me, I'll turn you into a eunuch!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I watched the episode one on Blu-ray (HBO Sampler disc) several weeks ago and can't wait to watch Season 1 again. March 6, where are you?

Thanks for the caps, as much as he is a little shit Joffrey looks somewhat badass!
ReplyDeleteWell at least you bought one for relatives. I just want two different covers for myself! lol (Targaryen cover is nice, but Stark looks so much cooler). I'm still going to go and pick up the pre-order bonus key chain from BB even if I don't get the BB exclusive.

OFF WITH HIS HEAD!
ReplyDeleteNah, just kidding!
It was a great adaptation, I am really happy how it was translated into a TV series.
ReplyDeleteOh hell yeah! Bring it on. Looks great, Even though I know what happens :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great, can't wait for season 2.
ReplyDeleteThat gave me goosebumps!
ReplyDeleteGreat screencaps, thanks for doing them.
ReplyDeleteThe actor who play Joffrey is great, he totally imbodies Joffrey with even saying a word.
ReplyDeleteThe first season was so faithful to the books, that I just assumed that they would not alter what happens between Joffrey and Sansa.
ReplyDeleteYes! And I used to think that Tom Felton as Malfoy was hateworthy! Little did I know!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantanist promo. If you have read the books, we will recongise some new facing that we will see this season, and some event ( thou nothing for advance). WOW fanally seen Melisandre, Davos did we see Stannis?
ReplyDeleteMalfoy nearly loveable comparded to Joffrey!
ReplyDeleteCan't the winter come faster ^^. The waiting is killing me
ReplyDeleteAh! I didn't even know there was a bonus disc in the US. More choices...
ReplyDeleteOMG I'm tingling, epic trailer :DDD I've just started a S1 rewatch (again XD), it just gets better every time!
ReplyDeleteYeah, of course they have to tone it down from the book but it looks like they won't make it too "easy-watchable".
ReplyDeleteMaybe this season we will see him do flip-flops or jump from a tower. :D
ReplyDeleteOnly slap??
ReplyDeleteMine when to torture or worse. lol #hewillgethispenalty :))
Yeah, we did see Stannis right at the beginning of the teaser: http://www.westeros.org/GoT/Graphics/Gallery/Previews/GameOfThrones_S2Preview_02.jpg
ReplyDeleteBefore they started airing all the teasers, I wasn't a fan of Stannis, but now. :)
Okay that bit I can live without....
ReplyDeleteThis was really an intriguing Teaser with most characters we could hope for.
ReplyDeleteEven only listening to it gives me goosebumps. If anyone is interested, the music is from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa6vvYOq-gE&feature=youtu.be . The part which was used in the trailer is about 4:40 min in. :)
a winter is coming
ReplyDeleteI think Sansa/Joff/Sandor scenes are the ones I'm looking forward the most.
ReplyDeleteTwo things just happened to me right now! I stopped breathing ... and i got goosebumps all over!!!
ReplyDeleteAAAAAAAHHH sorry ... even though i'm an adult, i behave like a hyper child! but this is GoT after all! So is April 1st a confirmed date?! cos then we just have abt 60 days to go?!
Oh brilliant....thanks! 1080 is def something else!
ReplyDeleteand i need to stop reading the comments and start reading the books, i thought i'd be done by now...but of course the stupid job takes up all my time! :(
Thought that was him, but was not sure, Look the part alright, plus I love his voice in the other promo
ReplyDeleteThanks for the caps, just something I noticed in your caption though
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't think this (http://spoilertv.co.uk/images/game-of-thrones/season-2/Misc/Shadow%20Trailer%20Screencaps/Melisandre_2.jpg.php) is Melisandre.
I think it's the whore from the brothel that fathered Roberts baby, the one Ned went to see... ;)
Exactly, his voice-over with saying "The night is dark and full of terrors" also won me over.
ReplyDeleteApril 1 in the US, April 2 in the UK and most of Central Europe.

ReplyDeleteGRRM's books can take a while! Even if you love them and want to read they are loooooong books! XD
ReplyDeleteSomeone on another site posted a comment from an extra on set and they said they stripped Sansa in that scene... I actually expected the scene to be a bit worse honestly. However, I was a bit shocked when I first read how the scene went down though.
ReplyDeleteI guess in a series based on Adult Fantasy that contains children, the actors portraying those roles will have to do some very adult parts or the series will lose some of the drama and intensity in the books.
Thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteI may not have taken the time to look it up, but now that you did it for me......
I have new music to listen to! XD
Well, I didn't had to search that much. Winter-is-coming tweeted it. lol
ReplyDeleteBut I'm glad that someone (had to be you ;)) will enjoy it as well.
or at least on April 2nd, depending on where on the globe you live. XD
ReplyDeleteAlso if you look a the windows behind her they look like Littlefinger's brothel windows.... so I strongly hold to that opinion. ;)
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm just happy people did not say it Lyanna in the Tower of Joy in some flashback! XD
ReplyDeleteI've moved past The Tower of Joy and hope ot not hear so much about it this season... In fact, why did I bring it up? XD
Extremely long! I still have to finish the fifth... And I started just after it was published!!!
ReplyDeleteApril 1? I want it now!!
ReplyDeleteHa! XD
ReplyDeleteThis is good!
Especially since I think we all thought it...

Me too! Can't wait for the SanSan stuff! and for more screen time for Sandor.
ReplyDeletemore like April is coming ;)
ReplyDeleteI think they should've shown Bron instead of Sandor for the "common sellsword" line. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, I soooo can't wait!!!!!! Perfect promo!!
Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteYes, SanSan! I'm such a shipper, even though I know it's sooo wrong.
ReplyDeleteYeah maybe a bit ;)
ReplyDeleteThough much less than what I had thought as appropriate
"Cersei's revenge"
Super Excited for the new season but hate that we have to wait 2 more months for it to start
ReplyDeleteI am so freaking excited, I can't even. Love the way it sets up Tyrion's whole arc with that one speech at the beginning.
ReplyDelete
