Game of Thrones: More Blu-ray details aka a House ONTD post

The DVD and Blu-ray release of Game of Thrones season 2 hits on Tuesday, February 19 and includes a huge bundle of special content, including commentaries on every episode, special featurettes, histories accessible in-episode, and hidden “dragon eggs” (deleted scenes, actually).

Some of what gets revealed in those commentaries and featurettes is a little eye-popping, so I’ve combed through all of it and pulled out some of the best bits for curious fans. Want to know how to get on the show? Need a summary of the hints dropped about the forthcoming third season? Want to know what wildfire is made of? And what cast member the entire ensemble is really worried about? Read on!

What's saddest about the Sansa hate is that Sophie is such a tremendous actress but is always overlooked.
khlassique 19th-Feb-2013 08:57 pm (UTC)
people hate sophie because they hate sansa and it's the stupidest shit ever
watermeloncholy 19th-Feb-2013 09:30 pm (UTC)
At this point though I think the Cat hate is even worse and Michelle Fairley keeps getting shafted.
lokiyan 19th-Feb-2013 09:34 pm (UTC)
Michelle is amazeballs and haters are lame and ridiculous. I also hate how the show is handling Cat because none of it makes sense!

I think, unfortunately, because of the way the characters have semi-parallel storylines, Sophie and Maisie are always compared and because Arya has the more overtly appealing storyline, Sophie always loses in the comparison when I think they're both great.

I'm not so sure though. Sometimes I think I can only understand what emotions she's trying to portray because I've read the books. There's a season 2 deleted scene up on youtube with Sandor and then Tyrion, and her face is so weirdly blank when she's supposed to be scared? And intimidated, and it's strange. Maybe I just don't understand how they're writing her, but I'm finding a lot to be desired with her performance.

Charles Dance was so effective as Tywin that crew would rush to assist him based on the terror his character instilled.

Damn son.

Also, got my box set today. Ready to watch all the special features.

summerswings 26th-Feb-2013 05:06 am (UTC)
I don't get this one at all. The crew assists him doing what? Instilling more terror? Huh?

Anyone going to the exhibition? It's worth it just to sit on the iron throne alone. I don't think I can plan a NY trip in time for it, unfortunately :(

OH MY GODS THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THE THRONE?!

If they really like Sansa then show it! Give her better treatment than she was given in Season 2. Damn.
littlehayzay 19th-Feb-2013 08:06 pm (UTC)
lol well that thronecast dude was basically like 'i don't know how people don't punch him in the face... i mean, i'm sure he's lovely in person, but he's an amazing actor because joffrey is just such a little prick that i want to smack him'
war_machine_rox 19th-Feb-2013 08:07 pm (UTC)
Alfie is such a dork and embarrassed by his sex scene and Gemma won't stop laughing.

They are adorable.

One of my friends goes to Trinity and has a few classes with Jack. Apparently no one ever goes up to him for a picture or anything, but there's always one or two dickheads who yell out something at him in a lecture or walking around college ("so is yer dad yer uncle?" being the tamest). So yeah, I really wouldn't be surprised if some drunk asshole though he was actually Joffrey and not just an actor playing a part.

Also - and this is indicative of my friend's stalker tendencies - apparently if you stand on Nassau Street at 6pm on a Thursday, you can see him cycle past.
kronprinsesse Re: semi-OT19th-Feb-2013 08:13 pm (UTC)
Aww geez that sucks :\ I feel bad for him.
wonderwomanhero Re: semi-OT19th-Feb-2013 08:14 pm (UTC)

I want to hug him
sandvich Re: semi-OT19th-Feb-2013 08:19 pm (UTC)
That's really sad. :( Poor bb.
bohhead Re: semi-OT19th-Feb-2013 08:27 pm (UTC)
:( poor jack.
nebulous_mirage Re: semi-OT19th-Feb-2013 08:31 pm (UTC)
awww :( people can be so cruel

i want to go up to him and tell him how awesome he is and he's a really great actor. but i'd probably end up stuttering.

MTE lol
verdhandi Re: semi-OT19th-Feb-2013 10:19 pm (UTC)
whaaat that is TERRIBLE!

I hate it when people do stuff like that. I have a terrible feeling that one day some dickhead might punch him because "Joffrey is so despicable", ugh.
wonderwomanhero 19th-Feb-2013 08:10 pm (UTC)
Has anyone heard the Garden of Bones commentary yet?
liberateourtime 19th-Feb-2013 08:10 pm (UTC)
Hodor gets a monologue in episode 9 of season 3! Or, according to the showrunners, “Hodor goes OFF.”

........wait what
ladyseraph_756 19th-Feb-2013 08:15 pm (UTC)
Yeah, what would that be like exactly?

Him all up in Theon's face going 'Hodor hodor hodorhodor hor hodor HODOR!!!!"

I feel bad for LOLing but I can't imagine it
liberateourtime 19th-Feb-2013 08:16 pm (UTC)
plot twist he's actually a azor ahai and has been fooling us all along by hiding in plain sight
hawaii_bombay 19th-Feb-2013 09:15 pm (UTC)
Everytime I read that in the books, I always think of 'Timmay!!!' from South Park.
fancycarousel 19th-Feb-2013 08:11 pm (UTC)
CANNOT WAIT FOR THE TRAILER. YYYYAAAASSSSSSS
liberateourtime 19th-Feb-2013 08:11 pm (UTC)
The House of the Undying was inspired by the painting “Isle of the Dead.”

lol clearly because it sure as shit wasn't inspired by the books
ladyseraph_756 19th-Feb-2013 08:13 pm (UTC)
I'm actually excited to hear High Valyrian in the show tbh. I like what they did with Dothraki even with the limited amount we got to hear. Can't wait!

liberateourtime 19th-Feb-2013 08:15 pm (UTC)

Straight from the showrunners: “To all you Sansa haters out there… suck it.”

lol like D&D actually care about Sansa.
ms_geekette 19th-Feb-2013 10:19 pm (UTC)
I know, I was wondering if they were telling themselves to suck it?

I'd hate to see what they'd do to characters they *don't* like.
sandvich 19th-Feb-2013 08:21 pm (UTC)
I managed to strong-arm one of my friends into watching from the beginning with me and I'm so excited. The best thing about watching GoT is watching it with people who don't know how much shit's about to go down.
wonderwomanhero 19th-Feb-2013 08:22 pm (UTC)
The Red Wedding episode premiere will be glorious and I expect lots of reaction videos and gifs, plus you know there will be at least one video where a girl is crying uncontrollably over Robb's death because "he is so hot/flawless/perfect" etc.
