I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the rest of my life.
Talk about an adrenaline crash.
11 years and 22 films building up to the most Epic finale in cinema history and Game of Thrones, surely the most Epic TV show in history.
They've both been around for so long they're practically a part of life. It's going to be like losing a friend.

Never watched either of them. I'm actually working on a short film that will be starring one of the actors from Game of Thrones. Well, according to IMDb he acted in 12 episodes during 2016 - as a character called, Kevan Lannister. So you'd probably have to be a real fan to remember.

There are still some MCU movies planned.
And with the success of GOT you just know they are not going to let it die - there will be spin off after spin off |

There are GoT spin-offs in the pipeline and the lots of Marvel universe films and TV series to come.
Plus, there are loads of amazing fantasy (and sci-fi) book series out there which would make amazing TV shows. With GoT being such a success I'm hoping this opens the doors for these to be adapted. Although, a great set of books doesn't guarantee great shows - take the Shannara TV series, for example, that was dire!
If you want something new but epic to watch, I recommend The Expanse. It was on Netflix, now I think the next season is on Amazon. It's based on a series of books and is complex like GoT, awesome storylines & characters, plus the production quality is incredible. |

YES!! I started a thread about a year or so ago about the Expanse but, being the ultimate thread killer, not a single comment. I found the three season story arc top notch. |

The Game of Thrones spin off takes place 5000+ years before the events of Game of Thrones during the so called "Long Night" It focuses on the first encounters with the White Walkers and the events that lead to The Wall being built. It stars Naomi Watts.
The Expanse is fantastic. And like GOT it makes you care for characters on all sides. |

I watched a little bit of GoT earlier and it looks OK. I had to turn it off though because my kids were around - I got to the part where a naked girl was giving a dwarf a blow job.
I may revisit it if I get time. I prefer shorter things because I like to spend most of my time writing. 8 seasons is a killer. |

Read 4 of the GOT books and loved them but bailed out halfway through the fifth one as it got boring never watched the show as I don’t watch tv or Netflix or movies lol gaming is much better!
The book Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons needs to be done as a mini series I loaned it to a workmate and he agrees.
SK’s IT needs to be done as a series too not the rubbish two movies |

I've been watching GOT since episode 1 aired in 2011. I was waiting like 2 years for this show, ever since I heard it was in development. Interesting enough, I'm not a big fan. I still watch it though, mainly to finish it. I do find Jon Snow very irritating. The casting for that character is especially horrific to me. I just can't take that guy seriously. Who thought it was a good idea to cast a short guy, who looks like a confused boy with a fat face and no masculine features as the hero?
On topic, these things are just entertainment, life will go on. Other things will come.
I find it interesting how TV Shows have become such a large part of people's life post-2010. Most of the people ages 20-35 I know, binge watch TV shows all the time and they're a significant part of their lives. I know couples whose main activity is watching TV shows together. I do feel like TV shows have lost a bit of steam in the past year or two and are slightly dwindling in popularity. There seemed to be an explosion of content a few years back. I dunno if the same intensity has maintained.

Same here. I gave it another try again today while on the f'n treadmill. I was struggling to get through the first episode. It was one of the longest sessions ever. It seemed it would never end. I will finish it though and try to get to the next episode since 90% of the people on the planet seem to love it. |
