Tormund… Beric… you OK? We did catch a quick glimpse of our favorite red headed Wildling and Second Favorite resurrected Brother Without A Banner running from the top of the wall as the new and not improved Viserion,
Emmy-Nominated VFX Designer on Creating Terrible Worlds in The Man in the High Castle
Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle portrays a comprehensive and convincing alternate reality in which the Nazi Reich was victorious in World War II. It’s a disturbing world that fortunately never was, but the show is a hearty visual feast that dives unrestrained into the terror. Visual effects supervisor Lawson Deming guided his team to build entire cityscapes outside Hitler’s window, reimagines where technology would lead in an America controlled by the Nazi Reich,
The Man in the High Castle‘s Emmy-Nominated Production Designer on Building a Nightmare America
Phillip K. Dick’s 1962 novel Man in the High Castle imagined the horrors of living in an America where the Allies were defeated in World War II. The series follows Juliana Crain (Alexa Davalos) who refuses to accept the terrible outcome and believes that things could be another way. Production Designer Drew Boughton has received two Emmy nominations for his harrowing interpretation of a world in which Nazi Germany has seized most of the United States while Imperial Japan controls the west coast.
Alliances Forged & Broken: Game of Thrones Finale’s Stunning Reversals, by the Photo
We went deep with our recap of Game of Thrones season 7 finale “The Dragon and the Wolf.” So much happened during the 81-minutes of action, the longest episode in the show’s history, that it required our longest recap by far. While we all wrap our heads around the finale’s many implications, we thought we’d do so via photograph—HBO has released a bunch of stills from the episode, and they speak to some of the show’s tensest moments,
Game of Thrones Finale Recap: “The Dragon and the Wolf”
It happened. You know what it was. It was the thing many fans have been waiting for, even after it was clearly going to be between an aunt and her nephew. Game of Thrones season 7 finale, “The Dragon and the Wolf,” was about many things, but the title makes clear that it was at the very heart of the proceedings. Jon Snow, who never really was a Snow (the surname given to northern bastards) and Daenerys Targaryen have become a thing.

Is Taylor Swift’s New Song About Arya Stark?
Is Taylor Swift’s new song “Look What You Made Me Do” about Game of Thrones‘ Arya Stark? You can give the song a listen here, and parse the lyrics for yourself.

Netflix Releases Black Mirror Season 4 Teaser, Cast & Episode Info
One of the most daring shows on television is returning for its fourth season, the techno-paranoia mind-blower Black Mirror. When we interviewed Black Mirror creator Charlie Booker and executive producer Annabel Jones, the latter told us that the series’ one-and-done approach (each episode is a stand-alone universe unto itself) was pure “lunacy,” but added that by doing each episode as a one-off 50-minute film, “we’re able to take an idea and blow it up within that one episode and not have to worry about creating an arc that sustains for multiple seasons…it’s very liberating.
We Talked to a Game of Thrones Loving Scientist About Dany’s Dragons
We’ve watched them grow before our eyes. Born unto fire, the dragons of Game of Thrones have remained at the center of the HBO series’s narrative over its seven-year run. And this Sunday’s finale will mean the beasts’s fans will have to say goodbye to their secret crushes, their CGI heartthrobs, until the 8th and final season returns in 2019.
Many will miss Daenerys’s fire-breathing reptiles, Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion, acutely.
New Game of Thrones Finale Images Tease Most Important Meeting in Show’s History

American Horror Story: Cult Trailer Shows Sarah Paulson Living Out a Real Life Nightmare
American Horror Story has been set across multiple eras in seasons past with flashbacks jumping as far back as the 1500s. This season, however, is completely of the moment, asking the question, are we already living our worst nightmare? The latest trailer shows AHS alum Sarah Paulson realizing her greatest fear that many American voters relate to in the election of President Trump. Fan favorite Evan Peters’ character, Kai, has a starkly different reaction as he wildly celebrates the news.
Game of Thrones Explainer: Here’s how They Created the Zombie Polar Bear (and More)
We’ve gone in depth on the big battle sequence (and everything else that happened in the episode) in our “Beyond the Wall” recap, and now HBO has released this behind-the-scenes featurette that details how the face-off between Jon and his merry band of brothers and the Night King and his army of the dead was created.

Viserion’s Uncertain Fate in Game of Thrones
Last night’s battle beyond the wall still has our heads spinning. Perhaps the most memorable moment though, came in the very last second of the very last scene…Spoilers ahead…
The Ice Dragon now lives. And many feelings (and many questions) were brought to the surface with it.
We always knew the mother of dragons would likely have to sacrifice at least one of them in her quest to take the Iron Throne.

Questions After Game of Thrones Epic “Beyond the Wall”
While we mourn Viseron and muster courage for the fight ahead, we’ve got plenty of questions after Game of Thrones epic penultimate episode “Beyond the Wall.” (You can read our recap here.)
What happens now that Jon’s finally bent the knee?
After weeks of demanding Jon bend the knee, all it took for Dany to get her wish was for Jon to see her swoop in atop Drogon and save his crew from certain death.
Emmy-nominated Casting Director on Finding the Kids of Stranger Things
Supernatural thriller Stranger Things co-creators Matt and Ross Duffer not only made the inspired choice to bring Winona Ryder out of semi-retirement to star as the show’s unhinged mother-in-crisis; they also assembled primetime’s most endearing ensemble of twelve-year olds to portray four adorable boys and one mesmerizing mystery girl. Emmy-nominated casting director Carmen Cuba, teamed with co-nominees Tara Feldstein Bennett and Chase Paris, looked at more than 1000 in-person and video auditions to find the kids of Stranger Things.
Game of Thrones Recap: “Beyond the Wall”
Tyrion Lannister has had his share of bad ideas throughout the run of Game of Thrones, and kidnapping a White Walker from beyond the wall to prove to Cersei who her true enemies are might be the absolute worst. The idea was so spectacularly ludicrous that it was dumber than his idea to send his niece Myrcella to Dorne for safekeeping (she was used as bait and eventually murdered), or trusting Littlefinger as a confidant while he was the Hand of the King to Joffrey (Littlefinger eventually framed Tyrion for murder),
How Destiny Called Gotham‘s Emmy-Nominated Sound Editor
Emmy season is in the air, and fan-favorite Gotham has certainly not disappointed, racking up three nominations this year alone.

Game of Thrones Episode 6 Images Show the Dream Team “Beyond the Wall”
We’re still holding our breath thanks to last week’s Game of Thrones episode cutting to credits as Jon Snow, The Hound, Thoros, Beric, Gendry, Jorah, and Tormund begin their journey to capture a Wight. The plan is not exactly the best one we’ve heard, but we’re cheering for this suicide squad despite the fear in their eyes. HBO recently released new images from the upcoming episode and it appears winter is,
