I would be fine if there was no trailer just teasers like this, since I try to avoid trailer, but i am probably too weak to resist.

I hope the ending isn't as disappointing as season 7. I'll accept season 6 bad, but dear god not season 7 writing...

This means the final episode will air on Sunday, May 19, for anyone marking their calendars.

Game of Thrones has become one of those things that is difficult to discuss on Era.

This is not an ERA-exclusive thing. Any community with a large portion of people who have read the books or are familiar with basic storytelling beyond "flashy special effects" also has serious issues with the later seasons of the show.

I dont hate season 7, but I'll admit the writing was not good. But to be fair, D&D wanted it to be the final season. HBO we're the one's that wanted two more, so they had to meet in the middle and do 13 final episodes. Blame HBO.

Oh btw, OFFICIALY 90 DAYS TO GO!!!

Just a huge disconnect between the forum and the majority's opinions
C'mon, you know I don't do the hipster thing.
I loved this show, but Season 7 was a horrible piece of storytelling for a multitude of reasons, and I hope 8 won't be. That's all there is to it. I'm not just hating it because it is popular.

The whole show has banked on its huge budget and spectacle post Season 4, certainly not any great writing. That's fine but its also a bummer that the earlier seasons didn't have as much budget to play with. I'd love to see a book accurate Blackwater.

How does that make Era any less of an outlier?

This isn't theory work. The ratings continue to skyrocket and overall opinion of the show is at an all time high

If the whitewalkers made statues of the Starks in their crypt, I'm beginning to think they're not so bad.

Season 7 was amazing, please don't tell me you're one of those people who was upset because they didn't show them traveling for days.

I'm not saying you are a hipster. You are more than entitled to your opinion

But thinking that most people consider S7 a "trash fire" is wildly off the mark. Ots probably the most well regarded season yet
