Wanting to break the constraints placed up on them by birth & chance Ĥ. Our grand finale has to build on the main characters:ģ. The thing to keep in mind is: now all 7 years have been building up to the grand finale. However, the poor execution of Episode 6 smacks much more of taking too much time rather than taking too little.Īt any rate, a big reason why so many “predictable” things happened this year is that the show (and the books) has been building towards them for years. Sure, the execution might be a little better or worse. This is not a case where they now can sit back and ponder: “now, what would be a really good ending to this series?” They’ve had the ending for a while, and what they give us is not going to be much better or worse than it was when GRRM came up with it over 2 decades ago. Gfx: it will be so much better to have them take their time and give us an amazing final season.Īgain, “take their time” does not necessarily mean making it better. I don’t want or expect there to be a lot of Pulitzer prize-winning witty dialogue that people seem obsessed with. But the story overall is firmly about Daenerys and Jon and season 8 is going to be about defeating the Night King, which means big battles.
Granted at the end of the series we would like to see some sort of competition for the throne assuming the Night King is defeated. That part of the story for all intents and purposes is over. George Martin has said that A Song of Ice and Fire, which is the total story, ultimately is not about the game of thrones. People have to understand that A Game of Thrones was the title of the very first book. Even the timeline stuff really isn’t that big of a deal. I’ve watched it three times now and the dialogue is great.
and has the lowest ratings on rotten tomatoes. Now season 7 is history, the wight hunt was a poorly written episode. was excited at the possibility of two Harhome. what about the writing ?…i remember last year when Luka reported that the Field of Fear and wight hunt would take 3 weeks apiece with overlapping filming dates. While it’s probably true Game of Thrones won’t return to our screens in 2018, there is good reason for it: an extended filming and post-production schedule to deliver us six extra-long episodes of climactic extravaganza.ĬGI, Visuals needs alot of time to get done i can understand that. With bigger shows like Westworld or Game of Thrones, sometimes if you want the big show and the big scope, it takes longer.” “They have to do the best show they can do. “As shows get bigger and more complicated, I have to follow the producers’ lead and let go of, ‘It’d be nice to have it every year,'” Bloys continues. “The shooting is complicated enough - on different continents, with all the technical aspects - and the special effects are a whole other production period that we’re trying to figure out. “Our production people are trying to figure out a timeline for the shoot and how much time the special effects take,” Bloys tells THR. There is also post-production to consider, which will undoubtedly be longer for the explosive final season, especially if the filming schedule proves to be as long as reported. If this turns out to be accurate, the rumored 2019 air date becomes more understandable. THR goes on to warn “HBO would neither confirm nor deny the rumors,” but it’s still worthy of note: it would mean the usual filming schedule would be almost doubled for season eight, going on for as long as 10 months. In an interview with HBO programming president Casey Bloys and executives from other networks, The Hollywood Reporter cites unnamed sources who claim “the fantasy drama’s eighth season is slated to begin in October and run as late as August 2018.” Although the first part still holds true, if new reports are accurate, season eight will go through an extended filming schedule, which gives us clues to a possible air date. As best we could tell, the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones would commence production in October, for the usual five-to-six months of filming until March 2018.
