God damn bastards. Every year it’s the same thing: “oh this year every episode is gonna be nearly the length of a feature film, that’s why the season is shorter.” And every god damned year, the run times are basically the same as always.

On the heels of HBO’s recent confirmation that Game of Thrones won’t return for its final season until 2019, the network’s top programming boss is explaining the reason for the extra-long wait. Casey Bloys told EW that — as fans have suspected — showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss wanted the extra time to craft the strongest final six episodes possible.

“Here’s what I’ll tell you: They take the time they need to do the show at its highest level of quality. As the show has gone on, it’s gotten bigger — big battle scenes, big special effects,” Bloys said. “These things take time. Here’s the one thing I can assure you: Dan and Dave were not sitting around on a beach waiting to go back to work. They’re perfectionists and this is the soonest it can come back at a level of quality that they are comfortable with.”
