Short episodes, short season. I'm sure it will be a bit frustrating in a series that normally features hour long episodes, but I suppose it's better than doing one two-hour movie for each novella.

Looking forward to the Laughing Storm as well as the Trial of Seven. Apparently, it will be the most realistic joust scene ever filmed. We'll see.

WEINER WEINER!!

I think it'll be good. The books are very good.

The longest episode this season is 42 minutes and it’s the pilot assuming that info was correct

Hodor checking in, I might pick these books up and read them. I bought the Fire & Blood book and go through spirts of wanting to read it. From what I've seen these are a shorter and easier read.

Early screening reviews of the show have seemed positive so far.

I think I'm gonna wait and just binge them in one sitting.

Looks like the Laughing Storm will steal every scene he's in. I think it's going to be a good show.

Yeah, I think a lot of people are going to do that. Half hour episodes might be a little unsatisfying.

I don't know when they will hit the wall with GRRM's writing pace. Surely they will, but we'll get at least three seasons before they do.

Subjective.
Stupid prediction since “best ever” is a preference.
And a preference is never wrong.

Do you need to watch GOT to watch this? I’ve never seen GoT but I want to

No.

IIRC, the events of this series take place about 75 or so years before those of GoT.

I mean Game Of Thrones last two seasons were a disaster and ended up with a cripple on the Iron Throne

Why would anyone invest their time in this even with 30 minutes episodes?

That's kind of a bullet-head take. There is plenty of good, self-contained stories left in this universe. Even if GRRM died tomorrow, they'd still have years of shows they could produce.

yeah, sucks we ONLY got like 5 years of the best TV show of all time and very well done content to talk about.

Also, Bran is the main character. He always was. His entire storyline lead to why he was gonna end up on the iron throne. The only issue with it was how they rushed the ending rather than spending the time needed for 10 full seasons

Chapter 1, Book 1
