TV Ratings: Ryan Lochte Premiere Sinks on E!, 'Mad Men' Tumble Continues

What Would Ryan Lochte Do? As it so happens, not many people cared enough to find out.

The E! reality series scored a paltry 807,000 viewers during its first outing at 10 p.m. Sunday, according to Nielsen. The heavily promoted vehicle for the Olympic swimmer did see a sizable chunk of its audience in the targeted adults 18-to-49 demographic with 528,000 viewers, but that still only cranks out to a 0.4 rating.

'Game of Thrones' Showrunners Talk About the Third Season's First 'Epic' Moment

As viewers might have been able to glean from the preview, the next episode of Game of Thrones includes one of the biggest scenes from the books that the HBO series has tackled to date.

"And Now His Watch Is Ended" might not approach the level of season two's "Blackwater" in its non-stop tension, but it comes with some big payoff for fans familiar with the turning point -- and for those completely in the dark.

'Game of Thrones' Recap: Jaime and Brienne's Journey Gets Interesting

[Spoilers ahead for Sundays Episode of Game of Thrones, "Dark Wings, Dark Words"]

Jaime and Brienne finally crossed swords on their long journey to King’s Landing.

Game of Thrones is populated with great fighters, but with them flung across the Seven Kingdoms and beyond we don’t often see them go head to head Avengers-style, so it was a treat when the Kingslayer (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and the Maid of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) went at it.

'Game of Thrones' Showrunners on What to Expect After the Premiere

Game of Thrones' season three premiere packed quite a bit into 50-some minutes, but that runtime did not include anything of Arya (Maisie Williams), Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) or Jamie (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Brienne (Gwendoline Christie).

Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss feel the pressure to include the vast ensemble in one episode -- while they still can't oblige all of their characters all of the time, they're getting there.

There's been growing concern among fans of HBO's Game of Thrones and its source material, George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels, that the series is catching up to books before they're written. Most recently it was suggested that showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss, privy to Martin's overall plan for the story, eventually might wrap the series before the planned seventh and final book.
