That's not how HBO rolls now. Werthead Send a noteboard - 18/04/2012 12:23:23 AM
They did back in the mid-2000s, but apparently the current management feels that the 18-month or longer gaps between seasons hurt their viewing and subscriber figures. Their current system is to have a big tentpole series on in each quarter of the year, every year, to keep people subscribed all year round. This year that's LUCK, GAME OF THRONES, TRUE BLOOD and BOARDWALK EMPIRE, with their other shows arranged around them.

So they're not going to get into having the long gaps between seasons again, especially not with the importance of the child actors on the show and a reluctance to recast them.

Yes. Cancellation aside, it is almost impossible for GRRM to finish the books first. Werthead - 13/04/2012 07:09:42 PM 883 Views

What's stopping them from taking a break of a season, or even two if they have to? *NM* Legolas - 16/04/2012 10:08:32 PM 359 Views
The fact that you can't keep actors and actresses from ageing (i.e., time) *NM* Tom - 17/04/2012 05:42:22 PM 358 Views
That would be a problem for sure, but it's not the reason why DomA - 18/04/2012 07:17:54 PM 951 Views

Is season 2 good? Season 1 was frightfully boring with very poor filming quality. callandor1000 - 23/04/2012 04:30:55 AM 928 Views
