Game Of Thrones Season 2 Episode 5We never skip the credits in my house, ever.  What I love most is that initial minor-to-major key change at the beginning.  Makes me so happy.  So, King's Landing, Pyke, Winterfell, The Wall (which I mostly just want to call "Sam" ), and Qarth.As utterly ridiculous as it may seem, we are halfway through the season of Game Of Thrones and so it seems time to take stock of where we are, who's dead, and who has a prayer of making it to the end of the season. Full Story

Game of Thrones Season 2 Episode 4 recapI'm starting to get the goosebumps, and not just because we're finally going to see the terror or bliss that is Harrenhal.  Things are moving, finally, although I could never have predicted where…Rainstorm.  Lannister soldiers debate who's going to win the war of kings, if only so they can insert a joke about how Loris Tyrrell has been “stabbing” Renly Baratheon without killing him, so how good a killer can he be?  Har de har. Full Story

Game Of Thrones Season 2 Episode 3 recapAre you having fun yet?  Specifically, those who got on the GOT bus in order to figure out what you were missing, or who binged on Season 1 in order to catch up in time for this?  Are you ready for Winter? Craster’s.  Snow is kicked out, but when he confesses what he saw Craster do, he’s horrified to find out that his Lord Commander already knew what was happening to the male babies in the clan: the boys are offerings. Full Story

Does it seem like Peter Dinklage gets papped the most out of all the cast members of Game Of Thrones? There are many reasons for it, and much of it has to do with geography, some of it awards, but obviously too it’s Tyrion’s popularity. Dowager Countess vs Tyrion Lannister, cut for cut... Who wins? Anyway, in case you missed it earlier this week, HBO has officially confirmed it: Game Of Thrones will be back for Season 3. Full Story

Game Of Thrones Season 2 Episode 2 recapHere is the thing about Game of Thrones: even when absolutely nothing happens, it's the most compelling show on TV.  I mean really, what more do you need but Tyrion and Cersei and Stannis Baratheon walking around making snarky proclamations that are going to be proven wrong every second minute?  How can you look away even when - especially when - all of this episode was conversations?  Oh, wait, you can't, because you are staring at the boobs this episode. Full Story

Game Of Thrones Season 2 Episode 1 recapI am so greedy with Game of Thrones.  Even though the show is the most popular and everything-bedecked in recent memory, I fear/hope we're only a few months away from a full-on theme park.  It still feels really special and personal, even if everyone feels the exact same way about Joffrey as I do. Full Story

No lie - I daydream about having a Dire Wolf (House Stark style) all the time. If I had a Dire Wolf, I would totally be a rapist catcher. Also my poker face would be much better. Nothing says confidence like rolling up to the party with one of nature’s most ruthless killers and then having it sleep at the foot of your bed every night. Full Story

Exclusive Kit Harington pap shots are rare. We must appreciate every opportunity.Here’s Kit Harington in Vancouver this weekend. He’s in town working on The Seventh Son starring Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore, and Ben Barnes with whom he’s been hanging out during off work hours. Am told Kit, as you’d expect, is really, really, really nice, and polite, and sweet, and unassuming. Full Story

WAR IS COMING.OK! Because I am ready!You must be ready too, right?On April 1st, Game of Thrones is back with Season 2. FINALLY.Which means, if you didn’t watch Season 1, you now have a month to catch up and join. People went apesh-t over this show. I went apesh-t over this show. Even Duana, and she doesn’t usually go apesh-t over shows that don’t involve high school, is apesh-t over this show. Full Story

HBO released a new teaser trailer for Season 2 of Game of Thrones yesterday just as select members of the cast were at the SAG Awards. I’m sorry there aren’t more photos. I’m sorry I couldn’t find any of Jason Momoa and Alfie Allen who were at the GoT table but who were not all that attractive to photographers. Full Story

Every time I watch this trailer, I get goose bumps at the sound of the 3 horn blasts at the end. The long wait is over. The cold winds are rising. Winter is coming...On April 1.FINALLY!Game Of Thrones Season 2, are you ready? How great is Game Of Thrones? So great that even Duana is obsessed. Not that Duana doesn’t love good tv, but this genre, it’s really not her thing. Full Story

Many of you have written for my thoughts on the season finale of Boardwalk Empire...If you’ve not yet seen the season 2 finale of Boardwalk Empire, you should stop reading now or risk a major, MAJOR spoiler. If you’ve not yet season the season 4 finale of Sons of Anarchy, you should stop reading now or risk a major, MAJOR spoiler. Full Story

I was sh-t yesterday for not being able to blog so much. So I’m making up for it by paying extra for these new photos of Kit Harington. Forgive? Here he is shooting Game of Thrones Season 2 in Iceland. ICELAND!!!Because, as you know, Winter Is Coming.(Next Spring)  Full Story

It breaks my heart a little at how adorably awkward Kit Harington looks in almost every photo from the Emmys last night. He seemed slightly more comfortable the day before at the BAFTA LA tea party in skinny khakis and a white shirt. I try not to spend too much time thinking about Game of Thrones. It’s maddening. Full Story
