About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.
I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that...

Sounds an awful lot like your problem.
There are things I wish they’d done better but to ask them to do in 4 years (roughly half the story) when it took Martin 20 (roughly half the story) is a joke.
Look, there are things I don’t love, but I feel compelled to stand up for D/D when everyone is putting them on blast. They have problems that I feel are avoidable but to pretend that 7 and 8 are garbage is as bad of a take as I can think of.
The actors. The directors. The special effects. The soundtrack. All top notch. The writing? Lazy trope ridden dogshit. [Reply]

I feel you. But it is mind bogglingly stupid to expect in 4 years what it took Martin 20.
We get it. Could be better. But it’s far from as bad as you’re letting on. [Reply]
So, they did the Holy Roman Empire solution which usually results in a lot of weak emperors due to the powerful nobility electing the weakest among them so that they don't have to take orders from them. [Reply]
