4&5 were definitely a struggle though

[RileyH]

I'm a slow reader so it just annoyed me that it was taking so long

[Smithy]

Battles confirmed for episodes 3 and 5

Some spoilers are now online for the rest of the season

[Vicky.]

Are they real though? I read a bunch of spoilers that sounded like they could be right, but apparently they were all fan theories..

[Smithy]

Yeah they’re real, from the same people that leaked Viserion and Olennas death last year </3 they’re show runners or something along those lines

[Vicky.]

Can you PM me them? or put them in spoilers in here? I read a few reddit theories a couple of weeks back, every one of them could have been true and I believed it was scripts leaked and stuff

[Smithy]

No I’m not going near them but they are on Reddit somewhere

[Vicky.]

Ah right, thought you meant you had actually read them

[bots]

i've seen reports on some scenes that have leaked that make interesting reading if true. Its also possible that scenes will get cut in the final edit, so who knows, but its fun speculating

They started filming in March and they’re only NOW halfway through




So assuming the finish in October, there was a 5 month turn around for S7 they finished filming in Feb and the first ep premiered in July, so a possible March 2019 premiere?

Didn’t they start late in the year? Around Octoberish?

I can't wait any longer

Inb4 those are the only four characters alive in the 2nd half of the season.

In an interview with HuffPost, “Game of Thrones” visual effects supervisor Joe Bauer discussed the show’s Emmy hopes (it’s nominated for 22 awards at the 2018 ceremony) as well as its future eligibility. “In two years we’ll be eligible for the Season 8 work,” he said, “which we’re just beginning now.”
That’s right. He said the show will be eligible for the 2020 Emmys, not the 2019 Emmys, meaning it would be airing the bulk of its expected six episodes after the 2019 deadline: May 31.
“We’re going to be toiling away on Season 8 until May of 2019, so it’s eight or nine months away,” he added. “But the prequel is starting to shoot in February, at least the pilot. So we’ll still have quite a lot to do on Season 8 when they’re beginning.”
Bauer said he’s blocked off his schedule until next May for “Game of Thrones” effects work. “So much of it comes down to timing and all that stuff. The situation changes every week. I know I’m not doing anything else but ‘Thrones’ until May of next year.”




****ING MAY?!

[Brother Leon]

**** me. I heard the episodes aren’t over 1 hour each anymore either? Is that true or was my friend just chatting crap?

[Smithy]

Season 8 opens at Winterfell with an episode that contains plenty of callbacks to the show’s pilot. Instead of King Robert’s procession arriving, it’s Daenerys and her army. What follows is a thrilling and tense intermingling of characters — some of whom have never previously met, many who have messy histories — as they all prepare to face the inevitable invasion of the Army of the Dead


I’m not ready
