Previous thread Welcome back to everyone's favorite show they hate. Season 6 of Game of Thrones premiers on HBO on April 24, 9pm EDT. It should be on HBO Go (and HBO Now) near-instantaneously regardless of time zone. This thread is SPOILER-FREE. To the best of your abilities DON'T TALK ABOUT BOOKS OR LEAKS IN THIS THREAD (ha ha ha ha ha ha). There's little book material left but still, nobody loving cares that your favorite character from the books is a total chump in the show, or something happened differently than you imagined it in your head from repeatedly reading the same book for a decade. If you can't help yourself, then go to the: SPOILER THREAD Just like last year, the first few episodes of the season have apparently already leaked. Obviously they're all so don't bother asking for them here. But more importantly, remember the spoiler rule from the TV IV Standards and Practices: quote:SPOILER RULES: Are you talking about something that's already aired in an episode on the East Coast? Then you don't need spoiler tags. Are you talking about something that you only saw in a preview, or a commercial, or due to a leaked ANYTHING? Then you need spoiler tags. Casting information is not a spoiler. Unless it obviously IS a spoiler, like a recurring character that was presumed dead or something coming back. Honestly, just use common sense. If you're absolutely dying to know what happens in the books vs. the show, those questions can be sent by PM to They know their stuff. NOTE I DON'T THOUGH, PLEASE PM QUESTIONS TO THOSE PEOPLE NOT ME. =============================================== Previously on Game of Thrones: Dany went on a trip. Jon learned the true meaning of friendship. Sansa and Theon went skydiving. Bronn loves da bad poussey. Stannis had duty done to him. Cersei got a new haircut.

Looking forward to the Sansa plot. Her current male companion doesn't have a penis so things are looking up! :V

I am guessing this is not the final season. How many more are planned for the story to conclude?

Can't wait for them to drag the Jon is dead/alive for half the season like Glenn is Walking Dead. Then have a flashback that the watch actually stabbed a dumpster.

And if he does end up coming back they won't do it at the end of this season but at the beginning of next season to gently caress with people.

I mean, he was seen on set this season so unless that was some false-flag operation or they're going to make crazy edits in the editing room, he's probably going to show up in at least this season.

Will there be a modern band incorporated into this show this season? I've always liked the way they handle those.

Something new that's happening this season is that HBO is getting some of the ex-Grantland people they picked up to do a Talking Dead-like post-show discussion called "After the Thrones." It's online only though, on Go and Now, and will be available on Monday instead of directly after. I like the people doing the show but sometimes GoT is slow enough that I wonder if it really deserves a show like this.

A GoT talk show should just be called "The Kings Speech".

I think its probably an uncontroversial thing to say that I didn't like last season as much as previous seasons. Is there any indication from the showrunners that they are aware of some of the flaws of last year and that the show could be super good again? that would be rad.
