Detailed season 7 spoilers have been online for sometime now. No reason to believe they are fake since everything has turned out to be right so far.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

The last few books still haven't been written. lol

Game of Thrones is fan-fiction that deviates from the original books.

The books aren't done and the show's doing its own thing.

Ohh, so the show is basically in Dragonball Z-style filler mode then?

 

[Battlezone]

They had no choice. They live in Canada.

under appreciated post

 

[Plum]

Ohh, so the show is basically in Dragonball Z-style filler mode then?

Far from it. The last two books were essentially filler and now the show's completely moved away from them its really starting to get moving. There's about 10 episodes left in total until the series finishes for good (until the inevitable prequel series, that is).

 

[Switch Back 9]

Ohh, so the show is basically in Dragonball Z-style filler mode then?

Not even. The show is as close as we'll ever get to a conclusion, because the author is notoriously slow and unhealthy and will likely die before he finishes.

The most recent book came out in 2011.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Ohh, so the show is basically in Dragonball Z-style filler mode then?

The last two books had more filler than the show does, so the opposite it happening.

 

[avaya]

I wonder if AT&T can knock down the price they will for for Time Warner off the back of this, lawyers must be scrambling. Good couple billion could be wiped off.

 

[bryehn]

Who has time to look through all that data?

When it comes to broadcast quality video, 1.5TB isn't THAT much, especially if you have duplicates for other regions and such.

 

[mercenar1e]

Game of Thrones is fan-fiction that deviates from the original books.

you cant deviate from the books at this point so i guess its canon.

 

[YuriLowell]

Somewhere there is a sysadmin saying I TOLD YOU SO.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Ohh, so the show is basically in Dragonball Z-style filler mode then?

Imagine if you just kept the core plot points from DBZ, but the filler writers filled the blanks. So Cell still became Perfect, but now you have a romance between Tien and Bulma to suffer though.

 

[NandoGip]

Um.

Spoiler

I'm ashamed to say this, but I'm hoping GoT leaks.

 

[Dalek]

They had no choice. They live in Canada.

Bravo.

 

[DietRob]

Looks like it's time to stay only on gaf for a while. All my fav shows are on HBO.

You fuckers better not spoil me lol

 

[Griss]

Somewhere there is a sysadmin saying I TOLD YOU SO.

Let's hope he put it in writing for his sake...

 

[Ravelle]

They should encrypt their data.

Or make a honeypot with fake episodes.

 

[Sai-kun]

this is why the south should have won

they never could have pulled something off like this

#watchconfederates

 

[HStallion]

More like its like the original Full Metal Alchemist anime from 2003 that came out before the FMA manga had been finished and just went in its own direction after a certain point.

 

[molnizzle]

If you want spoilers that bad, an outline for the entire season of Game of Thrones was leaked months ago. I'm pretty sure you can find it if you look hard enough.

oh shit, just found it. I had no idea.

First 3 episodes match up perfectly too so it's legit.

DAMN.

 

[Kickz]

Alright, the full season release better be 1080p this time or no deal hackers.

 

[Jackpot]

Scripts are nothing as a blow-by-blow account of Season 7 has been available since before it aired.

I think if they had entire episodes they would have lead with them rather than a bunch of behind-the-scenes documents.

 

[Socivol]

They don't have GoT if they did that would've been the first thing leaked.

 

[NandoGip]

They don't have GoT if they did that would've been the first thing leaked.

IDK. Hackers can be very dramatic sometimes. Or possibly using this as blackmail to negotiate a ransom

 

[teh_pwn]

Who has time to look through all that data?

For video files that's not that much data. Probably hundreds to a couple thousand videos. Once you figure out how it's organized and encoded it's easy to view and distribute.

 

[CopperPuppy]

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Who has time to look through all that data?

Give it to Euron and his fleet. They'll look through all of it in 5 minutes.

 

[Nerd_Incognito]

I've made it a point to avoid the previously leaked scripts / plot points, but if the hack leaks full episodes I'll cave and watch them.

 

[Magwik]

Ohh, so the show is basically in Dragonball Z-style filler mode then?

More like original Fullmetal Alchemist.

 

[firehawk12]

Why would you have episodes of shows on your servers before air date?
This happened with an anime site and it basically destroyed their streaming service.

 

[Woorloog]

Does this affect HBO Nordic? And does this potentially compromise user data there?

 

[Ishan]

i mean got whole season spoilers have been out for a while so this only makes an impact there if video of future episodes leak.

 

[Socivol]

I wouldn't be surprised if all of the episodes were on a server. HBO's model is for that complete season to be done before they air any of the episodes. They could easily go the Netflix model is they wanted to.

 

[gun_haver]

Ohh, so the show is basically in Dragonball Z-style filler mode then?

Nope, it's ramping up to the end of it's story. There are no longer books to follow closely so the author of the books has given the show creators notes on where he plans to go with it, but some extent of it is being made up on their own, and dialogue isn't based on books anymore. The tone of the show is different but the 'fanfiction' comment is from book purists, really. It's the same as it ever was, maybe a little worse in terms of writing.

 

[la_briola]

Slowly but surely enabling the end of the open internet. Congrats.

Secure your shit better.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Time to upgrade to LinuxONE, HBO.

 

[Bulzeeb]

Ohh, so the show is basically in Dragonball Z-style filler mode then?

I think is more like the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime when the anime surpased the material of the manga and went full fan fiction after that,giving us that terrible ending and that horrible movie.

 

[Waylon Drums]

They're still working with what the author told them would happen. It's different but not that different.

 

[mercenar1e]

im hoping this isn't true but i have read that the direction of GOT season 8 was in the data and if true... the wait isn't worth it at all.

for what its worth the season 7 script leak from a few months back has been 100% correct. i wonder if the two comes from the same source..

 

[duckroll]

Do we know what server was compromised? Because it does make sense for HBO to have episodes available to their international divisions internally.

 

[btrboyev]

1.5 terabytes is not a lot of video

 

[WonkyPanda]

3 extra seasons of Hung were reportedly found.

Don’t play with my emotions like that.

 

[old]

They would have to be complete dumbasses if they're keeping future episodes of GOT on a server that faces the internet. That would be gloriously incompetent on HBO's part.

 

[Ocarina_117]

They're still working with what the author told them would happen. It's different but not that different.

Euron doing what he's done so far has me feeling it'll be substantially different.

 

[Chumley]

I don't think episodes leaked, just script stuff.

 

[xaosslug]

You must've been a Ned Stark fan fan. It's ok.

probably Robb Stark, tbh

 

[Monocle]

Good, I'm fucking sick to death of hearing about GoT and GoT spoilers. Ruin the show for everyone so I don't have to read about it anymore.

What a garbo attitude lol. Just stay off the internet instead.

 

[davepoobond]

Not if we're talking about video files.

Like 3 episodes if that

 

[RazorbackDB]

Unless it's the compressed video you would get on streaming services, yeah 1.5 TB isn't a lot.

 

[_Ryo_]

I hope we manage to keep spoilers off gaf :/

Anyone who posts info of leaks and or spoilers that were obtained illegally will be banned and the post edited/removed.

 

[Blastoise]

gonna be refreshing r/freefolk for a while
