You should be ashamed of yourself.
You are literally worse than Joffrey.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
feck, I want that Joffrey motherfecker to die

I have a love-hate relationship going on with him atm. Hope he doesn't notice
Was the most recent episode the season finale?
No. Next episode.
Season finale tomorrow.
Can't wait for tomorrow
I'm jumping straight into the books after tomorrow's finale, there's no way I'm going to wait a year for the next season.

It's going to be a sad sad day.
What time do you think it will be available on the net?
About 5AM.
Assuming you want to report the thieving bastards, you can expect these immoral pirates to put the torrents up by the early hours of tomorrow morning following its viewing in the US tonight.
I normally wake up 4:30-5amish and by that point its already on websites which I regularly report to the authorities.
I think it was available at 3am England time last week, but that's about when I've seen it too.
It's usually up at around 4:30AM CEST. At least where I get it.
It's 75 minutes long too isn't it?
That's a good point.
GOOD!
It damn better well be!
Egad... another fecking 8 months or whatever... I can't bear the wait
Has there ever been a show so popular that they made two seasons a year? It's hard to imagine them actually getting to book 7 if they only do a book a year, has a drama on HBO ever run for 7 seasons, one with this sort of huge cast and costumery and CGI?
Well the producers have made it clear that the series is only their adaptation, and not a book-to-screen direct translation. So there's no guaranteeing that they'll spend each season covering a certain book.
As for HBO running a show for 7 seasons...well they run the Sopranos for 6 seasons, with each season averaging around 13 episodes, so I don't see why it wouldnt be feasible that they could run GoT for 7 or so seasons.
Entourage ran for 7 seasons but I don't know whether they made 2 seasons a year.
There's also no reasons why a season has to be 10 episodes (though season 3 has been confirmed to be 10). I think The Sopranos had a two-part season at one point and basic cable tv shows sometimes consider their winter and summer airings of a show to be separate seasons (Burn Notice comes to mind).
Game of Thrones will definitely be able to play out entirely on tv. HBO may cut the budget if the numbers don't work, but there's no indication that that's remotely the case since it's the third most watched HBO show ever. But there's no way the show gets canceled, especially since the vast majority of the source material is already written and there's a built in audience that will follow it through to the end, no matter how good the adaptation is.

Quite.
Also, I know a lot of people use the argument that surely it can't go on for that long, since the kids will have grown up, etc. But.. so what? Yeah, it won't be exactly like the books, but then it's already not exactly like the books. Game of Thrones the TV series is now separate from A Song of Ice and Fire the book series. The broad strikes, and many of the details, will certainly still be more or less the same, but there's no reason why they can't write the kids getting older by, say, drawing the storyline out over a larger in-universe time span.
[Does that count as book talk?]

I found a game of thrones stream...it was amazingly easy. It's on now of course I'm not watching it, just reporting it to superman and the justice league.
I'd like to be the first to request that my username be changed to Podrick.

Those are good examples, thanks. GOT is much more intensive a production, with it's costumes and SGI and sets, but these are encouraging signs.
I'd love to see them start to make 20 episodes a season and basically give us two seasons a year.
Pretty good finale, got to see some dragon fire, I'm officially pleased.
Will just have to forget this series exists for about 9 months.

Overall a good ending to the season. I didn't really follow the whole thing with dragons but honestly I'm glad that story line ended or will now evolve. Other than that I think too many things were left undone.
Disappointed it's over for a while.

The whole thing was awesome. The best was the ending.
I think it was supposed to mean the guy just completely underestimated the power of the dragons.
10 months till the next season. Sigh
Evil santa at the end was just feckin awesome
What I loved the most was how Theon got knocked on the back of his head after his speech 
It wasn't 75 minutes long! You cnuts got me excited there!
fecking great episode though. Has technology advanced enough for me to go to sleep for the next 8 or 9 months?

Excellent stuff... Some damn interesting storylines are good and ready for next season... I'll probably have to have at the books before then, though... I'm sooo curious as to what happens.
Expect me to be one of them booky cnuts come next season

Question: Who were the ones blowing the horn outside Winterfell? I assumed it was the Stark men sent to retake the castle, so once Finchy and the boys decided to feck off home what exactly happened? Why was Winterfell destroyed and why couldn't Bran and company go to the Stark men outside laying siege to Winterfell?
Presumably the cnuts from the Iron Islands set fire to everything and pissed out, causing everyone in Winterfell to die and then they left. The horn blowers were the ones sent to reclaim Winterfell I reckon but couldn't overcome the fire hence the Starks couldn't stay there under their protection. Winterfells' basically a bit of a shithole now.
Ah. But instead of running north to the Wall, wouldn't they have been better off going to the Stark men? They couldn't have all died, they were supposed to have outnumbered the Iron Islanders
Holy shit on a stick.
I don't think it was stark men who surrounded Winterfell, but I'm not sure.Not sure who else it would have been though.
Someone who has read the book in 5. 4. 3. 2...
Everything was on fire! Winterfell can't be safe right, it's basically naked!
