Maybe each episode will have a longer runtime.  :)

Would be nice if they said "Go ahead with ten episodes, but 'fill' that 30% increase with character development and other non-CGI needed story telling!"
"If you think this has a happy ending, then you haven't been paying attention."

or more nudity, which costs nothing.

At least they get paid.
The way we are going, the west will become a socialist cesspool in a couple decades.

We have been a socialist cesspool for a hundred years or so. I am not really clear on how we could become more of a socialist cesspool. We simply lack the money...ironically.

Of course they get paid.  Who does not get paid, even in socialist countries?

The US was built on socialism, the government spending insane amount of money to build railroads, chase the French, the Indians and the Mexicans with the army, use the army to control criminal bands, give lands to railroad companies who sold them to settlers, all I see is government everywhere.  Kinda like Israel, actually, another socialist cesspool.

Oh israel has always been a socialist cesspool, less so now than it used to be.
Very easy to exploit the hard work and creativity of the jewish people in the name of the collective, er i mean the government. We are all easily scared.

Check the low quality vid.  Don't know if he calls here 'auntie' though...

I am rather pessimistic about the coming season.  I only hope that they don't continue the Hollywoodization of the story and actually know what they're doing with the remaining two seasons.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I actually thought the last season was one of the best.

With Habs.

There is quite a lot of reverting to some very standard Hollywood writing starting to creep in...

Do you have any examples? the only thing I can think of is the buddy cop scenes in Dorne, but that was season 5 IIRC. However, it's been a year so I might have pushed them from my mind.

I will burn D&D's houses down if the last shot is Daenarys and Jon riding Drogon into the sunset.

The entirety of the Battle of the Bastards episode?  Rohirrim--er, sorry, Knights of the Vale riding to the rescue?  Arya getting gut-stabbed for prancing around in open view like an idiot, then magic-healed? The stupid chase sequence with Arya and the Faceless Terminatrice? Arya magically showing up out of nowhere to kill Walder Frey and sons with zero lead-up?

Those are just the examples that come to mind instantly.
