I really hope not. I want her to be the survivor.
When the fantasy drama based on George R.R. Martinâs best-sellers returns July 16 for season seven, it will have 13 episodes remaining, with seven this year and the remaining six either in 2018 or 2019. Then itâs up to HBOâs development pipeline to see if one of the four (possibly five) prequel series comes in strong enough to move forward after the rightful heir to the Iron Throne is finally revealed.
At least until the last episode. Then she can die a nasty death.
Um, we didnât see Margaery at all in S7 Ep. 1. She wasnât even mentioned.
Wasnât she in the church when the explosion happened (last season - no recent spoilers)?
Yes. There couldnât have been any survivors from that.
If she does appear, sheâs not going to have very many lines.
Ouch!
Ye, she ded.
So people have kept insisting since last season, but I choose to believe that she miraculously survived and will return!
At last, Daenerys has arrived in Westeros.
Why is Ed Sheeran?
Because he is a huge fan of the show and one of Maisie Williams favourite singers.
Disappointing picture and sound quality on my recording of the âsame time as the USâ GOT. Even though it was 1080 and Dolby D there was a lot of compression. IIRC in previous seasons the prime time broadcast is a better quality - I didnât check that tonight.
So glad this show is back. Solid epsiode. Not much really happened but its setting us up now. I love Cersei.
I watched it live at 11 am. I didnât notice the HD being poorer than usual, but now and then the picture seemed to jump, as though some frames were skipped.
BTW, I saw Sansaâs line âSo thereâs no punishment for treason and no reward for loyalty?â on Twitter a minute or so before she actually said it on Showcase. I donât normally follow social media reaction in real time, so it doesnât matter to me, but for those who do, the lag would have been a little annoying.
Game of Thrones Season 7 premiere smashes ratings records for Foxtel
The premiere episode of season 7 of Game of Thrones has smashed records for Foxtel, achieving the highest ratings ever for a series in the history of subscription television in Australia.
Airing exclusively on Foxtelâs showcase channel and streaming on Foxtel Now, the much-anticipated first episode of the worldwide television phenomenon was televised yesterday at 11.00am AEST in a global television simulcast.
The day one Episode 1 audience of 820,000 viewers was an all-time record and an increase of 13 percent on Season 6âs launch in 2016. This figure includes streamed views on Foxtel Now. Episode 1 reached a total of 893,000 unique individuals.
Brian Walsh, Foxtelâs Executive Director of Television said, âGame of Thrones has again broken records worldwide cementing its place in television history as one of the most watched programming events of all time. The audience of 820,000 who tuned in to Episode 1 is unprecedented for Foxtel and we are ecstatic with the result. I fully expect this number to tilt at 1.5 million by the weekâs end once more customers have viewed the episode through our catch up On Demand service and encore screenings which are scheduled on the showcase channel throughout the week.
âAs has been reported, HBO in the US, its affiliate in Latin America, and Foxtel all experienced some technical glitches with our respective streaming products and we reiterate our disappointment for those customers impacted by the outage. Foxtel engineers are working to resolve the issue to ensure smooth transmission for the remainder of the series,â he said.
Alongside a piece recapping yesterdayâs new episode of Game of Thrones, The Daily Telegraph published an article on âhow the NBN aids internet piratesâ that demonised VPNs. I found it quite amusing having read a lot of criticism last night about Foxtelâs inadequate, unreliable streaming service on social media.
I doubt weâll be reading any criticism on the Teleâs letters page regarding the failure and Foxtelâs inability to stream the show in true HD. So many people are trying to do the right thing and pay for the content they consume but end up discovering it is much easier to source the show by other means. Iâd love to see some real competition in this country to force Foxtel to up their game and provide streaming services on par with what is available in other countries. Hopefully HBO will look into introducing their own HBO Now streaming service here once the current rights deal with Foxtel expires.
I understand you can enjoy the show without the shite mark via HBO streaming services, also.
Foxtel was quick to point out that sites in other countries, including HBOâs own, also had âtechnical glitchesâ with streaming the show, no doubt to try to take the heat off themselves.
