![]() We caught the newd Targaryan love boat scene from the end of last season and then the fall of the Wall and HBO throws up a countdown timer: The new season begins in 8:20. Lady C and I got the kids to bed and turned on HBO early to make sure - perish the thought - that there were no last-minute technical glitches. HBO really knows what they have in Game of Thrones. I’ve been delighted to welcome show watchers and book readers alike here under the Pajiba virtual tent, and I hope you’ve had nearly as much fun reading them as I have writing them. I consider myself wildly lucky to have been able to follow my favorite show in its heyday, as it moves past the written George R.R. It has been a joy and an honor to bring you these deep dives for several years now. Nothing makes my day more than someone de-lurking because of something I wrote. So, lurkers who read these deep dives, come out of your Jon Snow love caves and join the Freefolk on the boards. While I cannot be with each and every one of you in your own elegant rooms, I love the conversation we have together, especially when you comment. Gather your rosebuds while ye may, but at least for five more weeks, never on Sunday night.Ī wise man once said the true history of the world is a history of great conversations in elegant rooms. We stand upon what might be the last great monolith of weekly television in the world. ![]() We have begun our work weeks, mere hours later, often with the taste of shock and horror on our tongues, and absorbed all manner of tweets and posts and articles about Game of Thrones throughout the week, to arrive back on Sunday nights, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, for more love, more intrigue and more carnage. We have spent the better part of a decade vacationing there, loyally and resolutely on Sunday nights. A protected realm where we never really know how it’s all going to shake out, but we allow ourselves to fall in love anyway. For many of us, it has been a unique destination of escape. We’ve been away from Game of Thrones since August 2017, and what jumped out at me the most upon returning is a profound sense of nostalgia about being back in Westeros. Today we begin the end, together again for six more episodes.
