Let’s Talk About Tonight’s Long-Awaited Return of Game of Thrones

After more than a year, Game of Thrones has made its very welcome return. It was a reasonably quiet episode, by which I mean at least 50 people were still murdered, but we need to breakdown what the premiere has promised is yet to come. The cracks in Jon and Sansa’s relationship have already begun…

Twitter Has Some Advice for Avoiding Game of Thrones Spoilers

Game of Thrones’ latest season premiers tonight on HBO and you know what that means. HBO Go will crash, you won’t get to watch it tonight, and your Twitter feed will just be pictures of Cersei that are captioned “RIP.” Twitter has offered a reminder about its mute function as well some key terms to…

Will Cersei Lannister Survive Game of Thrones?

When Game of Thrones returns this Sunday, Cersei Lannister will be ruling Westeros from her ill-gotten place on the Iron Throne. But with well-armed enemies closing in, and that damn prophecy hanging over her head, Cersei’s chances of survival—much less a long reign—aren’t looking too good.

The 15 Best Food Descriptions in A Song of Ice and Fire

Based on the approximately four hundred hours of Next Food Network Star that I have seen, I gather that it’s hard to properly describe food to someone who can’t actually taste it. This apparently isn’t a problem for George R.R. Martin, who inserts long and varied food descriptions everywhere in A Song of Ice and…

What Would It Take to Kill Daenerys’ Dragons?

When Daenerys hatched three dragons from what seemed to be petrified eggs during the finale of Game of Thrones’ first season, the balance of power between the contenders for the Iron Throne began to shift. Thanks to her ever-growing, ever-more powerful “children,” Daenerys has transformed from one of the show’s underdogs to arguably its most…

HBO Is Working on Game of Thrones Prequels, But Robert’s Rebellion Probably Isn’t One of Them

The end of Game of Thrones is in sight, with just 13 episodes remaining in the groundbreaking fantasy series. So, it wasn’t much of a surprise when HBO announced it was looking at four (or five) possible spin-offs, which are all prequels to the original show. However, anyone eager for Robert’s Rebellion is probably going…

A Complete Guide to the Religions of Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones is an incredibly dense show, filled with hundreds of characters, families, legends, and everything else under the realm’s sun. With all the information fans have had to absorb over the years, it’s easy for some things to fall on the wayside. That includes the show’s plethora of religions. As season 7 promises…

This is not an exaggeration. These are not the whining words of a nerd who hated the year-plus wait between seasons six and seven of Game of Thrones. I have literally waited 20 years for Daenerys to get her Targaryen ass to Westeros and for the final battles of George R.R. Martin’s epic fantasy to…

Gemma Whelan Almost Got Fired For Announcing Her Game of Thrones Role

Game of Thrones’ air of secrecy has always been a little ludicrous, from actors barely being able to say anything in press interviews to HBO’s traditionally nebulous episode synopses. It’s gotten crazier in the wake of leaked episodes the past few seasons, but it’s always been a serious affair—to the point it almost cost one…

This Game of Thrones KFC Commercial Has a Twist Even More Shocking Than Hodor’s Death

In Game of Thrones’ sixth season, Hodor (Kristian Nairn) died much in the same way he lived: being helpful, overworked, and generally misunderstood by the people around him. Even by Game of Thrones standards, Hodor’s fate was a sad one, but not nearly as dark as this Hodor-themed KFC commercial. On the show, Hodor dies…
