Movies would be awful. Not in terms of quality, but being with people in the cinema who won't shut up. I'm an anti-social viewer all the way. Also, wouldn't movies be hard to distribute around the world in terms of dubbing and stuff? I don't want to wait nor watch a dubbed version, and original movies aren't played often here if you don't live in a bigger city with a Cineplex, Cinemaxx or whatever. What I could see happen is for season 7 to be shot on a movie budget , not that 100 M is not a movie budget! Maybe for 200 million and then shown in ten episodes on tv first... edited to a 2.5 hour movie and shown in IMAX. We will have to see if HBO does the IMAX experiment again with season 5. They may show eps 8-10 next January , we shall see. (I am thinking the 200 M figure to cover some expensive CGI)

The budget increases every year, we can probably expect at least one epic battle in season 6. I seem to remember seeing that HBO put up 100 million dollars for season 5 , that's a lot , about 30 million more than for previous seasons. Despite some back trending scores for episodes season 5 I think this is going to be a successful season for HBO. So they may put up even more money for season 6. Tho, god-only-knows were the story goes! It seems sure now that the Breaking of the Siege or Meereen will not be in season 6. George said there were two battles in Winds, I really wonder if the 'Battle of Winterfell' will be one of them? If this is done it need not be a full episode , could be HardHome style. I worry about the 'can we top that' syndrome that plagues so many comic book movies , tho I have got to say it passes beyond my understanding how the box office stays up when the story is just a repeat with a few more explosions. I kind of figure the Big Ragnarök with the Others will have to be in Season 7, so what's in season 6.(For that matter what's in Winds of Winter!?!) Speaking of season 7, we are in the odd position of waiting till season 6 for season 7 to be green lighted. Except it seems de facto knowing that contracts have been extended for a season 7. One wonders if HBO is trying to see just how well this season did and how the their evaluation of the season 4 IMAX showings. I still think there could be some kind of 'movie' deal. It was indeed an experiment by HBO to show S4 episodes IMAX , episodes that had already been seen by TV viewers. George would like a movie intimating that one needs that canvas for the BIG CGI needed. We shall see, could be something strange announced next year. Don't forget they have a new source of income with HBO Now. I'm sure they got many viewers who subscribed to that just for GoT, and it's why HBO launched it with the new season. I definitely think it will be a successful season for them, and with hype levels off the chart after Hardhome, ratings should be very good for the final two episodes. I'm sure next year's budget will be just as big if not higher.

This is jumping in "in media res" with a totally different focus, but I keep wondering how Bran will figure in Season 6. He's got to be a major, major player a la his dream in AGOT and the fact that he's finally made it to BR (and he's not been in this season at all, so it's time.) He's got to come into play about the time that the WW either do or don't make it through the Wall. What do you think?

So, pretty sure once Myrcella arrives in KL, Tommen is going to bite it and she'll have a brief stint as queen.

It's funny, because I've always had a hunch that Myrcella could be the younger more beautiful queen, which would be ironic since Cersei is afraid of being replaced and afraid of her children dying. She didn't even consider that her own daughter could be replacing her.

I really hope Cersei dies soon, she's just an awful human.

Since we were talking about movies, I have a question/statement:
I would freaking love a movie-prequel (or a spinoff season, what the hell) on the War of the Usurper.
Would you like it to happen (and why) and do you see it possible in the future?

^^ I 'd prefer a mini-series, I think it would work better, give more time to tell the whole story. And yes, IMO is possible they will do a prequel once GOT is over.

But since she tweeted it about, we'll probably get it sometime this week. Edit: Someone asked if she was going to post it tomorrow and she said yes.

Cool. But it'll be hard to find someone with those physical features and acting abilities. Does anyone know an actress like that?
