No offense taken. Good luck with that. Much of s6 will be the showrunners' fanfic.

HBO wants 8 seasons, D&D are saying no and it ends on the 7th if they run out of story. D&D said they only have so much story to tell, and HBO execs agree but are applying very gentle pressure.

If you see season 7 get split and/or extended, or even an 8th season then be very skeptical of the fanfic quality because both D&D did not wish to do this as of earlier this year 2015.

We don’t want to add 10 hours to that. It’s about finding that sweet spot so it works for us and for HBO and, most of all, it works for the audience.”

Showrunners buy time this season re-warming some book 4 & 5 stuff and mixing in their own stories like they have been doing. Martin releases book 6 early 2016, showrunners incorporate into season 7 & 8, and wrap up season 8 with their own understanding of Martin's ending. It is written.

I hope its done right holohuze,

You familiar with how HBO and Terrence Winter handled Boardwalk Empire's final season it was very ugly. Borderline unwatchable.

I made a big mistake with the final season there and regret going into it blind and getting let down after let down with forced plots, cheapened plots, cheapened characters, abrupt and ugly conclusions, and just ugly editing and pacing compared to the 5 star show that the first 3 seasons were.

HBO and Winter had similar discussions that D&D are having, and disagreeing low key, so I am worried about a bumblefuck fizzle like so many other HBO series have had happen.

While I only vaguely recall Boardwalk's last season, I understand your concern perfectly. Only wanted to point out the possibility of fresh source material for showrunners. Whether its 7 seasons or 8, my biggest concern is showrunners inventing story.

This. This. This.

You know people are going to interpret that as him talking about our beloved Jon Snow but I would love to see this actually being about the Hound. If he actually is talking about Jon Snow then this is the most egregious of slip ups but if it's about the Hound then it's a sly and subtle troll that much much much less people are going to pick up on and I think that's totally cool.

Hes playing Targaryn in a flashback from what I've read...Not a current character. King Targ was originally in Season 1 Episode 1, but they cut it all out. The actor might know that, and also was told Targ used to be someone in the series, etc. hence hes back from the dead.

Its 1 episode, so its going to be a flashback episode..Hes "back!" lol. Sorry to disappoint you guys.
