Trendy in what respect?

I understand why people would not want to see such a show for a variety of reasons and that's all respectable, I haven't heard a good argument yet for why it shouldn't be made which seems to be the consensus of the internet social media mob.

It seems like alternate history shows are pretty common these days is all. So it's following MIHC and SSGB for example. And I'm sure there's a couple others like that.

It definitely should be made for the US audience. It'd be interesting. There's a high degree of risk.

Gotcha. I see your point and would agree except I think for this particular subject it's well overdue. As far as alt history goes, Americans ponder the Civil War outcome "what ifs" more than any other events, including WW2 and there hasn't been any major cinematic take on it yet. It did take a long time for Americans filmmakers to touch slavery though and only recently has it become prevalent subject matter so the timing of a project of this kind of scope makes sense.

I think it's valid. I just think it either becomes overly revisionist, or it will become slightly too incapable of extricating itself from the tag of being pro-slavery. Neither of which are easy to balance out.

Queen of Thorns is such a gangster

We're already about half way through the season. :x

Yeah she is.

Last two episodes have been great. Writers are clearly on a warpath to the end of the show now.

Loved that old lady. Shame she is gone.

SHUT UP!!!!

Mate, one thread to avoid. ONE!

Last episode may have been my favorite of the series.

Why did I implement the spoiler function, then?! :p

For daily chat and random spoilers in threads I assume. This is literally about the series you want to start watching and the 7th season no less.

[spoiler=]if you didn't want the show spoiled you shouldn't have read the thread about it. [/spoiler]

Alrightalright. But what about a guy who wants to talk about it and has only gotten one or two seasons in?!?!

Make a second thread. GoT for latecomers. But given how vast and complex it is, remembering who did what in which season is hard.

I hear ya. Posting spoilers in every post would probably be annoying. And I am likely the only one on the forum avoiding spoilers, anyway. I'll just avoid.

WOW!!!

Wow is right! Epic.

I wish they made movies this good.

Holy hell
