Poor Hodor got perhaps Game of Thrones’ least-deserved end, and one hopes his afterlife would be far more pleasant. Well, that afterlife is apparently a KFC, as a new commercial with Thrones alum Kristian Nairn memorably recalls the gentle giant’s tragic end.
In the Golden Age of television — or Peak TV, or “oh god, please stop, I have enough to watch already” — shows aren’t just more cinematic, they’re offering us more of everything. That includes more sex scenes, which have become increasingly prevalent, revealing, daring and yes, even artful, reinforcing the notion that TV has become more like film. We recently chose the 25 best movie sex scenes of the last 25 years, and with the smaller screen’s growing resemblance to its big screen brethren, we thought it only right to do the same for television. We also assumed that making a list of the 25 best TV sex scenes of the last 20 years would be far easier and much less surprising. Spoiler alert: We were wrong.
Just under a month from its premiere, Game of Thrones blessed us with a second Season 7 trailer, placing the Night King front and center for the Great War to come. Just like last time, we couldn’t help diving deeper into every frame of footage.
We’ve finally passed the one-month mark for Game of Thrones Season 7, so it’s high-time we had a new trailer. The Night King shows his ugly mug once again, as all-out dragon warfare erupts in the new Season 7 trailer and posters!
Game of Thrones is never without at least one insufferable cad in a position of usurped authority, so who might fill the void left by Ramsay Bolton? According to star Pilou Asbæk, we might come to hate Euron Greyjoy in Season 7 even more-so than Ramsay or Joffrey.
Were you born in Game of Thrones’ Westeros, chances are you will not survive to a ripe old age. That doesn’t keep the cast of HBO’s fantasy epic from dreaming, however, as an impressive new parody strings together Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” with the entire crew.
For as long as Game of Thrones has existed, its Song of Ice and Fire title has inspired hope of a meeting between Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen. We may get our wish in Season 7, but Emilia Clarke has bad news for anyone hoping the two end up happily ever after.
Considering Game of Thrones racks up records for setting stuntmen ablaze, it’s safe to say there’s a fair amount of death in Westeros. So much so, in fact, that some mad genius compiled footage of the whopping 150,000+ lost lives over the course of six seasons. Might want to get a poncho ready.
There’s been some back and forth on Game of Thrones Season 7 having longer runtimes than previous years, but the full episode breakdown brings good news. Season 7 may have been hacked down to seven episodes, but at least two of them will be the series’ longest outings to date.
Just under two months from its premiere, Game of Thrones finally thawed out a Season 7 trailer, teasing new alliances, surprise returns and the great White Walker war to come. We couldn’t help diving way deeper into every frame of footage in anticipation of Game of Thrones hitting HBO in July.
Game of Thrones is debuting later in the year than ever, but that doesn’t dampen our excitement for the first official Season 7 trailer one bit. Watch the world of Westeros get a little colder, even as the Great War heats up in the penultimate season’s first official trailer.
