Season 6 seems relatively short compared to other seasons so far. 601 - 50 minutes 602 - 54 minutes 603 - 53 minutes 609 better be an hour long SNOWBOWL-only episode or I'll be pissed ;-| Man the last half of the season better have long episodes. Either that of Winds of Winter is really only about 200 pages long! |

I'm so curious to know of how many eps each character is gonna get and how much screentime each storyline will get. First time that we can't truly speculate much about that.

It should be pretty similar to last year. The Wall plot will move with Jon and fold into Sam, so a large Castle Black reduction. Stannis' time will be absorbed by Bran. Ironborn will come from reduction in Dorne/folding Jaime into King's Landing. Riverlands will come from Jaime's time. Barristan/Hizdahr reduction will compensate for Daenerys leaving Meereen. |

Season 6 seems relatively short compared to other seasons so far. 601 - 50 minutes 602 - 54 minutes 603 - 53 minutes As a comparison, the runtime of the first three episodes of last season was: 501 - 55 minutes 502 - 58 minutes 503 - 60 minutes I'm mildly surprised with the shorter episodes. Given the very large amount of storylines this season, I was expecting 56-59 minutes episodes. I hope they find a way to balance all the different arcs and give them enough screentime without rushing everything. |

I hope they find a way to balance all the different arcs and give them enough screentime without rushing everything. I imagine that'll be handled by excluding certain storylines from each episode. Objectively I don't mind the shorter episodes because imho some of the best ones are the shortest ones, but it is odd considering the heavy lifting a premiere of such a busy show is supposed to or is at least expected to do. But my guess is the first two episodes will be like a two part premiere, saving the intros for certain locations until the second week to space things out and let the aftermath of 510 breathe a little more. |

Well like Konrad said there are quite a few shorter episodes that have been pretty good. All of the episodes from the second half of S4 except for "The Children" were 50-52 minutes. Although I could see the second half of Season 6 having longer episodes or at least I hope so. |

3x09 is also 50 minutes long. An episode that can be found in almost every top 5. I don't mind shorter episodes.  |

Yeah, but half of 3x09 was just the RW and the other half was like three other storylines, each very briefly addressed. Jon's and Bran's storylines crossed paths and shared some ten minutes of screentime, Sam and Gilly appeared for like two minutes and Dany took Yunkai in what lasted like eight minutes. No KL, no Sansa, no Stannis, no Theon. I don't imagine the premiere for S6 will have so few storylines like 3x09 did. Most main characters are scattered across the world. |

Anyway 6x01 will very likely be The Wall, King's Landing, Meereen, Dothraki Sea, Winterfell, Bran, and maybe Braavos (depending on if the stunt doubles are really credited for the premiere) so fitting 6/7 storylines into 50 minutes does sound extremely crowded.

I thought , if I remember right, some episode times have turned out to be longer or shorter than the initial published times? |

I think Arya's storyline will be left for episode 2, like it has almost always been. IIRC 4x01 is the only premiere (apart from the pilot) that included Arya. I'd say the Wall will take most time, KL and Winterfell coming second. |

So we'll probably get The Wall/Winterfell/Winterfell outskirts/King's Landing/Dothraki Sea/Meereen. It might end up a bit rushed, but I think it's doable. I'll try to break it down and make some guesses: The Wall: 15-20 min (FTW aftermath, Davos and Mel discuss, some scene between the traitors, Davos protects Jon's body and maybe Jon's resurrection in the end). Winterfell: 5-7 min (Ramsay and Roose get the news about Sansa and Reek's escape and talk about it with a likely "don't make me rue the day"-esque line, making some plans to control the situation maybe). Winterfell outskirts: 5 min (Sansa and Reek running, caught by Boltons and saved by Brienne). King's Landing: 10-15 min (Jaime arrives with Myrcella's body, some drama between Cersei and Jaime, an update on the Tyrells and on the Faith militant). Dothraki Sea: 5-7 min (Dany walking among the horde and talking to some horselords) Meereen: 5 min (a brief update on the situation in Meereen with some typical clever dialogue between Tyrion and Varys, among other things). |

Meereen also has the new Red Priestess arriving. Wait - the dialogue of that scene had Tyrion and Varys telling the priestess that Stannis is dead. There's no way they could get that information that fast, unless the time in Essos moves much faster than in the North. |

She'll show up probably earliest in 602 but more likely 603 or 604. It's seeing the "Mhysa is a master too" graffiti that will prompt Tyrion to think someone like her's needed in Meereen. So she won't show up right away. |

I don't remember the info around her, but I expected her to show up only by episode 3 or 4. Edit: ninja'd |
