I was watching random interviews of cast members last night and I came across a Comic-Con panel with Carice in Paris and she said that when she first got the part and met DnD for the first time, they revealed to her what Melisandre's real age is, which is
I wonder if they'll ever reveal it to the audience, or if she'd reveal her true form to other characters on the show.
280.
Day 30 without GoT:
I don't know if this type of leak is ok to post ( Not really a leak). If not I'll remove it. According to some new casting info, Filming will go all the way until August 2018. I really hope that is wrong, because that would guarantee a late winter/ early spring 2019 season 8 release. Fook me. Also lots of new info today. What a morning!

Sapochnik back for 2 possibly 3 episodes is a dream come true. He can do the major battles with Nutter in between.
D&D did the best premiere (s4) and it makes sense they'd want the last episode. It's their show, and if the finale is shit they'll never live it down, they know the stakes lol

there's been a few
- beric says he loses a part of him every time he comes back
- jon acts differently for just 1 ep after he's back
- beric's convo with jon in regards to them 2 compared to everyone else
- i think jon's "i don't" response to danny's enjoying doing things they're good at had a double meaning
I think there's another since his res, but I forget. They have so much shit to unpack at this point, we will see what if anything comes up at this point.

They pretty much picked the two best directors for the series. Sapo is obviously the best, and Nutter is amazing at emotional heavy scenes. Hoping they do 5 together, with Sapo 3 and leave just one to double Ds.

So what is this nonsense about the army of the dead marching in a wolfs head formation in the final scene of the finale? Some Lyft driver was talking to me about that and I was looking at him like he was crazy.
BOATSEX IS CANCELED
Lol, I know... I thought for sure those two would end up together in real life. That on screen chemistry is just too much. Meh, I dont really care much for celebs, but he's young, rich, famous, and good looking. It's gonna be tough for him, espcieally since him and Rose have been off and on. These types of things usually don't work out in Hollywood. But best of luck to them though. Poor Emilia :'( ... I am avaible though if your reading this

For reference...
Dang. What about S7?

It was supposedly around $100 million, but note that puts the per episode cost about on par with what they're saying for S8.

I dunno, I was too lazy to google beyond that little bit, lol.

I was hoping for 20 million tbh.

Yeah, best not get too hyped by those numbers because episodes will probably be longer, so in terms of dollars per hour, it might not be that much of a visibly bigger budget, if at all.

Honestly I am kind of wondering where the money went this season.
The actors probably:
Emilia Clarke, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Peter Dinklage, Kit Harington, and Lena Headey each got paid 500k per episode. That's $2.5 million of the episode budget tied to those 5 alone. The price to use the same locations are probably going up in price, in addition to the actors pay.

I wonder how much secondary, tertiary and extras, both speaking and non, all get.
The dothraki/dragons attacking Jamie and Bronn was crazyyy expensive, or it had to be. A crazy battle sequence with a CG dragon destroying an army
You know, now that i think about it, it wouldnt suprise me if the actors pay raises played a role in making season 7, 7 episodes instead of 10. HBO probably told D&D the budget and they had to decide between a longer season, but leave out something like the dragon attack, or shorter season and keep it. In one of the behind the scenes videos, they talked about how expensive the undead polar bear was to do and how they were never able to afford it before. I wish HBO would've said" fuck it, here's an extra 30 mil, make this a 10 episode season".

Are you dense or blind? Go watch "The Spoils of War". Specifically the last 20 minutes. There you go, that's where the money went.
3 extra episodes would not make them 30 mil extra in profits. Seems like an easy choice to me.
Yeah, and I'm thinking Episode 6 was probably a costly one too.
It probably would of with that extra month of subscriptions.
WaffleTaco

Probably unfortunately. They do deserve it though.
It was nice and looked good, but considering that was their big battle of the season, I was expecting something more.

Who do you guys think Arya will kill if she actually does at all? I dont even consider her a character anymore, rather a embodiment of the Chekhov's Gun trope. I dont really see any characters she could take out anymore since the only two enemies are Cersei and Euron lol. I do think since the end of Season 5 her plot has been rather awful. One could argue that her killing the Freys was her fulfilling what her training could do. What are your guys thoughts?
Cersei while wearing Jaimes face. But idk, after slashing LittleFingers throat, I feel like her plot is done as well.
WaffleTaco

I would hate if Arya killed Cersei. It would feel like ultimate wish-fulfillment for Arya. Sure she would be wearing Jamies face, but it wouldnt be Jamie.
Oh damn i forgot lol. Maybe its this. I could also see Varys being a choice.
Melisandre. They telegraphed it this season when Melly said she would return to Westeros a final time to die.
There is a zero percent chance he's bad. He told a dead man (Ned) of his true intentions. You don't lie to a dead man
There's literally no point
That would be TWD Carol levels of character assassination
But why though? Mel was on Arya's shit list due to the whole Gendry thing, as were the Brotherhood. Gendry and the boys are all squared up, yet Arya still holding a grudge for him? Seems weird to me.
I can't see any other way for her to go. They've been following up on 'abandoned' plotlines for 2-3 seasons now and they clearly had Melly tell Arya they would meet again.
WaffleTaco

Doesnt mean Arya will kill her. Jon/Davos would though. Gotta see how Gendry feels. Could be the reason Gendry doesnt end up with Arya.
Really though? I mean...he was working behind the scenes to put who on the throne this whole time? It couldnt have been Daenerys at first, so it would have to had been Viserys and he should have known through Illyriro that Viserys wasnt in the right mindset. So he picks Daenerys, based on what? Having three dragons? The point Im trying to make is Varys plot had little cohesiveness to it.
Yeah, but Ned wasnt supposed to die he was supposed to take the black. And lol Carols character was not assassinated at all, they choreographed her arc completely.
Varys knew he was gone.
"I trust you do know you're a dead man?"
I mean even if he came out alive and went to the wall, he still poses no threat. He was never going to have any power ever again
He's got absolutely no motive to tell lies to him
Your daily updates help with the waitDay 35 without GoT:
Today is EP4 of the rewatch - Cripples, bastards, and broken things. Almost halfway done with season 1! This rewatch is definitely helping with the wait.
My brother and I just started season 2
Awe thanks. I have a little too much free time in the mornings when I'm at work, sitting in my office, so I just share whatever pops up on reddit and makes me laugh. Keeps me busy lol.

Random thought: I wonder what the wall will look like during the opening now
