TV: Game of Thrones | Season 8 (Final) | Part IX -TV talk ONLY -NO Books, Spoilers, NO LEAKS

[Siamese Dream]

They just panicked and blew it up because those episodes with Jaime and Bronn in Dorne were the worst rated episodes in the entire series because the Sand Snakes are so cringe

 

[Siamese Dream]

I can never forgive D&D for what they did to Dorne.

Bonu points for casting Alexander Siddig and giving him 5 lines, no development and allegedly offering him a hand shake deal moving forward, and then reneging on it.

Extra bonus points for teasing Areo Hotah's fighting ability and remembering how to use his longaxe, then having him stabbed in the back by a little girl

'Game of Thrones' Final Season to Debut in First Half of 2019

Well at least it will be the first half of 2019...

At first glance at the headline, I thought it said first half of the season and I was...

 

[ThePhoenixx]

I'm ordering HBO just for this. It will be some good times. We will feast and then watch!

Don't give any ideas... I could see a season 8A 2019 then season8b 2020.

Ugh..3 episodes each.

 

[Knave]

For whatever reason I was really disappointed with the last season. I'll finish it up and it's a good TV show but I think I'll be more interested in that spinoff because I really enjoy shows that explore the fantasy world created by an author or director.

 

[LarKing]

Last season moved at like 2-3 times the pace the other seasons do. Dialogue and plot wasn’t quite as well thought out. They really should’ve done the last two seasons of this in 3-4 seasons.

 

[StrangeVision]

I don't even expect that much from this season. At this point I just hope the ending makes sense and is fully fleshed out.

Because they clearly rushed it.

 

[peate]

Well I finally cracked and started season 5. Two episodes in, let's get this show on the road. That's not the Winterfell I remember...big trouble ahead.

 

[LarKing]

Because they clearly rushed it.

Yep. Could’ve easily made two seasons out of the last season. I don’t understand why they’re rushing it when successful shows normally love to milk the product as long as possible.

The show's creators don't want to do it anymore

 

[LarKing]

The show's creators don't want to do it anymore

Ah okay. I guess that’s a different deal then.

 

[MadDevil]

Because they clearly rushed it.

I don't even know if it's that so much as they pretty much have to figure out the problems Martin himself can't seem to figure out. Plus it's gotten away from the political machinations, world building, and character development (which are the strongest parts of both the source material and the show) to a full blown fantasy series with zombies, dragons, and magic.

It was always heading in that direction though

And as much as I've loved every minute of the character development and political plots, I'm ready to see the war between the living and the dead

Obviously you mean Winterhell?

 

[Warden of the North]

Ah okay. I guess that’s a different deal then.

I would also think the cast wants to move on at this point. And they did have to negotiate new deals for S8 IIRC, so that cost would only go up the further it goes.

 

[ecemleafs]

they shudda done full 10 ep seasons. wouldnt have taken more years that the show runners and cast prob didnt want to invest in and it would have provided 7 more episodes to slow things down to the pace that the first 6 season went.

 

[TheAngryHank]

Who wants to party like wildlings?

Party like the Starks at the 2018 Winterfell Festival at Castle Ward

 

[Deen]

I'd like to party with Rose Leslie.

 

[Neutrinos]

I've been re-watching the series and something struck me as odd

6 men of the Night's Watch stab Jon Snow, and yet only 4 members of the Night's Watch are executed for it

 

[Neutrinos]

Gemma Whelan (Yara) doing standup comedy:

Perhaps Jon didnt know who else stabbed him

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Maybe the others were cowards and killed themselves instead of facing the hangman's noose

 

[Blender]

Perhaps Jon didnt know who else stabbed him

He also didn't hang everyone who was involved, which were a lot more than just the ones who stabbed him. I think Davos, Tormund, and Jon only went after the leaders and key parts of the plot.
