New HBO Series: Game of Thrones

[Grinch]

Where's two years comimg from?

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Rumours season 8 is 2019.

 

Yea it's pretty annoying, if true. It's hard enough waiting between episodes at times, let alone standard season breaks.

 

Will just make it all the better once it comes back.

That big fan whinge last year about it only being seven episodes long couldn't have been more wrong: it was absolutely fantastic. They were right to go for longer episodes rather than compromise the plot/drama by stringing it out to ten.

[Numero Veinticinco]

I think they could have made 10 without Just stringing it out. The Littlefinger, Stark sisters thing could have been done way better, without reducing littlefinger to a nothing part. The battles could have been more time appropriate . I don’t mind though, it certainly felt like a full season.

What the fuck happened at Castely Rock? Grey Worm has taken it and sees Euron's boats arrive, it's hinted at that shit has hit the fan there and then when we next see Greyworm and the unsullied they are at Kings Landing as is Euron and the whole potential battle is not even mentioned. Surely I've missed something here? Still things are set up nicely for the finale, shame it's likely to be living vs white walkers rather than a legit fight for the iron throne.

So we think Tyrion has made some kind of deal with Cersei as well?

 

[Numero Veinticinco]

Casterly Rock was their ships being destroyed, not a battle with the Greyjoys. They had to walk the rest of the way.

[Remmie]

 

I think the pacing was just weird. Some stuff was rushed through whereas nothing happened at Winterfell for the whole series until the last episode, the Greyjoy siblings storyline was tacked on at the end. Characters such as Bran, Varys, Brienne did a whole pile of fuck all, all season. The simultaneous timeline issues are not unique to this season but seem exacerbated due to rushed pacing.

 

 

But again, I'm just whingeing about some of the finer details, it's still very good. The last season can't arrive soon enough.

[Numero Veinticinco]

No, you’re right Rem. If it had been 10 episodes with the last two as these long ass ones, it would have been an 11/10, but it’s a mere 9.8 from me.

I diagree on that mate. I feel that the plot and storyline could have been improved with a bit more patient pacing. The fact that the reasoning behind the reduced episodes being financial indicates to me that the creators agree.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Only a couple of hours short in the end with the longer episodes, I think it would have helped flesh things out but not change things too much. That said, making TV like this, with these visuals, costumes, cast numbers, etc, must be ridiculously expensive. There’s only so much you can do.

[Jay86]

That was a bit meh from me and I really love the show. I think I was expecting a big battle or the living vs dead now and next season to continue with the iron throne, now as it stands I wouldn't be surprised to see everyone die and the Night King to be on the iron throne at the end.

 

I've enjoyed this season but this didn't feel like a big finale, as some have said quite a fair bit was predictable and quite a fair bit was rushed.

 

*Spoiler*

 

I thought that Cersai gave the order to kill Jamie when she nodded her head and I shouted "fuck no" but it seems she nodded for him to leave. There were no other big shocks or anything like that, I knew LittleFinger was done for when he started looking all smug when they were charging Arya. I don't think I can wait until 2019 for the end of it.

Any decent links to sites that may be streaming this? Exodus isn't working for me. And the site I am currently using is buffering to buggery

Exodus is fucked. Covenant looks the best option at the moment and has loads of working links.

Nice one. Found a site gonna use me MacBook.

[Spy Bee]

Just class!

[TheBitch]

That was boss.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Watched it again. Way better for me, probably because I wasn't half asleep. Still don't love the blue flame.

[RedKnight]

The sight of the Wall coming down was brilliant although what was the Night King's plan if he hadn't managed to snag a dragon? Either way, the final six episodes will be fun.

Me neither but I think the cgi for some sort of ice effect would have looked really shit on their budget.

One thing I dont get is how the hell Cersie found the funds to hire the golden company from the highgarden gold as she put it herself.  Didn't Dany and Drogon destroy it all?  Even Jamie said in the last episode he didn't know how he was gonna tell Cersei all the loot had been destroyed.

 

Am I missing something?

Iron bank is funding her.

[karl1987]

Iron bank is funding her.

 

But they where only gonna fund her once her debts had been settled via the highgarden gold.  But that was destroyed.

It wasn't destroyed.

[karl1987]

It wasn't destroyed.

 

Wasn't it?  Didn't Jamie say to Bronn he didn't know how to tell Cersie it had been destroyed? 

[Special K]

Wasn't it? Didn't Jamie say to Bronn he didn't know how to tell Cersie it had been destroyed?

They made a point of saying the gold was back in King's Landing before the battle started
