But if they have 26m viewers at $10 per month over 2 months.
That's 520m, for a show as special as this they should allow for a larger budget as it certainly earns them the dough.
They have more than Game of Thrones to give money to, lots more shows, and other financial obligations.
True, it's still a lot of pie though, throwing in just another 100m could go a long way.
How? One thing Game of Thrones is praised for is its spectacle.
Don't get me wrong, I love the show. But a lot of parts have either been cut or cut short due to budget constraints, season 2 for example could have easily been made into 2 seasons or better yet just longer seasons.
A lot of parts were cut, because they didn't matter overall to the story. How in the world would you have made Season 2 into two seasons? Clash of Kings is barely longer than the original Game of Thrones book. If you were going to argue about seasons that should have been longer, you could argue Season 5, that way they don't screw up a bunch of plots and still can include Faegon.
Almost posted about this in the no book spoilers thread by accident. They're talking about Bran's wedding dress comment and the creepiness. I was going to say that it works better for the book version of the treenet where he sees through the weirwood tree eyes. She got married in the godswood so of course he would have seen that but not be assumed to also know what happened after.
Though the whole topic just makes me think how awful it was that they had Sansa marry Ramsey in the first place. It made zero sense for her or Littlefinger's character. And even if Ramsey's violence as well as forcing Theon to watch couldn't be anticipated she knew what to expect on her wedding night. They turned her into a victim again but then expect us to believe that this is the same woman that Robett Glover wants in charge.
Sansa marrying Ramsay made sense up until the season finale. Littlefinger did not know much about Ramsay, so he didn't know she would be in danger. Now you can argue that Littlefinger should have known, but that's just semantics. Littlefinger was supposed to show up at the end of Season 5, (as he tells Cersei), but disappears from the plot, because they had Jon takes Stannis's plot in Season 6. The original "marry Sansa to Ramsay and play both sides" plot was fine. It was the second half of the season where Littlefinger doesn't show up to defeat Stannis (and then the Boltons), does the plot begin to suck. And how the hell should she have known what to expect on her wedding night? She thought there was no one worse than Joffrey. Also although she was made a victim to Ramsay, she didnt loose hope and kept fighting to free herself. That's not a bad storyline.
It's looking like S8 will probably air Fall 2018, but it could be as late as early 2019. They haven't announced anything official yet.
Why did they have Season 7 so late this year?
