Which BGOL member is this? Lemme holla at ya girl.
Oh it would matter. Jaime and Cersi are from a pretty evil family. The Starks are from a noble family. For the TV show, they wouldn't have Jon fuck Sansa or Arya. Now, Jon and Khalesi.... I wouldn't put that in the same category as Jon/Arya... but I still really doubt they'd go there for the same reason.
“When your tears have drowned you,” Maggy told Cersei – referring to her grief for her three children – “The valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you.”

No GAME OF THRONES Next April!!
While the first six seasons of “Game of Thrones” launched in April, the seventh season will launch later in 2017, the series’ showrunners revealed on the UFC Unfiltered podcast.
The season is being delayed because winter is no longer coming to Westeros. Winter is finally there, and producers want to shoot during our world’s much shorter winter.
“Sunny weather doesn’t really serve our purposes anymore. So we kind of pushed everything down the line, so we could get some grim, grey weather even in the sunnier places that we shoot.”
The writers were no more specific on the date of the season-seven launch, and HBO is not likely to announce it until next year.
The next season is not only coming later, it is expected to be the shortest season of “Thrones” to date, likely comprising only seven episodes instead of the usual 10. The eighth and final season, expected to air in 2018, is expected to be a short one as well.

Winter came without them: Actors who said no to ‘Game of Thrones’
BY LARRY CARROLL AT 01:07 PM ON JUL 7, 2016
Think about how many times every day that you hear mention of “Game of Thrones,” see a billboard or ad for the hit HBO series, or come across people talking about it. Now, imagine if those three words reminded you of your ultimate missed opportunity.
For the actors below, “Game of Thrones” will likely always represent one of their bigger regrets. After turning down the show for scheduling difficulties, competing projects or simply more money, they’ve gone on to watch it make huge stars out of folks like Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke and Natalie Dormer. Check out their explanations below — and feel free to imagine how different Westeros would be with these fine actors in the mix.
Brian Cox
The veteran star of everything from “Super Troopers” to the “X-Men” films, the Scottish actor undoubtedly would have fit in perfectly in Westeros. But according to a new interview with U.K. siteVodzilla, he passed on the HBO series because of money — and now that he’s a fan, he kicks himself every time he tunes in. “Well, stupidly, I turned it down in the early days because they didn’t pay enough money,” he says. “Now they have more money. And I was silly. I was silly, it was silly, because I’m a complete addict now.”
Watching his former “Deadwood” co-star Ian McShane’s recent one episode, scene-stealing stint, Cox admits that he still holds out hope of getting on the show. “But I don’t know what I could play. Maybe I could do –- I mean, I just watched my friend Ian McShane, and I thought, ‘Ooh, Ian’s in it’, so I settled down to watch him. And I thought, ‘Ian did that?’ and immediately I thought, ‘God, they must have paid him well’, because I know Ian!”
Gillian Anderson
As the show was launching, the “X-Files” star reportedly was offered a key role — but turned it down because of scheduling conflicts. “My 18-year-old cannot believe that I would turn down ‘Game Of Thrones’ or ‘Downton [Abbey]’ — things she loves to watch,” the actress said in a 2013 interview with The Daily Mail, admitting that she turned down the PBS hit show as well. Speculation has long held that Anderson was targeted to play either Cersei or Melisandre on “Thrones.”
Ray Stevenson
The beefy star of “Punisher: War Zone” and the “Thor” films revealed last year that he was offered a role as “Game of Thrones” was being developed as a series — and later approached a second time but declined again because he was afraid he’d already ruined the experience for himself.
“I was offered [a role]. I also saw them before they even started, very early on,” he explained. “I was offered a 4-6 month stint. [The show] was just too far down the line for me. Having already been seen at the beginning, I would rather have been involved in the growth of a show, even though everyone gets bumped off left, right and center.”
Dominic West
The star of “The Wire” had an inside track at HBO when “Thrones” was just getting started, so it’s no surprise that he was offered the role of Mance, leader of the Wildlings. Nearly reuniting with his “Wire” co-star Aidan “Littlefinger” Gillen, he instead passed. “I was offered something on ‘Game Of Thrones’ and unfortunately, I hadn’t seen it,” he later told the Huffington Post. “[Later], my nephew and his father said, ‘Gosh, ‘Game Of Thrones’ is the only great show on!’ And I felt terrible, because I’d just turned them down.”

Thank you for this 3x! I will download and save to play years from now to be reminded why I was so enthralled with GOT. Amazing epic sharp GOT scenes! The editing and focal point arrangement of to convey pivotal dramatic relevance is nothing short of artistic genius. Easy to forget how these characters have aged with the complexity of the story. This may be the best of the great mini series HBO has produced. The detail, camera angles, tone, perspective of this production is stellar. Ok, I 'm high but dam this is cinematic eye candy for real!
Sam's been one of the coolest cats in showbiz for decades. Always enjoy his work & role choices.

^^ Agreed.
HBO should hire this guy. Great drop.
He's definitely put together some of the VERY BEST 'fan made' Thrones footage I've ever seen.
Probably a 'professional editor', imo.
If not... He should use these clips as a 'portfolio/resume' and look to change careers immediately.
Here's a few more clips from his channel....
HBO Announces the Next Season of Game of Thrones Will Only Have Seven Episodes
Seven kingdoms! Seven gods! And now, season seven of Game of Thrones will only have seven episodes! Coincidence?! Almost certainly!
Both the showrunners and the directors haven’t exactly kept Game of Thrones’ shortened final seasons a secret, but now HBO has specified there will be only seven new episodes of the show airing next year, and that the season will indeed premiere later than usual. From Variety:
“Now that winter has arrived on ‘Game of Thrones,’ executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss felt that the storylines of the next season would be better served by starting production a little later than usual, when the weather is changing,” said Casey Bloys, president, HBO programming. “Instead of the show’s traditional spring debut, we’re moving the debut to summer to accommodate the shooting schedule.”
Specifically, they have to wait to shoot until actual winter comes, because, well, winter has finally come to Westeros. But that’s only for southern locations like King’s Landing; the show will also be filming part of the upcoming season in Iceland, presumably for places the winter will hit hardest (e.g. Winterfell).
Anyway, I’m going to put my money on season eight also having seven episodes, but with the final episode being a massive, two-hour epic, thus resulting in the 75-hour total that Benioff has said they always had in mind from the beginning. And I’ll please a smaller, secondary bet on the last two episodes both being an hour and a half long, with the penultimate episode being the final fight with the White Walkers and the finale being an epilogue (there’s going to be a lot of stuff to wrap up, after all).

Streaming Is Only Making Game of Thrones’ Audience More Massive
The audience for Game of Thrones is still growing — a lot. Per HBO, season six of the epic drama drew an average of 25.1 million viewers per episode once DVR replays, rebroadcasts, and non-linear platforms such as HBO Go and HBO Now were tallied. That’s an increase of roughly 25 percent over the show’s season five multi-platform audience — and nearly double the show’s estimated audience just three years ago, in 2013. What’s really driving the audience explosion for GOT is digital: Around 6 million viewers caught episodes via HBO Go or HBO Now, a stunning increase from 2013, when HBO estimated that fewer than 1 million watched via streaming. When you add in the roughly 4 million who caught the show this season via HBO On Demand, about 10 million people — around 40 percent percent of the show’s total — watched GOT without ever making the conscious decision to tune in to a channel or set their DVRs. HBO says that non-linear audience jumped a massive 91 percent between seasons five and six. As it has been for a few years now, Game of Thrones remains the top-rated show in HBO history.

See this is what happens when companies embraces a new way of doing things. If only our government can do the same.Streaming Is Only Making Game of Thrones’ Audience More Massive

Game of Thrones: HBO announces summer return, 7 episodes
Summer is coming.
HBO is officially confirming some major changes for Game of Thrones.
Season 7 of the fantasy sensation will not return until summer 2017 – pushing back from the show’s usual strategy of premiering each edition of the series in the spring (typically April).
Also, the network is confirming for the first time that next edition will consist of seven episodes (a pull back from the show’s usual 10 hours).
Plus, HBO added that the next season will be shot in Northern Ireland, Spain, and Iceland. It’s been a couple years since the Thrones team used Iceland for significant shooting, having primarily used the location for North of the Wall scenes when Jon Snow was embedded with the Wildlings camp.

Non-book readers are lucky they didn't read some of the shit Ramsay did to people...
We gotta wait for a god dayum year for Game of Thrones... 
Fuck HBO, one season left and they split it in two. Breaking bad started this shit
Nah The Sopranos started this shit
We gotta wait for a god dayum year for Game of Thrones...
It wouldn't be that bad if we were waiting for a full season, but to have to wait this long for seven makes it even worse
