After an epic duel between The Viper and The Mountain, HBO's fantasy series "Game of Thrones" will return this Sunday with another epic battle between the Night's Watch and Mance Ryder's Army, the Wildlings. Now on its ninth episode, GOT season 4 is now close to wrapping up with one more episode for the show's finale and fans can only reminisce the extraordinary journey of its characters through the show's unforgettable quotes.
With so many twists and turns of the show, GOT fans are left speechless like the gruesome fight on Episode 8 that killed Oberyn Martell or Season 3's finale the "Red Wedding." Since the brutal beheading of Ned Stark from Season 1, "Game of Thrones" showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff often use the cliffhangers to keep its fans on their those and craving for more.
"Song of Ice and Fire" highly-acclaimed author George R.R. Martin recently revealed on his interview with Entertainment Weekly that "Game of Thrones" can't be told in seven seasons. "My plan is to finish in seven, but my original plan was to finish in three," he revealed.
"I write the stories and they grow. I deal with certain things and sometimes I find myself not at the end of a story. My plan right now is still seven. But first I have to finish Book Six. Get back to me when I'm half-way through Book Seven and then maybe I'll tell you something more meaningful," he added.
