edit: "...the network suggests that the leaked episodes were culled from screening copies provided to critics and reviewers prior to broadcast"

Just looked and the first four episodes of season 5 are already up and downloading now on torrent sites.

I do find that Kind of odd.

I'd love to know where the hell they are getting them!

 

[pakalolo]

They are leaked screeners sent to reviewers, and should have been watermarked (ew!). We don't know which four episodes they are, or even if they're sequential. It's a pretty safe bet that episode 1 is one of them.

 

[grokit]

If they're the first four, I know what I'll be doing tonight

lol - i have been dloading since 11 am ...

 

[RUDE BOY]

yeah but then waiting a month for episode 5 might not be so much fun.

... That said they downloaded very fast, like in 8 minutes (i was just informed by an unnamed source)

No way they could download all 5 episodes in 8 minutes. It can't be all 5 episodes.

Confirmed, episodes 1-4. Watermark almost non existent, blurred rectangle in SW corner. Good quality as well for the size.

After a mini marathon, season 5 is looking impressive so far.

Edit: @Vicki at 1.5gb total file size, that is doable.

 

[grokit]

I don't use this particular site as anything more than a directory.
But if they're up on this one, they're up everywhere.

i've timed out 3 times ... giving up . besides , i'm in the camp that if it seems like hbo show is spoiling the books , i'm gonna bail until the book is out . i enjoy the books MUCH more than the show . not that the show is in anyway bad , but the theater between my ears has always been superior

....the theater between my ears has always been superior

Well said.....

4 episodes with over 11,000 seeds downloads pretty quickly It seems.

 

[nihil]

@vapomancer I heard the Series and the Books are going to diverge on the plotline from here on out. Could be wrong, haven't read the books, but had some friends tell me there were changes in the last season as well.

 

[Vicki]

How does Games of Thrones finally end. Winter comes.

 

[pakalolo]

How does Games of Thrones finally end. Winter comes.

Everybody dies.

Everybody dies.

I'm starting to think that everyone will die before Winter arrives, including all hope of GRR recalling the plot device of "storyline" being helpful in moving things along. And, I've read the books.... not sure if they will ever get to Winter...

However, at this point, we are about to start Season Four on Netflix.

 

[Mr. Gweilo 420]

I watched Episode 1 last night and have 3 more to watch tonight and this week. It was kind of anti-climactic to be honest. I have really been looking forward to it but getting the episodes early feels weird.

Someone is going down for leaking this. Such a massive and expensive production and then it leaks ... oh dear.

 

[Gray Area]

I watched the first two last night and will watch the second two later today (I guess).
First one was a bit hmmm, but it picked up a bit in the second. Looks like there's a major shift from the book storyline coming with Jaime Lannister already...

 

[DieHard]

I have heard that the show will eventually move faster than the releases of the books. AND that GRR has provide plot details of the future books so the show production does not have to wait. Soon the show will be spoiling the books.

Did you get it figured out? If not PM me

 

[His_Highness]

I prepped by watching last season's finale again and then settled in for the premier. Its good to be back!

We've been watching every season, every Sunday on HBO. We were calling it "Game of Thrones Sunday."

 

[h3rbalist]

I downloaded, and got this.

If You Watched Leaked 'Game Of Thrones' Episodes, HBO Might Be Coming After You

• Notices are coming.

According to reports, HBO is tracking down the people who watched those leaked "Game of Thrones" episodes. Though no serious legal action is being taken at the moment, the company is said to have sent "thousands of warnings" to those with Internet connections that shared the shows.

Through anti-piracy partner IP-Echelon, HBO is reportedly telling providers to "contact the subscriber" and "take appropriate action." The company tells HuffPost the anti-piracy efforts it's implementing are "standard operating procedure."

Reddit users have seemingly posted examples of what they received:


Just got the following in an email from my ISP Bell Canada. Someone in the apartment downloaded it.

According to various sources, no strict legal action is being taken because HBO doesn't have any violator names, but pirates should be wary. It's apparent HBO is about to go all Khaleesi:

HBO can come and meet me in the Fuck You thread lol. Wow, no spoilers but by the end of Season 4 it is back to that classic Game of Thrones 'jaw-dropping' action kind of episode. What a great series!
