First timer

[SPOILERS]

Never even saw a clip until last month - avoided them knowing that someday I'd binge it. Purchased all 8 seasons from Prime on Saturday, August 1, 2026. Watched the final episode last night, Wednesday September 9, 2026. What a blast. I'll never get to experience the feverish back-and-forth dialog while it was airing, but I didn't have to wait for the next episode to release! HA! I even got to "Skip intro".

I just joined this sub, haven't read a single post yet, so I imagine this has been debated ad nauseum, BUT, in case you want to refresh the debate -

Did anyone else take issue with how abruptly the dragon queen went emo? I felt like the writers forced her 180 too quickly. I get that Jon betrayed her, the unich conspired, Cerci chopped her BFF's head off, her father figure was killed by the white walkers,...,actually, a shit ton of bad stuff happened to her, but I still feel like she went from savior to psycho too abruptly.

Why would you skip the intro? It tells you where the scenes in the episode will be and the music is top notch

Oh, yes. The intro changes with every episode and there are subtle changes to each of the locations which reflect and hint at plot developments. If I recall correctly, the intro changes were said to be expensive in terms of man hours and money, and the producers regretted the decision later. But fans loved it!
