Yeah. That's the downfall. The upside to this author is he gets so many people involved, he can do anything. If Kaleesi got accidently burned to death by one of her dragons, the show could still go on. That's the beauty of it. It gives him all kinds of flexibility. The downside is, we can get a little lost. I've watched season 1 and 2 at least 3 times each. Some episodes probably 5 or 6 times just because I've watched with other people when it was their first time through. I keep my mouth absolutely shut. This is meant to be experienced a certain way. The Author obviously poured his heart and soul into these books and has amazing talent. It's a truly great experience for me and I wouldn't ruin that for anyone else.
A random side-note, one part of the show I find amazing is the introduction. It's a great show intro. It's like listening to the Fox football intro, gets your blood pumping. But it serves another purpose. It's the layout of Westeros and the surrounding areas. A part of this story is understanding the politics and logistics of battle. The map is a needed component. That intro, I don't know if people realize, but it adds to the depth of the show. Sometimes I'll watch the intro 2 or three times, just to get a better feel for locations. The author has things make sense, as far as what places are hot-spots for power. Understanding the layout helps to understand motivation and potential pitfalls.

That map also shows what is going on in the world. In seasons 1 & 2 Winterfell was a big castle and the white tree. Now on the preview it has smoke and ruined buildings with the white tree.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Everyone's still watching this show right?

This season has really disappointed me.
C.H.U.D.
Who else is aroused and sad at the same time that the final season is about to start?
Long live the Imp!
APB, I hate when I know its the last season of a series. If I don't watch it then it will always be new.
Word.
But I gotta watch it. Gotta get it over with so I can finally march to Venezuela. Hopefully this last season is as memorable as Super Bowl 45, not lame, ala the Lost final season.

HOFer
did the little blonde chick lose any weight?
shes been getting a bit chunky imo
Whatcha talking ‘bout? The mother of dragons has always been hot.
Btw, don’t wanna SPOIL anyone’s appetite, but what’s up with the part about Samwell thinking Jon woulda speared his bro? I seem to recall Jon executing a kid in the past.

3rd episode is awesome. Can the finale top the third?
Pretty crazy episode. I hate how HBO compresses the video so much though.

Sorry for your loss APB.

Mediocre writing. The 4th episode has gotta be the worst episode of the season, especially the writing.
For frog’s sake, watch the show already. Only 2 new episodes left.

Since they ran out of books its pretty clear that everything was written in one sitting at a bar. Each episode represents about a .005 increase in BAC. We have George RR Martin to thank for this. Lazy asshole. Probably a porn addiction eh APB?

The first 4 seasons of this show were sensational. My favorite TV of all time. 5-6 started to go downhill, but still had enough brilliant moments sprinkled in to keep me enthralled. 7-8 have been a disaster for the most part. Visually stunning, but writing has fallen off a cliff. Like if Michael Bay took over. The lets go north of the wall to capture a wight to show Cersei-oops we created an ice dragon-oops wall destroyed-but Cersei will still help us fight the zombies-oops no she won't why would she's evil and selfish-storyline is just too dumb for words. I imagine middleschoolers coming up with it. Anyway I keep watching, kind of like how I felt watching the last handful of Packer games last season. I care enough to observe how things shake out, but my hearts not in it and I know I'll end up disappointed and unfulfilled.
