Is There a Secret Hidden in Game of Thrones‘ Opening Credits?
If you think the Emmy-winning title sequence of Game of Thrones is simply a pretty recap of Westeros geography, think again. It is well-known by now that the locations featured in the opening credits change each week based upon what takes place in the following episode. But with Season 7 underway, some eagle-eyed viewers (with a h/t to Buzzfeed for finding them) have noticed some landscape changes that could have big implications for show.
How Emmy Nominated Queen Sugar and 13th DP Kira Kelly is Breaking the Mold
It was a no brainer for cinematographer Kira Kelly to take the call when director Ava DuVernay sought her out. The project they initially discussed didn’t pan out, but Kelly was soon tapped for DuVernay’s stirring documentary 13th. Kelly’s mesmerizing work was the perfect fit for the high pressure interviewees she filmed and earned her an Emmy nomination alongside her co-DP Hans Charles. Following the success of 13th, DuVernay brought Kelly on to season two of her hit show Queen Sugar.

Comic-Con 2017: Watch Westworld‘s Intense Season two Trailer
Opening with the world’s most symbolic player piano, the Westworld season two trailer that debuted at Comic-Con this past weekend is a glorious melange of intriguing stand-alone images that upend a lot of what you might have expected.

Comic-Con 2017: Seth MacFarlane Debuts his new Show The Orville
Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy) is adding to his TV Empire with new show The ORVILLE. The trailer for the new sci-fi comedy made its debut at Comic-Con. The trailer looks like the new show is going to provide the same humor that people have come to expect from MacFarlane.
The new show will star MacFarlane as the Captain of the Orville, Ed Mercer, along with Adrianne Palicki (Friday Night Lights) who will play Mercer’s ex-wife.
Game of Thrones Recap: “Stormborn”
Well, Game of Thrones season seven has their first official villain (not counting Cersei, or the Night’s King, or the ice giant Wun Wun), and it’s Euron Greyjoy. Granted, in Westeros, “bad” is mostly relative, but when someone comes around who really likes killing, your Ramsay Boltons or your Mountains, you can credibly chalk them up in the villain category, and Euron Greyjoy is most certainly a villain. The second episode of the seventh episode,
Comic-Con 2017: FX Announces American Horror Story: Cult

New Game of Thrones “Stormborn” Images Hint at Questions of Trust
Game of Thrones‘ season 7 premiere, “Dragonstone,” set the table in a major way. It gave us Arya’s quest towards King’s Landing, stopping off at House Frey to put an end to Walder Frey’s entire lineage. It supplied some major tension within King’s Landing between Cersei and Jaime, as well as some tart repartee between Jon Snow and Sansa in Winterfell over how best to prepare for the coming war.
Game of Thrones Showrunners’ Next Series at HBO is Confederate
While we prepare for the end of Game of Thrones, we’ve braced ourselves with the comforting news that there are up to four potential Game of Thrones spinoffs/prequels being written. This thought has been like a summer day in High Garden while we face down the dead of winter that is the show’s end.
While GOT may likely live on in some version, what we’ve also known is that series’ showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff are likely going to move on from any day-to-day decision making with whatever GOT-related shows come next.
Game of Thrones Season 7 Premiere was Shown in a Moscow Subway Station
Russia has a bit of a recent tortured history with Game of Thrones. On the one hand, clearly people love the show over there. How do we know? Some 350 Muscovites showed up at the Mayakovskaya subway station in central Moscow to watch the premiere, the metro press service reported. It’s part of the city’s Night in Moscow’s Metro cultural project, with several events each year. Amediateka, Game of Thrones’ distributor in Russia,
Ed Sheeran Cameo Continues Game of Thrones History of Incorporating Real Life Musicians Into the Show
The radio isn’t the only place you’ll find Ed Sheeran these days, even as his song “Shape of You” continues to top charts and further establish itself as the song of summer. Sheeran found himself at the heart of another summer sensation when he appeared in the season 7 premiere of Game of Thrones last night. Sheeran, playing a Lannister soldier, shared the screen with fan-favorite Arya Stark (played by Maisie Williams,
Six Crucial Questions Raised by Game of Thrones‘ Season 7 Premiere
At long last, we are hurtling into the final episodes of Game of Thrones. Though fans could hardly expect answers to the heftier questions posed in Season 6 (and earlier seasons) to be answered in the first episode of Season 7, we were gifted with an intense look at the new world order that exists in the aftermath of the Season 6 finale. With new information, however, comes a hoard of new questions.
Jodie Whittaker Cast as the First Female Doctor Who
The 13th Doctor is in, and after 54 years and 12 previous iterations, your doctor is a woman. Broadchurch’s Jodie Whittaker will be stepping in for current Doctor Peter Capaldi after he leaves the show after this year’s Christmas special, giving Doctor Who a thrilling new reason to re-engage with the show next season.
BBC made the announcement yesterday, with this accompanying teaser of a hooded figure walking through a forest towards the TARDIS.
Game of Thrones Recap: Season Seven Premiere “Dragonstone”
When Game of Thrones season seven premiere began, we saw a familiar, craggy face staring at us; the raping, disgusting visage of Walder Frey. This was odd, considering the last time we saw this ripe lump of lechery, he was being crossed off Arya Stark’s revenge list with a knife across his throat, the youngest Stark smiling down at him, fulfilling the promise she made to herself that her face would be the last he’d ever see.
How Might Someone Kill Daenerys’ Dragons?
It has been a long and winding road – or rather flight – for Daenerys’ dragons since we saw them hatch in the finale of Game of Thrones’ first season. Powerful from the first, the dragons’ growth since then has only reinforced perceptions of Dany’s invincibility. Audiences have seen them wreak massive damage with only a single burst of flame. As Dany draws steadily nearer her goal of conquering Westeros,
Intriguing Game of Thrones Fan Theories to Digest Before Sunday’s Season 7 Premiere
What exactly do Game of Thrones fans do during the notoriously long waits between seasons? If the overwhelming number of ideas on the internet right now is any indication, they spend ample time rereading the books and developing theories. With the show returning this weekend, fans might just see some of these theories become fact.
Though never a likable character, Cersei’s use of wildfire to massacre hundreds at the Sept of Baelor in last season’s finale left her with more enemies than ever.
Your Game of Thrones Season Seven Primer
It’s not always easy (okay it’s hard) keeping track of where we left off in Game of Thrones when a new season premieres. A LOT happens on this show, and with how sprawling Westeros is, and how many families, factions and rogue elements are vying for power, it helps to have a guide remind you of where you’ve been and what you’ve seen.

What do These Photos From Game of Thrones Season Seven Premiere Tell us?
With Game of Thrones' season seven premiere now just a few days away, HBO has dropped a few photos from the episode to give viewers a taste (and to likely throw us off the scent) of what’s to come. You won't be seeing any more trailers or new photos until Sunday night's premiere, which is titled “Dragonstone.”
The images include everyone's favorite diminutive bad ass, Lyanna Mormont, no doubt speaking up and speaking her mind,
Check out the First Trailer for Amazon’s Superhero Comedy The Tick
There are plenty of serious superhero shows on TV (Marvel’s got a whole slate of them on Netflix, for example), so perhaps what the world needs now is a Deadpool-like superhero on TV, one who doesn’t take himself, or the superhero world, too seriously. With that in mind, we present you with the first trailer for Amazon’s The Tick.
The conceit is fun; what if the super strong,
Watch Kit Harington’s Surprising Game Of Thrones Audition Tape
While you know that Kit Harington eventually landed the plum role of Jon Snow on HBO’s Game of Thrones, you likely weren’t aware that Harington actually auditioned for several different parts. For the first time, thanks to showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss, you can now watch those screen tests. They shared them with Jimmy Kimmel, so you can be assured these are real, and not an elaborate, hilarious skit.
