I'll be watching this later tonight. But I don't know if there will be many here chiming in to talk about a 2 hour behind the scenes documentary.

OldBoy

You would too if you saw the garbage that he must have saw on the pages!

OldBoy

Wow! Talk about bitter. I watched some minutes and everyone seemed pissed off with this last season. Cast and crew alike.

We finally saw the battle of Winterfell!

Actually that was pretty good. I like that they focused on the "little people" it takes to make a show like this. The extras, the food truck lady, etc... The Night King guy was funny. A little too thick on the melodrama though. I mean I get that you miss your daughter but geez, do we really need to see a video call for 2 min?

What a terrible waste of time that was. I don't care what sandwiches actors ordered, or what some really small part actor was feeling. I thought this would really be about the main cast and how they were preparing. The parts about Emelia were good but very sparse. The Knight King "actor" was terrible.
I think the Geller family video had more insight when Ross was trying to help Rachel get a date on prom night.

The Questyen

I thought it was fantastic and way exceeded any expectations I had for it.

Don't forget this is a documentary, not a making-of. You'll have plenty of the later on the disc special features. Plus I've already seen a zillion interviews with the main cast. In a documentary, I like another approach, show me stuff I woudn't usually see in the making-of type stuff.

The Questyen

Good interview with Emilia Clarke in latest Entertainment Weekly where she was saying Kit Harrington never reads the script before the table read so on camera there was the first time he found out that he killed her.

General Zod

This documentary seemed rushed to me. They should have spread it out over 4 or 5 episodes so that we really got to know these people. The makeup lady was so happy to be there and then suddenly turned. Ridiculous.I'm petitioning HBO to re-shoot this documentary but do it right this time.

Tweet that, I guarantee you'll trend!

By the time we got to the 2nd hour I'd already lost interest. I occasionally looked up if something caught my eye. The paper snow with the sign not to drive on it was interesting and how they only put the paper snow down that was going to be in the shot. But yeah I was looking more for the main cast and their reactions and not that the director needed 2 maids twice a week to keep his apt. clean. I mean who cares about crap like that.

I only halfway watched as I was falling asleep, but I thought it looked great and am anxious to watch it fully someday. Catching up with those behind the scenes people is much more interesting to me than the stars that have heavy exposure already.

They did talk a little to David Nutter, who is a director on the series, and apparently he's had some health issues recently. Someone referenced that he walks like a penguin. He doesn't look like he's in the best of shape and he said he's had some back issues and surgeries.

If you don't know who Nutter is, he's usually the guy Warner Brothers hires to direct a lot of their big Fall Pilots. He directed the Pilots for Arrow, The Flash, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Smallville, Without a Trace. That is until he got hired on Game of Thrones.

If you're looking for more technical aspects on the show and interviews with the stars and Weiss/Benioff, just watch the behind the scenes documentaries that I mentioned in the extras section on HBO Go/HBO Now.

This film was giving a broader approach to the series and showing us others who don't get that kind of exposure. Thousands of people work on this series including the extras and actors who you don't see their actual faces like The Night King. I mean if you really don't care about those people, then sorry you feel that way.

Shannon Nutt

It was too long. It wasn't a documentary as much as it was just video of behind-the-scenes stuff that was slapped together for a presentation. Documentaries have a theme and a driving tone and pacing to them. This was just a bunch of footage - I got bored with it.

Osiris3657

Nah, this documentary was perfect. I have a very small attention span and I prefer things as simple and straight forward as possible. Details and logic? Lame! I don't want to do any thinking, just give me action! Complex and elaborate stories are for nerds.

I watched it. I think there was an interesting documentary in there somewhere buried under some really poor editing.

DJariya

One thing I did notice about this film was the non-linear editing. I felt like they did jump around from various points in the making of the final season too much.

I'm slightly more interested in viewing this now after reading the comments in this thread. Would much rather learn about the guy who spread the show then listen to David Benioff and D. B. Weiss jerk off into the camera for 90 minutes explaining all the hard work they put into ruining the show.
