Pretty solid season. Can't wait until next year. Wife and I actually picked up the first book today. I will probably start reading the whole series and have it done by next season of the HBO show.
Was this the last one?
Loved the baby dragons!
Yeah I had a pretty strong hunch that those things were gonna hatch at one point in one of the books/seasons. Didn't expect the horse/barbarian dude to die though.
Does anyone else think 10 episode seasons should be a crime? Seems like a lot of shows are going that way nowadays. Each good show should have at least 20-24.
13 epis is pretty common. So is 11.
Yeah that's really what I meant. Shorter seasons.
Sometimes Fafnir is right, some shows can't handle it and maybe this is one of them (I don't know I haven't read the book), but I think a lot of dramas that have this level of action have been fine with the long seasons. Especially with the large universe and multiple main characters I think they could have easily done several mini-plots (4-5 episodes) throughout the season the way that
24 did it.
To be honest I've never felt that a drama was too slow or boring due to the length of a season. Maybe that's because I only watch good ones, I don't know. But anything that combines action with drama just always leaves me wanting more. It's like having a bag with only 10 potato chips.
