HBO may push Game of Thrones' final season to 2019, and that wouldn't be a bad thing

Quote:
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, HBO programming chief Casey Bloys hinted that the eighth season (only six episodes long) might not air until 2019.

-

The interviewer then asked, more explicitly, "So as of now, the final season could air in 2018 and / or in 2019 depending on their needs?" To which Bloys responded, "Yeah. They have to write the episodes and figure out the production schedule. We'll have a better sense of that once they get further into the writing." It's pretty vague, but it certainly implies that HBO has given Benioff and Weiss permission to take their time.

Though a Westeros-free 2018 would obviously disappoint Game of Thrones fans who can no longer fathom a summer without the show (me, too!), it's possible that it's... a good thing.

They must've let Martin take over the TV schedule as well as writing the books.
God save the Patriarchy!

Well, they said 2019, not 2119.

I'm sure I'll watch whenever, but I have serious doubts about my own attention span.

I think it's a bad sign that they need that much time to figure out the writing.

And, with so many young actors, it's going to look a little odd. I have a feeling Bran's going to need a toupee by the time they wrap this up. And that's assuming they can keep all the main cast together that long.

Don't all heroes have flaws? Isn't that part of the hero's journey in classic literature?

It may not be clear yet if there is one true hero of GoT, but I'm not sure how people don't automatically look to Jon as a hero. They gray area non-hero has become the main trope of serious TV these days. I think we get so used to talking about that on entertainment boards that we're slow to recognize when a show like GoT maybe does have some classic elements of the hero's journey or pilgrim's progress.

*(this comment was in reply to spreadsheet too)
Agree, but very few stories have so many false heroes and false villains...

False Heroes who turn out critically flawed, bad or dead:
  • Eddard Stark - dead
  • Rob Stark - dead
  • Littlefinger (at one time) - thought he might be good, he's not
  • Theon - arrogant but decent, then horrible, then pitiable, now frustrating
  • Renly - meh then dead
  • Jorah - well, he at least gets more and more pitiable
  • Arya - leaning sinister
  • Catelyn - dead
  • Roose - turncloak
  • Frey(s) - turncloacks
  • Stannis - dead
  • Oberyn Martell - dead
  • Tommen - dead
  • Jeor Mormont - dead
  • Robert - dead

So many characters you despise, but either come around or at least have their moments of pity:
  • Jaimie - loves his sister, does some wicked things, but has his reasons; and seems to be becoming somewhat honorable - or at least torn between following his sisters orders and doing bad things
  • Cersei - a real *****, but just loves her kids (and power); felt bad for her treatment by the high sparrow at the end, but she sure made me forget that quickly
  • Tyrion - arrogant jerk at first; really maybe my favorite character now beside Jon
  • Varys - sneaky and arrogant, but ultimately maybe the most loyal
  • Sansa - such a dopey little girl, but finally learning to play the game and show some strength
  • Jeoffery - nope nevermind; except that maybe I can see how he turned out that way with THAT mother

that's because you haven't listed the REAL hero.....that is going to wipe out ALL of these terrible human beings.....



Unless HBO utilized the 8 seasons show to teach us we should preserve nature...

I don't understand the Littlefinger hate.

Ned Stark was stepping on his own dck and LF tried to help, then got out Neds way when Ned made the wrong decision.

Then he endears himself to Tywin, doing the bid of the crown to climb the latter.

He kills Joffrey. Causing the end of Tyrions career, tywins life, and free sansa.

He then betrays the Lannisters to solidify his alliance between North and the Vale.

The dude is the best player in the game. His actions when look at objectively: punish the villains of the show.


He didn't "get out of Ned's way," he lied to and back stabbed Ned by having the city guard join with Cersei.

Having Joff killed didn't free Sansa, either. Just switched who had control of her...to himself. Not to mention "ending Tyrion's career" is probably the worst thing that happened for the good of King's Landing and the realm.

Dude is straight evil.

Anybody else wish they would invest a few hundred thousand bucks and a few hours of the actors' time to re-shoot scenes with characters that were re-cast and create a continuity version? Forget the Lannister kids, just do Beric from S1, Daario from S3, and The Mountain from S1-S2. And now maybe the Tarley brother since they re-cast him after a whole 2 months.

As someone who re-watches the show a couple times each year, I can appreciate the desire to have better continuity of actors. It's always so weird seeing Tommen playing a Lannister cousin one season and the striking difference in the actors who play Daario.

However, even not knowing a thing about film production, I can't imagine it being as simple as a few hundred grand (which will never be pocket change to any TV studio, even HBO or Netflix) and "a few hours of the actors' time." The latter especially, since makeup and costuming alone, not to mention travel to Spain, Ireland, etc, learning lines, the sets being rebuilt to the specific season's details, etc are going to take days if not weeks.

That's not entirely accurate. His killing of joffrey was simply for the sake of chaos. He admitted to sansa it didn't help him, the play was a man with no motive arouses no suspicion.

I can't wait to see if Sansa gives birth to Ramsay's son this season. I really hope they don't make us wait another whole year. It would be crazy if the little guy kills her in childbirth. No telling what kind of monkey shines he'll get into!

Additionally, Littlefinger told Sansa that every decision he made had one goal; to place him on the Iron Throne. If anyone thinks killing Joffrey didn't serve that purpose, they should go back and rewatch last season.

I think it'll be a year and a half so the final Winter battles are during Winter.

Without going back and rewatching, was that the Willie Nelson white walker with the spear thing? I though Jon already killed that one.
