Now you know how Sense8 fans feel. Sorta...
CmdrZellgaudis
I bet HBO is partially behind the book delay. Or Martin finished the book and will be released years after his death.

And Winds of Winter still won't be released.

If someone has read the GoT books but doesn't mention it all the time, did they really read the books?

I just started watching the series this weekend so... I understood this reference!
CotterPyke
WHAAAT? NOOooo... so much catching up 4 u! And the books - if u can read them - are even better...

Plot twist: Dan and Dave AND GRRM all die before we get the conclusion to the story.
TheBlueMorpho
second half of 7th season?
GavinScreaming
8th season is 6 episodes
GoddammitMrNoodle
Oh fuck me sideways. Between Useless R.R. Martin and the late start to this season I can believe it. Maybe the fans should finish the series

George isnt really that slow. They are just progressing way too fast with the show and cutting critical content they SHOULD be using.
BishopBarghest
I have bad news from the future
Lowlsqwid
Anybody play the game of thrones game?(doesn't matter which)
BloodofHeroes
Wait... I thought this was the last season... so confused.
JoeBobBriggs
They better start one of the spin off series then. (Yes HBO is planning 4 spin offs of Game of Thrones)
SecurityChiefRocIngersoI
As a fan of The Venture Bros... Eat my asshole.
Kolob
Not true. They've already filmed most of the 8th season.
CotterPyke
How u know dis
Kolob
I don't know for sure. But I know that by the time season 6 was released, season 7 had already been filmed. So following that, i guess
Kolob
I am the three eyed raven
idontevenknowsillymonkey
I don't care anymore. S7 was supposed to be the LAST SEASON. First they were like "We're gonna cut the number of episodes but increase 1/
idontevenknowsillymonkey
the length of each episode, so you're actually getting more content!" Then they ended up with "We're cutting the number of episodes in the2/
idontevenknowsillymonkey
season, keeping episode length the same, and we're dragging the series out into another season that's also going to have like 6 episodes!"3/
idontevenknowsillymonkey
Honestly it's just fucking stupid and I want to get to the end of this show already.

I'm going to need some milk if the poppy
GoddammitMrNoodle
Don't hog it all... pass it down the line.
ShiningForce
If the poppy what?
orangecicle
Damn. I was gonna say that.
Draevan13
If it means making it 10 or more episodes for the final season, sure. This 7 episode season feels rushed.
CotterPyke
they're only making 5 more after this season.
ballsohard2202
Oh my god. I see this all the time but at this point, what other plot lines are they supposed to follow?
Thekingofbeans
It's compressed so the budget can focus on the main points.
teabaggerino
Season 8 is going to be six.
CotterPyke
i thought 5? Tho? 13 total.
lilskank
I thought it was supposed to be 6 episodes, with each of them feature-length.
iWantATurtle
I heard it was gonna be 8. They split it 7 and 8 cause there were 15 ep. remaining. Could be wrong
StopLookingAtMyName
I'll be okay with it if the 8th season is more like the first 6. So far, season 6 has been too quick. Too many story lines have faded away.
CotterPyke
Yes they are glossing over -huge- story elements and ignoring others completely.Like, how could Cersei blow up the great sept and all 2/
CotterPyke
the population of Kings Landing doesnt just panic and GTFO? And, Jon left the Wall! yet everybody just accepts that, no questions asked?
StopLookingAtMyName
Also annoys me how quick some of the battles were. I've said it before, the battle of the Greyjoy fleets should've been an episode.
ballsohard2202
That'd just be too expensive sadly
CotterPyke
The CGI budget strikes again... probably also the reason we haven't seen Ghost since Castle Black.
kawwmoi
"Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. -etc" Jon died. His watch is done.
CotterPyke
HE knows that, WE know that-but no one else in Westeros knows! Even Sansa doesn't seem to know that.
ballsohard2202
It's implied they do. Dany seems to have an idea when she asks him about what davos said. Things like that tend to spread at least in rumors
embrew24
It's going to kill any enthusiasm for the show. These things kill all shows that attempt it. GoT will not be any different if they try it.
ThisUsernameContainsNoCreativity
What do they care if it kills the show its already going to be the last season.
ThisUsernameContainsNoCreativity
If all shows die from trying this, tell me whats going on with rick and morty right now?
CotterPyke
i thought that might happen waiting for book 6? I'd guess if they dont release it soon, they'd be shorting themselves book sales-but IDK 2/
CotterPyke
shit about book marketing so what do i know (nothing). And i'm convinced its not GRR that's delaying the book its the publishers.He's 3/
CotterPyke
doing all sorts of other projects and even working on a GOT encyclopedia, yet. So I think book 6 is already done by now.
HeWhoPours
Can't think of a reason why publisher's would not want to release the books while the lust for the books and tv series is at a high. 1/
HeWhoPours
2/ Makes zero sense financially. Get the fans of the show to buy the books while they are enthralled. George needs to edit the next book(s)
DeathToSwans
Yeah just rumours people. Likely it will be 2020.
ASongOfPissAndFarts

Just in time for the next book to be delayed
badatediting
1: would be better off without season 8. 2: 2020 is.... *gestures wildly around* not optimal
aleister94
This would be great actually this give me time to make a friend to watch the last season with
OriginalNameDoNotSteal
You had 7 years.... It's not going to happen. I'll be your buddy
aleister94
Cool, I didn't really learn about it till last year and I wanted to read the books first
OriginalNameDoNotSteal
If your waiting for the books to end, before finishing the show, you got PLENTY of time
aleister94
I'm just waiting to watch the show with a friend which is difficult with my crippling social anxiety
InappropriateAbeLincoln
As a book reader, I am used to waiting years. Still, it would be nice if we could wrap this up before I die.
Altas85
Lets hope Trump/Kim are both fans, so they can put off the nuclear war until the season ends!
HaulinOats
He won't release the next book before the series ends. Builds more hype. More money
BookieeWookiee
More like before he dies
HeyThereShittyShittyFagFagShittyShittyFagFagHowDoYouDo
Took the words right out my mouth! Correction, took the letters from my fingers

Roqinn
I never could get into that series. I didn't even make it half way through book one.
Cheomesh
Same; I lasted about 50 pages before I had too many people to care about.
Alrightyouwin
Is that the series Sanderson picked up? How's he doing?
Stubfu
Yeah. Check out his Mistborn and Stormlight series, great stuff.
Alrightyouwin
I've already obsessively read mistborn. He's amazing.
soliddreams
He finished it and made it not suck, Matt was fantastic under him
Alrightyouwin
Good to hear. I never got into wheel of time so it's nice to hear from someone who was a fan.
soliddreams
Jordan got distracted with the loads and loads of characters, and Sanderson streamlined it
cooplander
Thatguyonline
That's why he'll die right before finishing the last book

I re-read the books leading up to a new release. It refreshes my memory and keeps me occupied.
SolarPoweredKeyboard
I enjoy other books too, but at the rate A Song of Ice and Fire are released I have time for both.
Phoenixbreed
Is it strictly fantasy? or do you read Sci-Fi as well?
SolarPoweredKeyboard
Not much sci-fi. Tried some (Ender's Game, Blade Runner, Dune?). Now it's mostly Brandon Sanderson.
Phoenixbreed
