yeah no one one else made a thread for this poo poo this season, so here you go :justpost:

wikipedia posted:

The seventh season of the fantasy drama television series Game of Thrones is set to premiere on HBO on July 16, 2017, and conclude six weeks later on August 27, 2017.[1][2][3] Unlike previous seasons that consisted of ten episodes each, the seventh season will consist of only seven.[4] Like the previous season, it will largely consist of original content currently not found in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, and will also adapt material Martin revealed to showrunners about the upcoming novels in the series.[5] The series is adapted for television by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss.

HBO ordered the seventh season on April 21, 2016, three days before the premiere of the show's sixth season, and began filming on August 31, 2016. The season was filmed primarily in Northern Ireland, Spain, and Iceland.

Game of Thrones features a large ensemble cast, including Peter Dinklage, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, and Kit Harington. The season will introduce several new cast members, including Jim Broadbent and Tom Hopper.

How can there be spoilers and a spoiler thread when the books havn't made it this far yet?


esperterra posted:

There's still some book things the show hasn't done or mentioned yet.

Also the whole season was spoiled and so far they're 100% accurate, so the book reader thread morphed into the show spoiler thread since most of us don't give a gently caress.

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
It's not just on SA, the internet as a whole has noticeably given far less a gently caress about spoilers. Obviously surpassing the books is a big part of it but I think tons of people just don't give a gently caress about what really happens anymore. They just want it over with.

It's because we're getting closer to end game and people are just like "okay we've had all the twists, show us the end". Folks do that.

Sad we didn't organize a fantasy league for this season - sounded fun last season. I was thinking about mentioning it in the spoiler thread, but I feel like they might have an advantage for some reason.

I have not much been paying attention to spoilers for this season and I'm excited because of that

But I'm sorry GOT plays second fiddle to Twin Peaks this summer. I may love silly fantasy bullshit and Cersei's butch new haircut and Queen of Darkness outfit (frankly I kinda hope she has tons more havoc to wreak because she's the best villain the show's had after Tywin). But all that said, David Lynch making an 18-hour-long film as a sequel to possibly my favorite film ever made (TP:FWWM) doesn't exactly happen that often, or EVER, and I'm still not convinced the whole show isn't just a delusional fantasy I am having.

But yeah, I mean.. I'll probably watch this, after TP. Maybe.

I used to poo poo all over GoT the show until I read to book 5 and just couldn't finish it.

Over the last couple weeks, though, I've listened to all of the Ringer's recap show, 'binge mode - game of thrones,' and I have to say that listening to two GoT-turbo-nerds practically pass out while breathlessly describing all the intricate plot twists, reveals, and callbacks has me completely re-evaluating the show.

It certainly isn't the best thing I've ever seen at times, but I am amazed at how the plots all fit together.

I know it won't happen but I really want the final shot to be the white walker king sitting on the throne eating Jon Snow's brain.

Or Cersei on the throne. That'd be alright I guess.
