When's a real preview going to come? Can't wait. Maybe the most excited I've been for a TV Season.
I'm looking forward to it. It's almost certainly going to be an emotional ride to see this come to an end. However, my expectations are somewhat in check this time around. That last season was pretty rough.

Pure promo, no plot details.
I love it. This is the kinda fantasy cheese I can get behind.
Oh yeah, the fantasy thrones game!Quoting Spinal (view post)
Looking sweet as hell and so cinematic. Can't wait! Hope Cersei dies!

This'll be so cheesy and I can't wait.
Who's making book on an ambiguous ending / outro?
Supposedly, this season will have the epic battle to end all battles. Cast members speak of a hugely unpleasant ordeal to film.

While I'm sad that this season is shorter on episodes overall, I'm sort of giddy that we're basically going to be getting a new Game of Thrones movie every weekend for like 6 weeks.

Took 11 weeks to film, which is insane. Obviously in harsh conditions.Quoting Morris Schæffer (view post)
I hope this doesn't end on a Marvel style team-up battle against CGI baddies, but I guess that's inevitable. I'm guessing that's why George RR Martin has had so much difficulty finishing the series. The existence of the white walkers was always more interesting as pure allegory in a larger tale about moral ambiguity and power politics. Finishing the series with a clean good-vs-evil standoff feels like the antithesis of the complexity he captured earlier in the story, but it's also the most logical conclusion based on what's been foreshadowed. Hopefully, there are at least a few interesting turns along the way.

I want this to end with most everyone dead and Tyrion to stumble to the throne and plop up there with a fat bev, pregnant pause..."fuck it, I'm king". Cut to black, roll credits.
I'm thinking more a "Freddy vs Jason" style ending, one where every fan walks away satisfied no matter who they were rooting for.
I don't think they will risk alienating part of the audience by having a high body count and a clean winner. They'll want viewers to feel good about Martin's universe so they can sell the upcoming prequel / spin-off.
Like, I'll be very surprised if all the Lannisters die and Dragon Lady sits on the throne with Jonny Boy as Queen Consort.

My thought is that the remaining Starks survive, but no dragons and a lot of favorites gone. Humans prevail, but remain the worst enemy as Cersei still sits on the throne.
After last season, I'm honestly looking forward to His Dark Materials more than this.

I'm looking forward to it being over and not in the news more than anything, to be honest.

HBO going all out to see what will replace this afterwards with His Dark Materials and Watchmen.

We're going to do thematic dishes with my friends to watch this. Today we are having Samwell Tarly's Pig Breastplate. We're obviously going to have to do a Hot Pie day and Robert Baratheon's Roast Lamb.
What is Sansa planning?
Good first ep. John Bradley did exceptional work in a short amount of time.
