Ahh.. Sorry if my post was unclear.

They actually stretched it out an extra season and made less episodes per season. The actors were originally signed for seven seasons. They all got huge raises apparently.

Brexit likely to be devastating for Game of Thrones as it relied on a lot of EU film subsidies that are likely to disappear. Also cross border filming was a hallmark of the series that will likely cost a lot more now. Hopefully filming can wrap up before all the messy legislation/tariffs,etc can impact the show.

Filming will definitely be done by the time Britain leaves the EU. It will take a minimum of two year aND more likely five years. GOT will wrap up filming in a year and a half.

Plus its GOT, the most popular show in the world, no matter what they will make it work. Not worried in the slightest about any impact.

That's what I do. Cancel / restart when game of thrones comes on. But you're right, probably not the majority of people do this.

Well now I'm intrigued. Thanks for posting your excitement but still remaining cognizant of spoilers.

I'm hoping we'll get some sense of where Bran's story may be going. The episode title makes me think we will. Beyond that, I really have no expectations. Excited to see this one.

Maybe it's my raging boner talking but that was without question the best episode of GoT ever. An instant classic. A real game changer lol, pun intended.

GL is gonna for sure have an aneurism with all the improbable distance travelled though! Maybe there is a Harry Potter crossover going on and they are apparating, or using a port key or the floo network or something.

I bitched about progress earlier this season but the last two episodes changed everything.

That was absolutely the best hour and a bit of television I've ever seen. Also the way the mixed the music in with everything that was happening. Holy ####! I went into this episode thinking that it was going to be in typical fashion where they do the insane episode either in 8 or 9, and the finale just wraps things up for the show, and this totally blew me away. I too will be watching again at 9.

I think Littlefinger wants Sansa to be jealous of Jon and create a rift between them.
