我们那么长时间的等待就快结束啦。第五季的季终集引申出了一千多种粉丝猜测，权力的游戏又打算在第六季开始开拓疆土了，第六季首秀定于4月24日，HBO。这部电视剧有史以来第一次，这电视剧将脱离原著。乔治RR马丁还没有写出这套书的最后2部，所以现在开始原著党和电视党将会在同一起跑线，让我们回到维斯特洛去看看吧

　　权力的游戏最让人失望的是缺少冰原狼，就像是龙对于丹妮莉丝·坦格利安 来说一样，冰原狼对于斯塔克家族一样重要，尽管不是魔法，但也是空想出来的，就像是很多粉丝对于宠物的热爱一样，冰原狼就像是斯塔克的孩子一样。不管他们长得有多大，我们都会把他们当做是第一集被救出来的小宝宝们。

　　“Robb把他的冰原狼叫做灰风，因为跑得太快了。Sansa 把她的叫做女士，Arya 把她的叫做歌谣里的巫师女王，小Rickon 把他的叫做长毛狗”乔治老爷子让名字来说叙述斯塔克家族的每个人，特别是Bran，一直在纠结他的叫什么，直到冰原狼把他从刺客手下救了下来。夏末这个名字不仅代表了他的悲伤，还有最后他乐观的行为方式，就像是一个救世主来对抗即将来劲的寒冬。

　　Our long wait is (almost) over. A year after the Season 5 finale that launched a thousand fan theories, Game of Thrones is preparing to enter new territory in its sixth season, which debuts Sunday, April 24 on HBO. For the first time in its history, the series will venture completely off book, as the writers have lapped the release of author George R.R. Martin’s final two novels. So now, both readers and newbies will be on the same proverbial page when we return to Westeros, Dorne, and points beyond.

　　One of the biggest disappointments of Game of Thrones is the lack of direwolves. What dragons are to Daenerys Targaryen, direwolves are to the Starks. Though not technically magical, they are fantastical, and many fans have bonded with the animals — much like Stark children themselves. No matter how big they grow, we’ll always think of them as the puppies rescued from their dead mother in the first episode.

　　“Robb was calling his Grey Wind, because he ran so fast. Sansa had named hers Lady, and Arya named hers after some old witch queen in the songs, and little Rickon called his Shaggydog.” George R.R. Martin let the names speak to the character of each of the Starks, especially Bran, who had trouble naming his wolf until it saved him from an assassin. The name Summer reflects both his sad, yet ultimately optimistic demeanor as well as the idea of a savior who stands against the coming winter.
