Description

Duplicity and treachery...nobility and honor...conquest and triumph...and, of course, dragons. It's 'Game' on for Season 3 of this epic, Emmy(R)-winning HBO series based on the bestselling book series by George R.R. Martin. In Season 3, family and loyalty are the overarching themes as many critical storylines from the first two seasons come to a brutal head. Meanwhile, the Lannisters maintain their hold on King's Landing, though stirrings in the North threaten to alter the balance of power; Robb Stark, King of the North, faces a major calamity as he tries to build on his victories; a massive army of wildlings led by Mance Rayder (Ciaran Hinds) march for the Wall; and Daenerys Targaryen--reunited with her dragons--attempts to raise an army in her quest for the Iron Throne.

If you haven’t watched GOT yet I am so jealous ! I’d be embarrassed to say how much I’d pay to watch this again for this first time. Fargo is right behind GOT on my all time fav list.

The fat, dumb, inept man is a stereotype that is overused and lazy writing. Yelling at someone with empty threats is not a power or strength. It makes the characters seem stupid. I’m a 75/98lb girl and I’m going to beat you up? Really!? More cable tv Foolish People tv for Fools.

HBO has produced amazing shows during the last decade, but witholding GOT from iTunes because of greed is unacceptable! I’m sorry HBO but you have left me with no option but to torrent. Your reputation and credibility has been damaged by this, perhaps more than you realise.

I doubt anyone can question the quality of the film making, sets, environment, or acting and what must be a good producer and everything. It's got an addictive allure. But with all that, it still doesn't do anything. WIth only 8 to 10 episodes a season and multiple story lines and many characters, you would think each episode would be jam packed with forward movement into the stories. But nay. Nothing happens most episodes. Instead each episode seems to be split into thirds, each being a detailed look at a single unmoving scene. We could stare at a path in the woods for 20 minutes while someone discusses doing something or simply hints at it. It might finally happen 3 episodes from now, or more likely it will happen between episodes and you will never see it at all. You will know it has come to pass when they return to the path in the woods and discuss it some more.
I'm long beyond this season now, but I can tell you I'm no further into any of the storylines. I've now watched the first of the next season where things were said to start happening. Without spoiling anything, I can safely report there is nothing for me to spoil yet. This many seasons in, I dare now expect there never will be.
This all seems like an exersize or research into just how far they can push the viewing public away while maintaining the allure. Well, I'm cutting the cord. Make sure you note how long your strung me along. I hope it was worth it. It's taught me not to bother next time, with the next one.
It doesn't deserve 5 stars as a whole. Actors/environement/film=5, storytelling 1. I rate it a three with a heavy warning to save your time for something more fruitful.

I love Game of Thrones, but the reason for my 2-star rating is because of the fact that i had to wait an entire year for HBO to release it. HBO and iTunes need to find a solution for this really quick because its frustrating for people who don't have HBO on their TV.

Dragons

One look at the skeletal remains of the dragon head in the catacombs under the city and you reaalize all the battles and even the windwalkers are nothing compared to what is on the horizon. I am puzzled as to how past dragons were defeated. Yet therein lis the key to the future struggle. I have't read the books and don't wish to sppil it. The cover art suggests the real danger to the realms is approaching.

The show is epic but iTunes continually takes too long to update. I forgot how old this season was....seeing the King of the North reminded me. The red wedding seemed to happen years ago but it's in this current season. Please update faster, I will not buy another season on iTunes if it takes a year to be offered.
Hint, get the HBO app then you can watch it anytime, even the next day after it was aired.

You probably expected tp pay nearly $40 to purchase Season 3, but you won't get it here. It's a bunch of previews and teasbaxteers, and iTunes is absolutely shameless about selling it to you for that price ($10 less if you get standard definition).
This is the reason pre-ratings should not be allowed. Everyone who rated this a 2-5 was just psyched about the upcoming season and assumed a full one would be available on iTunes.

the point of a season pass

2014-02-05
to me the whole point of a season pass is to download and own the episodes of a season once they become available for purchase. As noted in an earlier review HBO decides when the episodes become available, not Itunes. yes it is such a bummer the HBO is taking so long to release these episodes for purchase. though the longer you go without being able to watch them the more you will forget and want to recap on what has happened in previous seasons, and what better way to do that than buy and watch the seasons over again? this is HBO saying FEED ME MONEY

Terrible Distribution Practices

On iTunes Australia, one was able to buy the Season 3 episodes the day they were released last year. I waited to buy this season only to find out there are no episodes available?!?!? HBO should not have any wonders as to why this show is so heavily pirated. This is a shameful distribution model that actually punishes the US consumer. It is a real shame that HBO is willing to release their product to the Australian market and not the US market.

This review is more for iTunes than the show (which is amazing!).
It's funny how Apple feels the need to tell me that a new episode is available, which is "Season 3: In Production" when they're almost 1 year behind, to the month.
I won't be buying a season 4 pass for $40 - it's a ripoff to pay that much for reruns when I can get them from other services for less and much, much sooner.

DO NOT BUY!!!

In which century is HBO operating? Love the show, but the backwards business plan has created HBO's pirating problem. Everyone who would buy season three has already seen it. Put it on sale in a relative time window like every other venue that is thriving. There are thousands of people that will never subscribe to the cable snake oil, but will pay top dollar for this great show.
