    Whatever happened to Ozbargain

    • +7

      I think it is a bargain as it is free and gives you a taster before you watch the rest of it.

  • Not a fan of the time jumps but good show so far , nice to have something to look forward to every Monday again

      Not sure why the downvotes - its a bit naff when the second episode has jumped 6 months then the 3rd another 3 years! Like, nothing interesting is happening in Westeros over those 3.5-4 years? Then they spent the whole 3rd episode focused on 1 day, like c'mon, get things moving! Feels very season 8 GOT….

    The CGI in episode 3 was terrible. The crab and stag were the worst, but the dragon cave scene also looked terrible. I don't understand it because I thought the dragon CGI was pretty good in the first two episodes. The costumes and sets also seemed a little cheap in episode 3, the extras felt like guys in costumes sitting around sets.

      Yeah I have to agree I thoohjr the CGI in this episode looked super cheap. The darker skin fella riding on the dragon in battle at the end looked like a super cheap green screen

      Everyone finds a way to complain about something

    • GoT had some pretty terrible cgi with the dragons.
      Looked comical.

    • Check out how bad the CGI looks in the next episode! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QdLc9Fz4dI

    • did you watch it legally or through piratebay?

  • +4

    If you have a VPN just bypass the piracy filter and download all three

  • +7

    If you're going to use a VPN to bypass things so you can watch something you technically legally can't/shouldn't due to regional licensing or w/e, you might as well use the VPN to pirate all three episodes lol. Effectively the same thing, but better.

    I mean if you're taking the trouble to VPN for just one episode, might as well sail the high seas for all of them

  • I am afraid to get hooked on this series because of what happened to Game of Thrones.

    • +2

      i think game of thrones is what will prevent people from being hooked, people will keep their expectations in check. i will certainly give this a watch once all the episodes are out (i can't go back to waiting a week for a new episode, i just lose interest) but i'm not going to expect it to be good, maybe it will be bad, but in that case all i've lost is a few hours of my time.

      if you want to watch, just remember what happened and then watch it, keep expectations in check.

    • No chance of that. It's so meh. I think the pilot (ep. 1) had a different intro with an all new score (or at least the version I saw did), then in ep 2 and 3 they just overlayed the new scenes with the Game of Thrones theme.

      But, the acting, the characters, the story… puh-lease. Perhaps if it had some bigger name actors in it (sorry, Matt Smith doesn't do it for me). But, it just goes to show that the new show (set 172 years before Daenerys Targaryen was around) clearly shows that they really screwed up the ending of Game of Thrones. Why not do something no other series has… go back and re-do the final season and give fans the ending they want (in a not so predictable way). Seriously, Bran as King of The North (if I roll my eyes any more they'll get stuck in the back of my head). Daenerys or Jon (or both, should have been rulers). Did we really see Cersei's body? That would've been one hell of a plot twist.

      Re-do season 8 instead of this rubbish that is just relying on a few shocking scenes to keep viewers hooked.

      • Yeah, I'd have liked a different outcome too, but you know what? I've moved on. About time everyone else does.

      • Seriously, Bran as King of The North

        wasn't he ruler of the 7 kingdoms, not just the north? either way, my understanding is that the general plot of season 5 and onwards (even season 8) was what george was going to do, but the two idiots just did not have the skill to execute it, so bran would probably still become king if george ever finishes the bloody books, it will just be done better.

      • I think the pilot (ep. 1) had a different intro with an all new score (or at least the version I saw did), then in ep 2 and 3 they just overlayed the new scenes with the Game of Thrones theme.

        I felt the same about the intro earlier but my mind was changed after seeing this analysis: (watch the first 3 mins of this video)

        I also believe they decided to do this intro from the second episode as they didn't wanna spoil anything from episode 1 in the intro itself.
