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...
Sanctimonious cunt goes on his blog and makes passive aggressive swipes about how he doesn't appreciate the fans wanting him to hurry his ass up. It's been over a literal DECADE since the last one and he's spent more than enough time producing other people writing the shit he should be, badly, and making entire mythos for other projects. If he's given up on finishing the shit at least have the decency to come out and say it. [Reply]

GRRM will never finish his series. He just doesn't care. [Reply]

Last thing published about Jon Snow was him getting stabbed by his Night's Watch bros and bleeding out so any of this spinoff will be original material [Reply]
I had vowed to be done with this universe until the inevitable happens: Martin dies, and Brandon Sanderson comes riding in on a white horse, furiously writing to wrap things up and fix everything.

But I’ll PROBABLY give this a shot.
That would be pretty bad ass. Dude could probably fit it in as well. His ability to pump out massive quantities of high quality stories is amazing. [Reply]
I'm not interested in watching Jon Snow mope at the wall about killing Danerys and not bringing the Stark and Targaryen houses together to rule over Westeros as he should have. Maybe if Arya goes up there and beats his ass for it, I'll tune in. [Reply]

Eeyore is not a compelling series on his own. He needs someone to make him act like a man. [Reply]

Imagine botching a series end run so badly that you cost yourself billions in future revenue.
They will never regain the magic they captured.
And torching your career. I'm not sure they've worked since. See Superturtle below.

Fair perspective. D&D made some damned good television. Then They got too big for their britches and started looking for greener pastures.

Why would Netflix and Disney or anyone else ever trust them again? Your corporation gets a big hit and they get tired of it before its finished and want to move on. Just shit all over the corporate golden goose.
Billion $ corporations don't allow people to come back from that type of screw up. Especially, if they are not sorry or contrite. Haven't even talked about their mistake in public. Re-enforcing their arrogance and disregard for the fans. [Reply]
