GOT is Coming!

In fact, season six of Game of Thrones arrives tonight on HBO.  The latest trailer gives you some sense of what is to come.  And if you are a little lost since last season, you can catch up this this New York Times piece titled "Game of Thrones' Season 6: Here's Where We Left Off."  For instance, we are reminded about Brandon Stark's story: 

Bran took a gap year to focus on his studies with the Three-Eyed Raven, who will be played by Max von Sydow this season. Perhaps you’ve been puzzled by photos and trailers from the new season that show the paraplegic Bran standing. The explanation is that he is able to walk in his visions, which we’ve previously seen in bits and pieces but will be more substantial this year, as Bran comes into his own as metaphysical force. 

The latest news is seasons seven and eight will be shorter as they wrap up the series - sounds like one season divided into two, as was done with the final seasons of Mad Men. 

And don't forget to also watch the third season of Silicon Valley and the fifth season of Veep.  Both shows have already been renewed for another season.

Yes, a very busy night on HBO.
