Game of Thrones SPOILERS

Why did they cut it down to 7 episodes? Because the books haven't been written yet?

They took a 13 episode season, added an episode, and then cut the 14 episodes into 2 seasons.

I guess that makes sense.

So what do you think the chances are of a spinoff? I personally want to see Ned Stark as a young warrior with Robert Baratheon.

Pretty high. There's been a lot of talk of spin-offs and I've always thought Martin's world-building (or maybe I should say myth/history-building) was robust enough to justify more stories told in the world. I'd love to see, as you said, Robert's Rebellion and the events leading up to it. Plus there's the Targaryan's rise to power that could be fun to watch. Honestly, the Stark history and Lannister history could probably each sustain a spin-off. I don't know how many they'd want to do, but there's plenty of material, IMO.

I agree with Minstrel in part. lots of talk about spin offs etc. I believe that the fact that everyone already knows the out come of Roberts rebellion, makes that story a poor choice. As there have been no book to follow, the show quality suffers, as we have seen. Would end up with "Joanie loves Chochi" VS "Happy Days".

A better choice in my opinion, would be to do the Dunk and Egg stories. Several books, lots of familiar characters and great stories.

Has anyone watched the leaked episode yet?

I guess it was accidentally released in Spain for five hours yesterday.

I just watched the latest leaked episode, which is bittersweet, because now I gotta wait like 10 days until the next episode.

You're not going to like the wait after the next episode.

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Great episode!

 

[3RA1N1AC]

zombie dragon gonna tear shit up. damn.

 

[theprunetang]

Not liking the Stark drama. Little Finger needs to go. Yesterday.

 

[Sedatedfork]

I am guessing the Night King rides the undead dragon and the dragon breathes ice.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I was a lot more engaged in the show when it was more like a fantasy-lite version of The War of the Roses. Now that it's gone full video game mode I'm really starting to lose interest.

I think Arya was trying to tell Sansa "If you kill Littlefinger I can wear his fucking face and command his fucking army here's a dagger go kill his ass"

You knew it had to happen sometime though. The last season is basically going to be 2/3 D&D and 1/3 War of the Roses.

I guess so. It's still disappointing.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

It's to the point where you know these people aren't going to die. Which is what made the show so good at the beginning, dudes would just perish out of nowhere.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

And I saw the zombie dragon thing a mile away.

Meh, whatever. Not like I'm gonna stop watching lol.

Littlefinger gone next week. No insider, just a feeling. Arya with the knife. Then she'll have control of the vale army

I can definitely get behind that. I think Clegane Bowl happens next episode as well. Hound vs Mountain.

 

[santeesioux]

Jon Snow is totally nailing his aunt either next episode or very early next season.

I don't think she'll survive to the end though since she can't have kids and the Targaryon name will need to pass on.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I thinkbit happens when someone goes on trial. So not next week

Sounds like you're playing Clue. She gonna off him in the Conservatory or the Kitchen?

I guess it would be the conservatory? Whatever the meeting room is. In front of everyone

I've been thinking the same thing. The show has become as predictable as any other show.

I was bird watching today after the eclipse and saw a Raven. Pretty cool!
