As the final season of “Game Of Thrones” draws to a close…
Only one question lingers in the minds of fans all around the globe… what are David Benioff and D.B. Weiss going to do to completely and totally mess it up?
I’m kidding, of course.
Season 8 hasn’t been as bad as some… well, a lot of people have been saying it has been.
We had Arya kill the Night King. Eh? Remember that? That was pretty cool.
More recently, we had Celganebowl.
That wasn’t so bad, was it champ?
Sure, Cersei died in a totally unceremonious way, but a lot of people don’t think she’s actually dead. I didn’t know she had anti-crumbling ceiling powers, but there you go.
And, we still have one more episode.
So who knows? Maybe the last couple episodes of Season 8 will be redeemed in the eyes of the haters in this final sequence. Then again, it’s the internet, so probably not.
But herein lies the true question…
What the heck are we supposed to watch after Game Of Thrones is done?
More importantly, what am I supposed to write about? Ah, who am I kidding, Avengers will be in theatres till next year. I’m good.
There may be an answer to our prayers…
Recently, HBO has announced they are going to come out with a Game Of Thrones documentary!
I know, I know, it was exactly what you were praying for!
It’s a documentary about Season 8.
It’s called Game of Thrones: The Last Watch, and it hits HBO May 26. We’re going to get insight into how one of the greatest shows ever to hit the silver screen is created.
The darn thing’s trailer opens with Kit Harington at his last reading, crying.
So you know it’s going to be chalked full of all sorts of juicy emotional moments.
And there’s Sophie Turner laughing at his tears in the background. Truly a good group of friends.
We then get the creators talking about “family”.
Either the Game Of Thrones cast works like a mafia or they’re trying to make us cry.
Seeing this poor family break up after capturing our hearts and minds for eight long years is tough!
Boom, round of applause.
Because of course there is.
When someone says “This is strange. Here we are at the last table reading, it’s like looking around and seeing your family” how is that not always immediately followed by applause?
Woosh, woosh, woosh.
Sped up shots of people working in the various sets.
Sparks fly as engineers build the complicated machines needed for props. Someone says: “each episode has enough content to be a feature film”.
Sweet.
Trailer bass booms: Once, Twice, Three times
Each time we see more and more fake snow being piled up, then someone says the iconic line: “Oh yeah, Winter is Coming”.
BOOM.
We cut to a bunch of people waiting for battle and someone says: “I can’t even imagine what this will look like on TV”.
Dark, my friend. Very dark.
Flames! Fake dragons! The Night King!
And then, it ends on Emilia Clarke’s last shot on Game Of Thrones … she wasn’t lying down or anything, however, she was standing on some rocks.
Could it be the ruins of King’s Landing?
Sounds sweet, doesn’t it?
Well, then why not watch the trailer for yourself, dear reader! I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed, or my name isn’t Jake Longfellow. Wait, hold on a minute…
