I had planned to pick a date whereby I could watch one episode per day until the season 7 premiere, and then I just thought I'd take a quick revisit of the first episode, and decided I should go to bed at episode 6. :lol:

:lol:

I don't think I payed as much attention as I did to season 1 as the other seasons, because at the time I didn't realise how great the show would be, nor did I understand everything happening.

and then I realised I couldn't remember everything in season 2 and 3 so I thought i'd watch them too:lol:

Tyrion is much better in the earlier seasons too.

Bit of GOT trivia.
The original Mountain Ser Gregor from Season 1 is an Aussie Conan Stevens from Newcastle NSW

In season 3 Melisandre tells Arya they'll meet again.

Tommen's actor plays a Lannister in season 3

He came back to play Wun Wun the giant, too.

Wish they stuck with the original Mountain . He was perfect for the role.
He had that raged look and looks older than Sandor

Also resembled Sandor much more.

+1. If they were walking on the street you would think they were actually brothers.

Game of Thrones to end after season 8 HBO Confirms

[youtube]CnQ8N1KacJc[/youtube]

There's no conceivable way that this is the end of the franchise, surely there'll be spinoff series, etc.

I kinda hope 8 seasons is the end tbh.

Yep, you would think a spin off is a guarantee [-o<

There are so many more stories in the Game of Thrones world that can be told once the main one is wrapped up. It's a sure thing.

Good. I want more

The reason why Breaking Bad was so good was because it actually ended. Hopefully they have some balls and actually definitively end it, wrapping up the character arcs as best they can

My season 1 catchup is complete with this concise chinese dvd slip synopsis.

I think GOT will end but they can do a "War of the Usurper" spin-off. So many costumes and sets designed that it makes sense to do that prequel so that stuff can be reused. Much like BCS and Breaking Bad.

Another spin-off could be the war of conquest.

Im not well versed on all the other aspects of Westeros but I think the story of Roberts Rebellion would be great.
Also the rise of the night king would be good to see. Obviously he has attacked before as some people treat the white walkers as old wives tales.

Night's King origins are over 8000 years before so I doubt they would go that far.

Yep, and then we got Better Call Saul.

I'd love to see a series of feature films chronicling this. They've already cast it, basically.

Old but I hadn't seen it before:

New stuff from the venerable Alt Shift X:

Wow

No real shock but GoT wins Emmys for directing and writing in a drama series, both for 'Battle of the Bastards' as well as winning the Emmy for outstanding drama series. 

Something new to stick on the box sets.

-PB

Too bad they didn't keep the director for that episode for the new season, but kept the one from the Terminator v Jason Bourne scene from the end of the Braavos arc.

Maybe they're saving him for the final season.
