I'm pretty sure Jorah has called her Your Grace before, maybe since she became queen or Mereen, but I'm not positive

I think it's your last guess there. Referring to her by a Dothraki title would only help reinforce the perception of her as a foreign conqueror.

Looking back and I didn't look up the season spoilers until this week since there is only 1 episode left to spoil. The number of people correctly "guessing" shit in episodes 1-3 is insane. I would say after next week we'll be free but filming on season 8 starts in October this year and they are getting the scripts now/next week pretty much as they get them 4-6 weeks in advance. I look forward to about 1 week after next Sunday when we can predict what happens before the leaks roll out and suddenly half of the people become prophets.

Yeah, very good guessers. Although this shit is really predictable now that it's source material is tv show tropes.

I'm still on the fence about buying the books. As soon as book 6 hits and I suspect it will in the next 6 months, it should clear up much of the details missed in this season. Going by name alone I sort of think the 6th book may be seasons 6+7/part 8 and the final book if ever completed may go well beyond what the show does.
GRRM is bound by HBO so he isn't even able to give input or contribute to Nightflyers on SYFY. If they greenlight one of the side projects of GoT/ASoFaI then he won't ever be out of HBOs grasp the rest of his life.
HBO prohibits creative thinking following that line. This is why we can't have nice things Scream.

I've read the books and have not watched any leak. Rather it is torrenting. Habitual motherfuckers gonna torrent. I don't usually torrent stuff anymore, maybe once or twice a year. Not at all ragging on those that do, dish tv plus netflix about covers all I care to watch.

So, I haven't watched the show in a long time because I just wanted to read the books. But a friend of mine doesn't have HBO and didn't feel like waiting for the Blu-Ray release, so I watched with him and caught up.
I feel like something is really wrong with this season. The pacing feels really off.

I find it really hard to believe that a guy can run back to the wall, send off a crow to Dany, and Dany can get back to where they are in such a (seemingly) small fucking time frame dragons and crows be damned. It's not even just that, Jon got to Dragonstone seemingly fast as fuck. Its like everyone just has fast travel now. There's no journey or anything. What the fuck is going on here?

Welcome to apparently the past 30 pages or whatever. Season 6 introduced this and Season 7 basically said "fuck it completely". It's not like there aren't still a ton of side plots and characters to interweave into the timeline too.
So in books 4 and 5, they were originally going to be 1 book but it got out of hand, so he split it into 2 concurrent ones. It kind of feels like we're only getting half of what's going on right now except poorly even then.

So rumor has it they were going to put in more Sam working day montage to accompany Jon/whoever traveling around this season, but they figured that most people wouldn't actually like 3 filler episodes of boring travel that does absolutely nothing to advance the plot when people watching could just mentally realize it was a "sometime later" thing.

Well,
He's (un)dead. No juices flowing, no adrenaline rush, no endorphines flying around. The biggest emotional shock is probably going to have him raise an eyebrow vulcan-style

I have never read the books, and I don't know a ton on the lore aside from the show & some Wiki reading, but what's the prevailing thought here on the "Prince Who Was Promised/Azor Ahai" thing? Read about the "born of smoke & salt", Dany's vision of Rhaegar saying there are 3 heads of the dragon etc. Just curious.

But if they don't then it means everything happens in real time like an episode of 24

in the early seasons we had many scenes of traveling and we got an idea of distance. this season we got hound on his way to the north. he stopped at an inn he previously robbed and it ultimately caused the family to die. good scene. arya has 3 scenes of travel on her way from the riverlands to winterfell. some good scenes. jon snow,: hey guys i need to travel to dragonstone to meet the new queen. his next scene, hi new queen. sup? i need to travel to east watch. next scene hi eastwatch. sup? not the same. you can mock it all you want, but mostly everyone is noticing it. its a real problem.
