    So, he'd be 72 and 84 on those two blue points. That's actually better than I expected.

    When I saw the news about the book being delayed CNN had a picture of Martin and I honestly assumed the worst.

    He wrote the books in the first place because he's a TV writer that thought his idea was too grand to film. Decades later... it's filmed. Honestly, I think Feast was difficult, but then HBO killed his remaining drive by giving him exactly what he always wanted. Dude is in a refractory period.

    Eh. The show isn't even remotely close to the books in terms of complexity. So I seriously doubt he thinks that somehow the show has "proven him wrong" in any meaningful sense.

    Prequel series set during the end of the Age of Heroes greenlit.

    That definitely sounds like one of the more interesting time periods for a prequel to take place. I'm p excited.

    Got the most Emmy nominations of anybody with 22. All three Lannisters got acting nominations (supporting). Handmaid's Tale took three of the other supporting actress nominations, unsurprisingly, so no Maisie or Clarke or whoever else you might think.

    They already have the only one they need, the Mother of Dragons.

    Naomi Watts is your star of the prequel series. Playing who knows what, and if we follow precedent, dying at the end of episode nine.

    So, I guess politics and game of thrones are about to intersect. Trump posted an image in GoT font saying sanctions are coming, November 5th. Ayra, HBO, and George RR Martin weighted in. So expect this to become a thing and I wouldn't be surprised if people talk about boycotting it.

    While Emilia does have some rude ass titties, I never imagined them having ark of the covenant like powers. Melisandre's rack, maybe, but not Dany.

    By all means, lets ramp up the hype! But none of that footage is new, I don't think.

    No that’s all old footage. I just included the trailer so everyone could see the April date was the official one mentioned by HBO. Trailers with new footage will drop sometime after Christmas I should think.

    New Teaser Trailer! Don't get too excited. It's an abstract one, not one showing any new footage. Still... new teaser trailer!

    So, how well does HBO's streaming app work, for anyone that's used it?
    Cause I'm thinking I'm not reupping the subscription to the channel, but I do want to know how my dragon soap opera ends.

    I assume it's the same ap that a cable subscriber uses to watch thru a tablet or whatever? If that's the case, my limited use has been pretty issue-free. Episode would be available to stream pretty much immediately as it started airing.

    It worked fine I did it to watch west world and worked fine quality wise. Stuff is available instantly as soon as it would show up on their main channel.

    The only time we ever have trouble is the very first episode of the season - sometimes the app/website suffers a bit right when the show comes on

    New trailer type thing:

    Speculation spoiler
    It looks like Jon's statue is the only one that gets to grow old. Sansa's and Arya's look to be about the same age as they are in this trailer. Jon is going to end up being the only survivor of our main characters isn't he?

    I put as much stock in GoT teasers as I do Marvel trailers.

    That is people tend to pick them over for details and base theories off of perceived symbols when they're usually a lot more straight-laced or even intentionally misleading.

    Plus it just looks that way because its easier to date a man by giving him a grizzly facial hair. I don't think they're gonna give Sanaa and arya a beard to show they got older. They just look refined.
