Game of Thrones Returns

I remember that waiting. Popcorn, cold beer, the whole ritual of it. Season 4 was coming and you could feel the shift—this wasn’t the show anymore that people were still figuring out. By then everyone knew what it could do, and they were hungry to see what came next. The trailer promised secrets, violence, the kind of reckoning that kept us coming back. You don’t feel that kind of anticipation for television the same way anymore, at least I don’t.
