The shortened run of Game of Thrones Season 7 still managed several standout hours, but nonetheless lacked some visual flair from seasons past.

Elsewhere, cast have already started gearing up for production, so how long until HBO confirms our final Game of Thrones directors, or perhaps a premiere window?
That may change for the eighth and final run, as fan-favorite “Hardhome” and “Battle of the Bastards” director Miguel Sapochnik may make a long-awaited return.
