Here's the new livestream, discussing GOT Season 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8f_atsI6d0We'll continue holding public livestreams at ~10pm ET each week after GOT airs. Anyone can watch and chat live, and the links will be posted here so Patrons can watch later.

Here's a playlist with all of the S8 livestreams:  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn6yDpEottdi4ezny3XOUy59gDfSOgKWV  

The Tyrion recap video is recorded, it'll be online for Patrons ~tomorrow. This took longer to make than expected – there's so much depth and complexity in Tyrion's arc, and we worked hard to do it justice, while also keeping the video tight and focussed. Think you'll really enjoy it 🙂

There's time for one more video before Season 8 – an overall recap video, quickly covering each major character, their conflicts and themes, and where they're headed in Season 8.

And then... the end of Game of Thrones begins. Thank you for supporting Alt Shift X through this last giant crazy season!

"This took longer than expected" - it feels like we've heard you say that before ... :-D

Hm... This stream was around 4 am for me... Any chance you could change the timing to be a bit more forgiving to us Europeans? I seem to remember being able to catch livestreams for previous seasons. Edit: Maybe move it to the next day? Say 5 or 6 pm ET, so Americans can follow along after getting home from work / finishing homework etc and us Europeans can watch before going to bed? Edit 2: I just remembered that it airs Sunday evening in the US. Europe gets it on HBO Now on Mondays. So aiming for 10 pm CET would probably work well tbh. Edit 3: then again, I dunno how much of your patreon audience is actually from Europe. Switching the time slots might not be worth it in that regard.

Well, that was two hours of pure joy. Thankyou! So awesome seeing you let the bubbly and witty personality we know and love from Schwift loose on the greater audience like that. While still keeping the Shift sharpness and instant knowledge of every freaking detail on point. Impressive 👍

Thanks dear, best of luck over the mad days ahead till GOT ends. I'll be in work when each episode airs so will be avoiding your livestreams like the plague till later in the day 🙃

Rikke Holmberg

I will have to avoid them like the plague for like 18 hours - which is SO out of character for me ;)

Kellan

Loved watching the Livestream, and also very excited for the merchandise!

Tori Bogner

Did I miss a reveal that the Battle of Winterfell will be episode 3, or do we assume it is because Miguel S. is directing?

Alt Shift X

Entertainment Weekly interviews have talked about the Winterfell battle happening in Ep 3

Thanks, guess I need to revisit my copy!

The onscreen chat is too distracting. Please do not do it in the future.

Omri Goldshtrom

Will Jon (or Dany?) kill Samwell to hide the reveal?

If Bran and the Night King are on the same page, who says they're still not enemies. Is Bran the only Stark secretly fighting against a Stark? (Or is he?)

I'd wager the BoW will be almost all of S08E03 and E02 is going to be a giant lead-up-to battle and end with both sides facing each other immediately preceding the end credits.

^voting this down. If you want it without onscreen chat, watch it on HBO

smirk

Did you watch the live video after the show? The red chat constant scrolling on the screen?

Alt Shift X

The on-screen chat is there for strategic reasons. There's a risk that HBO will take down the livestreams if they think they're just showing the new GOT episode. I have the chat, and the alerts, and the disclaimers, to make it super clear that the stream is a discussion and review of GOT, not a pirate stream. If there's some kind of takedown or dispute, I'm hoping the chat will help argue the case for fair use.
