Last Resort answers our most important question of all

People who watch television shows often clamor for answers nowadays. And television shows play to this, spinning out endless mysteries — for example, Last Resort wants us to obsess over who sent the fire order, and why the Secretary of Defense was replaced, and just what are those minerals on the island. But usually, the…

The 10 Most Defining Performances in the History of Genre Television

These days, we take it for granted that television can be as good as movies (or live theater) and that great actors can deliver indelible performances on the small screen.

Long before George R.R. Martin wrote the groundbreaking novel A Game of Thrones, he was the showrunner on the classic 1980s-1990s Beauty and the Beast TV show, with Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton.

Game of Thrones is in the middle of filming its third season, which airs starting March 31. So it’s a great time to ponder: how much of George R.R. Martin’s A Storm of Swords will the show include? The show’s already taken some liberties with the first two A Song of Ice and Fire novels…

Filming for season three of Game of Thrones is well underway, and apparently the Croatia filming is almost over. The latest set photos hint at a scene that isn’t in George R.R.

Last Resort is asking the same question as Game of Thrones: Where does power come from?

I’m still enjoying the heck out of Last Resort, the show about a submarine docked on a small island after a nuclear holocaust. And it’s becoming even clearer that this show at least aims to address the same core question as George R.R. Martin goes into in his Song of Ice and Fire books and…

Florida State University’s marching band recently blasted away the competition (and the television announcers) with a triumphant interpretation of the Game of Thrones theme.
