It's been a week, feels longer.

Is it just me, or was the special tonight a snoozefest? There were a couple of interesting moments, but most of it was dull....

Disagree completely! It was basically a love letter to the crew and I adored it. It reminded me of all the special features on the LOTR extended editions. I love watching all that behind the scenes stuff. Everyone works so hard, and it was great to see them acknowledged and celebrated. The only thing I didn't like was the foul mouthed location manager. I have a tendency to throw f-bombs around myself, but it was like every other word with her!

Also loved following that one extra around. He had such love for the show and just seemed so happy to be part of it.

I liked it as well.  I like things like this.  I also liked the behind the scenes they did every week.

I think it's good to show people what it's like to be in a production.  People dream that every moment is like a moment out of the finished show.  It's a job not that different from many other jobs.

I thought it was really wonderful that they gave some air time to the unsung heroes of the show.  Their love for what they did really showed.  Some of the reactions during the table reads were also very touching and cool.

But yeah, I have to confess that I actually did fall asleep about halfway through.

I agree, I thought it was boring. Even if they didn’t have the access to all the main actors, I would have liked to spend time with more of a variety of the behind the scenes people - how did the costumes vary for the main characters as the seasons went by and why? How did the weapons people pick the weapons for each group of people? Let’s follow a production assistant all day to see what he/she does! Let’s sit on in for part of a production meeting to see how all the departments interact! Let’s go to the sound people or the visual effects people or the composer working after the episodes are done to see what happens in post production! Instead we spent far too much time on the food truck lady and the snow guy (I liked them, I just thought we spent way too much time with each person and it got repetitive).

My favorite part of it was Del the Emmy award winning snow sprinkler.  I didn't realize that the production was so specialized that they had a guy who's job was to sprinkle snow.

I was amused by their use of Leonard Cohen's song, "You Want it Darker" -like they knew that they'd made it too hard to see what was going on during the Battle of Winterfell.   :D

I'm marathoning from the beginning again and it is definitely very interesting how the perspectives change now that we know know how all their stories end in the show.

Also, very few characters from the first season aren't even alive by the 8th.

Yeah I’ve been rewatching as well since I convinced my wife to watch it. It’s been a different process indeed. Especially with binge watching.
Fun isn’t something one considers when preparing for Comic-Con, but attending does put a smile on my face

Many an insight about GRRM's relationship with the Game of Thrones TV series, from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

“There were a couple of years where, if I could have finished the book, I could have stayed ahead of the show for another couple of years, and the stress was enormous,” he says. “I don’t think it was very good for me, because the very thing that should have speeded me up actually slowed me down. Every day I sat down to write and even if I had a good day – and a good day for me is three or four pages – I’d feel terrible because I’d be thinking: ‘My God, I have to finish the book. I’ve only written four pages when I should have written 40.’ But having the show finish is freeing, because I’m at my own pace now. I have good days and I have bad days and the stress is far less, although it’s still there… I’m sure that when I finish A Dream of Spring you’ll have to tether me to the Earth.”
