HBO Announces a “Power Play” Game of Thrones Marathon

Have you been watching the 50-Game-of-Thrones-Episodes-in-50 Days marathon that’s been happening on HBO Now? No? You’d just like the show’s major events, please and thank you? Then HBO2 has the marathon for you. Entitled “Power Play,” this is a special set of mini-marathons that will run starting next week. Each mini-marathon will feature a collection of episodes that highlight the big “power plays” made by three of the major Houses on the show. Here’s the trailer:

Going through the HBO Schedule, let’s see which episodes will be featured for which House.

House Stark: Monday April 4th- Thursday April 7th

• April 4: Game of Thrones 25: Kissed By Fire
• April 5: Game of Thrones 31: Two Swords
• April 6: Game of Thrones 38: The Mountain and the Viper
• April 7: Game of Thrones 43: High Sparrow

House Lannister: Monday April 11th-Thursday April 14th

• April 11: Game of Thrones 11: The North Remembers
• April 12: Game of Thrones 18: The Prince of Winterfell

Interesting choices! Do you guys agree with the picks? Are these the biggest “Power Play” episodes for each of these Houses? (How do House Lannister’s Power Plays not include the events of “The Rains of Castamere?”)

The three weeks of Power Play episodes will air Monday-Thursday at 10pm on HBO2, wrapping up just a few days before the Season 6 premiere on April 24.
