I liked the reaction of Varys while everyone else was clapping when they found out Arya kills the NK.

The reading worked better than the actual show.

When they did his final scene, he was visibly annoyed and was basically like 'frick this shite, I'm out'.

Yeah that was odd. I assumed that was the cast getting their copy of the script for the first time though.

I wanted to see the table read for the final episode's political meeting scene, and watch all of them eyeroll how the series ended and who ended up on the throne.


That was a pretty weird documentary. Not at all what I was expecting really. At times if basically felt like a doc about that one Stark extra dude.

I thought the documentary was pretty terrible. Everyone was so emotional about it being the final season no one seemed to think twice about the story they were telling.

Which actually makes sense when you think about the filming schedule done over the last 10 years.

The sets, costumes, horses, special effects, number of extras, etc is insane when you really think about it. Then add to that the number of actors all filming in different locations but on the “same” show, and then these actors start to come back together off and on throughout, etc. I can see why the cast and crew would be so emotional and proud of what they accomplished.

Which is what makes the terrible writing that much worse, it let them all down

Emilia Clarke said that she knew what was going to happen to her before the table read, but that Kit purposely avoided finding out beforehand, that's why she smile/cringes at his reaction to stabbing her.

Did anybody see Jason Mamoa reaction to the finale? I thought he was going to transform into Drogo.

The documentary did seem to drag a lot. Kit and Emilia seemed pretty nice to the staff, but it could've been that they knew they were on camera. It could've been so much better.

I appreciated the documentary. It was kind of boring, but I liked that it focused on the clear strength of the show, the production side of it. It was nice to see the people in action who were the clear winners behind the series' success.

It also kinda confirmed what I had already thought...D&D wanted so badly to have these huge momentous scenes/episodes, that the only way to accomplish their vision was to spend an incredible amount of time and effort on them, thus making it nearly impossible to have a standard 10 episode season to fully flesh out the characters and their storylines. Also, based on this documentary, it seems like the necessity to build a Kings Landing street set for Episode 5 was the primary culprit for the delay between airing Season 7 and Season 8.

They said a couple minutes prior that the cast were given the scripts 3 days prior to the table read and were allowed to read it if they wanted. That’s why some people knew when things were happening.

She was a dyed in the wool capitalist.

She had thermal underwear and hand warmers for the cold shoots and "ice lollies" for the warm shoots.

The documentary made it pretty clear that everyone from the staff to the actors were burnt out.

eta: Well everyone except for that one Stark Guard.
