I finally caved and grabbed the limited edition box set. As someone who doesn't usually buy these things for TV series, it's really damn cool. I already have all 8 seasons individually so not sure if there's extra content specifically on the box set that I'm gonna wanna watch or not. I usually just watch the deleted scenes and the histories and lore.
I'm just looking forward to seeing how the book actually does it. Dany's descent into madness and knowing whats going on in Jon's head the whole time is gonna be fantastic (I hope). And I'm interested to see if Bran isn't actually a catatonic emotionless droid after becoming the 3ER. Gonna have to go find the book thread because this is the year GRRM promised us we can imprison him on an island in New Zealand by this summer if he doesn't have the book ready.
He looks so so different in real life than on the show. I thought they had basically no resemblance but in those pictures it’s pretty strong.
A Bran joke...totally different! you know, the selection of a leader whose physical abilities may be a bit diminished, that no one seems wholly enthused with, but accepting that it’s a different direction from the tyrannical death cults that have been in charge in recent years and could be a bridge to something better. totally different!
I’m actually ready to attempt a rewatch soon I think. I saw a clip of the Arya/NK moment on one of those listicles and watching it with the music again made me realize that even though most of the last season wasn’t earned at all, it was executed pretty well in terms of on screen spectacle. The music/visuals were just ridiculously good. And of course the first seven seasons were top tier TV(minus the first half of season 5)
As bad as the final season is on a whole, I’d probably put “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” in my ten best episodes.
Yeah true. Everything in that episode actually felt earned. And we got so many interactions that I had been waiting for with Jaime showing up. And of course the Brienne scene and Jenny of Oldstones song. It just left a bitter taste the way it ended so fast and how they forced the issue on nearly everything else. But seeing that Arya/NK clip the other day gave me a hunger to watch again. But also I’ve seen the first 4 seasons especially so many times that I almost want to wait longer so it doesn’t feel like a chore to get through them lol. The pandemic will def be pushing back House of the Dragon’s debut to which blows.
