Hands down, “High Sparrow” is the strongest episode Game of Thrones has had since way back in season three. So many strong character moments, excellent plot movement, and a major storyline twist even book readers didn’t see coming (mostly because Sansa is far beyond her book character, but still). I was completely engrossed throughout the […]
Well, so far this season, Game of Thrones is two for two. “The House of Black and White” was another excellent hour of television, avoiding the common Thrones pitfalls and delivering balanced storytelling that moved the season’s various plots along at a swift pace. And, perhaps most interesting of all, this episode made it clear […]
I’ll admit I wasn’t completely sold on season four of Game of Thrones. It was, by far, the most uneven season to date. A lot of that had to do with the amount of moving around central characters did throughout the season. And it certainly wasn’t easy following season three, which was a truly remarkable […]
Game of Thrones is to come back on air on Monday with its fifth season. Based on George R. R. Martin’s novels, the TV series has become one of HBO’s biggest hits, earning critical praise, numerous awards and growing viewership with each season, as well as earning the distinction of being the most pirated TV […]
Poor HBO. They just can’t catch a break where Game of Thrones is concerned. Not only is the series the most pirated show in the world (which was one of the key reasons the network created its stand alone streaming system, HBONow), but now the first four episodes from the highly anticipated fifth season have […]
Set to David Bowie’s “Heroes” the fifth season trailer for Game of Thrones gives us an exciting look into the upcoming season. The fourth season left us with many of our characters in transition, moving towards new and unexpected areas: Arya heads for Braavos, Tyrion is smuggled into a ship, Sansa is off with Little […]
TellTale Games recently showed off the latest with Tales from the Borderlands and today it is now Game of Thrones’ turn. Announced around this time last year at the VGX Awards, Game of Thrones episodes are based on the HBO TV show as you’ll see familiar characters played by the same actors. The teaser trailer […]
The principle actors of Game of Thrones have extended their contracts with HBO for seven seasons. Though the series was renewed back in April for two additional seasons, taking the show to a sixth season, the actors are locked down for a very likely and potential season seven. With this extension comes an impressive pay […]
Is it 2015 already? We don’t know how we are going to survive the wait for the return of Game of Thrones into our lives. Why, HBO? Why do you make us suffer? Granted, it is likely that we’ll be able to fill the void with an array of television goodies in good time, but […]
After taking a stumble with last week’s weak battle for the Wall, Game of Thrones returns with a balanced and excellent season finale that sets up a number of interesting mysteries for season five, completely changing the entire trajectory of the series in the process. On its surface, “The Children” may seem like an average […]
