    If Bronn dies I riot! And by riot I mean get drunk, yell at the tv, and pretend the episode never happened.

    well we finally have an air date so that means planning out the epic rewatch! if i counted right then watching an episode a day starting from the 6-7th of Feb will take me right up to the new season. will i be able to keep to just one episode per day? will i miss days and have to double up? only time will tell.

    Pretty sure that trailer
    The Jon statue isn’t representing a older Jon. The beard looks fuller because otherwise, it can’t be depicted without looking goofy.

    It's kinda hard for me to find the hype for Season 8.

    Ever since they ran out of book material and decided to wrap up the show in a hurry, the writing has suffered pretty badly.

    I mean a lot of the stuff in Season 7 was just dumb.

    I'll still watch, of course.

    But I am not as enthused as I might once have been.

    The show is not as good as it was. But at least this way we'll get an end to the story, since GRRM will clearly never finish it.

    Season 7 is was very obvious they had one major bulletpoint from GRRM for that ep and they wrote backwards to squeeze it in.

    Gendry don't need no boat, last season proved he's the fastest man alive with that sprint back to the wall.

    The show has shifted from adaptation to variation to Cultural Spectacle and in that vein I still really enjoy it.

    I feel like GRRM painted himself in a corner and instead of a finely complex tapestry in the novels we've gotten a National Lampoon's style ball of twisted Christmas lights.

    I just think a lot of the fun of this kind of show is thinking and speculating about all the possible outcomes, and as the narrative accelerates toward its end the spectrum of outcomes steadily narrows. The eventual single remaining ending is inevitably less interesting than the sum of everything previously imagined.

    I mean, say what you will about the show, it's got some of the best/most horrific twists on storytelling I've seen in a show.

    Most recently with holding doors and such. God damn that was haunting.

    What’s going on with that picture?

    Is he standing off a stage or something or is Kit Harrington really that short?

    It’s not that he’s short per se, he’s just standing next to a pair of giantesses

    He is both A) relatively short for a dude (though probably taller than me) and B) Sophie Turner and Gwendoline Christie are both very tall ladies

    I know Gwendoline is over 6 feet.

    Google says Kit is 5’8 and Sophie is 5’9.

    Must be some high ass heels or something, cause that sure as shit isn’t an inch between them. There’s less distance between Sophie and Gwendoline than Sophie and Kit.

    Edit: Siri really hates Gwendoline’s name.

    Chess pieces of all the main characters.

    The last scene of the show will be GRRM sitting and playing chess against Sam Darnold, quarterback for the Jets, in a very cozy, comfortable den with a lit fireplace. Sam wins and GRRM sits back, says “finally, you guys win.”

    Then a dragon eats them both.

    Credits.

    I thought the reveal of it was awesome and showed the contrast of the show to typical care free fantasy worlds.

    Also, I like some of the dily dily commercials

    The one I enjoyed did have people shooting arrows into people so maybe there is truth here
