Feel free to discuss any future speculation, theories. Anything from the books is fair game to post. Everything that has been broadcast on TV or from HBO. No spoilers needed.
If you watched or know the events that will take place in a unaired episode that has not been broadcast on HBO, you must put all the information and comments in a spoiler tag.
Do not post any media of any kind involving actual content from unaired episodes without being in a spoiler. The only exception to the spoiler rule is content publicly posted from HBO and or the GOT actor themselves. Teasers, promos, trailers etc.
Any person unable to follow the spoiler rules will be banned from this thread. 14 days for first offense. Perm banned from the thread for a 2nd offense.

But, this is the biggest hit HBO and cable has ever had. Sopranos was a big hit in the USA but no where near the phenomena that is GOT worldwide. They should have the money to put out another two full seasons of 20 episodes. There is still plenty of story left to tell.
In 2015 HBO reported income of $4.7 billion. I'm sure GOT is responsible for a lot of that revenue. You can spend $200 million a year on GOT and that is still only a small % of your revenue.
