now we can speculate why the episode count is lower...too much $$$ blown on FX

Also spent more time filming than the previous seasons per the episodes.

Sure it's going to have alot of plot holes, but I'm sure the fan service is going to be really good!

Season 8 though is worrying. 6 episodes to end the story does not make sense. It's like getting to the end of The Two Towers and deciding the 3rd film to wrap up the story, only needs to be 15 minutes long.

Not shocked they've ret-conned Grey Worm having nothing down below, just so they can get in a Missandei sex scene.

I guess there's a quota fulfilling Asha/Ellaria lesbian sex scene too look forward to too though going by the trailer!

Actor Sir Roger Moore, best known for playing James Bond, has died aged 89, his family has announced.

He played the famous spy in seven Bond films including Live and Let Die and A View to a Kill.
Sir Roger's family confirmed the news on Twitter, saying he had died after "a short but brave battle with cancer".
The statement, from his children, read: "Thank you Pops for being you, and being so very special to so many people."
"With the heaviest of hearts, we must share the awful news that our father, Sir Roger Moore, passed away today. We are all devastated," they said in a Twitter post.

The actor took the character of James Bond in a more humorous direction than his predecessor Sean Connery.

Sir Roger's Bond was calm and suave - a smooth operator who could seemingly get himself out of a tricky situation with ease.
The veteran star, who died in Switzerland, will have a private funeral in Monaco in accordance with his wishes, his children said.
"The love with which he was surrounded in his final days was so great it cannot be quantified in words alone," read the statement from Deborah, Geoffrey and Christian.
"Our thoughts must now turn to supporting Kristina [Tholstrup, his wife] at this difficult time."
The statement added: "We know our own love and admiration will be magnified many times over, across the world, by people who knew him for his films, his television shows and his passionate work for UNICEF which he considered to be his greatest achievement.

Along with his famous Bond role, Moore was also known for TV series The Persuaders and The Saint.
Sir Roger was also well known for his humanitarian work - he was introduced to Unicef by the late Audrey Hepburn and was appointed as a goodwill ambassador in 1991.
Stars pay tribute
Russell Crowe led the tributes to the actor on Twitter, writing simply: "Roger Moore, loved him."
Michael Ball said: "My dearest uncle Roger has passed on. What a sad, sad day this is. Loved the bones of him. Generous, funny, beautiful and kind."
Mia Farrow wrote: "Few are as kind & giving as was Roger Moore. Loving thoughts with his family & friends," while Boy George added: "RIP Sir Roger Moore. He was the king of cool."
Duran Duran, who sang the Bond theme song for A View To A Kill, simply tweeted: RIP Roger.
In a statement, fellow Unicef ambassador and actor Ewan McGregor said: "Thank you, Roger, for having championed so tirelessly the rights of all children for the last 26 years.
"You've shown that we all have the power to make a change to the lives of the most vulnerable children."

Truly bizarre seeing them pretend Izzy wasn't a major factor.

I like Izzy, but let's be honest they pretended this in interviews in the early 90's too and that was still with Slash/Duff there.

Outside of Lockerbie and the London bombings in 2005, this is got to be the worst terrorist attack not committed by the IRA in this countries history or certainly in my life time.

You'd have to ask on HTGTH or I guess Mandy maybe to see if they know, no idea.

You know it's those party leaders votes that are the reason the Tories have the numbers they do. In contrast to popular believe current polls show Labour around where they were in 2015 which was almost a hung parliament.

It's UKIP votes that are pushing the Tory surge and some from SNP areas in Scotland, because they're pushing the Tories are the only real opposition party against Scottish Independence angle.
