Hot Pie does have a bakery IRL
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 9 August 2017 15:20 (six years ago) link
Timed to coincide with the premiere of Season 7, actor Hawkey partnered with UK-based food delivery app Deliveroo to open You Know Nothing Jon Dough, a pop-up bakery that sells direwolf-shaped loaves of bread (like the one his character made in Season 4)

Why?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Wednesday, 9 August 2017 16:13 (six years ago) link
there was a rather long storyline centered around the slow, interminable movement of stannis's army right before they got owned by ramsey right
― 龜, Wednesday, 9 August 2017 16:51 (six years ago) link
yes although I think you may have forgotten one of, if not the actual most horrible thing that has happened on the entire series in there

hot pie wisely deleted his tweet about how jon venables should be executed to appease his anger

I dont understand why theyre doing 2 short seasons. Are they still filming the last ones?
Waiting for the ILX verdict on season 7 before scoping season 8 surely?
― wtev, Thursday, 10 August 2017 13:06 (six years ago) link
Well, people liked the first half last season, so they made two first halves!
― Eallach mhór an duine leisg (dowd), Thursday, 10 August 2017 13:08 (six years ago) link
2 short final seasons in pretty common in prestige TV: Sopranos did it. Breaking Bad did it. Mad Men did it.
― President Keyes, Thursday, 10 August 2017 13:18 (six years ago) link
They all did it differently, though, with two half-seasons meaning that they got two years of subscriptions for the contractual prize of one season. I think Game of Thrones is doing season 7 and 8, right? And I don't entirely get what the point is of that.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 10 August 2017 13:33 (six years ago) link
According to the showrunners they're putting so many battle scenes and effects into the last two seasons that they don't have time/money to do 10 full episodes each season.
― President Keyes, Thursday, 10 August 2017 13:38 (six years ago) link
I guess that also explains why the last episode was only 45 minutes and hardly anyone cared.
― President Keyes, Thursday, 10 August 2017 13:41 (six years ago) link
Yeah, that kinda makes sense.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 10 August 2017 13:48 (six years ago) link
More shows should follow this approach, tbh.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 10 August 2017 13:49 (six years ago) link
Seasons 5 and 6 of Game of Thrones certainly should have.
― chap, Thursday, 10 August 2017 13:51 (six years ago) link
Would have been far too long though. I don't fancy a full decade of this.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Thursday, 10 August 2017 14:03 (six years ago) link
Oh, do you mean making seasons shorter or splitting them into two?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Thursday, 10 August 2017 14:06 (six years ago) link
I think the last two eps of this season(?) are quite long.
― Eallach mhór an duine leisg (dowd), Thursday, 10 August 2017 14:13 (six years ago) link
Wasn't there also a suggestion from hbo that each episode in season 8 would be "feature length"?
― wtev, Thursday, 10 August 2017 14:17 (six years ago) link
― Robert Adam Gilmour,
Shorter seasons. The amount of actual plot in 5 & 6 could've easily been squeezed into seven episodes each.
― chap, Thursday, 10 August 2017 15:33 (six years ago) link
Well, yes.

Probably been mentioned but is there some magical reason why the White Walkers cannot get past the wall?
They sure are taking their time otherwise
― groovypanda, Friday, 11 August 2017 11:39 (six years ago) link
Literally the magical reason of magic being in the wall ice. They also get too seasick to take a boat.
― nashwan, Friday, 11 August 2017 11:48 (six years ago) link
that's a good point. There was definitely a guy, way back when, yelling DIG A MOAT. JUST DIG A BIG MOAT. CALL IT A CANAL, IF YOU MUST and all the other people at the meeting were like shut up, we voted, a wall is better.

wish we'd had a scene in which qyburn revealed his idea for a wall
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Friday, 11 August 2017 12:17 (six years ago) link
ideally by him throwing something against the wall to illustrate the concept
"walls - good for warmth, of course, but could we put them to use to, if you will, 'block' the movement of an enemy force?"
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Friday, 11 August 2017 12:18 (six years ago) link
"but qyburn walls are tiny, an army can simply knock them over"
"not the wall i have in mind..."

― President Keyes, Friday, 11 August 2017 14:26 (six years ago) link
Suspect the fact that both the Hound and the Mountain are now basically unkillable means they'll have a pretty crucial part to play in the eventual White Walker battle.
― Matt DC, Friday, 11 August 2017 14:39 (six years ago) link
Had a mate point out that in the opening titles this season the sea around Eastwatch is frozen over and that next week's episode is called Eastwatch so I guess we may be seeing the White Walkers very soon.
