Just finished this up. I enjoyed it. I certainly won't object to seeing more when season two is released, whenever that might be.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Episode 3 of the new season is a hoot.

Just watched Episode 6. That was really, really good. Prior to this one, episode 5 was my favorite, but this one surpassed that.

Yup, episode 6 is fantastic. I would gladly watch a full, live action movie set in that world.

Semi-off topic, but I would *kill* for a What If type show centered on Game of Thrones. Like:
Spoiler:
- What if Khal Drogo crossed the Narrow Sea and invaded Westeros?
- What if Ned Stark wasn't stupid?
- What if Robb Stark kept his marriage pact with the Freys?
etc.

I bet that they could get George RR Martin to help, given his interest in writing anything GoT related that's not Winds of Winter.

What if the people in Game of Thrones travelled at speeds that didn’t defy logic?

What if Littlefinger really did have a really small finger?

What if the writers for the final season didn’t get drunk on cheap bourbon and write that ridiculous 11th hour change in Daenerys Targaryen‘s character?

What if the actor playing Bran hadn’t trained under Mark Wahlberg?

Late to the party as always, I started watching some episodes of What If...? this week. I was not expecting so many of them to be quite so dark. I guess a big part of the draw in exploring alternate time lines is that they get to explore what happens when things go very, very wrong since they can reboot the universe with each and every episode.

Yeah, I posted that just after watching the "What if... Strange lost his heart instead of his hands" episode.

I just finished the first season today (er, yesterday now, technically). I wasn't expecting them to tie it all together into a single story arc like that, but it was a pleasant surprise to see the Watcher sneak in a bit of a happy ending for arguably one of the bleakest storylines. I'm looking forward to carrying on with the second season.

You're in for a shock. Season 2's stories are all "What if this all went really really well"
