Join Watchers Geoffery (Sullied) and Nate (Partly-Unsullied) in a synchronised re-watch of episodes seven and eight, “The Gift” and “Hardhome.” This week, we decided to pare down our discussion and focus on some key themes of the season, namely Cersei’s downfall, Arya’s progression and the White Walkers.

Now that filming in Spain for Game of Thrones season 6 is official, production is under way, with extras casting announced and more locations popping up.
The cities of Girona and Peñíscola have been confirmed as locations, and extras will be drawn from the local population. According to ElPuntAvui, Fresco Film Services (the film production company working with GoT once again in Spain) is seeking 1500 extras. Casting will take place on July 1st and 2nd.

The TCA- a group that includes “more than 200 professional TV critics and journalists from the United States and Canada” – selected Game of Thrones to compete in these categories:
