WiC Weekly: April 24-30

It’s the day of a new Game of Thrones episode—always a happy day—and it’s time to look back on the week before. What Game of Thrones-related subjects were people buzzing about this week? Let’s take a look.

In addition to the photos, we also have HBO’s official description of “Home,” together with the description for the third episode, “Oathbreaker.”

You’ve seen the photos. You’ve read the description. Now watch the trailer for “Home.”

Hopefully, “Home” will build on the momentum Game of Thrones developed in “The Red Woman.” Check out our recaps.

All in all, the Season 6 premiere was well-received…with the possible exception of the scenes featuring characters from Dorne. Those…were rough, but a prop HBO spotlighted on its Making Game of Thrones blog plugs a few (but by no means all) of the plotholes.

HBO has done a good job of plugging leaks this year, but minor things are still getting out. For example, the title of fourth episode of Season 6 may have gotten out.

HBO released the running times for every episode of Season 6. Some are much longer than others. What does that mean?

You can’t say that Game of Thrones Season 6 didn’t start with a bang. The ending with Melisandre created plenty of buzz. Actress Carice Van Houten and director Jeremy Podeswa talked about what they were going for.

After that reveal broke, we looked into the question more deeply:

Let’s end with a big picture story about Game of Thrones Season 6 as a whole. David Benioff and Dan Weiss talked about the thematic thrust behind the stories this year.
