OFFICIAL Game of Thrones Thread

[Stugotes]

"This story centers on the decline and fall of Valyria, a colonial empire which ruled half of the known world at its height. It reveals the social, economic, and political crises which tore apart the empire from within. A major focus of this prequel is on diversity, as it deals with issues of immigration, naturalization, and cultural identity - all within a multi-ethnic democratic state. The central conflict that kicks off the series is, "what does it mean to be 'Valyrian', and who gets to share in that power and prestige?"

Adios, HBO...

This has to be a joke, right?

edit: sounds like there might still be hope:

Empire of Ash is one of four different prequel pitches that HBO is considering as of early 2019. So far, no official statement has even been made about the existence of the pitch, and it is only known from a major leak to the administrative staff Game of Thrones Wiki itself in July 2018.
HBO has not, as of yet, ordered a pilot for Empire of Ash, though it has not outright rejected the pitch either (as it did for the fifth prequel pitch, according to Martin)

The best prequel series would probably be about Robert's Rebellion or the Age of Heroes.

They said never to Roberts rebellion as the key points were already covered in GoT and it would be a rehash

So it's exactly what the audience wants

The second episode was a little better, and the actors are decent, so hopefully, it’ll hike itself up to HBO standards. As is, it just felt like a Showtime show — nasty and forgettable.

Did you see the shower scene, based (they claim) on the one in Carrie? Dicks everywhere! Literally jumping up and down. Like screaming at prudish viewers, “Get mad at me! (Please?)”.

Thankfully no.

There's not much left to talk about or speculate. We know who ends up on the melted iron throne. Maybe when the prequels start up, this thread will kick back up.

It seemed like there was a lot of post mortem discussion as well. But I agree, most people don't seem all that interested in kicking around the corpse this time around.

This corpse stinks and is unattractive

Anyone disappointed in the obvious twists of the nk defeat, danys turn, Jon killing dany?

Cersei's wimpy death?

I'm sure none of the nominations was for story or plot.

Can you be nominated if you don't have either?
