Stupid Comcast took back our premium channels a few months back. Don't miss them, don't want them. But I want to watch this series.

However, I have a dinner party I'm hosting, so I'll make up my mind tomorrow on what to do.

Perhaps, Amazon Prime. Anyone have alternative ideas, other than HBO?

You can just subscribe to HBO Go now without actually having the TV service.

So how did “stupid” Comcast take back your premium channels? Please explain that. No freeper is a freeloader (I hope). Get what you pay for and pay for what you get.

Rarely does HBO/Cinemax series appear on streaming sites like Netflix or Amazon Prime.

Viva Torrents!

Or if BO had any sense, they would just release them all at once on HBO GO.

Like who has the time to watch these shows spoon-fed out one episode a week?

That is one thing I like about Netflix and their original series. Netflix puts all episodes for the season online at the same time. That is great for binge watching.

STARZ sometimes puts their ‘newest’ movies/episodes on the day they air on the cable channel in the evening.

There were things about this series I liked—love the Medieval Fantasy aspect…but I stopped. Couldn’t take the constant simulated sex acts. Is it still porn? And I read an interview with the author. He seems like a total jerk.

The show has not been available through Amazon prime in the past. We do not subscribe to the premium channels. Hubby orders the DVD when it becomes available, so we watch the previous season not long before the next season is getting ready to air.

The first four episodes are all over the streaming websites. I you don’t mind low resolution, extreme compression, and viruses, it’s free. The quality is so low, I don’t think it will effect HBO — in fact, it may be good publicity. I’ve watched them, and couldn’t tell you a thing because I just use this stuff to keep me company in my shop. I think the show is generally about global cooling.

Since the 5 season is based on the bookA Dance with Dragons: A Song of Ice and Fire, I'd say that there has been a major spoiler out since Jul 12, 2011, when the book was published.

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.
