Game of Thrones (Season 6) | KnockBack: The Retro and Nostalgia Podcast Episode 225

For many, the sixth season of Game of Thrones is when the show begins to decline. A lot of that unfortunately has to do with the subject matter itself: We are now beyond the boundaries of George RR Martin's books (at least as he's written and released them so far). With that structure gone, and with lots of holes to fill in, places to see and go, people to meet, and events to occur, the brisk pace of Game of Thrones' sixth season is perhaps its most glaring weakness. That's because within its 10 episodes is enough content for 20 or more, a compliment to yet another high-quality HBO offering that we simply want more of. It's still wonderful television, but it's sad to think about what could have been if it was given a more proper treatment, especially as we draw closer to what is widely considered a woefully weak finale. In the meantime, though, let us analyze and contemplate, as we're wont to do.

Hello brothers! Another great episode!! I just wanted to drop some knowledge. You keep wondering why the end was so rushed or why there was only 7.5 seasons. Originally HBO and RRMartin had signed an agreement for 10 seasons with a possible 11th. Unfortunately the writers (Benioff and Weiss) more or less demanded an early exit at the close of season 6. Reasons are mostly speculative, as their public excuses are pathetic. The most weighted are; the show was just getting to difficult for them. Ever since they got over the original material they were either incapable or unwilling to write 4-5 seasons alone. Also, the amount of work going into each episode was UNBELIEVABLE. The poor crew were barely holding onto their sanity. One last possibility is they wanted off this project to move onto their next feature which was whatever god awful Starwars film they were “supposed” to work on next. Hilariously D+D were taken off that project after GOT wrapped anyway! Rumor has it that HBO was considering re-shooting with different writers. This has never been confirmed but Martin’s reaction to the last 13 episodes is on record. He hates it! There’s an entire documentary on the making of GOT on HBO, check it out!

Battle of The Bastards is one of my favorite episodes and one of the most well shot scenes I've seen on TV. The shot of Jon Snow facing the army of horses alone is one of the best in the entire show. One of the few times where the hero actually triumphs and we get a satisfying conclusion to an arc. Unfortunately this and episode 10 are the last great episodes in my opinion before seasons 7 and 8 rush to a disappointing end

I love the AITA segments with Dagan every once in a while. And we all know saggy Melisandre is his favorite version of the Red Woman.

As a lover on 90's syndicated Sci-Fi, particularly Babylon 5 I enjoyed your joke, snide comments like that bring me back for more ^_^
