Yeah and I could do with some of that stuff the Night King uses to put a glow in my eyes first thing in the morning :)

I don't know about anyone else, but I found the season finale to be quite satisfying. Things are tied together. Bad characters are still their same old selves. Others finally outthink themselves, and get hustled by the ones they've been hustling all along Some old differences are resolved amicably. Some loyalties change, and for believable reasons. The great war has finally begun.

Things bode well for the final season. It's just too bad it's a season away.

I'm afraid that becoming a Wight will not improve your looks at all. :)

I don't think the wife would be all that bothered just so long as I had the strength and stamina of Vesirion :03:

Overall I give this season an A. From the uncharacteristic cold open of Ep1 to the 80 minute finale, almost everything was superb. I can see how the last season will be a nonstop sprint to the finish, Queen against Queen, dragon against dragon, aunt against nephew... it should be a great closing.

It has been reported that the final season will be six episodes (all feature length) long.

Great news :yeah:

And thus HBO went from a company producing quality shows to the TV equal of Electronic Arts. Gotta milk the cow as much as possible.

They're already half-assing the rest of the primary series' end, and their writing's been rather bad since they ran out of source material to draw from.

Well I've enjoyed every episode thus far so only time will tell.

Here are the runtimes for Season 8

Episode one: 54 mins

Episode two: 58 mins

Episode three: 1 hr

Episode four: 1 hr 18 mins

Episode five 1 hr 20 mins

Episode six: 1 hr 20 mins

Well the speculation for the upcoming season is certainly ramping up.

Some of the more intriguing theories is that the Night King is actually an ancient Stark who was condemned to his icy kingdom courtesy of the Children of the Forest many years ago with a piece of dragon glass in the heart. Curiously the same thing done by the same people to another Stark, Benjen who seems to have remained "human" although we haven't seen him since the super friends expedition in order to save his life.

Boom! Off to a fast start. :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

Boom like in "Boom - another chopped-off head dropping onto the ground" ? :D



(I hope I have not given a spoiler unintentionally, I have not watched the new season and will need to wait until it reaches our free TV here.)

Not a bad episode to commence with. Looking forward to the rest but in particular the third one.
