Premieres this Sunday. How are we all feeling about it?
I have a bitter taste in my mouth after GOT didn’t stick the landing. HOTD’s first episode is apparently great though so I think I’ll give it a go. Idk if I can set aside my GOT feelings and get into this series but we’ll see.

I’m looking forward to it. Do we know if the whole season is dropping at once, or if a new episode drops each week?

I'll watch it but I'm not super jazzed for it.

I like a big-budget HBO show so I will watch. It does not change my feelings about the ending of GOT.

S8 of GoT left me a little bit salty, still, but it's got dragons, so I am in.

H & I didn't watch GOT live and just binged it over the last year or so, so I'm not as salty as most with the ending. I'm excited for it.

I have been forbidden to watch GOT until I finish the books which is taking me a long time (by two friends who loved it until season 8), but I’m still planning on watching. I’m excited.

Use the excuse that the books will never be finished. I stopped reading them because they were too rambling after a while

Yes, I am going to watch.
I view this as an entirely separate situation than Game of Thrones. It’s their vision and their story from start to finish. Game of Thrones was an adaptation with no clear ending or source material. I felt like they were handcuffed in an odd way by the end of that series.
I’m ready for a fresh start.
It could definitely still suck.

It could definitely still suck. Reviews are really good from everyone so far. The source material being complete is a huge bonus and I don’t think they’re going to fuck this up. I don’t like spin-offs generally but I’m getting more excited.

I have missed the GOT costuming! She and the cloak are gorgeous.

I’ll be watching. DH will be home soon and then we’ll watch. I’m cautiously optimistic. The only good thing to come out of that last season of GoT were the live watch threads that we all went through together. Seriously y’all. It was such a joy to go through with you even though they fucked it up so bad.

I liked it minus one extremely disturbing scene. I feel like I’m mourning GOT all over again…it made me miss the characters so much.

I liked the first episode. Really liked Rhaenyra’s whole look in the last scene.

SS was like “does this have elves?” Because they look like Legolas. Then was like “wait…are they all related.”

I liked it overall, but I had a really hard time seeing Matt Smith as a Targaryen. I know him from other things too well for me to separate the actor from the character.
