I think the king has a warmer end in mind for you, Turncloak.

Amazon finally got a good exclusive Blu-ray set, may have to pass on BestBuys

That isn't an exclusive. That is the standard release that's going to be available at all stores.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Oh, I'm not used to the covers being so nice.

 

[Victarion]

I like it. Very pretty.

 

[Marvolo]

Oh, I'm not used to the covers being so nice.

I was surprised by it too. It's very pretty and a step up from the plain black and plain white of previous seasons. I'm looking forward to having it on my shelf.

 

[Reek]

it is a shame it is tyrions teaser poster though... MEHHHH

 

[Victarion]

It isn't my first choice. I would prefer something like the 4 sigils that used for...was it one of the season two box sets? Except with Stannis's fiery heart of R'hllor against the Flayed Man, and then below that the Targaryen Dragon against the Greyjoy Kraken.

But it really does look pretty sweet. I like that there's some of the lesser seen House sigils represented on the archway.

 

[Reek]

the archway is awesome, its just.. tyrion? really? this seasons tyrion weaseled his way to an emmy and did jack ****

 

[Victarion]

His arc was a bit less satisfying than in the book, admittedly. Not saying I needed to see him with Griffs or anything, but just being in the pits and dragging himself back to the top. Jon and Dany should have been the top bills for this one, I think. Especially if we get another Dance of Dragons. Both were learning what it is to rule and all.

 

[Roose Bolton]

We won't get another Dance of the Dragons. At least not on the show.

 

[Reek]

Dance of the Krakens

I'd say a lot less satisfying.

The artwork should be a surprise to no one. They always go with the main poster art for that season for the cover, not including the Best Buy exclusive slips with the house sigils.

 

[Reek]

no... no surprise... just a big meh.

 

[dude stannis]

I'd say a lot less satisfying.

I googled 'Stannis that's a lie' to find the meme for a post I needed today. The results where almost exclusively from the last two episodes of Season 5.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Dance of the Krakens

Game of Thrones Season 6: filmed in Tokyo.

 

[TLH]

The individual box sets don't matter once they release a complete series balls-to-the-walls edition that probably has all the family sigils, words, whatever the ****. HBO goes nuts with complete series releases. GoT will probably get the best one to date.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Except they actually spruced up the design.

This is the poster for S5

Regularly, they would not have made the changes they did for the dvd and it would just be plain black and white and boring.

WotW reports another actor has been cast. A kid that kinda looks Starkish. Either a child of the forest or...I have no idea. Too young to be young Griff.

Also: and now his restroom break ends

The Season 6 Return of a Character Confirmed!

Red Wedding 2.0 in the Riverlands?

And you still have no idea who it is....?

 

[Victarion]

Not yet. All I've seen on WotW is speculation that he's young Baelish in a flashback. I can't imagine what significance that would have though.
