So 77" OLED should be OK?

Well yes, I rather imagined the renos would've included a cinema room.

skully has memories of dickwaving comps with his 'big' lil bro

Always the loser.

Have to say, that was my immediate thought as well.

I think episode 3 needed a bigger TV (or cinema screen...) but this was more satisfying on the whole.

So, contenders for the final seat on the throne? Dany, Jon, Sansa, Arya, Tyrion (last Lannister), Gendry (last Baratheon)? Any other curveballs, assuming Cersei and Jaime are history?

This season has been rather predictable. I'll go with Jon after someone (maybe Jon himself) offs Daeny.

Yes, i think Daeny has sealed her own fate after turning into her father.

Read an interesting article yesty which talked about the opening exchange between Varys and the little girl.

Yeah, they mentioned that on Thronecast, didn’t pick up on it at the time.

Anyone powerful enough to matter in Westeros who ate food they didn't personally forage and/or kill and prepare themselves deserves to die because they're too stupid to live.

Neither did I, mainly because of some mumbled dialogue.

You're in a benevolent mood today, Q. Very Happy

Well imagine what it's like for anyone born into one of these great families. You're in the school playground eating your lunch alone as per normal and wondering if you smell awful or are just plain ugly and the headmaster gently explains there's nothing wrong with you but the other boys don't want to be collateral damage when someone or something with the moniker of the hound or the mountain or someone who's business card reads CEO Gruesome Noble Offings are us goes all WMD on your ass.

That type of thing can put a kid in therapy for a long time.

S08E06 – Series Finale.

Spoiler:

I have to say I was a little underwhelmed. But I guess all the loose ends were tied up, and all the battles fought.

Thought it was a pretty good finale on the whole... managed to tread the fine line between Hollywood and Shakespeare! All the character resolutions were quite fitting, and the post-credits gimmicky twist I feared didn’t materialise.

GoT might be over but I’m sure Westeros will live on, in the manner of Star Wars, Marvel, LotR etc.

Apparently a prequel pilot is currently being filmed.

Worst series of the lot. Jon’s sole role this season seems to have been to send Dany mad and eventually kill her.

by Bradman Mon 20 May 2019, 23:48

Lots of online chatter agreeing with you.

HBO's Chernobyl made up for the absolute shower of shit that the last series of GoT was. Worth watching.

Thanks for the tip, t.

Lousy season.

GoT is coming to the West End/Broadway stage, with a prequel story. George R.R. Martin is involved, but unless Chris Martin is as well (not the cricketer!) it won’t be as good as this:
