Seven things you need to know about Game of thrones season 7…
1 PACE MAKER
The pace of Game-play picked up like wildfire in Season 6 of HBO’s George R.R. Martin adap. With just two shortened seasons left to go, expect events to move a sight faster than ever. “I was like, ‘Already? Now?!,’” says Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) of reading the S7 scripts. “A lot of things that normally take a season now take one episode.”
2 THE GREAT WAR IS HERE
So speaks Kit Harington’s King in the North, Jon Snow. Now looking unhinged on the much-contested Iron Throne, mad Queen Cersei (Lena Headey) faces enemies every which way. Snow and Emilia Clarke’s dragon-riding Daenerys Targaryen (plus Dothraki and Dornish/Ironborn followers) will likely confront Cersei, as might Maisie Williams’ revenge-fired Arya Stark. “For a long time, we’ve been talking about ‘the wars to come’,” co-showrunner David Benioff explains. “Well, that war is pretty much here.”
