Season 4 came out on Bluray this week.
I picked up one of the special cases at Best Buy. I was looking for Martell but they only had Stark, Targaryan, and Lannister. I would have taken the Stark case, but it was the shoddiest looking of the three. The bigger thing is that they had a free dvd in there with some production documentaries; I haven't looked at that yet.
(Yeah, I know that pic says "Third Season," but my box actually does say -- and contains -- "Fourth Season.")
Since I was watching bad-quality streams the night after the HBO airing, it's been nice to actually pop in a bluray and see a high-quality image where I can see all the details + hear all the dialogue adequately.
I ended up watching episodes 6 + 7 tonight and will watch 8 and some of 10 later.
It was fun watching Tywin try to manipulate everyone to get what he wants, then watch Tyrion have his heart gouged out by Shay and then go on the verbal rampage.
Or watch Balish close off Episode 7 with probably the cruelest words he has ever uttered.
...And gosh, i've missed Varys.
EDIT: Oh, I don't know if people picked this up on first pass. But in episode 8, Balish is telling Robin Arryn that people die even when they don't leave home. They might die in bed, they might die when eating at the table... and they might even die squatting over their chamberpot.

Anyway, with two months remaining or so, and now with the news that some people alive in the book will die on the show...
... maybe we can make our own public "kill list" (AKA Arya) of which regulars we think might bite it this season? We have two months to ponder before things start up.
