What happened is HBO Spain and HBO Sweden put it on their streaming services HBO Now and HBO Go. Luckily for HBO, Spaniards don’t seem to have capture cards (or know how to use them), with all streams being uploaded to Youtube, Twitch and Instagram (they recorded off their phone lmao). But the swedes kinda know what they’re doing, so it spread like wildfire.

Now if someone could make an edit of the obliteration scene in ep 4 where Jaime (HBO) says ‘we can hold them off’ when he sees the dothraki (Spain) and then they shit themselves when they see Drogon (i.e. Sweden) that would be hilarious.

Hilarious.

Hackers threaten to fuck over HBO with threats of releasing episodes and actor details.

HBO exec 1: "Wow hard to fuck up worse than being hacked and blackmailed"
HBO exec 2: “Hold my corona, hermano”

Streets in a new residential estate in Geelong is being named after characters from GoT, however after a complaint from a neighbouring estate in the Armstrong Creek growth area, the developer has to change the name of Lannaster Road to Precinct Road, because the planned name made reference to Cersei and Jaime Lannister, who are in a brother-sister relationship. It even makes the front page of today’s Geelong Advertiser.

Ridiculous. There are lots of Lannisters. They object to the name of the whole family because two of them are incestuous, but I take it they are okay with the Caligula-like Joffrey shooting arrows into a defenceless, tied-up woman.

Keen as fuck. Needs to happen because the universe is so big. We don’t know anything about two whole continents of the map.

Prime opportunity for a Game of Thrones-style Marvel expanded universe.

8,000? Prehistoric?

That’s what the article says. I think it’s just imaginative universe like Lord of the Rings.
