I hear they're bringing back John From Cincinatti to replace Game of Thrones.

On a side note, I think Breaking Bad has set a terrible precedent about splitting the last season.
quote:man, that show had some potential and then bam- gone!

I find your misogynistic comment to be belittling and quite insulting. I have flagged it as offensive and encourage others to do the same.
She was not a princess, she was the Queen!
quote:Very true. I'd personally like to see stories that have litte/nothing to do with the Starks. The ancient battles between CotF, WW, and first men would be pretty awesome. My personal favorite would be if HBO made a prequel series about the original Azor Ahai and his great battle against the Others. His story has some known aspects but alot of untold mysteries. HBO could have a blank slate.
The challenge with the spin-off is that you really have to break far enough away to where outcomes are more unknown. Not to say George Lucas didn't completely **** up Star Wars prequels because he did, but I do think there is a lot of difficulty in capturing viewers fully when they know the ultimate outcome of the story and characters. But I do think some sort of more ancient GOT story/spinoff could work.
That said, I don't see HBO going there. Just not their style. They'll take the next risk on something different.
quote:It would be something new for HBO because they typically don't do that kind of thing. I'd watch if they did though.
Better Call Saul has done an amazing job with creating a story you're invested in with or without having seen Breaking Bad. I'm hoping HBO can pull off something similar in the same world as GOT

HBO has officially confirmed R+L=J (in case anyone was still holding out that they only confirmed that Lyanna is the mother)

So bran pretty much created Hodor. Is it possible he inadvertently created this mess too and the series finale is him fixing his mess to unite the houses against the night king?

Time travel is a nightmare and I wish they never would have introduced it.

Doubtful. Its not that they care about the number of episodes, its the time. They said 70-75 hours so if they choose to do it in 73 hours its 13 episodes.

Yes, it's a plus with their family
quote:I just wish they would do a 13 episode super season instead of a split season. I'm sure it would be difficult to complete all of the production for these last episodes though due to all of the things that have to happen.quote:that could be how you end up with slow, boring, poorly written episodes.
...if you have 13 hours, why not come up with 7 more if you want 2 more seasons?!

quote:Part of the reason for shortening the seasons is production time. They're scrambling to get 10 episodes done in the time they have now. The last thing they want to do is add more episodes.quote:I just wish they would do a 13 episode super season instead of a split season.
