HBO's Game of Thrones

I am DYING for this to become available on Netflix!

It probably won't...I don't think HBO shows are on Netflix. The Blurays are very reasonably priced, however.

Yeah, HBO (HBO Go) already has a streaming service for its shows. You just have to have HBO already. They have never expressed any interest in joining Netflix.

I know you guys are talking about streaming via Netflix, but I think you can rent the DVD's of the show.

Wish I could get a monthly subscription to HBO Go - without the need to have cable.  I'd gladly pay the monthly HBO rate or a premium.

Same here, I can't imagine they'd really cannibalize sales much.

That's right, I forgot it's an HBO show. Not interested in buying the discs for this, I'll wait, HBO will likely find a way to distribute their content once the show ages a bit.

It will be on iTunes I believe

Edit:  or perhaps not, thought I read they were doing more distribution of season three because of the high rate of piracy but now I can't find where I saw that

Last I heard, the CEO/someone important at HBO scoffed the "high rates of piracy" numbers. So it being available on iTunes is news to me.

You can get this through Netflix DVD's. I was thinking of adding it to my Q.

Well I enjoyed Episode 1 of Season 3.  Great to be back in Westeros and Easteros.
A few minor changes to the story, but nothing too bad.
[spoiler]It was heartbreaking to see Tyrion dressed down by his father Tywin Lannister.
Seeing a CGI giant in Mance Rayder's camp was really great!

Next week should be really good as Deanrys comes into her own with the unsullied mercenaries.[/spoiler]

This is such a quality show...I really think it is the best hour on television. So happy it's back. I just wonder at what point in book 3 they are ending this season.

There's a pretty logical point about midway though the book to cut off the season :)

I believe GRR Martin refers to it as "RW" so as not to be spoilery.

Yep that's what I was thinking as well.  In fact I'm pretty sure I remember some of the actors talking about RW ending this season during a comic-con panel right after the end of season 2 last year.

I loved the first episode, I felt like when I saw the credits roll last night I had only been watching for 20 minutes or so...it went by so fast!  Next week should see us catching up with the characters we didn't see last night...then I imagine once the re-introductions are over, in ep 3 things will get rolling for real.

Ohhhhh, right. RW. That will be...quite a crazy ending. Folks are gonna freak.

Yep if Rico hasn't quit watching by then, he'll burst a blood vessel after that episode ;)
