How can there not be a date yet?

The bizarre part to me is the announcement of a June date for that theatrical screening of the season premiere long before anything else.
 
Yes, at this point by not revealing a date they're fucking the dog,

Is this a new figurative expression I'm not familiar with?

As for not having a date, I'm surprised they haven't given a date yet either, but it is what it is. I still think it's sometime in August or late July. Probably use Comic Con to build hype.
 
Was going to ask the same thing.

Never understood the obsession with the dates. People still are going to stream it at their leisure.
Well for my part, the way I see it is I don't have access to any of the streaming services SNW is shown on, so the sooner its released on streaming, the sooner it'll be released on physical media.
 
Sadly, you can blame both litigation by an orange idiot as well as merger mayhem for this. It's so unsettled there at Paramount.

I think the promotion is slowly beginning, and the Tribeca premiere is a smart move, it gets covered more than a simple fan event.

No, I've been aware of the term for at least twenty years now. Also has the PG variation "screwing the pooch." Nu BSG even used "frak the daggit" in one of their scripts, though ultimately left out of the episode as none of the actors in the scenes could prevent uncontrollable laughter upon hearing the term which didn't work for what was meant to be a very dramatic scene.

"Merger Mayhem" has not prevented Paramount from setting premiere dates for other shows, renewing shows or continuing production on shows, as evidenced by the fact SNW S4 is currently filming. And they've made it known their plan to announce the premiere date for the NCIS Tony and Ziva spinoff during the broadcast of the OG NCIS season finale next week, so the merger clearly has nothing to do with why we don't know the premiere date for SNW.

The "orange idiot" you speak of has nothing to do with this matter at all making it completely unnecessary to bring him into this discussion. Unless you're citing the claim made by clickbait YouTubers that he has made it a personal mission to block SNW, which the rest of know is complete and utter horseshit.

Not a phrase used over here, I presume it is an Americanism?
Well, I'm Canadian, for whatever that's worth.
Context clues lead me to assume it means to mess up, quite badly specifically?
Indeed, though there is also another meaning that expresses laziness. IE, someone slacking off at their job might say "I'm just fucking the dog until my shift ends."
