Four people have been arrested in connection with the leak of S07E04 of Game of Thrones:

An India-based media technology company said Wednesday that it regrets the recent leak of an episode of the popular HBO series Game of Thrones by four of its current and former employees.

Indian police have detained the four suspects, but said their motive for leaking the episode titled The Spoils of War was unclear. The fourth episode in the television series' seventh season leaked three days before its planned Aug. 6 air date and quickly circulated online.

And now, here comes S07E06:

HBO in Spain has aired, apparently by mistake, the sixth episode of Games of Thrones' seventh season a week ahead of schedule.

The episode was available to Spanish subscribers early Tuesday for about an hour before being removed. The 71-minute episode is due to be officially available Aug. 21.

    DuckTales 2017 reboot. My childhood is ruined.

    I didn't like the new art style (it looks cold and manga-inspired; just compare to old show where there was vibrant colors and more soft shapes) nor, most of, the character changes. Mrs. Beakley appears to be some kind of steroid-infused-athlete that escaped the USSR. Huey, Louie and Dewey getting separate "personalities" is the biggest travesty ever, it's like they never read anything Barks or Rosa ever created. Giving Webby a bigger part was ok and having Tennant give voice to Scrooge was pretty good to.

    Leaking GOT-episodes, it seems to happen so often now I'm starting to believe it's on purpose to increase the hype. Personally I can wait until Sunday or whenever I'll have time to watch it.

    manga-inspired

    It most certainly does not look like that. If that was their intent, then they failed.

    I never find time to watch Game of Thrones. I spend all day Sunday wondering what's on The Strain tonight. Make a GoT/Strain crossover spinoff starring Quinlan and I'll watch it.

      I'd prioritize watching The Strain over GOT to, while Quinlan is an interesting character I'm mostly watching it to find out what Eichhorst will do next.
