Cersie just materializing new Lannister armies out of nothing and destroying the much larger Martell and Tyrell armies (which haven't been touched in the war) is just so beyond stupid. But that's what the script says must happen so drat any reasoning.

I tried I really did. But after Phil went on a Reddit esque freak out on his daughter for reading the Bible I just couldn't go on.

Claudia was the only character I liked and as far as I know she's off the show now.

Lady Stoneheart and a season long adventure through the Riverlands back in Season 5 would have been infinitely better than the lovely Dorne arc. They really blew it.

I don't know about the rest of you old salty fuckers but this late in the game I'm more exhausted about it than excited. Like, I'm glad I'll get to have a loving ending to a story I started fifteen years ago, so that's cool, but it feels more like an obligation than something I can't wait to see (like the first season).

Pretty good preview though.

I feel this way too and I never even read the books. I just want this poo poo to be over.

And so I am pissed that Season 8 will be delayed. loving bullshit that they want some unique locations just film everything in a studio backlot somewhere I don't care just get it done.

From what I heard the main reason for the delays of both Seasons 7 and 8 were so that they were able to do most of the filming during the winter since that's, ya know, a pretty major plot point. #WinterIsHere

That's stupid. Go film in New Zealand or somewhere where its Winter right now. Or do what a billion other big productions do to simulate winter without actually needing it to be winter.

And Tyrion not reactionary Tbh. He was never considered a real noble anyways what with being the laughingstock of everyone and I'm pretty sure the reliance on daddy's money made him bitter af

Tyrion was the one who brokered that dumbass deal with the Slave Cities which they broke after like 72 hours.

Can't wait for The Winds of Winter, which will be out in 2018 for sure.

I love how even if WoW comes out it just means another 5 year wait at minimum for A Dream of Spring. And that's a conservative estimate considering he's now taken 6 years to finish a book that's like 25% composed of poo poo that was already written and cut from the last book. And I'd bet my house that GRRM either officially gives up or dies before then.

I started reading the books only after seeing the first season of the TV show. I can't imagine how the wait has felt to anyone who has been reading the series for a way longer time.

There are people who started reading this series when they were just entering middle age who are dead of old age now.
