Game of Thrones Game of Thrones Winning Odds: Let’s talk about the winner SPOILERS Before the final season of Game of Thrones started, I handicapped the odds of the remaining major players winning the Iron Throne.

Game of Thrones Game of Thrones: The Saga of House Stark GET OUT OF HERE! THERE ARE MAJOR SPOILERS We’ll argue about this ending forever, but after the last three weeks, as Game of Thrones descended in a seeming death spiral, it’s a relief that the finale episode works as well as it does—and it DOES work.

Game of Thrones Intro for May 20, 2019 Dear Gossips, SPOILERS AHEAD There have been several series this year that have stuck their landings: Crazy Rich Girlfriend and Broad City first, then Veep last weekend. Did Game of Thrones stick the landing? Did it have to? Maybe the better question is what they thought a stuck landing looked By Lainey • May 20, 2019 09:59 am
Game of Thrones Queen of the Ashes HBO has only released two promotional photos from the final episode of the series. One of them is of a grim looking Tyrion, obviously traumatised af from what he’s just seen. Understandable. I hope in the episode we’ll also see him looking embarrassed, or at least a little By Lainey • May 15, 2019 04:05 pm
Game of Thrones Game of Thrones: Burn them all SPOILERS At this point, I think we’ve accepted that no one is really going to be happy with how this ends. I don’t think this is what ANYONE wanted out of the final season of Game of Thrones. Have there been some great moments? Yes. The first two By Sarah • May 13, 2019 08:52 am
Game of Thrones Intro for May 13, 2019 Dear Gossips, If you can’t please everyone, who do you choose to please? That was the task for the showrunners of Game of Thrones – and after last night’s episode, “The Bells”, the answer, apparently, is The Spectacle. You indulge The Spectacle. In that sense, Game of Thrones, to By Lainey • May 13, 2019 08:27 am
Music Taylor Swift + Game of Thrones Taylor Swift covers the new issue of Entertainment Weekly. This is basically a takeover. Taylor is a huge get for EW. They’ve dedicated several features in addition to the cover story to Swift content. And it’s a proper magazine interview – not an essay she’s written about herself, By Lainey • May 10, 2019 11:12 am
Game of Thrones Intro for May 8, 2019 Dear Gossips, If you’ve not yet seen the latest episode of Game of Thrones, SPOILER ALERT. I need to talk about Ghost. Last chance. Ready? David Nutter, who directed the episode, has explained why Jon said goodbye to Ghost the way he did. Or DIDN’T: Director David Nutter By Lainey • May 08, 2019 08:32 am
Game of Thrones Game of Thrones: Imagine better for the women SPOILERS ALWAYS SPOILER ALERT LAST CHANCE TO GO BEFORE SPOILERS THE SPOILERS ARE COMING Here is my three-prong approach to this episode. 1) Bad Pet Ownership The animals of Westeros deserve better! Poor Ghost shows up at the mass funeral and has half his ear bitten off and NO ONE By Sarah • May 06, 2019 08:54 am
Game of Thrones Intro for May 6, 2019 Dear Gossips, As of post time, we are still awaiting the birth of Baby Sussex. Not yet born and already this royal child is a celebrity with celebrity tendencies: celebrities never show up on time. Celebrities exist to make us wait. They are, also, skilled in the art of cockblocking. By Lainey • May 06, 2019 08:27 am
Game of Thrones Show Your Work: Dark GoT, Chaos Walking, and Sandra Oh The Game of Thrones is full of terrors – only you can’t see them because “The Long Night” was so dark. I’m sure you’ve heard the complaints about how the episode was lit and here’s the article that Duana and I are referring to during our discussion By Lainey • May 01, 2019 01:30 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews No, Arya is not a Mary Sue SPOILERS There are some words that let a person know exactly who you are. Use them and you’re telling on yourself. Recently this list of words has grown to include the language of the diaper babies. “Soyboy”, “cuck”, “SJW”, these are terms that announce to the world you wear By Sarah • Apr 30, 2019 03:58 pm
Game of Thrones Game of Thrones: That’s it? SPOILERS I’m not ragging on the Battle of Winterfell as an event. As a Thing That Happens, it has a lot of terrific moments. It’s an incredibly nerve-wracking, tense eighty minutes of television. It’s an all-out zombie attack that stands up to anything on The Walking Dead By Sarah • Apr 29, 2019 08:47 am
Game of Thrones Intro for April 29, 2019 Dear Gossips, If you’ve been reading this site for a while, at least since HBO first introduced Game of Thrones, you know my view on the whole “Winter is Coming” thing – it was never my favourite part of the series. As I wrote back in 2017 during Season 7, By Lainey • Apr 29, 2019 08:22 am
Game of Thrones The Battle of Winterfell: three more sleeps I like what’s been happening the last couple of weeks. I like that we have to wait between episodes of Game of Thrones, even though we’ve already waited so f-cking long, like over a year and a half, between seasons. Because it’s probably not going to happen By Lainey • Apr 25, 2019 10:12 am
Assy Style Taylor & the Khaleesi Have you noticed that while everyone on Game of Thrones calls Daenerys “Your Grace” except for f-cking Jorah Mormont who’s still going around calling her “Khaleesi”? (Even Jon Snow, in public, calls her “Your Grace”.) I don’t know the official reason for it but my read is that By Lainey • Apr 24, 2019 12:07 pm
