Did you enjoy this week's episode of Game of Thrones? Did you like having all of your favourite characters in one place, having pints and singing songs and shifting? We hope so, because Game Of Thrones is about to get horrible again. It's hard to know if any of the show's likeable characters (Tormund, Breanna, Davos etc) will survive the impending Battle of Winterfell. The ominous soundings around Episode 2 would suggest that the people picking up weapons and hiding in the crypts of Winterfell are in for a brutally harsh battle against the armies of the dead.
But what exactly is in store for viewers over the next four episodes? Luckily, lots and lots of Thrones. The end game of GoT adds up to a solid 320 minutes, with next week's episode clocking in at an intense 1 hour and 23 minutes long.
The remaining runtimes for #GameofThrones S8:
E3: 1 hr 22 min
E4: 1 hr 18 min
E5: 1 hr 20 min

The director of the episode Miguel Sopochnik (the very same man who directed the iconic Hardhome and Battle of the Bastards episodes) also says that Season Eight, Episode Three - which will be one continuous battle spread over one hour and twenty-two minutes - will become the longest ever battle scene in the history of television or cinema (beating out the Helm's Deep scene in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers). The episode was shot in just under three months, with the entire cast and crew working at night, and utilises 750 actors, according to Collider.
The pace thereafter will continue at an epic scale with the remaining three episodes each clocking in around 80 minutes each.
The bad news: there are only four episodes left in Game of Thrones
The really bad news: loads of the best characters in Game of Thrones are about to meet their fate
The good news: the four episodes remaining in Game of Thrones are seriously long and will not leave viewers short of action or intensity.
