《权力的游戏》目前正在空歇期。粉丝们已经为两季间的漫长等待做好了准备。而且这次的等待时间可能比以往要更久，虽然目前官方仍未公布正式回归日期，但是剧集负责人David Benioff和D.B. Weiss在一个播客节目中说集数缩短了的第七季的开播时间或许会比往年更晚。

据Hitfix报道，Weiss和Benioff在UFC的播客中接受了关于权力的游戏第七季的采访。虽然集数被缩短了，但制作的时间也比以往稍有推迟。这也就意味着第七季的开播时间也会更晚。

“我们目前还没有确定开播时间”Benioff和Weiss解释道。“我们因为本季最后一集'Winter is here'的拍摄使下一季开始制作的时间延后了一点。晴朗的天气不再对我们有利。这也使我们将所有事都延后了一点，这样即使在晴朗一些的地方拍摄，我们也能创造出阴霾的天气”

《权力的游戏》通常都是在四月末或是五月初夏季开始的时候开拍，这次时间的变化意味着播出时间将延后至少几个月，甚至可能延后到秋天。

但这很刺激，因为凛冬正好即将到达维斯特洛。如果制作延后，像多恩或是君临这样温暖一些的地方将也会有寒冬的感觉，白鬼的终极威胁也将表现地更完美。

而我们也不是唯一一家对第七季进行预测的媒体。娱乐周刊采访了一些人们喜爱的角色的扮演者对第七季的期待。

扮演二丫的Maisie Williams谈到了自己的角色，“我希望她能成为独行侠一样的角色。像猎狗一样。我反倒不希望她和家人们团聚，因为大家都变了，而她自己也不是原来的那个她了。她自己一个人或许会更好。我希望她能继续活下去，做自己的主人。”

Williams同时也预测瑟曦将会是二丫的第一个复仇对象。令人意外的是，扮演瑟曦的Lena Headey也认为二丫的复仇将马上到来。她说她希望二丫将会是杀死瑟曦的人，同时她也能够接受提利昂成为那个杀死瑟曦的人。重点在于Headey认为瑟曦活不长了。

扮演Davos Seaworth的 Liam Cunnigham 则希望他的角色能继续幸存下来。“我不想遭人暗算”他说，“我不希望他被野火炸死。我不希望他被毒死。我希望他去开一家花店，店里有秋海棠，郁金香什么的，和多恩的一个美丽女子成立一个家庭，天天喝点小酒什么的。”

你是怎么认为的呢？这些演员的预言会实现吗？你认为之后的剧情会发生什么呢？瑟曦是否能活到剧集的结尾呢？你是否为下一季的推迟感到失望或是认为些许推迟会换来更好的效果呢？

Game of Thrones is currently on hiatus. Fans are already preparing for the long break between seasons. It looks like they are going to have wait a little bit longer than usual for the show to return, however. There's been no formal date yet announced. However, on a podcast, Game of Thrones' showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have announced that the apparent penultimate and shortened season 7 will air a little bit later than usual.

Hitfix reports that in UFC Unfiltered podcast Weiss and Benioff were interviewed about Game of Thrones season 7. Though the episode order will be shorter, production has been pushed back later than usual. This will mean a delay in the airing of the episodes.

"We don't have an air date yet," Benioff and Weiss explained. "We're starting a bit later because at the end of this season, 'Winter is here' -- and that means that sunny weather doesn't really serve our purposes any more. So we kind of pushed everything down the line, so we could get some grim, grey weather even in the sunnier places that we shoot."

Game of Thrones has typically started at the end of April or early May, running into the middle of the summer. This scheduling change suggests that the show might be at least a couple months later than usual, probably running into the fall.

It is exciting, though, that the show really won't be dragging it's feet with winter coming to Westeros. If Game of Thrones needs to delay production so even its sunniest locations like Dorne and King's Landing look a little bit wintery, it should mean that the ultimate threat of the White Walkers will be even more keenly felt in season 7.

We aren't the only ones theorizing on season 7 though. Entertainment Weekly caught up with a few of the people behind some beloved Game of Thrones characters and asked them what they'd like to see happen in season 7.

Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark, said of her character, "I'd love for her to be a bit of a lone ranger. I'd love for her to be kind of like The Hound. I don't really want her to reunite with her family because I don't think that they're the same people anymore or that she's the same person anymore. I think she's better off on her own. I'd love for her to be alive, actually, and be her own boss."

Williams also lists Cersei as the character who she believes is at the top of Arya's kill list. Surprisingly, though, Lena Headey, who plays Cersei, is down with Arya's mission of revenge too. She says she'd love Cersei to have a "great death by Arya," though Headey would also accept Tyrion being the one to do the deed. Point is, Headey does not see Cersei surviving the series.

As for Liam Cunnigham, who plays Davos Seaworth, he is just hoping his character manages to make it out alive. "I don't want a knife in the back," Cunningham said, talking about Davos. "I don't [want] him blown up with wildfire. I don't want to be poisoned. I think perhaps he would open a little flower shop somewhere, some begonias, tulips, and settle down with a lot of attractive women from Dorne, with lots of Dornish wine."

But what do you think? Will any of these actors/characters get their wishes? What do you see happening in season 7 and beyond? Do you think Cersei has any shot of living to the end of the series? Are you disappointed that the season will be delayed or do you think the delay will pay off?
