WiC Weekly: January 17-23

Let’s get right into it: what Game of Thrones-related stories made waves this past week?

To start, HBO tossed eager fans a bone when it released three new teasers for Game of Thrones Season 6. Can a trailer far behind?

Next, we have some fun with point-counterpoint. I lay out some of my concerns about the coming season: have the Game of Thrones writers gotten to the point where they prize flash over substance?

I’m worried, but Ani sees the silver lining.

We got our first look at what Jaime Lannister will be doing in Game of Thrones Season 6.

We’re tired of waiting for HBO to tell us what the episode titles for Season 6 are, so we did some guesstimating.

What would George R.R. Martin’s publisher have to do to get The Winds of Winter out as soon as possible. This inside look at the publishing industry gives us some insight.

What book character do fans most want to see in Season 6? Plenty of names came up, but one dominated the competition.

Next, Mark Addy looks back on the early years of the show, and drops some interesting insights.

One of those current Game of Thrones actors, Natalie Dormer, teases her character’s storyline in Season 6.

Rounding out the cast interviews, newcomer Pilou Asbæk discusses what his character, Euron Greyjoy, will bring to the table.

It’s January. Do you know where your Lannisters are? We catch everyone up with members of Westeros’ least-liked family so you’re ready for their new adventures come April.

We take another look at the history of the Known World. This time, the subject is Dorne. Also, we delineate exactly why the region went over so poorly on screen during Season 5.

We lied: we have one more cast member interview for you. Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) teases the new season.
