Can you imagine the smurfing riot that would induce if it were canceled mid-show?

Those who doubt lack faith in the... whatever god that is currently relevant.
No, King Rickon. Hodor as his Hand, and Pod as his head of the Kingsguard.

If there ever was a dead man walking in ASoIaF it's (SPOILER)Aegon/Faegon. He's either going down in a) the capture of Storm's End, b) greyscale from Jon Connington, or c) if Dany indeed shows up for the second Dance. My pick for the Iron Throne is Sansa, it would be a fitting implementation of the "bittersweet endings" GRRM has promised, for the girl who dreamed of being Queen in the first bookKing Hodor or bust
My current prediction is massive ADWD spoiler, seriously don't click if you haven't read the bookKing Aegon, but we could turn out to see an even more shocking curveballI wouldn't be entirely surprised if Margaery ends up on the throne either at this rate
I've always understood "speculative fiction" as being simply another, more pretentious term for science fiction alone. I know escapist fiction is often considered derogatory, but includes fantasy and occasionally horror.
Also, props for the Gene Wolfe appreciation.

SO ratings time.
At a premiere high, the first episode racked in 6.64 million views. Now when you consider the fact that this is the paid television you're dealing with, that's ridiculous. Count in all the pirating, the thing probably had double that.
Between HBO Go, the premiere, and the repeats, it is expected to be around 14 million viewers which is somewhere close to The Sopranos finale, I guess.
Queen sansa, dammit

ill take Maergery Tyrell as my hand
and perhaps Danny as my Queensguard :3

Where the smurf are you? Off gallivanting in the woods with a stick? I've been here supporting her and giving her comfort.
I'm sorry. I've been busy trying not to die.Where the smurf are you? Off gallivanting in the woods with a stick? I've been here supporting her and giving her comfort.
Me, I've just been going around burning trout, putting leeches on people's dicks, and causing a fair amount of ruckus.
Whoever is king, you have my loyal and unending support. I promise. Trust me.
