Why We Like It S1 E1 - Game of Thrones

[@troyjuan06]

This was really awesome! I love Game of Thrones and to hear you guys talk about it in such a way is really refreshing and it's making me want to read the books over again. I can't wait for the next episode.

[@kaostheory1050]

I found this incredibly enjoyable. Got me to stay up til 3am to finish watching. You had some really great insights into Martin and storytelling in general. I very much look forward to watching future episodes.

[@cromusz]

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for putting it together.

[@MONOBLACKMAGIC]

Sean seams more relaxed than a regular daily. I think its good that he does these kind of things where he doesnt need to "prepare" or "deliver". Good stuffz!

[@Banzai4ever]

Yes!! This is so awesome, I would not mind more episodes of that series in the near future! :)

[@janissnikers6686]

I bow my head in gratitude, Mr. Plott. A very nice piece, expecting more tomorrow or very soon at least.

[@xCJES]

"LittleFOOT and the eunuch" LMAO! I pictured a young long neck scheming amongst Kings Landing! Great episode guys, I especially enjoyed Tristan's knowledge on the novels!

[@HeddaPadda]

This is awesome. You could probably talk about anything and it would still be interesting, and Game of Thrones doesn't exactly make it worse. Do many more, I will watch them all!

[@Ecsttazy]

Loved the show. Ill keep watching as long as you keep delivering =)

[@LastGladius]

This is so awesome, we require more of them now.

[@YikesAwkward]

This was very good. That hour flew by quite quickly.

[@Mnkjiffy]

love this so much, please keep doing these.

[@GodleyBeast]

That was awesome! I must watch both seasons again now!!

[@666Tempy]

Amazing !! Loved it, will definitely continue to watch this show :)

[@jedimaxawa]

Awesome. Looking forward to the stories about Harry Dresden and Ultimate Frisbee!

[@TheJewrassic]

My favorite person talking about my favorite show! Take that studying for finals!

[@Taliana]

this was GREAT! do more! looking forward to them :D

[@basJonas]

This was awesome in a intellectually satisfying way! This series is a fantastically good idea!

[@CrippledMerc]

Couldn't have picked a better show to kick off this series! I can't wait for you guys to do season 2 and to see what the coming episodes will be.

[@enbyglitch]

Love it!! And would love another show on season 2 when it comes out ^^ Keep it up :D

[@MrDTsDonuts]

little finger and varys have possibly the best story lines. So intelligent and mysterious and grabbing. LOOK AWAY IF YOU HAVENT READ ALL THE BOOKS the fact that they both have controlled effectively everything that has happened since the start is just incredible. So well done

[@FunnyWolfDude]

I've been waiting for something like this from Day9 forever! and its amazing =D definitely moar!!!!

[@bobtoalien]

I enjoyed this greatly. Can't wait for more!

[@Falconhaxx]

Loved it, please do more of these.

[@traingoesweee]

Ive not yet watched this completely, but Day[J] could do whatever and i would gladly devour it and continue living by his holy words. I love you Day9 S2.

[@amcmillion3]

Great analysis of the first book and season. I hope there will be more about ASOIF.

[@Jabadamazo]

I loved it because not nearly enough authors are writing novels stressing these things which the average person lacks, or they are doing it poorly.

[@pedefromtwitch9370]

This was great! More please!

[@AndrewJDJepson]

when i finally ran out of videos to watch in the middle of the night, this popped up on my screen with an angelic voice heard off in the distance! thank you internet gods... thank you

[@entityofone]

A great way to keep track of what is going on where in the books is to keep the interactive map from HBO open in chrome on ipad, and visually you can see what is going on and where people are going. Another great feature if you do use kindle app to read the books is the definition feature to help to understand so much of the old-english wording that the author uses.

[@bigbakaboon]

this is awesome. mainly because i just marathon'd the 2 seasons in anticipation of the 3rd in march.

[@7h380x]

A great idea. I've long wanted videos of you just talking about anything not Starcraft related :b Although I enjoy Starcraft, I enjoy your personality even more, so thumbs up from me :D

[@Drendude]

I watched 20 hours of game of thrones because this popped up in my feed. No regrets at all

[@everupward594]

good stuff- i enjoyed it. i would love for you both to talk about walking dead!

[@Delta234]

I love these books and I love this commentary. Please, more!

[@dannydecker108]

Can't believe I spent an hour watching you two go on about GoT, but I did. I enjoyed the show... do more!

[@UnwrittenNoise]

Do more of these. And I really wouldn't mind more Game of Thrones related episodes of this series either.

[@Anonymous0364]

This is great. The idea of having this as a podcast (or available as a podcast with some audio commentary of the visuals) will work. Tristan needs to relax!

[@AphasiacRaccoon]

Thank you Sean for doing EVEN MORE AWESOME STUFF!

[@Phistolemon]

please do another hour or several on game of thrones. loved this! I really wanna know your guys' opinion on the other books (I'm reading the 4th right now).

[@ddinoboy]

game of thrones is top notch stuff, thanks for doing this

[@mkloske]

Great show! Can't wait for more:)

[@loxamol]

Oh my God. Day[9] and Game Of Thrones in the same video. Gotta love it

[@nevadie133]

Hahaha Sean, "They could be talking about tea for 2,000 pages, but if zombies were to storm in and eat everyone I would be like, 'WHAT A PAYOFF' " HAHAHAHAHA I love this. I love hearing Day 9 and his buddy discuss this, they're so intelligent.

[@LawrenciuM709]

Fantastic, please do lots more!

[@sircamembert]

As an aspiring amateur writer, I applaud this new series. Keep it up! =)

[@ireadulisten]

Thank you for posting this. My stupid ass friend who kept putting down GoT finally decided to give it a chance.

[@jollyrayda]

Keep this one, Sean - it's a really good concept for a show. It helps, of course, that you started with the awesome that is GOT... :)

[@benjaminjosephsarile4454]

just happy to hear what day9 has to say about game of thrones..

[@brippie]

When I watched my first daily, the Akira books in the background gave day9 instant nerd cred. This guy knows his shit beyond SC I am truly impressed.

[@SensicalOxymoron]

They grew up together, fought wars for one another. Robert even said to Ned that Ned had been more of a brother to him than either of his real brothers.

[@raekwonthachef]

Wish this was longer, so much to talk about! xx

[@MeloDeath31]

loved it! is this going to be a weekly thing?

[@flyingfool]

I love how Tristan's cat is always only slightly in frame

[@Ikutzu]

I like how Tristan says "When I'm not being Seans friend" like Peter Parker would say, "When I'm not Spider-Man".

[@concrete_dog]

This is very interesting! I love watching the series, but many of these things they talk about, I feel them, but I just never really realize them.

[@Maradiaga23]

Great video, I hope you make more

[@nomeaka]

Finally something different!! more please!

[@nikkenwannab]

MORE TRISTIAN! Love his input. Really smart and insightfull guy, Loved it.

[@howlingarmadillo]

That cat's tail is completely hypnotic.

[@Pangora2]

Funny and nice to heard about the depth and all that~!

[@geeconomics]

hey day9, nice show! really like it when you branch out into non-sc2 content, it doesn't detract from your sc2 brand imo. how about patrick rothfuss' "name of the wind" for a future episode? keep up the great work! (and don't overwork!)

[@experimentalistify]

the characters that got me wanting more are the outcast jon snow, little arya and of course the dragon queen dinares. but at the same time, I keep on watching/reading waiting for sansa and geoffrey to die. which is also impelling in a different way. very well written.

[@1410yd]

I like how the background is just the day[9] overlay with the logo blacked out.

[@PlayL4us]

QQ all over the place. Day9 has explained in a previous D9D why theres no funday monday. Let him do what he does, because that when he does it best. This was awesome aswell. :D

[@DanHink4]

I could listen to them talk about Game of Thrones for 5 straight episodes

[@manicka111]

The fabled Tristan finally making an appearance :)

[@carayof]

Thak you day9! you just found another way for me to be late with my assignments...

[@elektrikblu7331]

My favorite part of the saga is that there basically is no "Good Guy" or "Bad Guy". Each chapter is written from a specific character's perspective and the entire "Good/Bad" spectrum shifts accordingly. It took a while to get used that though.

[@CaNNo92]

Liiterally just wrote a 7 page paper on a Semiotic Analysiis of Game of Thrones, this was excellent.

[@EnzoCroft]

Anyone else play this like a radio show? Play a game and then listen to this in the background? I think I am going to download the next one and listen to it while running or walking next time.

[@manofwar9307]

KITTEH!!! there's a kitty cat in Tristan's camera and I can't stop watching it!!!

[@KeezySerr]

love the show Day9 and Tristan !! more please MORE MORE MORE

[@wdqgdf]

Just noticed this show on your channel, and I'll totally re-subscribe (stopped since I haven't played sc2 in ages) if you continue with it. It would be really awesome if you guys would decide on a story in advance, so that we viewers could go through it before the episode!

[@BlunderfulGuy]

In the Sword of Truth series, Terry Goodkind would begin chapters with a new character's perspective by purposefully not telling you who they are and instead letting you get a feel for who they are first. This is great and something that I definitely enjoy, however, I believe in George R. R. Martin's books, since there are so many characters that you must keep track of because of how the story is, giving the characters name with the chapter is very good and certainly necessary.

[@niceprofile-k6i]

this is great love it!

[@MLATX512]

That's neat that you guys put out a video about how you like a book that came out in 1996. You guys going to tell us what you like about the movie Jerry McGuire up next? WTG

[@RekijanME]

I want to hear more of these guys talking about Game of Thrones.

[@kelling90]

how did you set the screen up to be two screens like that?

[@LetTheNewDayBegin]

Great Show! I think it will evolve nicely.

[@Jabadamazo]

That's precisely what makes Sword of Truth so great; it's not just a sword and sorcery fantasy series, it's so much more. It's a comment on the evils of religion and superstition, and how capitalism is superior to socialism. Goodkind has the ability to portray those themes through a fantasy novel that manages to stay incredibly interesting until the very end, and that is what I find masterful. I've heard that wheel of time is REALLY tedious to read, but I should give it a shot.

[@Hells727]

Who cares about everyone loves something, everything is absolutly awesome.

[@gwemlins]

This should be a podcast!

[@selaI3]

I really like your thought about the book good job1

[@HippopotamusPencil]

Though I clearly (now) see your point, I believe this is not actually a feature which necessarily pushes it down the path of tv-series (or film for that matter). I view it as more an effort to keep some things hidden. A lack of focus on the dialogue, and as such an increase of nuance (as you aptly call it) would not only let the plot be shown more clearly (and deprive us of mystery) as well as remove the very realistic nature which allows us to really "live" the narrative.

[@HenrikTheAwsm]

This is the greatest thing ever, of all time...

[@rhys132]

Brilliant show Idea, and as a fan of GoT/AsoIaF I love listening to people geek out about it

[@TheRichardlin23]

please do more of these!

[@flawl3sslogic]

I'd love to hear your take on Legend of Korra (or Aang)

[@anamemana]

Everyone in ASOIAF starting at Winterfell reminds of all the major characters meeting in Rivendel in LOTR.

[@skelithify]

David Eddings is the greatest fantasy author for me. Ive read all his work like 3 times (18 books?). And I dont even like to read :) Such an underrated author. Hope someday one of his worlds will be televised or even cinema.

[@mrimover18forsuremhm]

This is an awesome series! My two cents would be to do a show about Firefly.

[@kdisanjh]

this is an awesome idea for a show!

[@toddgreener]

So, I'm sure this analysis has already been made, but they didn't say it in the show so I have say it: I'm pretty sure the reason Ned dies is because Martin wanted to make a story with no heroes, but no matter what he did someone would always be seen as "the hero character" because we just want and expect to do that. His solution was to allow you your hero, and then show you, "Hey, this story has no heroes."

[@alphaXdragon]

A Storm of Swords is my favorite book ever! must read before Season 3 of the TV show cause season 3 is a Storm of Swords

[@hodlismodsvorson5487]

Anyone else laugh when Sean called Littlefinger "Littlefoot" and Robert Baratheon Ned's brother.

[@delaCruzExchange]

Might not be taking suggestions but, "The Wire" would be interesting to see your takes on it.

[@schiegirl]

Would love to have a separate feed for this if this becomes a regular thing.

[@antonehmac]

Please do an episode on Akira, I'd love to hear that discussion!

[@nurkadurka]

Not only with people with handicaps will relate to Tyrion but as the black sheep of my family I relate to him the most =D
