So, Episode 2 has appeared on oversea's HBO GO.
Whether by accident or intent, I don't know.

But since stuff on the internet is like toothpaste in that you can't put it back once it's out, the episode is, uhm, "available".

Does that warrant an early 2.02 Thread?

Does that warrant an early 2.02 Thread?

Yeah, I might as well start the thread for the second episode now for those people who have seen it.

I was so-so on this show when it started but it really grew on me over season 1. This episode didn't disappoint in the least. I'm still confused as hell and can never remember anyone's names or clans but I'm enjoying it nonetheless.

Ghost looks like my Samoyed! Well, three times bigger, and not sleeping with all fours in the air, but...

Hey @nytimesarts! 6.3 million viewers. Have we expanded beyond our "Dungeons & Dragons fan-base" enough for you? #GoT

haha

The second episode has now been removed from HBO Go in the Netherlands and Poland. It looks like the early release was a mistake and HBO says it won't happen again.

knowledge is more powerful when it's discretely and subtly employed.

Discreet, not discrete.

^^It could be accurate either way...

I don't know if it was posted in this thread or on another board but while Jaime is the Kingslayer, Cersei is the Kingslapper.

A little ot but the actor that plays Monroe on Grimm is a total got fan:

I watched three episodes of ‘Game of Thrones’ and decided, ‘I wanna read this,’” he said. “I just started the fourth book in the series and I love it. People eat and drink and screw and die, and there are these mythological elements all around them, forces beyond their control [not unlike 'Grimm'], and I find that quite compelling.”

Game of Thrones won a Peabody award:

Peabody writeup: Adapted from dark-age fantasy books by George R.R. Martin, the series immerses viewers in a multilayered, distinctly imagined world of mysticism and earthiness, fidelity and deceit, wonder and mayhem.

Dammit. I accidentally voted in the episode 2 thread and couldn't figure out what people were talking about since I had no clue that was leaked.

Seven hells.

Thank god for reruns and folks kind enough to have HBO when I'm visiting. I got to see this, and boy was it satisfying.

Not very often that a show you've waited nearly a year to see continue actually manages to live up to the crazy expectations in your brain.
