toodarnhot Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Sophie was 14 years old in season 1. I don't know if it's the super long hiatus, but my excitement for the show isn't what it used to be. I really didn't enjoy season 5, and they managed to get my interest back in the last season but now I'm at the point where I'll be glad the show is wrapped up.

This is usually the time where hype starts growing with the first full trailer. It was all perfectly timed and they were able to fill in the months. The whole marketing process is delayed 3 months, so we'll probably get the trailer by April, when it usually premieres.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cult Icon Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 the show comes across as chasing too many storylines at once so long gaps occur before anything else happens. I watched it in compilation form (S1-S6) which made it more coherent in a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotportugal Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have confirmed that the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones will only have six episodes. The seventh season debuts on 16 July in the US on HBO and will consist of seven episodes. Weiss and Benioff said last year that they had planned to finish the series in just thirteen more episodes after the explosive finale to Season 6. HBO had refused to confirm that, hoping that the producers could be talked into making more episodes. Clearly that effort has failed. The final two seasons have the same budget as the sixth ($100 million), bringing the per-episode budget of the series up to $14,280,000. In Season 8 this will increase to $16,660,000 per episode (a massive five times the budget of an episode of The Walking Dead, for comparison). Game of Thrones is, easily, the most expensive ongoing TV show in television history. The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones will begin production towards the end of this year and will air in summer 2018. HBO are in early discussions with George R.R. Martin about making a possible spin-off series to replace it, but have not announced any firm plans. Such a series will not involve Benioff or Weiss, who have a movie development deal with Fox Studios. The most expensive season so far had been S1 of the Crown with 13m$ per episode. S7 already surpasses the record for most expensive show ever, but S8 gets it even bigger with almost 17m$. Oustanding. And they only pay 500k$ per episode to the five titular characters.

gotportugal Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 1 minute ago, Cult Icon said: who are the 5? Lena Headey () Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime) Kit Harrigton (Jon) Emilia Clarke (Daenerys) Peter Dinklage (Tyrion) Sophie Turner (Sansa) and Maisie Williams (Arya) are second tier, ie They receive a bit less but they're the second group in earnings.

Cult Icon Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 thanks, interesting. It makes it more likely that these 7 characters will make it at or close..to the end. Perhaps this means that Cersei won't die in S7 and if she does, will die at the end of S8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems designed to be an character that invokes sympathy. Yep, Cersei is awesome and Lena is beautiful!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
