So you have a lot of questions about the new season of Game of Thrones. We do too. And amazingly enough, we were actually in a position to ask some of them, though if you expected anyone to spill major spoilers…ehhh, not so much.

Unless the presence of Gendry counts! But we weren’t allowed to talk to him. So maybe he’ll still be rowing on the show. Such mysteries.

Take a look at what else our own Alicia Lutes was able to extract from some of the players:

So it seems that there is no Dana Bran, only Zuul Three-Eyed Raven, which is interesting. And that flaming swords really are cool (our hearts would truly have been broken if reliable sources had revealed they actually suck). But what will the Sand Snakes have to do with anything? Is somebody else getting poisoned? (Probably; that happens a lot.) When will Sansa finally realize that Littlefinger needs to go? How drunk will Tyrion get? (We mean on power, but the other way works too.)

Alicia will be recapping tomorrow night’s big premiere here on Nerdist in case you miss anything, or just want to figure out what details you might have missed that she didn’t. While it may be a hot, hot summer outside, winter will be here within…and by “here,” let’s assume we mean whatever room your TV is in.

Are you ready for more Game of Thrones? Will it be a battle for the remote with the Twin Peaks fan in your house? Can you say “G-d bless DVRs”? Have at it in our comments section.
