Game of Thrones Thread (The Thread is Dark and Full of Spoilers)

At least somehow this debunks the "it's the last season of got" theory. Shame we'd have to wait ANOTHER summer for the final season. (if ever)

It'd be great if they instead filmed one last season with a shorter break in between, rather than a seventh and eighth with a longer gap. But it is what it is. Should still be a fine conclusion to a great show, when it's all said and done.

That's what we all want but it takes time to create a masterpiece so we'll just have to wait.

I suppose it's also good that they're not going to try to wring more out of it than they feel they can. They've been clear that they have an idea as to how many hours/episodes they want to use to tell the story, and that they don't want to try and stretch it out further than that just because the show is popular and making money. Considering how a lot of shows do run beyond their time, that's admirable.

I've read somewhere that they'll be filming late because they needed snow for their shots. I could be wrong.

But it's kinda sad that we're waiting this long for the next season to start and knowing it only has seven episodes instead of what we're used to.

i am fine with the later start but i wish they would just give us a final season of 13 episodes instead of breaking it up into 2 seasons

I read that it was weather-related, too.

Absolutely. Although, it's better than another possible approach that I heard they were apparently considering: a regular ten episode seventh season, and then an eighth season consisting of just three episodes.

My face when you tell me a show that regularly features dragons can't CGI in some snow...

I suppose they want some authenticity in the exterior shots. Or perhaps they want to make things more realistic for John Bradley:

Can't wait.

And at the rate this year is flying by, it probably won't feel like very long until it's here.

Cersei freezing her ass in the Red Keep or a hint of the Night's Queen?

I think it's just a sign that Winter is coming.

Oh yes. It's getting closer.

Oh, here we go. I didn't quite get who Jon slammed to the wall, was that Littlefinger?

Looks like it.

A few years old now, but still great.

Not long now to the new season of Medieval Land Fun-Time World!

At long last...Season 7. Winter is here!

Disappointed that the premiere is only an hour long but... the "Shall we begin" and ""Tell them the North remembers, tell them winter came for House Frey." lines just made this so satisfying to watch. muh goosebumps

Once again, it set the table nicely for the rest of the season. The first scene threw me a bit, until I realised what was going on, at which point I eagerly awaited the payoff. Euron Greyjoy's lines to Cersei about having two hands and "you should try it" (re: killing your own brother) were pretty funny.

Speaking of Euron... have you noticed his outfit? Honestly look like something an emo teen would wear lmao

It does look strikingly modern compared to the other medieval-style costumes, yeah. Cue the "Emo Greyjoy" memes!

episode had a bit of bonds/alliances theme to it, which ones do you guys think will last? the lannister/greyjoy seems the most likely to be broken, but i think that one's going to last.

Although I'm not entirely sure that Sansa is as good at the game as she believes she is, having paid close attention to Cersei and Littlefinger, she has a point about Jon Snow's leadership. He's making the decisions he thinks are right, and they are from a certain point of view, but much like his time as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, he's not doing it in a way that's clever or diplomatic enough. He has a point about not punishing children for the actions of their fathers, but his point about loyalty overlooks Sansa's very valid point about rewarding the loyalty they've been shown in the immediate past. Honour before reason, and all that.

To that end, I could see the North being splintered first, though it would be kind of a rehash of what happened with Robb. Of course, if Jon is going to make the same mistakes, it also makes sense from a narrative perspective that it would play out in a similar way.
