On this beautiful and sunny Thursday, June 30, 2016, some equally beautiful hotness!

On Wednesday, June 29, 2016, we have more hotness!

Director Miguel Sapochnik talks about the 25-minute opening sequence, making special note of the rather unusual piece of music accompanying it as well as saying it was his idea to have that orgasmic, amazing shot of High Sparrow disintegrating into a pile of nothing. I love this man.

Finale ratings set a record for the show, with 8.9 million viewers! The overall ratings are up to 23 million viewers, up 15% from last season. HBO must be salivating to keep the show on air for as long as possible.

It's a rainy Tuesday, June 28, 2016 but this man brings on the sunshine! Oh, Chris!

Just 13 episodes! The realization is really hitting me.

Yeah I don't think anyone would seriously expect Margaery to survive it. BUT, if we were to entertain the idea, the fact that we saw High Sparrow disintegrate into nothingness while we didn't Margaery could, in some other show like Arrow, mean that she found an improbable way to get out of there in the nick of time and we just didn't see it. But, yeah, she's ashes. I don't see what further dramatic purpose she serves and using all those deaths to fuel Olenna's thirst for revenge is delicious. By uniting do you mean as a couple/husband and wife? Because, based on info we have now, he's her nephew! lol Not that that means anything on this show. They might unite as "family." As for Daario, I think they've been doing an arc on how Dany has been changing and becoming colder and more ruthless. They've at least implied part of her ancestors' villainy may live inside her and could, potentially, take over. At this point, she's so close to getting what she wants, so Daario will be eliminated if he stands in her way for sure. Lady Mormont? Say it ain't so!

This was so orgasmic!

That's a great observation about the women in the show. This season truly has been their journey to power, with all its beautiful and ugly consequences. They are true players of the game, which will only serve to make the climax of the story better. In a season with so many stories vying for best, Jon and Sansa's reunion and building of a (further) connection is such a strong contender, and the process of bringing them where they were in the finale felt so natural and organic. Sansa's tragedies, as you point out, weren't torture porn or useless devices to delay plot. They built her and matured her into who she became, and gave her a lot of stunning material in the process. As a person, I was sad to see her go through everything she did, but in terms of drama, it was great! The show plays the long game, always has. You can't always see how what is happening right now will fall into place later, and everything with Sansa has built up wonderfully. LMAO! Margaery is alive but blind! Loras has amnesia! All joking aside, I did wonder if, somehow, Margaery comes back, burned and vengeful. Probaaaaably not, but an enticing possibility lol Cersei hates him (and everyone else), plus he was one of her many opponents to rule, one of few she was not able to nuke in the Sept. Qyburn is her loyal man and the new Grand Maester. Yeah, Cersei and Pycelle have been "feuding" for as long as I can remember. She hated his guts enormously. There was no way he'd live past this. Thank God for that! OMG. Yes.

This was such an amazing, brilliant ending to one of the show's best seasons yet, and there are hardly any words for it. Perhaps the most interesting part in an episode full of non-stop jaw-droppers was Cersei, who I love so much for being such an utterly complex character that can't simply fit into a mold. That one, long opening montage of a scene was just beautiful, a collection of stunning direction, great photography, perfect production and the music doing something different than we've ever heard before. The blowing up of the sept, apart from being a visually thrilling moment, is just such a great climax to a storyline that became somewhat tiring. Seeing the HS being completely obliterated was so satisfying. It's sad to see Margaery go but I am so very happy that, at the very least, she remained smart and cunning all the way until the end -- she was the only one who knew they were screwed, even if she didn't know how. It was a great way to honor her character, even in those last few moments. Cersei's smile at watching the sept burn, like we did, was fantastic. Tommen just killing himself. And then Cersei's sadistic, yet oddly gleeful, torture of the septa. We don't see what Clegane does to her, and we don't need to, but Cersei saying "shame, shame, shame" as she walks out was utterly perfect. And let's not forget that black dress she put on. Arya killing Frey was such a huge stunner as well. Again, utterly complex writing, making you both happy and uncomfortable at the same time. She really did create some kind of poetic symmetry with how she got rid of Frey. Sam having a near orgasm when he saw that library. Hell, so did I! That was very sweet and touching. I haven't had many good things to say about Dorne and the Sand Snakes, but bringing them together with Olenna and then to Dany for the purpose of revenge was really great. Not to mention the utter shutdown Olenna delivered to those hateful annoying Snakes. A spinoff were she does that all the time, please! I'm glad Melisandre is getting to leave alive. Davos yelling that he loved the little princess was very touching, but Melisandre's part in this is not over yet, and I'm glad she lives to see another day. It's so great to see Sansa and Jon's bond. I like to believe those two will stick together, although Littlefinger is clearly still a huge threat. And I cried when we saw Jon's birth. We have yet to be 100% sure of his father but so glad to finally learn about his mother. Lady Mormont is amazing -- another spinoff! But Jon getting proclaimed the King of the North. What a climactic, thoroughly earned moment. Bye Daario! Not like we're gonna miss you. The scene between Tyrion and Dany was so necessary, so I'm relieved they did it. Those two are a good duo. And, of course, the ending shot of the season. Just marvelous. Things are about to hit the fan! Winter is come!

It's Monday, June 27, 2016! Double hotness for the start of the week!

They are getting dragged to hell and back! I mean, this is CBS. They might get enough out of it to get it to go on in a mediocre fashion for a few years, but I won't expect much else. lol

It's Sunday, June 26, 2016. It's beautiful, sunny, and HOT, in more ways than one! lmao

It's a beautiful Saturday, June 25, 2016, so let's celebrate with this beautiful man! Happy weekend!

And there you have it: Brexit won't impact GOT production.

Welcome to this historic Friday, June 24, 2016.... say bye bye UK!

Very excited about this. Love the idea of them doing season arcs and going for more inclusion. I wonder, have they revealed whether the show will air all at once or weekly?

It's Thursday, June 23, 2016. Damp and cloudy, but this hotness makes it all better!

Ratings are at a record high for Season 6, with 23 million viewers when all is counted. Even with 18-49, which HBO does not even bother to track, they often beat all other cable and network competition.

This is so adorable. (Apologies if it's been posted before)

Welcome to Wednesday, June 22, 2016 -- Humpday! Enjoy your day!

Lynda Carter will be appearing on several episodes of season 2 as POTUS.

It's a hot Tuesday, June 21, 2016. Let's get on a bike and get away!

"What the devil is going on here, anyway?" [/BlakeCarrington] Oh, the irony....

The trailer is here! A little over a month away.
