Just a thought

If the mountain is basically dead and a zombie. What are odds that the night king can control him like the wigits?

Night King wolfin?

Episode lengths released. First 3 are normal length, last three are 80 minutes

Was hoping for 4 or 5 of them at 80 minutes, but oh well.

Wait 2 years for 90 minute episodes they say...

It was always a stretch that EVERY episode was going to be upwards of 90 mins.

Also they’ve beaten the point into the ground through multiple interviews that they’ve known exactly how the show ends for years. There’s no room for “filler” or any huge earth shattering “twists” at this point. No new major characters to develop, no plotlines to flesh out. We’ve got the battle against the WW and Battle for the Iron Throne. Thats it. The runtimes are to get the characters to their respective endgames.

Not one hits 90

They really sped up the show anyway. If they kept it at the normal pace they would have had 2 seasons left

I think most showrunners nowadays are scared to get into “Lost” territory, where they go longer than they should have and end up with a mythology that gets ever more convoluted until its out of control.

Also we have to remember that they ran out of Book material three years ago. Both George RR Martin and the show runners have stated that when they started they had NO idea that they would outpace the books, so they might gave indeed went 1 or 2 more seasons with 2 more books worth of material, but since they don’t have that its better to cut out while their ahead rather than risk dragging shyt out.

Big battle director is on deck for episode 3 and 5. So I imagine the battle of Winterfell is gonna happen in ep 3 and in ep 5 shyt gonna spill into the south I don't know

Finale is directed by the showrunners so obviously they know exactly how they want it to end and they wanna see it through that vision.

I'm out until episode 1.

Last note... I don't feel this is rushed at all. They got plenty of time to end this and stick the landing

Prepared to be underwhelmed

Lol, I'm dreading that.

In my mind there's all these amazing theories and guesses based on my rewatching but one thing I noticed which has got me feeling pessimistic is the difference in quality of the dialogue and storyline of season 3 compared to the last couple of seasons (just finished season 3).

I kind of feel sorry for the show makers as that bum ass author didn't pull his thumb out of his ass and finish his story. I guess the bank he's made out of the show must have made him lazy.

The "Game Of Thrones" show runners said they modeled the finale after "Breaking Bad" so I fully expect The Night King to die by machine gun.

Disappointed by this. All should’ve been 90 mins. Hope it won’t feel rushed.
