Valar Hiatus: The Game of Thrones offseason thread

@ASL_v2.0

I don’t believe I’ve ever encountered sincere support for the idea of a reboot beyond a sort of day dream fantasy (ie: it sure would be nice if we lived in a world in which … could happen), or, most commonly as “satire.” Which makes it more of a strawman than anything in my view. Perhaps it’s a defense mechanism for those who really liked the show, but find it difficult to counter critical appraisals?

There was sincere support in the S8E06 thread, which is what the quoted posts of Bijou Drains were responding to.

For example:

@Bijou_Drains

The idea of redoing the season is a really dumb idea . Does anyone really think that is possible?

@GreysonCarlisle

It would make money, so yes.

@Bijou_Drains

and what other show has ever redone a season due to some fans throwing a tantrum?

@GreysonCarlisle

Again, it would make money. Nothing else really matters.

Call it a tantrum if you want, but the season still sucked. And nothing else really matters.

etc…
