With only 13 episodes left until Game of Thronesleaves our screens forever (or at least until the spinoffs arrive),Watch Erotica Manila Episode 4 you can't blame us for wanting to savor every bloody minute in Westeros we have left.
Which is why everyone is currently freaking out over the Telegraph's eagle-eyed observation that the Season 7 premiere will be 59 minutes in length, at least according to a listing on HBO's online schedule.
Because this is 2017 on the internet, the headline is unabashedly hyperbolic -- while 59 minutes is on the longer end of the scale for a season opener, it's not the show's longest premiere ever. Thrones' very first episode is still its lengthiest season premiere -- clocking in at 62 minutes, according to HBO's listings -- while the Season 4 premiere, "Two Swords," is also listed at 59 minutes.

In previous seasons, episode lengths have varied from 50 minutes to almost 70, averaging around 55.
There's some evidence to support the idea that we might get more supersized episodes in Season 7. As WinterIsComing.net pointed out a few months ago, some cast members have hinted that despite Season 7 being shorter than previous seasons, they still filmed for the same length of time that production usually takes to film 10 episodes, with Maisie Williams noting, "We only have seven episodes this time. But we’re shooting for just as long, so there’s just as much content."
Does that really mean the producers have 10 episodes' worth of material to cram into only seven installments? Unlikely -- perhaps the production is simply more complicated because of the epic battle scenes that were teased in the Season 7 trailer, which promise to be every bit as elaborate as the show's previous skirmishes in "Battle of the Bastards" and "Hardhome."
SEE ALSO: These 'Game of Thrones' battle scenes could offer a huge clue about Season 7But it's a safe bet that the Season 7 finale will be the longest of the season -- every finale since the Season 1 closer (which was a svelte 53 minutes) has been over an hour long, with the most recent Season 6 finale, "Winds of Winter," standing as the show's longest episode to date at 68 minutes, closely followed by the Season 4 finale, "The Children" (66 minutes).
And a lot of shows have been utilizing supersized episodes of late -- AMC's The Walking Dead regularly pushed past its hourlong timeslot for extended episodes in Season 7, as did FX's Legionduring its freshman run. On basic and premium cable networks when primetime shows don't have to throw to local newscasts airing at 11, there's more flexibility for showrunners to experiment with longer run times.

Usually, TV fans aren't too concerned with an episode's length, but when it comes to Game of Thrones, which encourages obsessive speculation into the vague reflections that can be glimpsed in a White Walker's eye and mathematical equations about a dragon's wingspan, every second counts.
