Is the time length of each episode known?

I hope ep1 is not just meeting up in Winterfell.

Some Spanish guy who has an acrimonious relationship with HBO leaked a summary of the first episode. Beware, it is floating around online, in bad Google-Translate English of course.

Still, the entire outline is now known by those who seek it out in the deep dark corners of the web, where all mortal delights of the flesh can be found.

The average run time for episodes will be about 80 minutes long, so basically a feature length film for each one.

While fan sites have been speculating about episode lengths for the last couple of weeks, HBO finally confirmed them on Friday.

episode 1 (April 14): 54 minutes
episode 2 (April 21): 58 minutes
episode 3 (April 28): 1 hour, 22 minutes
episode 4 (May 5): 1 hour, 18 minutes
episode 5 (May 12): 1 hour, 20 minutes
episode 6 (May 19): 1 hour, 20 minutes

First two episodes will be normal length. Third episode which is the battle of Winterfell, is the longest.

I hope ep1 is not just meeting up in Winterfell.

Its supposed to mirror first episode of first season with royalty arriving at Winterfell. I expect lots of fan service.

In the end, Jaime will be the last man standing, robbed of his deathwish to die gloriously, and remembered by history as more Machiavellian than his father, more deceptive than his sister, more treacherous than his brother, as having planned this ending from the very beginning.

Interesting. But can you be sure I mean if I was in charge I would be leaking stuff left and right by paid 'disgruntled' 'former' employees. You jam the radar with the output. Who will know which leak is real. Works for Trump the media follows your twitter stream and fails to do much in depth reporting because the next twitter text is just waiting for the news cycle. I mean if HBO can front John Oliver's legal bills surely than afford to pay for any amount of fake leaks.

Nah if he planned from the beginning he would never have lost his hand and still be the best. Show wise (books who knows assuming they get finished) I fear its going to be the obvious annoying Danny and mopey John. But I will hold out for Sansa and Arya (and Bran?). But I would take a Cersi as second option and bad to the bone wins ruking over tattered remians. Bran and the three eyed raven stuff is the wild card what exactly does he want anymore. Obviously nobody can plot crap he won't know but does he care to inform anyone? They made him rather distant in the last season and kind of of a jerk. Sure he showed up to help his sisters but very detached when one assumes he could have provided the intel right up front.

I didn't want to say his name, but his name is Frikidoctor and yes, he is legit, because he's the provocateur who leaked entire episodes of the 6th and 7th seasons before they aired.

And his video explaining episode 1 of season 8 was immediately pulled down from Youtube by mysterious, shadowy sources who got really pissed off at what he just did. They don't bother doing that over there for any old hack. There are tons of stupid videos of charlatans claiming to be sharing leaks, but none of them are taken down.

That's the second time I've been unable to rep you. Shame.

Theon grafts on an octopus.

As for Jaime of the Golden Hand, it's magic that gave him the strength of ten men, and like Odin, he willingly had his appendage cut off to acquire invincibility in battle, and become irresistible to all women.
