The ‘Game of Thrones’ Emmy Submissions Revealed Some Cryptic Info About This Season’s Final Episodes

If you’ve been paying close attention to the ebbs and flows
of Game of Thrones seasons, you’ll have noticed a trend: out
of the ten episodes a season, episode nine is always insane.
Ned Stark’s death, the battle for King’s Landing, the Red
Wedding, and the Wildling attack on the wall were all
episode nine, with the next episode serving to mop up after
all the carnage.
