Si sta tenendo il London Comic Con Winter; all'evento stanno prendendo parte Kit Harington (Jon Snow) e Olivia Cooke (Alicent Hightower). Secondo una fan che lo ha incontrato, Kit le avrebbe detto che in GOT sarebbe servito più tempo per rendere Daenerys Targaryen una regina folle; è l'ennesima critica al finale della serie da parte del cast.
Vogliamo una società socialista che corrisponda alle condizioni del nostro paese, che rispetti tutte le libertà sancite dalla Costituzione, che sia fondata su una pluralità di partiti, sul concorso di diverse forze sociali. Una società che rispetti tutte le libertà, meno una: quella di sfruttare il lavoro di altri esseri umani, perché questa libertà tutte le altre distrugge e rende vane.
Enrico Berlinguer
What is honor compared to a woman's love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms… or the memory of a brother's smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.
George R. R. Martin (A Game of Thrones)
The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect,
So hard to earn, so easily burned
In the fullness of time,
A garden to nurture and protect
It's a measure of a life
The treasure of a life is a measure of love and respect,
The way you live, the gifts that you give
In the fullness of time,
It's the only return that you expect
Neil Peart (The Garden)
Ernest Hemingway once wrote, ‘The world is a fine place, and worth fighting for.’ I agree with the second part.
Andrew Kevin Walker (Seven)
In this game that we’re playing, we can’t win. Some kinds of failure are better than other kinds, that’s all.
George Orwell (Nineteen Eighty-Four)
Sono tante le cose che non funzionano già a partire dalla metà della quarta stagione
Questa di Daenerys è una delle cose più lapalissiane dell'ultima stagione
Ma la lista è quasi chilometrica
"Power resides where men believe it resides. No more and no less."
Kit Harington ammette in un'intervista che ci sono stati degli errori nella conclusione di GOT (lo aveva già fatto l'anno scorso ma parlando informalmente con una fan):

Peter Dinklage sull'ultima stagione di GoT:
"People have been calling The Thicket a “passion project,” which sometimes implies that something is going to be some kind of vanity-project disaster. [Laughs.] I don’t know who came up with “passion project,” but it’s basically an actor who’s been with a project for a while."
"...I happen to be insanely proud of that show. I love that character. And I’m still good friends with and I love the creators, David and Dan. It was about ten years of our lives from the first time they told me about it to when we wrapped the final season. I raised two kids part time over in Ireland. There’s no shame in that. There’s only pride. And it was eight seasons..."
"I mean, it was sad (wrapping S8), but I didn’t really have anxiety, because at that point we were all ready to move on. For any sort of creative type, especially with what we do, we want to mix it up. The good thing about that show was the actors had quite a bit of time off between seasons. It was like half the year with Thrones, half the year off... And then by the time it was done, you don’t want to overstay your welcome with anything — a party, a TV show. So I think it was really time. There are some people who probably wanted to keep going with it on the financial end of things, ’cause we were doing very well for HBO. But creatively, it was a good time for everybody to move on from it."
"...I like the finale! You don’t have to agree with me... I can’t speak for anybody else’s opinion, and that’s what makes what we do fun, because everybody does have a difference of opinion and everybody gets to write about it and chat about it and drink over it and argue about it. It’s great. I mean, I think it means you’re doing something right. It’s like an old Irish way of looking at the world. There’s something wrong if everything’s OK. [Laughs.]"
