Bad news today for HBO, which is attempting to marry the recent debut of their HBO Now streaming service with season 5 of Game of Thrones. As of last night, the first four episodes of the new season, nearly half of the ten total episodes, have been leaked online to various torrent sites.

After appearing online yesterday afternoon, the episodes have already been downloaded almost 800,000 times, and that figure will likely blow past a million downloalds by the season 5 premier tonight.

“I think the show is generally about global cooling.”

Ha, good one!

I watched three of the new episodes between yesterday and today.

Last night’s episode was pretty good, although there was a bit too much Loras and Oliver, IYKWIM.

Agreed! There should be a GOT Ping List!

Perdogg, do you run one? If so I'd like to be added.

The two times I happened to tune in to "The Sopranos" there were gay mobsters going at it.

"No thanks," said I.

I used to have one, but no one was interested, I do not have HBO anymore. If there is a GoT story ping me, and I will bump it on the SciFi, Horror, Fantasy ping list.

Sounds like an interesting series. I won’t pay to get HBO in my house. Giving money to my enemy is not something I will do.

I will wait till my library has the dvd/bluray. I did the same thing with Deadwood.

I think the show is generally about global cooling.

It's the 5th season and all I have heard since season 1 episode 1 is "Winter is coming".

Whatever planet the Starks and Lannisters inhabit, it has a verrrrry log trip around it's primary.

Indeed, would be interested in discussing the politics of Westeros, and folks like Tyrion, Jamie, and Jon Snow, and speaking of Tyrion in the last episode of season 4 it was good he killed Tywin Lannister, and killed him sitting on the toilet like the piece of shit he was, too bad he had to kill his ex whore as well, I would tap that to be honest.

Not really. There are plot divergences already, some kinda big.
