This is one of if not the most popular TV series in history. For sure 100% of you heard about it and 80% is watching it regularly.
In short summary for those who aren’t familiar with it (if you exist dear reader). Game of thrones is a TV series based on fantasy saga called “Song of ice and fire”. It’s main plot is divided between many characters around continent of Westeros. After long war between mostly 3 houses, Baratheon, their allies Stark and former dragon riders Targaryens. All signs are leading us to a new war for the only Iron Throne that rules over 7 kingdoms placed over continent. However new threat is coming from far north where ancient evil White Walker has awaken.
Okey, enough.
Why am i actually choosing this topic. Right now last, 8th season is airing. It was supposed to be greatest 8h of series in all times. So far it was great and many people couldn’t wait till this moment happens. Producers chose to make only 6 episode that lasts over 70 mins each to show us what HBO is capable of. Also they postponed premiere for half a year to make it even better… Result is crushing… in a wrong way.
From the best series that was twisting our brains with plot twists and intrigue on every step. It became repetitive, boring, cheap and sometimes ridiculously stupid. Only one episode left and internet is furious. Every channel on YouTube, every web page is criticizing it and pointing every mistake. And who is really surprised after all the hype producers have created. After all this effort we have got plot holes, bad scenario, dumb mistakes on every step. Even starbucks got free ad due to coffee cup that was left on a table during shooting.
There are also many other problems with it but i don’t want to spoil anything as there might be person left that haven’t seen it yet but is willing to do so, so i won’t give you any details but i’m really interested in yours opinion.
- Are you watching GOT right now? If yes, what is your opinion about current season. If no, why not? Maybe you should give it a try, even if this season is a disaster.
- How do you think this show will end?
- What is your general opinion about fantasy and its screening?
- If you read books (song of ice and fire), what was better?

Yes, I'm watching GoT. The story is great and whole fictional world are unbelievable addictive. The last episode is coming...
2. How do you think this show will end?
Arya will merry Tyrion and their child will sit on the iron throne. Denerys will come back to Meereen to rule people who love her. John Snow will die, but I can not imagine how. Maybe Denerys will kill him?
3. What is your general opinion about fantasy and its screening?
I love fantasy, and I loved screening until 8th season. I have to say that scenes are still breathtaking and special effects are making great impression, but the problem is in scenario, where almost nothing makes sense right now.
4. If you read books (song of ice and fire), what was better?
I haven't read the books yet. I will wait till I forget what was the story about and maybe then give it a try.
I have no idea how it will end. Surely for now the show is bringing a lot of money, so nobody wants to end it.
I like fantasy movies. Thanks to them I can move to another world. This is more interesting than films based on our reality for me.
I did not read this book. But thanks to this question, I know where the text "Iron from ice" came from.
Now I don't look Game of thrones, stopped for 3-5 series 6 season. In general all seasons I listened. So that I don't know as a half of actors looks.
2.How do you think this show will end?
Officially announced that season 8 is the last.
3.What is your general opinion about fantasy and its screening?
It is interesting to watch fantasy after reading a book to compare them.
4.If you read books (song of ice and fire), what was better?
No, didn't read. I'm not very interested in the events of the game of thrones, just see who occupies the throne. There is no time for books, it is easier for me to listen to the series than to read a book.
I thing the Show ends death Daenerys Targaryen with hands John Snow. This scenario is very possible because like legend say that dragon queen can only kill the blade of his beloved.
From as a child I love fantasy books. My first novel was Narnia the story of silver chair. After reading this there was nothing else to do like read all the most popular fantasies. Such as: Lord of the Ring or Eragon.
I didn't’ read any of series GOT book to lack of time caused by work. I regret because my sister read this books and she told me that this series is incredible. Maybe I will read one day.
I will probably watch all episodes will come out.
2. I honestly have no idea. Unfortunately, we waited so much for the new season that it is worth remembering the previous ones.
3. I'm not a fan of fantasy but I like the Game of thrones.
4. Unfortunately, I haven't read books in this series.
I think that what hurts the most is a fact that fans theories were way better than real show :(
Yes, i'm watching GOT now, i can't say that everything is so bad, but definitely not the way how they can finish those episodes, not so fast at least.
2. How do you think this show will end?
John Snow will be on iron throne and Daineris will die in the last episode.
3. What is your general opinion about fantasy and its screening?
I'm not the fan of fantasy genre, but GOT changed my mind 2 years ago. Really nice story with a lot of different characters and interesting plot.
4.If you read books (song of ice and fire), what was better?
I didnt read that book.
2. No idea.
3. As I said before, I am not keen on fantasy at all with an exception of Star Wars which I really like (the real Star Wars which consist of six episodes and Expanded Universe). Dragons, magic and dark ages don’t attract me, but it is very possible that I simply don’t know enough of it.
I'm watching it right now. And think that series are complete disaster. But I watched whole series inly 2 years ago, soI had a chance to compare seasons over the time. And I think starting from season 5, show runners always preferred twists and epic moments to plot. So season 8 just became a culmination of few seasons plat wholes and screenplay writers laziness.
How do you think this show will end?
I don't know, but I bet on trivial and boring ending where John Snow will take a dragon, make him kill Daenerys and will become a king.
What is your general opinion about fantasy and its screening?
I think that Game of Thrones raised level of how fantasy should be filmed mixing reality with magic, politics and dragons, and so on and so forth. But for know I think everyone is tired from such genre, at least so dark style. Everyone is more headed up on new Harry Potter universe films.
If you read books (song of ice and fire), what was better?
I didn't read books, so I cannot judge. But my friend always love to say that book is better, even if it had a lot of plot holes.
I'm not thinking about the end. I'm just enjoing what is presented to me in that perticular moment.
When it comes to fantasy and its sceneering I really like watching this. New effects in movies are that good that you dont see that something is rendered that easly.
I didn't read a book but Its in my to do list
How do you think this show will end?
I'm watching GOT right now, I've been watching it from the beggining. It's incredibly dark, amazing and I love it, but the last season is somewhat dissapointing. The firt episode was nostalgic, but next ones were worse and worse and worse. I think that Danny will become the Mad Queen, but secretly I want that Jon Snow will kill her.
What is your general opinion about fantasy and its screening?
I'm a big fan of the LOTR and I think it's a good example of the succesfull fantasy screening. Unfortunately, there are a lot of fantasy movies which have been poorly made.
If you read books (song of ice and fire), what was better?
I tried to read the book, but I stopped before even reaching half of it. I don't know why, but it was dull for me.
Sorry, I won't read your presentation, but I will try answer your questions.
1. I am big fan of GoT. Today is the premiere of the final episode, so I will watch all episodes of 8 season in next week.
2. Probably the North will make a truce with The Others.
3. I will say it in one word - masterpiece. This is the best Tv-Show I ever watched.
4. I haven't read books, so I can't answer that question.
Unfortunately, I watch this season. I do not like it. With waiting for another development of events. But, so far everything is talking about the failure of my expectations, alas. Well, I also damn sorry dragons.
2. How do you think this show will end?
Definitely, yes. They already promise a new show in this universe. But it’s not even possible to call it a spin-off. Since the characters are not duplicated at all and events that happened a thousand years ago will be shown.
3. What is your general opinion about fantasy and its screening?
I really like fantasy. Thanks to G. Martin for these books. He created a wonderful world.
4. If you read books (song of ice and fire), what was better?
I read the first three books. I liked them more than the show, but they are completely different. And the events are different. Therefore, it is difficult to answer unequivocally.
No, unfortunately I do not watch GoT, because I think this series is extremely boring. What can I say, I watched the half of the first season and how few of the series caused that I just wanted to sleep after starting the episode.
2. How do you think this show will end?
Unseen because I do not watch this season and have not watched earlier seasons, I can not help how the show will end.
3. What is your general opinion about fantasy and its screening?
I really like the fiction in book versions. When it comes to screening versions, I am always afraid of skipping many delicate stories that give history an extra dimension.
4. If you read books (song of ice and fire), what was better?
No, I have not read this series, but maybe at some point I will start to read it, to see what it is.
I think that Jon would be a king of the seven kingdoms and Daenerys will be killed by her own dragon ( That would be awesome !).
I have read books and I have to say that first 4 seasons was better as books were really detailed sometimes to much for me, politics etc.
Yes, I'm watching GOT every Monday. This season is quiet different from previous ones, but interesting. The main characters have changed a lot though seasons and now most of them become much more stronger and depressed. I like GOT for its unique characters that aren't ideal, they made a lot of mistakes, and their decisions were made because of their points of view, values etc.
2. How do you think this show will end?
In my opinion, Jon Snow will be on the Iron Throne, Daenerys will be killed by Aria.
3. What is your general opinion about fantasy and its screening?
I like fantasy so much! GOT had raised the fantasy to a new level with its visual effects, costumes and scenario. Now fantasy is not only a war war of good with evil.
4. If you read books (song of ice and fire), what was better?
Unfortunately, I didn't read books.
Yes, I am watching GOT. I think the last season is not so bad, as it is shown on the internet. Yes, there are some mistakes or plot holes, but in general, I like it. I hope the last episode will be great...
2. How do you think this show will end?
I am not sure, I have some interesting ideas, but I don't want to write them, because it can spoil the last season of GOT to someone.
3. What is your general opinion about fantasy and its screening?
In general, I am a huge fan of fantasy in all its appearances. So, I like books and TV series and films and games. I hope, that with time there will be a lot of great TV series and films in this genre.
4. If you read books (song of ice and fire), what was better?
I liked them very much because there was a very detailed description of politics, relationships between characters and the overall writing I think is great.
I don't watch it yet. But I saw a couple of episodes from the first season, and the quality of this series is really impressive. I have plans to continue watching. I really do not know when it will be. But I think the show that creates so much noise around is worthy of attention.
How do you think this show will end?
Of course. Any story, even a good one, has an end. But the author of this story is alive, maybe he will come up with something else. Who knows.
What is your general opinion about fantasy and its screening?
Well, as I said earlier, I watched only a few episodes from the first season. And did not reach the plot lines where there is a fantasy. But I see the reaction of people in my environment. It seems really impressive. I can give an answer about this a little later, after watching.
If you read books (song of ice and fire), what was better?
Sorry, I can not yet say. Since I can not compare. I think at the beginning I will get acquainted with the on-screen version. Maybe if it is impressed then I will continue in the book version.
I haven’t watched the last season as I am watching 4th right now. I heard that this season is a big pile of turd but I will probably give it a try once I get through all of the previous ones.
2. How do you think this show will end?
Absolutely no idea.
3. What is your general opinion about fantasy and its screening?
I am not a huge fan of fantasy but I have to tell that I really enjoy watching this tv series.
4. If you read books (song of ice and fire), what was better?
I haven’t read the series but from what I heard, those seasons are really good screening of the story, at least some of them.
In my opinion Jon will kill Daenerys and reluctantly ends up ruling. Or everyone dies.
I didn’t read any fantasy book with screen adaptation besides Hobbit. Hobbit was good movie and I enjoyed it.
I didn't read that book
2. Well this blond girl with dragons Daenerys Targaryen or something will kill all her enemies then she will sit on this iron throne and slice her finger on one of these sword embedded there and die because of tetanus or maybe this will be haemorrhoids well she will die and then dragoon will eat her and acquire intelligence after that he will enslave humans and start to rule them. THE END
3. I like them and they should make more of them
it is negative which I do not understand. It seems to me that people really dislike this season because they did not predict how they would go
threads.
2. It's hard to say, after all, this is Game of Throne :) there is nothing predictable.
3. I think that good screening will not hurt. An example may be the Lord of the ring where history really has been very good filmed.
4. Unfortunately I have not read books :( I have plans to read only I need to find some time and desire

I didn’t see the last season as I decided to reconsider a couple of penultimate ones, because if it’s not the last season, I have nowhere to hurry. But it is difficult to bypass spoilers on the Internet and in life as well as the truth - almost every second watch it. But for now, like a matrix, I'm swerve the key spoilers, but the fact that last season is a huge disappointment is hard to miss. I even heard that there is a petition to re-enact the season and it was signed by 1 million people. It is clear that no one will be reconsidered, but this impressive figure shows how bad everything is.
Actually not becouse i am not interested in GOT, this Universe is not that interesting, in general i don't like real movies, i love cartoons or anime :D
2. How do you think this show will end?
Yea it Would in couple of years when funbase will be bored or if they made a big disaster and mistake
3. What is your general opinion about fantasy and its screening?
In general Fantasy is Great but don't let Fantasy to be fully inreal, it must be overreal but dont like destroing whole universe in one hands clap ;/
4. If you read books (song of ice and fire), what was better?
i've didn't read books :/ sorry
2. As I know nothing about it I have no idea.
3. As I said in the first answer, except for games, I strongly prefer science fiction and future-like content.
4. I haven’t read the saga but my girlfriend had and her opinion is that the books are better than series. She told me that it’s mainly because of focusing on the valuable content and not on some eye-catching, unnecessary publicity stunts.
2. Like I said, I only got to season 3 so I have no idea who is still alive, but I really do hope the dragon girl won’t take the iron throne because personally speaking, that would be a major disappointment.
3. Most fantasy books are too long and most long fantasy series are too long and should be trilogies at the longest or stand alone novels. I prefer stand alone novels in general.
4. No, I haven’t read the books
I havent seen a single episode, i dont know why people care so much.
How do you think this show will end?
Dragon will melt the throne, and the blonde lady will die.
What is your general opinion about fantasy and its screening?
Its very badly done now, mayby it will get better in the future
If you read books (song of ice and fire), what was better?
Never
