Yeah, I'm counting the days until season 7 starts. I finished watching season 6 last October!
I know more major characters will be killed off between this season and the final season 8 but I just really hope that Brienne of Tarth, Jon Snow and Tyrion Lannister make it through.
I forsee Jamie Lannister and Bron going down in glorious flames as brothers in arms. ;-)

No, book 6 still has not been released. Book 7 is due sometime before we all forget about the series finale which we will have seen so many years in the past...

The Jedi Master Book 7 will pick up in the future, 18 generations after Tormund Giantsbane, Sansa Stark, and Yara Greyjoy are married as "The King and Queens in the North" and soundly defeat the remnants of Danaerys Targaryen's forces after the army of the undead wipes out her Dothraki. Her dragons are defeated by The Night King.

Martin is out. His publisher is (understandably) impatient to get book 6 and the series has been a distraction for him. Meanwhile, over the years many characters in the books have been killed off in the show because they needed someone to die but the show has fewer characters than the books did. So Grenn for example dies in the battle of the wall in the show but is alive and well at the end of book 5 IIRC. Martin does not have the time to make two parallel stories. Had book 7 come out years ago, yeah, he could've written these final seasons, but not ahead of time. Anyway, winter is finally here as of the finale of S6, so it's going to be cold and snowy in the remaining eps...aside perhaps from Dorne. The Jedi Master

They said they planned originally for 70 episodes/hours.
They will end with 73, with the final 10 expanded into 7 and 6.
Really, it's Twilight/Hunger Games/Harry Potter Pt 1 and 2 but for TV.
HBO decided against a final 13 episode season I guess, two gives them two more years instead of one.

Understandable from a business perspective. They know that a lot of people sign up for HBO when the GOT season starts and then cancel it when the season ends. So might as well stretch it out!

Battle of the Bastards was stupid. Very. I wanted to get up and strangle Jon trough the TV screen. Not sure why they needed to make him temporarily stupid
The only thing that bothered me about the battle was the predictable use of deus ex machina with Bailish and the soldiers of the Veil coming to save the day.

Why men throw their lives away attacking an armed Witcher... I'll never know. Something wrong with my face?
