I'd rather watch something but without needing to get through a load of episodes again. Someone told me there was a two-hour recap on Sky a week or two ago but I can't seem to find even a mention of it anywhere - anyone got any ideas? Also I hope they all die. And Stannis comes back to become king, as he should be. *edit: Just to be clear I have seen it all; I just need a memory jog. Was considering watching the last episode of season 7 but if there's something that recaps more than that so I'm up to speed on where all the plot lines are then I'd prefer it. I recommend a channel called FilmCram on YouTube for GoT recaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s called Game of Thrones: the story so far, it was on again last night/early this morning, but you can also go to the Sky Atlantic on demand to see it, otherwise here it is on youtube: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted April 14, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 14, 2019 It's ridiculous how much I'm looking forward to the final season. Absolutely essential TV and a show that transcends the genre. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Yep, for as much as I said (and stand by) the sopranos* and the wire were better series I don't think there will have ever been a TV event like the finale of this, can remember the buzz around lost finishing and BB but this will be 10x that *sopranos finale on E4 after they dropped it from channel 4 at something like 11pm on a Tuesday night with hardly any coverage was an absolute shambles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) I've watched it all, mostly because I wouldn't have anyone to talk to at lunch if I didn't, but I just don't get the fuzz. It's a well made show and I enjoy it, but it's not that bloody great. Same stuff over and over. Dragons, swords, tits, some character drops dead you didn't expect, repeat. Doesn't hold a candle to really really good shows like The Wire, Sopranos and what not. Edited April 14, 2019 by KenjiOgiwara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) So it's begun. As expected a really entertaining episode, not a dull moment. But at the same time they are as expected just blasting through the story at an ridiculous pace with some rather major happenings only getting a short scenes and there is a lot of fans service. Spoiler Whoever thought dragons were such voyeurs, was there even a tiny leer on the dragons face there? Edit: Arya and The Onion Knight remain my favorites. Spoiler And Tormund of course Edited April 15, 2019 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Spoiler Plenty more building blocks in place. Next week appears to be when the shit will truly hit the fan - I wonder if there will be some disappointment from certain sections of the fandom that it wasn't this week? As @sne says, though, an awful lot happened. Also, goddamn John Bradley (Samwell Tarly) is a terrific actor.

Chindie Posted April 15, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 15, 2019 Your usual 'let's check in with everyone' series opener, but with the pacing turned up to a million. It takes something away from the impact of some of what is going on when everything is at an absolutely breakneck speed with no chance to breathe. Except an indulgent dragon riding scene. Some intriguing stuff, good to have everyone back, rest of the series hopefully can take the turbo speed foundation this put in place and do something with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 While there is still so much to happen, the action is really concentrated in a couple of places now instead of spread out over lots of different storylines. As such I imagine 6 eps will be enough. Interesting start, and as others have said, really fast paced for GoT. Well set up for the rest of the series.

Czechlad Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Lots to still resolve. Hopefully nothing is rushed, but I am worried with only 5 episodes left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 15, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 15, 2019 It's all going to be rushed, even with the extended episodes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Gonna feel super rushed. This season is shorter than Season 7 by 12 minutes and shorter than Season 6 by 133 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 15, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 15, 2019 Just watched it, the pace of it all is far too quick. Makes it seem like the events don't really matter. Meh. Was entertaining but should have been better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) There would be another 133 minutes, but they blew the budget on that bizarre, Disneyesque dragon scene. What the hell was that? Good episode generally, it's bound to feel rushed though. Frustrating that there's been so much filler in the earlier seasons, especially season 5 and 6,but now we're out of time just when things are really getting interesting.
