Game of Thrones has only 13 episodes left

The Game of Thrones is almost done, as the pieces start moving in earnest towards Westeros in pursuit of the Iron Throne.

Game of Thrones season six just ended and it finally pushed things along in a way that previous seasons have seemed to avoid. Now that those elements are in play, it's time to rocket towards the finale.

We had previously heard that an agreement was made to end the series after the eigth season and that still seems to be the plan. We'd also heard that the last two runs could be shorter, with more packed into fewer episodes, and that has pretty much been confirmed.
