He has to keep his spare socks somewhere.

Yeah, they basically crammed what probably should have been three season finales (Night King, Cersei, Evil Dany) into one season. And a truncated season at that.

"Relentlessly appalling" is a touch melodramatic, no?

I remember a time when I genuinely thought this would be the greatest show ever. I just couldn't see it any other way. I've bought seasons 1 to 6 on Blu-ray, and thought I would watch them all again once the show had finished. And then season 7 happened. I didn't buy it on Blu-ray. And then season 8 happened. I won't be buying it either. I'm not knocking the final episode. It was better than it had any right to be. But it now all feels so far from what it could have been.

Well, I had part of this accidentally spoiled...

Christ, is that a Game of Thrones spoiler after I watched that? After the video finished playing, the next video preview has a title with huge spoilers in it! Just a word of warning for anyone.

This premieres on Channel 4 next Thursday at 9pm.

Why does everything have to be so binary? I know it's the internet, but still. It's not "fucking amazing". It's not "fucking shite". In terms of spectacle, the episode has it's moments. But it is rather tedious, overlong, and an ultimately disappointing and sudden end to eight seasons of build up with seemingly little consequence going forward (other than a few B-list deaths).

I got Alien yesterday which looks pretty incredible. There’s a shot early on down a long industrial corridor before the crew wake up, and the detail is amazing. Still 15 quid on Amazon as well.

It’s not peak GoT.

Who cares? It’s not like it’s going to actually happen.

I’m curious what’s so predictable about it.

I've been binging the US version of The Office over the last month or so, as I've never seen it. Up to season 5 and just started watching the fire drill episode. The pre-credits fire drill is amazing.

Best bit of the entire episode.
