"“I wrote to Dan and David and I said I thought they were the best seven episodes they’ve ever written. The story is going toward a conclusion. There’s no sense of treading water. You have storylines colliding. And the evolving drama and relationships are as good as they have ever been. It definitely feels like the beginning of the end game.”"
As for Glen’s character things aren’t going to be easy for the wayward knight when Game of Thrones returns July 16.
We last saw Jorah when he revealing his deadly greyscale infection to Daenerys who then commanded him to find a cure for the sickness and someday return to her. While Glen says that season seven, “is all about whether he will survive this horrendous sickness he’s contracted.” He thinks there’s still some tension between Jorah and Dany even after their emotional departure last season.

"“My feeling is Jorah would die a happy man if he could get forgiveness from Daenerys. He’s been in that mental territory half his life. He’s always been willing to sacrifices his life for her. His loss of life is not as big for him as seeking her redemption.”"
We hope that Jorah will find some sort of happy ending as Game of Thrones starts to head towards the enviable end, but we also hope he finds himself as well as the greyscale cure. We know you love her, but Dany isn’t the only girl in Westeros Jorah!
