With just over a month to go until the last(!) season of Game of Thrones, it's time for a new thread!
Who's planning on watching?

For sure, but how are they going to defeat the dead? Lots of dragonglass I guess? And I cant believe Cersei is still going!!!

You say that like you think they ARE going to defeat the dead...

Literally cancel everything else in April please.
I know it’s technically my work annual appraisal month etc etc, but if there is not one Khaleesi related KPI, I’m getting HR involved.

I'm seriously considering taking six Mondays off in a row just so that I can watch the 2am episodes like the crazed fangirl I am...

Will be watching to see who survives? That’s me basically the last nine series!

I’m supposed to be at a party tomorrow and so know I’m going to cancel as I’m going to start binge watching from the start for about the umpteenth time from about midday.

I do want to rewards the last ep. Just to catch up with where we are? I remember the ice dragon melting the wall and letting the dead through, Jaime defying Cersei and going off to help the fight, what else have I forgotten?

Really can't wait for this to start. Once this season is over it's just a matter of waiting for the next book and some news on the prequel series they're working on!

I remember the ice dragon melting the wall and letting the dead through, Jaime defying Cersei and going off to help the fight, what else have I forgotten? Sexytime with Jon and Dany (with Tyrion looking shifty outside the cabin door). Theon getting the other Iron Islanders back onside to make a bid to rescue Yara. Sam and Bran coming to the conclusion that Jon is the legitimate heir because of the secret wedding. Sansa, Arya and Bran sorting Little Finger out.

We are about to start rewatching the whole thing from the start in time for season 8! Looking forward to seeing the whole story again immediately followed by the conclusion... although that inevitably comes with reminders of how great the show used to be at things it's lost its edge for now. Not to mention how many people have died!

So it turns out I am going to stay up tonight like a crazed fangirl and watch it... That said, being mindful that most people will probably wait for the 9pm showing on Monday, if I do discuss the episode before tomorrow night I will do so in spoiler tags so hopefully we can keep this thread "safe" for UK-pace people

I have a feeling I'll be watching with you - albeit I may be a tad tipsy. How convenient that it'll be airing at around about the same time I'll be getting back from the pub?

How convenient, indeed! We will be having drinks with it - thought not playing a drinking game although I have seen some good ones Sadly I am of an age now where too much alcohol will make me sleepy so I need to get the balance right

I'm planning on getting up around 7am, and hoping it's been added to the boxset by then for me to watch before work, dont want to chance hearing anything or seeing anything anywhere that spoils my enjoyment! And I'm glad you've made this UK Pace 9pm spoiler free. Are the 6 eps around 1.5 hrs long anyone know?

I've read that episode 1 and 2 are about the same as a regular episode of Thrones. Episode 3 is much longer.

Not all of them - here's the confirmed runtimes (no titles yet!)
• Episode one – 54 mins • Episode two – 58 mins • Episode three – 60 minutes • Episode four – 78 minutes • Episode five – 80 minutes • Episode six – 80 minutes
So only the last 3 episodes are super-long.

I'd that too originally - I believe there was an earlier leak of the purported runtimes, but I think the times I posted are confirmed. Slightly spoilery regarding Episode 3: I'd heard this was supposed to be the Battle of Winterfell, which is going to have the longest cinematic battle sequence ever! If they are fitting that into a 60-minute episode, we must be getting literally all of the build-up in Episode 2. Either that, or the battle itself will be Episode 4?
