game of thrones season 8 episode 1 air time

Cersei hasn’t got much to do, untill the outcome of the battle for Winterfell becomes clear. Had she had some internal conflict in KL, it could culminated and be resolved in Ep 803, but I don’t see any potential for that. Now we have only one: the living against the dead with Cersei as a useful idiot basicly taking the Night King’s side. Ep 609 was different: it wrapped two independent conflicts.

I enjoyed both sequences wholeheartedly, although before I was just getting sick at the thought that the actual battle of the bastards would be ntermixed with something else. Yes, the Battle of Meereen was great and so was Dany’s meeting with Yara. In other words, we will have three consecutive episodes to end this story that are as long as the longest Game of Thrones episode ever aired, The Dragon and the Wolf, the season seven finale. Though the early season will be shorter than expected, the entire second half will be just as long as originally reported, as you can see: the final three episodes are at 1 hour 18 minutes, 1 hour 20 minutes, and another 1 hour 20 minutes respectively. Though the schedule largely corroborates this, there are two exceptions, as the first episode, at 54 minutes, falls a bit short of being “an hour long”, and episode three is 60 minutes long, not 80:įor a complete rundown of Game of Thrones running times, see the chart below: HBO recently updated their schedule to include the length for the episodes, and it is about what we expected, though it begins a bit on the shorter side:īack in January, we got a rough idea of the running time for each episode from the French TV network that airs the show: the first two episodes would be about an hour long, while the final four would be around 80 minutes.

We’re not yet at the exciting phase of speculating about what the episode titles could possibly mean, but HBO has just released the running times for the entire season! The season eight premiere is but a month away and that means we’ll be getting more and more details about the final six Game of Thrones episodes.
