Man those bonus videos are really great.
I really didn't know about the Andals and why the Starks are so important as Northerners. If there's ever a spin off for it, Id absolutely love to see the First Men stuff

Season 7 feels very rushed. I want them to take their time.

Yeah, I'm just saying that's where Theon's head is at. Thinking about Yara.
It's pretty much exactly what she did. I mean we're not even reading these scenes out of context lol.
"We have to save out brother, we have to take Winterfell back from the Boltons!"
*Right before the battle*
Jon: "What about Rickon?"
Sansa: "Oh him, he was dead the minute he was handed to Ramsay."
Jon,
That was my reaction as well. Good intentions or not, she should have been more honest with Jon.
At least she regretted not telling him about the KOTV and Littlefinger, Sansa's still a good person.

Because it is all things considered an incredibly jarring shift in pacing.
Shit. Well, I can live with a September release, but a 2019 release would suck so much especially if shit gets leaked waaaaaay ahead of it.
Confirmation there that Jaime is in Season 8, of course.
This season will be very light on character deaths when it's over.
Season 8 will be a bloodbath, I presume.

Bruh said cardboard! Lol
I wonder if the complaints of the rushy nature of this season will make HBO go back to D&D and ask them if they'll film/write more. Because let's be honest, no GOT/TV fan will ever forgive them if they fuck up the ending of GOT, which is looking more and more like this will answer for both show and book fans, in order for them to get to the series that no one wants, Confederate. I mean, they're starting to hear the 'rushed plot' complaints now, aren't they?
The scripts have been written and they're storyboarding it now. They start filming in October so they're not going to go back and write for the sake of fan outcry. Season 8 is an episode shorter, but they will be much longer. With that said, this season could have done with one more episode to fill in the holes.

Just so I'm clear there are no circumstances -- even using 100% spoiler tags -- under which discussing the leaked episode is allowed, right?

Yep. I already had it spoiled that Tormund and Jon finally have a steamy lovemaking scene.
Oh, crap.
Yeah hopefully the episodes are all 90+ minutes. That would definitely make up for anyone not thrilled about the cutdown of episodes.

Not even the half of it, that sudden recast of Danny Devito as the Night King caught me completely off guard
Discussion about leaked material is completely banned and not welcome here. There are reddit subs that cater to and delves into that type of discussion.

Night King has a scene where he makes Jon Snow pay the troll toll.
Well it's probably colder than ever north of the wall now. The guys will have to find some way to stay warm. The fate of the world may depend on it.
Thinking of a response to this had me rethink some stuff and come to the conclusion that I can't figure out Sansa true motivations. Maybe I'm overthinking it now lol. I DO think the Rickon thing was a manipulation, but now I'm not so sure about withholding the Vale army from Jon. Knowing the results of Blackwater, Ramsay, and Winterfell withstanding sieges, it's just as possible she withheld the info to help Jon win the battle.
That's what we all expected out of her after the Lysa Arryn situation, and her starting to wear all black remember? But then season 5 happened and she became a victim again...

I think this season has been amazing. Arguably my favorite(so far). However, if they don't at least show Euron or Theon again this season, I have to admit I'll be a little annoyed.
Euron made the grandest of entrances and had a huge role early in the season and he has since disappeared. Theon as well. If the final two episodes go by without even showing them, especially since they are extended episodes, that would be disappointing to say the least.

Euron I can understand... But Theon? He was at Dragon stone to ask for the Queens help.
Queen returned and now Theon went where, exactly?
Eh Euron seems like a pretty boring/one dimensional character used to push components of the story forward. I think he's been the been the one super uninteresting character they've done in S7 (although the stuff with Cersei is pretty cool). Not too far off Ramsay, IMO. Not BAD, just not compelling.
I'm glad they're showing more interesting/important stuff.
I totally agree that it's arguably the best season they've ever done (this is being said as even as I'm rewatching the series for the first time). Yeah, the content is juicy, but they've handled it damn near perfectly, considering the time/episodic constraints.
I've absolutely no basis for this, just something I was thinking about randomly.
What if defeating the Night King causes the magic to revive people to no longer function?
Say, Jon defeats the Night King, but because he has been resurrected in the past, he too would have to die (along with Beric if he was still around at the time) because the magic no longer worked.

that could be could, i was about to say that since the magic that revived jon is the opposite of the magic that revives the wights, it couldnt happen, but if we see things as yin and yang, it makes sense
Totally forget about this scene
Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder
I dunno why Bran would say the ladder thing to LF, but at least it feels a little less random now.

Interesting thought. But I've always thought of the magic to go only as far as to bring the person back to life. Now that he's living, there's no magic actually working inside of him.
I could be completely wrong on that, that's just my take though
:S, well, he said to let know little finger, he knows everything....
it was never random :s, its a pretty straightforward scene
that is that would be could about it, the lord of light is supposed to fight "the other" a dark god or something, if the night kings turns out to be that god, well, symbosis and yin yang and shit.
would be cool, now that i think about it

I'm lost about whether Night King is a god or serves a death god.
Also confused by what Jon and Beric are considered. Lord of Light's Wights or more like the... Day King. Fighter of the Night King. Champion of the Lord of Light. He's a master of sword fighting and friendship for everyone.

FFX spoilers
Defeat the bad guy and the protag dies eh?
"Yuna, I have to go."
Breaks my heart.
Yup and they're always up on the official GoT YT channel immediately after too.

It's shit and lazy. Makes me question the decision for only 7 episodes this season, it's removing a lot of impact some of these scenes are supposed to have. When Jaime eventually returned to kings landing after he got captured by Rob Stark it felt like he had gone though a whole journey that changed him as a character. Now characters are basically popping up in different location with nothing showing us that time has passed.
It feels like they are rushing through things cause of a limit they put on themselves.
Crossing Eden
Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
I feel in some way they're using it to their advantage. Like they hit us with the Dany already being gone reveal and the Hound and Brothers without Banners getting captured by Tommen offscreen reveal. Trying to think about things that would actually benefit from travel times besides things like the Dorne girls dying

I agree that this season feels a little like checklisting, though lazy's definitely not the word I'd use.
But regarding the teleporting. When the young brother of the NW was attacked by WWs ran from the Wall to the outskirts of Winterfell, did you know how much time had passed?
Or Stannis appearing just in the nick of time to save the Night's Watch from the Wildlings? What about Littlefinger's trip from KL to the Vale then back again at KL?
There are other examples, point being, chronology's always been an issue with this series. Yes it's more jarring now, but it is not new.
With some characters we got to follow their journeys, while with other characters we had to be told where they were going and suddenly they'd appear.
Got no excuse for Euron though.
Why is it taking Grey Worm so long to get back?
The lord of light seems to be a dick tho. His priests and priestesses try to do sacrifices just to see visions they seem to misinterpret anyway. I kinda want them to be following the evil god without knowing it.
because they've got no ships?
Because they're holding down their new castle?
Why can't they fast travel?

They are walking, and they weren't immediately ordered back. Tyrion even says in episode 4 that they could order the unsullied to march on kings landing meaning they were still at the rock.
