You Saw This Coming of the Day: Game of Thrones Premiere Downloaded Over 1M Times
With more than 4.2 million downloads per episode, Game of Thrones was the most pirated television show of 2012. However, less than 24 hours after the HBO epic fantasy show’s third season premiere, TorrentFreak reported the episode had already been downloaded more than a million times, with one torrent having more than 160,000 simultaneous connections. No torrent has had that many connections since September 23rd, 2008, when more than 144,000 people downloaded the third season premiere of Heroes at once.
TorrentFreak also broke down the locations of the pirates, finding that Australia had the highest piracy rate while London had the highest concentration of pirates amongst major cities. Despite the massive amounts of downloads, the television premiere saw 6.7 million US viewers, despite airing against The Walking Dead’s season finale.
One of those major moments is an event so notorious that it has a name. Since the name gives away what happens, some fans use the initials. But to dissuade anybody from Googling the initials, the producers won’t even utter those (and neither will we). “I’ve never seen the crew so emotional,” Benioff says about shooting what he calls the “Scene Which Shall Not Be Named.” “If the scene has that effect on the people making it who know what’s coming, if they’re that overpowered, I think it’s going to have an overwhelming effect on people watching it.

I said to the waitress, ‘I don’t know what I’m going to go for,’ and the waitress jumped in with the line [‘You know nothing, Jon Snow’]. It was very funny; it was perfect timing. I gave her a high five. Actually, I wanted to give her a high five, but it would have been incredibly lame if I did.
