If it felt like everyone and their mother (of dragons) was watching Game of Thrones on Sunday night, it's because they were. 

According to HBO, a staggering 17.4 million viewers across cable, HBO Go, and HBO Now tuned into the Game of Thrones: Season 8 premiere on Sunday — surpassing Thrones' previous ratings record from the finale of Season 7, which brought in 16.9 million viewers in July 2017.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
