HBO / MAX Game of Thrones - Brace yourselves, spoilers are coming

[Broke EF]

Did anyone watch the GoT Documentary? I watched it last night and thought it was alright. It was crazy to see just how massive the overall production was. So many people did such great work for this show, and for so many years. Really a kick in the nuts to have the writing be so bad in the end.

 

[Mook]

I did not. My watch has ended.

I've watched half of the documentary...kind of underwhelming...

It is a little, they kind of spend too much time with only a few people. I am sure a lot of that had to do with how locked down everything was. At the same time I appreciate that they had the actors in it VERY little since the focus was on the crew.

well ok then

Can't cope with what they did to his character. This season could have ruined his career.

They keep replaying episode 6. And I keep rewatching it. Why does Jon and the wildlings go back north? Why do they show him going through the gate? Wasn’t that all burnt down and destroyed? I am still so confused by that.

 

[Sprayin]

Sums it up for me. I was okay with what happened. Just not how the what was told.

So, I was listening to the CBS Fantasy Football podcast, and they had a special guest on Friday. The guy who wrote Die Hard and other action flicks. It was actually a cool interview to listen to regarding movies.

Anyway, GoT came up, and the dude said something that I think makes sense. They made longer episodes, but less of them. If it was spanned out to say 9 episodes, with even all of the same things, but cut differently, it might be received differently by the masses.

Add a couple scenes, cut it different, leave everything else the same, I think I agree with that statement.

Quality writing here. This movie was legit a comedy.

Surprising no one, a special collectors edition bluray set is coming out Dec 3rd. Actually looks kinda cool. No pricing info yet, but I'm always a sucker for these things..

In addition to deleted scenes, cast and crew commentaries, and a DVD of the documentary Game of Thrones: The Last Watch, the complete series collections include an exclusive reunion special hosted by Conan O’Brien. The show, filmed in front of a live audience in Belfast, features cast members from the show’s entire run. Departed favorites like Sean Bean and Jason Momoa are back, alongside the stars of season eight like Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner, Kit Harrington, and Emilia Clarke.

I put it on preorder. I have until december 3rd to change my mind, or see if it the price drops.

Can I pay extra for them to keep Season 7 and 8?

 

[IDAFC21]

I'm sure they wouldn't mind.

They work well as coasters. That's what my Kingdom of the Crystal Skull works as from my Indiana Jones Blu Ray box set.

 

[Mook]

I dunno why you'd waste money on this when you can just watch it on HBO whenever you want.

 

[Mook]

In fact, not totally sure why anyone buys tv box sets anymore

 

[Kensington]

I guess if HBO ever decides to take it off of streaming, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

If you have some oddball series you like, that's not on the major streaming services, I could see it. But not for shows like GoT or the like.

The shit show of a final episode (ya know, the one that is pretty universally hated) got Emmy Nominations for *both* Writing and Directing.
