You’ll have to forgive me as I’m not going to be able to go through all of this. And rest assured I’m going to do my best to cover everything you’ll find here, but I’m only a mere mortal. Now do you know why I say this isn’t your average 4K Disc review? I hope so. If that’s not enough, there’s also 15 hours of extras packed within this set.
Wow! That encompasses all 8 seasons of the hit HBO show that plays across 73 episodes, which equates to roughly 75 hours. It’s simply because this one whopping big box set that houses a total of 33 Discs (23 BD-100s, 7 BD-66s, 3 BD-50s). You want to know why? I hope you do as I didn’t just set that up for nothing. Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection, Game of Thrones: The Complete Series, and Game of Thrones Season 8 are all available for purchase now.Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection is going to be one very unorthodox 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Review. The resolution of the episodes is stunning, the box itself makes for a gorgeous display, and I can already see myself revisiting this Reunion Special a few more times-it’s that good. Honestly, as someone who really loves parts of Game of Thrones and really hates others, I can attest that The Complete Collection is an extremely worthwhile purchase (for yourself or as a gift). This is in addition to all the audio commentaries and featurettes for the previous seasons, which are also included.
Almost.Įlsewhere on the box sets you’ll find Game of Thrones: The Last Watch, the feature-length documentary about the making of the final season that aired on HBO a week after the finale, as well as audio commentaries for the final season, a new 30-minute making of doc on The Battle of Winterfell, deleted and extended scenes that have never before been seen, and new animated pieces that delve into the history and lore of Game of Thrones.
It’s really quite touching, and almost makes you forget about how the show ended. And then the death blow: a final clip reel is extremely emotional as beloved producer Bernadette Caulfield breaks down in tears discussing the sacrifices everyone’s family had to make so they could devote so much of their lives to making Game of Thrones, and when the lights come up the entire cast onstage is in tears, with some full-on bawling. Some were closer than others, but they’d all been through this taxing ordeal together, and since the Special was shot during their final season, everyone is a bit wistful about it coming to an end. It’s abundantly clear during this Reunion Special that this cast is and was, for better and worse, a family.
It was “the nicest she’s ever been to me,” recalled Harington during the special. The audience of the theater is made up entirely of the Game of Thrones crew to avoid spoilers, adding to the intimacy of the proceedings, and the cast is joined onstage by former colleagues like Sean Bean, Jason Momoa, and Mark Addy to reminisce about the early days of the show and how significantly it has changed.Īnd how significantly did they try to sell Jon Snow’s “death” at the end of Season 5? Harington actually gave a goodbye speech on his “last” day on set that spurred Turner to write him a letter telling him how much he meant to her and how much he’d be missed.

This two-hour show is exclusive only to these box sets-you can’t see them anywhere else-and it's phenomenal.ĭuring production of the show’s final season, Conan O’Brien flew over to Belfast to host this reunion special, which gathers the cast together to discuss iconic events from the series and how it was made. I personally wasn’t the biggest fan of how it all went down, but that doesn’t negate the truly great seasons of the show that came before, and the disappointment is offset in the Blu-ray box set by some truly great bonus features and a must-watch reunion special.īoth the Complete Collection and the more reasonably priced Complete Series Blu-ray sets include an exclusive bonus feature called Game of Thrones: Reunion Special. It’s no secret that the final season of Game of Thrones was creatively mixed at best, and that the finale was intensely divisive.
