GAME OF THRONES

Steve Jennings/WireImage   It's been six years since A Dance with Dragons was published. In 2015, we were told by the publisher that the sixth book, The Winds of Winter, would be released November of that year. George R. R. Martin then came out and said he was stopping all guest appearances and working on the book to be released in April 2016, right before Season 6 began. Again, that date came and went with no book. Now there is talk of 4-5 "spin-off" series that would be prequels to Game of Thrones with pilot scripts being written for HBO as we speak. Martin is heavily involved in this process, which is further taking his attention away from the sixth and seventh books of the series. It's been over a year since we heard any rumors of a publication date. George R. R. Martin encourages his fans to be patient while most articles refer to us all as "impatient fans." I think we've been more than patient since we've already waited

Only 5 weeks and 2 days left until Game of Thrones starts. We've gotten a teaser trailer, some pics and an official trailer so there is plenty to analyze as to what may happen in Season 7. Here are some of my theories. VISCERION & RHAEGAL GET RIDERS Image via HBO. Dany claimed her Targaryen bond with Drogon back in Season 4 and its only grown stronger since then. Now it's time for Viserion and Rhaegal to get riders. We have 13 episodes left and two riderless dragons who can help in both of the wars to come. No Targaryen has ever controlled more than one dragon at a time and the dragon always has three heads. Check out my theory from a couple of months ago on who the other riders may be http://gamesforthethrone.blogspot.com/2017/03/my-crazy-game-of-thrones-theory-season.html . Though part of me hopes I am wrong and Tyrion is somehow destined to be a dragonrider. NYMERIA RETURNS Image via HBO. This face from Season 1 is enough to break

HBO finally released the official trailer for the seventh season of Game of Thrones. If you haven't seen it yet, here is the link: https://youtu.be/giYeaKsXnsI CERSEI'S MAP                                          Picture courtesy of HBO It looks like Cersei has made an addition to the Red Keep, her own map of Westeros painted on the floor of the castle. All the more better to stomp on her insufferable people. She assures her brother that even though they have enemies to the north, south, east and west, they will prevail. According to the latest edition of Entertainment Weekly, the producers say that Cersei has thought about the dragons and may have a plan to defend against them. The only thing I can think of at the moment that could somehow compare to dragons is wildfire, which is said to be the closest thing to dragonfire. Surely after the Battle of Blackwater Bay and her destruction of the Sept of Baelor last season her stores have been used
