Bryan Cogman on the most difficult episode he’s ever written, and setting up for what’s to come by lightbringer

Let me tell you a bed-time story of 7 million viewers. It may come true, you never know.

The news broke a bit later than usual this Monday (hey, we cannot complain, we used to have to wait until Tuesday each week for some numbers most of the time), but boy is it a big one. Who else but Hibberd from EW reveals some choice number nuggets, the crown of which is Game of Thrones all-time high reached by episode 404: 6.9 million viewers for the original showing! A nice step up from 6.59m last week. The repeat brought the total for the night to 8.4 million.

Hear Me Roar: Is there still anyone who does not think we are reaching 7 million soon?
