Disappointing but not surprising given that they are starting from scratch again. I am surprised 2022 though, I would have thought summer 2021 would have been more realistic. I can only think they want to spend this year doing all the pre-production work for the entire season, film it next year and then release it mid-2022.

Re: Game of Thrones
GOT ended disappointingly, but I will give the new one a go when it comes out.

Is it not set 300 years before so there will be a complete new set of characters to get use to.

Re: Game of Thrones
There should have been a Hound spin off, he’s the only character we didn’t get enough of.

Re: Game of Thrones
Guys, I have only watched 2 episodes of GOT however I found it hard going. Is it easy to get into or is it a bit difficult to get into at first. What are your recollections of the first season of the show?

No l found it quite easy to get into although l am a big fan of fantasy when it is done right.
This is the basis of what it is all about.

Quote:
Set on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos, Game of Thrones has several plots and a large ensemble cast and follows several story arcs. One arc is about the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms and follows a web of alliances and conflicts among the noble dynasties either vying to claim the throne or fighting for independence from it. Another focuses on the last descendant of the realm's deposed ruling dynasty, who has been exiled and is plotting a return to the throne, while another story arc follows the Night's Watch, a brotherhood defending the realm against the fierce peoples and legendary creatures of the North.

Re: Game of Thrones
It takes a couple of episodes to work out who is who, what is going on, the different locations and where they are geographically. You start off in three principle locations; Kingslanding, Winterfell and Pentos. In order to understand the significance of where people are and the lapse in time (in the first episode the queen complains that it has taken them 4 months to get from Kingslanding to Winterfell) you should pay careful attention to the map in the opening credits. The map grows in detail as new locations are mentioned throughout the episodes.
GoT is one of the best series ever made and is defo worth watching. I mean this in the nicest possible way so don't take it the wrong way. You seem to be an ardent fan of soaps and I have spoken to many many people I work with who watch things like EastEnders and Coronations Street religiously and stuff like GoT and Star Trek blows their mind. I hope for your sake that you enjoy it and can get into it and if you do I strongly suggest you embrace your new found quality tv and expand your horizons to other series which you may have overlooked in the past and if time is a factor then ditch the soaps.
I can't even begin to compare or contrast Coronation Street with GoT and try and explain how much better it is, and I don't want to tbh. When you get into GoT it is like jumping into another world. The production quality is the best there has ever been in the world (literally), the story and characters are amazing. The thing I will say by way of a comparison is that both series are an ensemble cast but you will quickly realise in GoT that every character is fully fledged and matters. It doesn't matter how much screen time they have or whether they are a goody or a bady, you love all of them because they enrich the story and series and matter.
My words and hollow and I appreciate they mean absolutely nothing. GoT is quite literally something you have got to experience and see to believe. The good thing for you is that it is a blessing in disguise. Not only have you got the luxury of the series having ended and being able to watch all eight seasons at your leisure, you are potentially at home as party of the lockdown and there is nothing stopping you from indulging and ploughing through them one season a day Watch the first season and come back and let us know what you think. I'll be amazed if you aren't hooked. If you like it maybe you can start a petition to have it placed in Coronation Street's regular evening slot
