I feel suckered for ever paying for HBO and Im a Bill Maher fan. I just catch it all on demand when its free nowadays. Game Of Thrones is pretty cool, but nothing could ever get me to pay for HBO

Every time I've moved or whatever, I've found that if I berate my provider long enough, they always basically give me HBO and Showtime for free (for a few bucks a month; something nominal).
But I have to play a bitchy little prima donna for an hour. Which can be fun, except for the pantyhose and the heels.

Looks like the price for HBO went up 17.99 now. It was 11.99.... I can just get it on the net screw paying that. It was not worth the 11.99 now they want more ha thats funny.
it was an OK start. I was really expecting to see a fight between those white walkers and the Night's Watch. I was disappointed in that.

The American ambassador to Australia, Jeffrey Bleich, has just one, tiny, itsy-bitsy request for the Land Down Under, one that would make his job so much easier: please stop pirating Game of Thrones!
“As the Ambassador here in Australia, it was especially troubling to find out that Australian fans were some of the worst offenders with among the highest piracy rates of Game of Thrones in the world,” he wrote on Facebook this week. “While some people here used to claim that they used pirate sites only because of a delay in getting new episodes here, the show is now available from legitimate sources within hours of its broadcast in the United States.”
Australians are no doubt familiar with the fact that for the first two seasons, they could watch Game of Thrones episodes on the Showcase channel (a premium channel that is the exclusive Aussie carrier of HBO content) a week after they aired on HBO in the US. With Season 3, the delay between the American and Australian premieres has been shortened to just a few hours. (The first two seasons are also available in Australia on iTunes.)
Director: Yeah, whatevs
Bleich makes an argument that we’ve heard for years from the entertainment industry: that digital piracy is the same as stealing from a shop. (Nevermind the fact that stealing from a shop prevents others from having access to that physical good, while digital piracy does not.)
“If the 4 million people who watched Game of Thrones legally had been illegal downloaders—the show would be off the air and there would never have been a Season 3,” he added.
The American ambassador seems to have also forgotten the fact that the show’s director David Petrarca told an Australian audience in February that unauthorized downloads don’t matter, because the show really relies on “cultural buzz.”
"That's how they survive," he told the crowd gathered at the University of Western Australia, noting that HBO has 26 million paid subscribers in the United States, and 60 million worldwide—meaning, the network has plenty of money.
Indeed, the head of HBO has even said as much, too.
“I probably shouldn’t be saying this, but it is a compliment of sorts,” Michael Lombardo, the president of HBO’s programming, told Entertainment Weekly last month. “The demand is there. And it certainly didn’t negatively impact the DVD sales. [Piracy is] something that comes along with having a wildly successful show on a subscription network.”

(note how he only specified Game of Thrones, which I don't watch ..... he never mentioned The Big Bang Theory, so he can leave me alone!)

Daenarys is a Goddess, and that's high praise from this atheist.
Things aint looking good for Theon.
What happens when the TV show gets to the point where GRRM hasn't written yet?? It is inevitable.

If you are lucky enough to have a cable provider that allows such interactions, HBO has an online option on its website.
really is a great show/series, i'm just hoping ole George hurries up & finishes the damn books before the show catches up to him. arya stark is one bad little chick, for those that have only watched the show and not read the books, keep an eye on that one, she may be the toughest sumbitch of them all hahaha
