I have no idea what you're talking about. Yes, there were a few "what the...?" moments last season, but as a whole it was top tier. And how awesome was it watching the dragons fly around wrecking shit? God tier.

The writing and stuff has been pretty bad for awhile and has been largely replaced by spectacle. It's still entertaining, but it's nearly as good as it was in the early seasons.

this, if there were still books to read i would be mad, but since this is the only way i will ever see this story finished, if i have to live with a hovering ice dragon breathing ice on an ice wall and exploding it so some frost giants and ice bone skellies can waltz through instead of the frozen river right next to it. then so be it.

Still top 5 series of all time for me. I'm amazed how many people out there haven't seen GoT though. Hell even though I've watched it all 4-5 times Shelly still hasn't seen more than 5 minutes of it. She goes nuts when I binge watch it because you have the intro playing every hour for days. No one else in my family or hers, whats left of both of them have seen it. Most people I work around haven't seen it. I feel like even if you don't like fantasy/dark age stuff that it still has something for everyone. It has mystery, tits, action, fantasy, drama and sometimes even good writing. What's not to love other than the handful of very obvious, let me fast forward, social juicer scenes.

well, its daunting for anyone trying to get into it because the first season introduces so many characters its annoying to keep track of who this person is and what house they represent and whose side they were on during robert's rebellion and their relatives and their desires for power. then you have latecomers who try to start with season 5 or 6 and have no fucking idea whats going on and who these people are so they nope the fuck out. your only option is binge watching. then where do you do that? netflix or go out and buy all the overpriced BR box sets which could set you back some cash. not everyone uses netflix or torrents. basically we are the core audience and the time for introducing new viewers to this show has come and gone years ago.

Who starts a show with the fifth or sixth season?

You can easily binge HBO shows with HBO Go/Now.

You left out having HBO or HBO Now in that. I wasn't aware Netflix even had them though.
My only real gripe currently outside the speed traveling on the plot as if nothing else is happening when so many things were going on in those months of travel that just took 4 minutes of another scene to complete is what happened to the dancing master. Did he die, did he escape? Was he the faceless man dude from the temple?

lots of people wait years for a show to get big word of mouth before they dip their toes in themselves to try it out. many people dont want to get burned watching a show in season 1 only to have it get cancelled at the end of the season or sooner and being fucked out of closure.

i dont have netflix, i thought it was on there. HBO does this thing where they make you sit through 15 minutes of torture between shows. so its not a feasible method of catching up on the show and people still dont want to spend the day doing it.

Meh. Once it ends( before the 15 minutes of why unsullied have no dick commentary) I usually hit exit on remote then it jumps back to the listing and I scroll down to the next and hit play. I let the intros play though which gets me in trouble.

im talking about HBO, they put like 10-15 minutes of promos for their virtue signalling original programming after each program. granted the other networks do shit like this too. but when you're trying to binge watch, this feels like torture because you want to see what happens next and you just saw this horrible ad play like 5 times now and it wont stop.

i've oft daydreamed of having an edited version of the show that does a continuous/seamless cut from episode to episode -- no intro, no credits. my computer sucks for video editing HD quality videos, tho.

Not sure what you're talking about, but I binged GoT a while back using HBO Now and the promos were only like 2 minutes long and you could fast forward through them
