After much ado about the upcoming seventh season of Game of Thrones being delayed for weather-related reasons, HBO announced today that its fantasy epic will officially begin production at the end of the summer with a premiere date set for the summer of 2017. The seven-episode season will shoot primarily at the production home base […]
Game of Thrones show runners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss have announced that HBO’s smash hit drama will launch its seventh season a bit later than its usual late spring start thanks, in part, to weather issues. It seems the arrival of Winter to Westeros means that the series cannot begin its filming during […]
Nothing that happened in Game of Thrones‘s sixth season finale, “The Winds of Winter,” was particularly shocking. In fact, the episode’s most prominent moment had been predicted by fans for a number of weeks. But that was perfectly fine, as the episode offered a number of strong character moments and set things up for next […]
Well, that was pretty damn underwhelming. After teasing the clash between everyone’s favorite and least favorite bastards for several weeks, we were given a fight that was so incredibly telegraphed that I could have sworn I had seen it before. Oh yeah, I did. Only it was Gandalf riding in to save the day, not […]
HBO’s mammoth hit Game of Thrones will have an extra long season six finale, according to Variety. The most recent season of Game of Thrones has featured characters coming back to life, meaningful character deaths, favorite characters in peril, and some surprising returns. To get viewers even more excited for the finale, HBO announced that the […]
As I said last week, I’m perfectly fine with Game of Thrones taking its time to set the chess board for the season’s final major moments. Three episodes of it is a bit much, but I would have been willing to let this slide had there been enough interesting character beats to justify the lack […]
“The Broken Man” continued last week’s rising action exposition dump, but once again managed to do so in an interesting and engaging manner. While the return of the Hound was almost as poorly a kept secret as Jon’s return from the dead, seeing him and a few new faces this week kept Game of Thrones‘s […]
I’ll say this for season six of Game of Thrones: things are absolutely racing by at a fast clip after a few seasons of dallying. Perhaps it’s a case of the showrunners finally realizing they are running out of time to tell the entire story, or maybe the arcs have simply been pared down to […]
HOLD THE DOOR! Poor Hodor. Loyal to the end. But that was a hell of a way to go, no? Throughout the last few weeks, I’ve read several theories positing that Bran was going to be somehow responsible for Hodor’s hodor-ness, which I agreed with, but I certainly didn’t think the writers would let us […]
After three weeks of slogging through exposition (which, on a show as sprawling as Game of Thrones, is only to be expected), “Book of the Stranger” finally kicked a number of storylines into high gear. And not a moment too soon, as there are only six episodes remaining in the season and something of substance […]
