There has been some leaks, and a lot of it has to do with those who were taking pics during the filming releasing these so people could basically string it all together.

But there are some who are releasing YouTube vids claiming they have the full scripts of season 8, but the shit sounds so fanboyish and wishful thinking, you just have to wonder if all this crap is just aholes looking for bs ways to generate click bait to get paid by YouTube, and they'll delete this shit once it all gets shown how wrong it all is. Everyone is whipped up right now knowing they basically have one full season left of content before it comes to an end. The rumors are flying all over the place.

But it's hilarious hearing that all these feminists online are complaining that Dany is becoming so weak by Jon's presence and that his claim to ruler of Westeros is now probably stronger than Danys. That it's a betrayal of her character. LOL. Then again, when are they not complaining about something.

If streams or torrents go out, I don't care. Don't want to watch. Want to wait till next Sunday and watch it in HD on the screen.

Because they committed to staying true to the books (that's why they got the show in the first place), and also because it's already the most expensive TV show in history.

They're going to spin it off apparently, but I'd imagine that sequels will be much less ambitious expense wise.
It doesn't matter how expensive it is, as long as it is profitable. The reduced the number of episodes to stay within the budget, but I don't understand the need to wrap things up in just one more season. Maybe D&D are just tired and want to move on to other projects/take a break once their contract is up.

Because they'd have to make up stuff to put in the extra season(s). They've already cut out whole storylines, they can't add them back in now.

They're running out of any source material. What they're their showing now is basically Martin already blueprinting the end of the two books he still wanted to release, but they're will probably be some big changes as well.

I suspect the most likely project they've talked about will be a prequel about young Ned, Robert, and the period of the mad king, etc.... all the source material is already all there. Possibly with new production and directors involved.

Probably a year or two after the last season. HBO knows once GOT is over, a huge portion of their subs and most of their profits will be gone. Most of their other shows are mediocre stuff. West World is pretty cool, but that's about it.

Can anyone explain to me what the fucking rush is?

I can't imagine HBO is saying "alright guys, you know this wildly popular show we're doing? We gotta wrap this shit up pronto."

Yup. I keep hearing 2 conflicting stories. One is that there are only 13 episodes between this season and next season because there isn't much story left to tell. I also hear that the story gets condensed for these last 2 seasons because we only had 13 episodes left. Which is it?

They don't need to add any new storylines... Just don't rush the ones they are working with. Heck,, even some filler would have been nice, like developing the relationship between Jorah and Jon on their way to Eastwatch. Maybe that's not enough for a full extra-season, but thinks would be flowing in a better way and it would give us a better sense of how much time is passing.

As just one example, they could've shown us how the hell they managed to sail and land that massive Dothraki army undetected, or they could have built the tension with Jaime knowing that a huge battle is coming, but being unable to do anything about it.

Okay, sure but that's not going to add another whole season or two.
