[No Spoilers] The bittersweet aspect of the off-season that you should be paying attention to

We are all desperate for Season 7 to arrive. Personally, amidst my desperation I've been constantly estimating the number of days until the premiere, both optimistically and conservatively (optimistic = early June, conservative = early July), however I'm also constantly reminded of something. As much as I'm longing for the first episode of Season 7, considering there won't be 10 episodes I know that Season 7 will go by extremely quick.

So we have a dilemma here. Given the choice between waiting until the summer or watching Season 7 Episode 1 tomorrow, we would all bust out our Arbor Red and watch the fuck out of 7x01 tomorrow night. But 7 weeks later the depression will kick back in.

The point I'm trying to make is don't take these last 3-4 months of the offseason for granted. One of the beauties of the off-season is that the hype never dies. In the back of our minds we know that new episodes are coming soon, even if they will take many months. But once the season is over, the hype dies a bit.

There are so many things we all can do to pass the time while simultaneously filling the Westeros-sized hole in our hearts. Start the books. Re-watch the show until your eyes start to hurt. My personal recommendation is to check out YouTube channels like Blind Wave or FilmBuff to watch GoT virgins go through the Westerosi journey alongside a true man of winter to guide their journey.

We are almost there guys. Only a few more months. But like I said, a few more months isn't such a bad thing if you change your perspective a bit!
