Fail out bailed
My biggest OH SHIT moment was probably the red wedding. Didn't see it coming. Didn't know the show was capable of that.

I miss when the show was a little smaller and a little less focused on huge plot turns, but as we careen towards the end I can embrace the spectacle.

I already knew about the Red Wedding before watching the show, so the out of nowhere oh shit moment for me was Joffrey dying

I still cant revisit the Red Wedding. I dont think I've ever been so devastated by any media or entertainment like that. I refuse to do it.

The red wedding blew me away. I didn't see it coming at all. Same with Ned, but that was different. After the red wedding you are kind of expecting every major scene to go that way. Still, there are many minor surprises out of nowhere.

The Red Wedding was bad enough and then they do this shit.

Something about them desecrating his body like that got me so angry.

I had a feeling that was coming. I was still sad since I really loved that character but his overconfidence in the fight was like a death flag that I saw coming a mile away.

I do remember screaming FUCK THIS SHOW for the rest of the night though lol

Yeah man. I fucking die every time something happens to the wolves. The sheer disrespect in that scene just made me feel so goddamn hopeless. Sigh.

What a great season that was but I never want to revisit it lol

Cersei's still a bitch and Tyrion hasn't done anything interesting since he
left King's Landing

Hardly what I'd call the best house.

Cersei being a bitch doesn't preclude her from being the best. She has consistently been the most compelling character on the show, and the season 6 finale further proved that.

Tyrion stopped being interesting in season 5, but those first 4 seasons of his arc were legendary. He had his conclusion back at the end of S4, but it doesn't mean it never happened.

Cersei
Jaime
Tyrion
Tywin
Joffrey

Those characters carried this show on their backs.

Why the fuck is it so hard to renew HBO Now? Like, why can't I just do it on THEIR website? I have to figure out how to do it using my iPhone or something.

[edit]

By the way, is HBO now limited to 720p in chrome like Netflix is?

So, I was trying to see if there's a quality difference between Chrome and Edge, turns out there isn't, but the colors are completely fucked up in Chrome.

MIGUEL SAPOCHNIK DADIRECTOROFDASHOW

Still sad that he didn't direct anything for season 7 (I know he directed something for Altered Carbon, but just 1 episode according to IMDB seems very little in order to not have time for season 7, but there's probably more to it). I really hope he's back for season 8 for at least 2 episodes.

I wish HBO would just make a standalone HBO Now app for the Windows store, like Netflix did.

The villains of this show have had far more interesting arcs than the heroes save for maybe Arya and even her story got dumb last year.

I would give GRRM huge props if he ended the show/books with the white walkers triumphant because humanity couldn't get its shit together. It would also be super relevant given the situation we find ourselves in now.

I imagine a post-apocalyptic Westeros. The Night King doesn't look like he's fucking around.

There would be riots. Not even troll Martin would do that.

People in Essos would be scared shitless of Westeros but they would help with global warming. So it's not all bad.

He should just direct all 6. I imagine it's basically going to be an epic 6 hour movie with the budget of a big blockbuster

So lucky in Canada we have TMN Go for Windows and Xbox One. While still holds the old Windows 8 design the app is super helpful for HBO shows. Only downside is we get live TV shows after it airs on TV.

HBO should port the Xbox app to the Win store. It isn't that difficult.

I don't seen any of those characters dying this season. Maybe in the final season.

They didn't bring back The Hound just to kill him off again right away. Varys is in it til the end. Davos has escaped death too often and is too tragic to die right now. Yara might die in Seaaon 8 but not yet.

I've got my money on Brienne biting it first out of any major characters. Her motivation is pretty much used up, her storyline is done.

Leave her out of the screen just like any normal show. They don't have to kill her character :/
