Despite the breaking news that likely impacted the viewership of HBO’s Game of Thrones in other time zones (the East Coast managed to be finished just before word started to get out that an announcement was pending), James Hibberd of Entertainment Weekly has broken the news that the third episode scored 2.4 million viewers—up about 10% from last week—and added an additional 700,000 at its 11PM encore to reach the 3.1 million mark in total, again, 200,000 better than last week’s 2.9 million mark.
Hibberd also adds that the premiere has risen to 8.7 million views in total, via all HBO platforms such as On Demand and HBO GO.
At the same time, good news in the U.K., as Game of Thrones holds steady, dropping only a very small amount to 510,000 viewers, which is on the top end for Sky Atlantic.

It has to be a good sign when a series goes UP in viewership on its third episode! It gives me hope that the future 6 seasons (ya I said it!) will have more episodes than this year or next year's planned episode total.
ReplyDeleteYep, will be interesting to see if the trend continues next episode.
ReplyDeleteIf you just jinks it I swear I will send Valyrian steel armed assassin to your house! Ok.. I wouldn't have him kill you, but he would taunt you mercilessly!
ReplyDeleteHa LOL!
ReplyDeleteI've just started building a fortified moat!
I found this "Cheat Sheet" last week, but forgot to add it anywhere. I figure this is as good as place as any since I don't think it deserves its own post....
ReplyDeleteSome people may find t very useful... or mildly so... or just pretty to look at....
Where's Lancel?
ReplyDeleteHa! Well, he would be Tywin's younger brother Kevan's son or Cersi and Jaime's younger cousin. They don;t have EVERYONE on that cheat sheet, but still applaud whoever made it.
ReplyDeleteI know that, I recently stumbled upon a complete (at least I believe it was complete) family tree of the most important houses. Damn me for not bookmarking it, I can't find it anymore.
ReplyDeleteAh, ok. Hard to read sarcasm on here at times....
ReplyDeleteThey have a good one on the Westeros wiki, but they have a lot of spoilers so I am not sure you want to check that out.
The HBO viewer's guide maybe? It has a nice one too if I recall. I haven't been to it in weeks....
Awesome! This show has been getting such positive buzz, it must be attracting more viewers. Plus the repeats certainly help!
