This is so exciting - As I look at the clock above right now, in only 6 minutes we'll drop down to only 14 days till Season 7!!! Also, after the airing of S1x01 last week, HBO has started in earnest with former GOT shows. Not every one, but key ones. Watching those helps the time go by quickly, too. I know! I can't believe we're finally reaching the last two weeks before the show begins. It felt like soooo long ago that we had just wrapped up Season 6 and were flying high on the wave of amazement over how epic the last two episodes were. Then that was quickly replaced with the realization that it was going to take more than a year before we'd get to see Season 7 ... but here we are! I'm so glad we all stuck it out together here in our new place so we can fully enjoy the whole season together.

I just saw an article called "# GoT story lines you forgot about that you need to remember this season" and it was all simple shit like "that was the dagger that almost killed Bran" "Sansa and Tyrion were married" "this is the BwB"
I'm triggered.

Got a link from the NY Times "Watching" Newsletter to a vulture.com article which lists 93 main characters from GOT in order of the most evil, with the least evil listed first at #93 and moving on down to the most evil at #1. I found lots that I would rearrange (!), but it's interesting to read, anyway. I have a feeling the writer has not read the books. www.vulture.com/article/game-of-thrones-every-character-ranked-from-good-to-evil.html

Yeah, I find the general audience type media hype is rather bland and simplified. At least the writers seem to be targeting a much less plot-savvy crowd with their information. While it's true there are many fans who even after 6 seasons still don't know all of the character names (calling Daenerys "Khaleesi" still triggers me), I think more and more fans have started educating themselves with the books, the wiki and supplementary information. I noticed a big difference in the "reaction" video crowd this past season. They seemed to understand the plot much better and what was supposed to be happening or what was expected. In fact a lot of fans seemed to already know what Tower of Joy was all about even if they weren't book readers so clearly a lot of non-book readers were doing their research on the internet before Season 6 started and are much smarter than a lot of media outlets are giving them credit for. Got a link from the NY Times "Watching" Newsletter to a vulture.com article which lists 93 main characters from GOT in order of the most evil, with the least evil listed first at #93 and moving on down to the most evil at #1.

I have a feeling the writer has not read the books. www.vulture.com/article/game-of-thrones-every-character-ranked-from-good-to-evil.htmlAh I briefly scrolled through that and gave up as like you, I'd have rearranged the middle bits quite a lot too. Another example of a writer targeting younger, less book savvy audiences and not knowing their information very well or making personal guesses/opinions on it. This is that magical time where every news outlet is trying to ride the coattails of hype building for the premiere and come up with something 'clever' to pitch at audiences to get them to read. I think after being WotW fans for years, we're probably jaded, but meh. I don't need 99% of the articles out there ... except I'm trying to pass the time and obsessing over it so I keep doing searches for news too haha.

That's so awkward that they had the original Myrcella for that panel. It just makes them look kind of bad for recasting her for someone "prettier"

And sometimes I wonder if the writers of articles like this have even watched the series themselves, I mean really watched. Course, I guess what we consider really watching is quite another thing from how most would view it. I'm watching episodes in the HBO Marathon now, and I can't believe how many things there are that I still notice as if for the first time. That's so awkward that they had the original Myrcella for that panel. It just makes them look kind of bad for recasting her for someone "prettier" Yes! But I actually thought the original one was SO much prettier than the second one they cast. SMH

The character became bland during the Dorne storyline, I loved the first one.

I don't think I'm going to be able to stay in my seat 2 weeks from now when the music starts for 7x01. I'm like a kid - I start clapping and cheering at the very beginning.

Obviously I'm getting up at 4 am to watch it and my kid probably hasn't even gone to bed by that time so we'll watch it together and it'll be perfect

The opening sequence is SO exhilarating, no matter how many times I see it. I'm always like ... through the whole thing!
