Seen the first 5 episodes now and must admit it is growing on me. The characters and character development is really great. Not that much action so far but I have a feeling that will change.

Anyone have some views on this series? :scat:

Maybe they planned to have short season 7 and 8 so they can conclude the series with a movie.
 
Personally, I would've rather had a 12-episode Season 7 followed by a 3-hour movie to wrap things up instead of Season 8. Thoughts?
HBO would want to keep GoT in the cultural conscience without any breaks so a short Season 7 would be the only option. It would be impossible to finish 12 episodes before ~June '17, and coming back in 2 years would be a bad move.
Personally, I'm not a fan of a series changing formats. The only success I can remember in recent times is Firefly to Serenity and there were 3 years between them. It would be like reading most of a book series and then continuing the series via a TV adaptation ... oh wait ... hurry up George!
 
Let's blame Winter. The only reason I can think of on why they gonna have a short season 7 is because 'Winter is Here', they have to shoot late to have all the snow. That means the show will be broadcast late and that will mess up HBO's programming schedule. But if they make season 7 with 7 episodes runs 1 hr 43 mins each. Problem solve.
