Game of Thrones Series Seven

[Thursday]

Not really fair, but coming of Twin Peaks and seeing all the rote, dramatic dialogue in that trailer, I'm thinking "yeah whatever mate" Anyway what's good isn't really going to come across in a trailer, so that's fine.

Also for some reason I had been thinking this would be the last season, but the plan is for season 8 to have 6 episodes isn't there? Did think it seemed crazy that they were planning on wrapping thing up in just these 7 episodes.

[mothman]

Yes, that's right, As I understand it. My hope is it'll allow some of them to maybe be a bit longer, like the season 6 finale was.

Also, 16 July. Don't think I knew that previously, just been "July" up to now?

[Bhazor]

A HBO trailer and no ass shot or lesbian fondling? What strange world is this?

[mothman]

Nah, that was just to hook the punters. Now they've got a taste, it's hacky-slashy-stabby untraviolence all the way, baby. Less chance that their target audience's parents will be told by Pastor Bob that it's corrupting them.

Besides, who's left? I suppose there's the possibility of some Khaleesi-on-Snow action, or some Littlefinger-on-Sansa (in his dreams, anyway), but anyone holding out for Arya-on-anyone needs to sit down and have a good long look at themselves. Worse, nobody's hanging out in brothels much anymore, so no random sexposition neither.

I do hope Stannis survives this season.

*sigh*

[Custard]

Why? She's 20 now! Very fair game

I do find Maisie Williams very attractive, mind. She's not even that great looking, but she has that x factor (seX factor more like, eh ladz?!)

[BritishHobo]

The main things I'm really excited for now are actual payoffs. The show's spent so long stretching the characters apart from each other that moments like Tyrion meeting Dany, or Jon and Sansa reuniting, were absurdly satisfying.

I'd like to see Arya bump into the pair of them (and the Hound), and I'd love to get at least one scene with Tyrion, Cersei and Jaime all in the same room.

Argh, we've been teased for so long, book and show. This is going to be glorious.

[NoSleep]

I'd love to get at least one scene with Tyrion, Cersei and Jaime all in the same room.

Where Tyrion dies at hands of Jaime while Cersei goes "nyahh"?

[Gurke and Hare]

Besides, who's left?

The Sand Snakes are still around.

Isn't the character still technically about 12 or something though? (which is already aged up from the books)

[Custard]

But that'd mean Sansa is about 14

ARE YOU TRYING TO TAKE ALL OUR WANKING AWAY

[Thursday]

Just make sure it's over Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner specifically, not over Arya and Sansa

[Custard]

Fair enuff

Bigger than a Beatles reunion

Oh, and Bran is there too

[Steven]

I only fancy Arya when she's disguised as a boy, so I'm alright.

[Gulftastic]

And for me, it's when she's blind.

Miss the lesbian kiss, then?

[Pinckle Wicker]

The new trailer for season 7 is just out. There is a lot there alright and am sure we can expect loads of crazy theories etc coming through soon. I cannot wait!!

Been rewatching the last season in preparation, and I dunno if the season just started slow or if Twin Peaks has ruined a lot of TV for me, but I was bored off me tits. Just really fuckin slow and some really stodgy dialogue. I do remember liking it when it aired though, will stick with it.

Davos is great though, isn't he? As long as he ends up alright and they don't give him some stupid heroic death I'll be grand with pretty much anything the show does.

[Mr_Simnock]

That gif is far too big memory wise and takes an age to load, not a better version anywhere?

[Gwen Taylor on ITV]

Sorry to say he dies in the final season of the books :(

[mothman]

Can we just go ahead and rename this TV subforum, from Picture Box to Not As Good As Twin Peaks, already? It'll save time.

[Hangthebuggers]

Yeah the quality of writing has dropped somewhat since the show runners are entering uncharted territory due to the scope of the story now settling beyond the current books. I've noticed this since season 4 to be honest. Season 5 was mostly hit and miss and so was season 6 (I mean still good TV, but a bit clunky, some weird decisions, weird dialogue and such) - for instance Tyrion's character seems to have lost something, Dany's scenes are predictable and the non-GRRM and the marriage of Sansa and Ramsay was just absurd and felt shoehorned in.

I have a feeling this season will be a lot better now it's entering the end game though. From what I've read about the scripts - there's a lot less plotting and more action, more battles and power struggles - rather than the typical insidious political back-stabbing. Many of the storylines and characters are merging now and I think the final strands of the plot will even out now that all the characters are were they should be.

Honestly after 20 years I'm happy for any kind of ending. Hell I'd make do with reading the synopsis on wiki.

I was surprised this is back tonight, as for some reason I thought it was coming more towards the end of the year.

Sadly, I think Twin Peaks coming back and being so great has taken a lot of the usual interest and excitement away from it

It's bound to be great though, so hurrah

[Glebe]

They're going to reveal who the new Jon Snow is after the Superbowl.

[NoSleep]

As long as his battle cry remains "Fuck the Tories!" the fans will be happy.

Unless I'm mistaken there'll still be one Twin Peaks left after the last episode in this series of GOT which seems weird.

They should get off their lazy arses and make more episodes frankly.
