We could have an E board thread just for Nerdwriter's videos. Fantastic stuff, one of the best filmmakers on YouTube.

I think the LOTR movies were the first films were I watch every single thing in the special features about filming and making the movie.

I count 48 so far from Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

Edit: 51 with Instagram.

I just started the series tonight. (I know, I know).

Is there a recap article for each episode that y'all would recommend that I can read after each episode to make sure I fully understand what I just watched?

They might not be the most accurate/in-depth, but damn they're entertaining.

Thank you. I'm looking for something episode by episode. Just because I won't have friends to talk to along the way in case I'm confused or something

Oh that's perfect. Thanks!

Bro... spoilers!

I am jealous. Would love just to blast through the whole series for the first time and even get the ending.

depends on how in depth you want to go. The Wikipedia entries, by season are pretty good to make sure you are getting the main points.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Game_of_Thrones_episodes

But there are other, more dedicated sites that have more depth.

Watching with my wife (her first run through) and she's reading these wiki's before each episode. It's infuriating...lol.
- She gets up right before a key person dies
- 'where are you going...you're about to miss something crazy'
- 'oh I already read what happens'

Weird thing is even with reading about everything I'm having to explain key points that she's not catching. I mean key things. I'd post examples but considering I think I quoted someone watching for the first time I won't.

Yes. Start here:

https://ew.com/recap/game-of-thrones-season-1-episode-1/

James Hibberd's recaps are the best you'll find.

Gonna be a particularly rough season, I reckon. Gods, I hate deadlines.

I think Arya is running from faceless man.

Now that is a idea.

HBO has done such a great job in eliminating unnecessary GRRM arcs/characters and in some cases bridging multiple characters/arcs together to keep the series moving.

In ADWD there was a faceless man at the Citadel when Sam shows up. He killed an old master (f'ing spell check won't let me spell it correctly) and a new one in training. Books did not progress to the point of why.

A faceless man at Winterfell, even Jaquen, probably hired by Cersei or maybe some other nefarious cause, would be an interesting twist.

With six episodes left I doubt it but you never know.

Whaaaaaat? How the...why...would someone do it like this? Some of the best parts of the show/book are the WTF moments that come out of nowhere!

Yeahhhh, my first run through I read AFTER each episode. Not before.

This is my thought as well.

IM SO PROUD OF YOU. Welcome to pop culture!

This shot is just beautiful. Can we appreciate the fact that this is a "TV series"?

That's LOTR level.

Man we need someone to be playing Danger Zone when this happens

Really hoping for "Bad Company' to be playing when the Golden Company sails into King's Landing

Good info! I was thinking about asking for a pod but I think reading a recap is more practical.

I'm a little constrained on time having a 18 month old. I only have time for one episode a night. I'll have to really knock some out on the weekends.

I just want to be live for the finale. Anything else is bonus.

My old roommate used to do this. She'd read up on the entire season online (currently airing on tv), spoilers, etc, and then tease us about knowing everything.

I just can't fathom wanting to know everything ahead of time.

WTF?

Whoever said Jon and Dany were probably edited out for the trailers is spot on. Betting these shots are when Jon is taking his first flight, with Dany guiding him. Could even be the end of the first episode.
