The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones has been, to put it gently, something of a shitshow. Three of the five episodes that have aired so far are among the four lowest-rated in the show’s history. Character development got sacrificed in favor of spectable. An errant craft services cup got left in a…
We last saw Tormund Giantsbane and Beric Dondarrion running in terror as the reanimated Viserion breached The Wall in the Game of Thrones Season 7 finale. But are Tormund and Beric dead or alive? Would GoT really kill two long-running fan favorites — one of whom we’ve already seen die and be resurrected — off-screen?…
Ben Hawkey, who played Hot Pie on Game of Thrones, has transitioned his association with the famous fantasy series into a new career. He’s ventured into baking delicious treats for pop-up bakery “You Know Nothing Jon Dough.” The dire wolf loaves are a speciality of the shop. They come from Hawkey’s very own secret recipe…
Trisha Paytas makes a living on YouTube via mukbangs of delicious foods, titillating story times about her past and present hookups and personal drama, sponsored try-ons, surprisingly catchy and well-produced pop songs, and her infamous “crying and/or drunk on the kitchen floor videos.” Her online persona appears to be a ramped up version of her…
Now I understand why Game of Thrones‘ Maisie Williams plays Arya Stark so well: Both teens have the same no-nonsense attitudes. “People think we’re f*cking stupid and we don’t know anything about anything. It’s really degrading,” the told the U.K.’s Dazed of how adults treat young people. “I get a lot of adults who are…
The powers that be at HBO have announced a Sunday, April 12 premiere date for the new season of Game of Thrones. The network did so in as bombastic a fashion as one can via Twitter–they invoked the double whammy of ravens and Breaking news in all caps: BREAKING: #GoTSeason5 premieres Sunday, April 12…
The 2014 Emmy Awards kicked off last night in Los Angeles as statuettes were handed out for the Creative Arts Emmys, which included a lot of technical categories as well as some rather high-profile awards for guest actors, Best Animated Series and several reality programming categories.

This little nugget of fun was made by , who gave the Game of Thrones intro a fuzzy VHS makeover set to Steve Duzz’s 80s’ remix of the theme music.
In case you had any doubts about actress Maisie Williams being born to play the role of hard luck tomboy Winterfellian Arya Stark on HBO’s Game of Thrones, then this throwback photo of Maisie as young child will all but erase them completely!
It wasn’t by chance that George R. R. Martin made wolves into mystical, wise beings with special spiritual powers in his Game of Thrones books; he has a genuine soft spot for the animals. He loves them so much that he set up a wildly popular fundraiser to help out the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary and the Food Depot in Santa Fe, New Mexico, which is near where he and his wife Parris live. The grand prizes, which have already been snapped up, was the opportunity to get killed off in upcoming Game of Thrones book, but there is so much more available.
HBO’s hugely popular Game of Thrones can be a bit dark at times, what with its propensity for not rewarding good behavior and killing off main characters. We thought we’d lighten the mood in The Seven Kingdoms a bit by having Westeros’ version of Evanescence (Tyrion and Tywin Lannister, Daenerys Targaryan, Jon Snow and Petyr Baelish) sing Pharrell’s joy-inducing smash hit “Happy.” Keep reading to watch the hilarious results!
When British actress Gwendoline Christie was named to play Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones, the reaction from fans was that she was too pretty. George R. R. Martin describes Brienne in the books as the “ugliest woman in all of Westros,” which is a difficult role to be cast in for sure. At 6’3″ Gwendoline does fit the description of towering over a lot of men, but after years of the model life she definitely wasn’t buff enough the play Brienne. The main issue with Brienne isn’t her ugliness anyway, it is with her perceived ugliness in the Westros world, which isn’t very accepting of tall, masculine women.
George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones is a masterful and sprawling work of fiction dealing in the stuff of magic and dragon, but the complex power plays and intrigues between the major players was inspired a bit by history, specifically by the 15th century European chaos and conflicts known as The Wars of the Roses.
That’s right, Lily Allen’s little bro Alfie, who she described as a pot-smoking bum in her song “Alfie” from her 2007 album Alright, Still, is a successful actor, and his highlight role is as Theon Greyjoy in HBO’s wildly popular Game of Thrones.
The ultra-hip hip-hugging pop culture fashionistas over at Black Milk are redefining what it means to get Stark naked with their new line of Game of Thrones inspired clothing that includes leggings, swimsuits, skirts, dresses and… basketball uniforms?!? Aye!
Game of Thrones Season 4 is coming! Arya ready? You Samwell better be! I know we here at Starkasm R. R. dying to Cersei some new episodes! If you’re Tywin to kill some time before the April 6 premiere Yoren for a treat because HBO released 17 photos from the upcoming season on their Facebook Wall today.

Relatively unknown 23-year-old actress Emilia Clarke took the world by Stormborn after being cast as the ruthlessly compassionate Daenerys Targaryen, Queen of Dragons in the critically acclaimed HBO series Game of Thrones in 2010, and now she will be putting her fireproof brass ovaries to the test as one of the big screen’s toughest female characters of all time as she has been cast to play Sarah Connor in the new Terminator movie set to premiere in July, 2015.
Winter is coming. And as such, Christmas is coming! So what better gift could there be for the Game of Thrones fan on your Christmas list than one of the new figures from Funko, the company that has famously been turning George R. R. Martin’s epic fantasy tale of death, backstabbing and the brutality of human nature into adorable little plastic toys?!? After much anticipation, the company has finally released photos of the brand new Game of Thrones Series 3 POP! Vinyls that includes lil cutesy versions of Brienne of Tarth, Tywin Lannister, Drogon the dragon, Hodor, wildling Ygritte, Jon Snow’s dire wolf Ghost, and my favorite: Lil King Joffrey Baratheon! Plus, there will be additional figures of fan favorites Daenerys Targaryen and Tyrion Lannister, the latter of which is sporting his rather nasty scar.
Peter Dinklage’s character Tyrion Lannister on Game of Thrones was written to be hot. He’s the intellectual black sheep of the rich and powerful Lannister family, who stands out as much for his ultimately warm heart as he does with his wits, but Peter definitely brings his own mojo to the role.
He speaks with Playboy about his DwILF status, and jokes about plans for a fragrance line.
It is known that “a Lannister always pays his (or her) debts,” but apparently that can lead to some seriously low cash flow! Actress Lena headey, who plays HBIC Cersei Lannister on HBO’s hugely popular Game of Thrones, claims to have less than $5 in her bank account, according to divorce documents recently filed by the 39-year-old mother of one. Keep reading for the details, as well as what SNL‘s Peter Drunklage has to say about all this!
Tyrion Lannister (played by Peter Dinklage) is one of the best things about HBO’s stunning adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones series. And that’s saying a lot because everything about this show is amazing. But Tyrion’s cutting wit and fearless truths are beyond compare. Bonus: One of Tyrion’s best moments from Season 2:…
Clive Mantle, who plays Greatjohn Umber on HBO’s Game of Thrones, recently got his own taste of a little medieval roudyness. His character got two fingers bitten off by a direwolf on the series, and in real life he got the top part of his ear bitten off by a Scotsman.
Seth MacFarlane is known for his array of celebrity guests on his popular show Family Guy, and now he’s reportedly teamed up with one of the actresses from Game of Thrones, but it’s not for his show. Seth and Emila Clarke were seen together at last night’s HBO Emmy afterparty at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood and the two were getting more than cozy — despite their best attempts at playing coy. Could Daenerys be joining House MacFarlane?!?
Check out a complete list of winners from the 2011-2012 Primetime Emmys Sunday night telecast! Game of Thrones and Homeland were the big winners with six statuettes apiece, while HBO’s Sarah Palin biopic Game Change, History Channel’s mini-series Hatfields & McCoys, and perennial Emmy favorite Modern Family each walked away with 5.
Last week’s Game of Thrones cliffhanger showed Stannis’ red priestess suddenly get heavily pregnant, and give birth to a creepy shadow. What does this mean, and who is the actress who plays the chilling red lady?
Earlier today Ser Matthew Perry tweeted this photo of himself donned in armor and weaponry suitable for a true mummer’s farce. The picture was accompanied by the completely untrue words, “This needs no explanation right?” Keep reading for our best guesses as to why Chandler Bing looks like he is about to ask you, “What’s in your wallet?”
Humor is coming!

HBO’s fabulous fantasy series Game of Thrones won’t be back until April 1st; but, never fear, Matt Groening has you covered.

On April 1st HBO’s critically acclaimed (and enormously popular) fantasy series Game of Thrones returns for its second season of back stabbing and front stabbing as a slew of new characters are added to the elaborate chess match based on George R.

Keep reading for 17 character photos from Season 2 released by HBO earlier today, including the first clear looks at Gwendoline Christie as Brienne of Tarth, Liam Cunningham as Davos, and Carice van Houten as Melisandre!
Just prior to the premiere episode of their new series Luck, HBO premiered a new trailer for the second season of their EMMY and Golden Globe Award winning fantasy drama Game of Thrones. The trailer is simply called “Shadow” and is narrated by everyone’s favorite soft-skinned eunuch spider Varys, who summarizes the shattered state of the kingdom of Westeros for Tyrion Lannister. Keep reading to watch the trailer, read the transcript, watch the first trailer released some time back, and probably get creeped out by my geeky excitement.
What do you get when you mash up one of the all time great ironic movie theme songs with the best new television series of 2011? You get “Damn It Feels Good To Be A Lannister” – a video tribute to the hoighty toighty, incestuous, holier-than-thou, debt-paying Medieval Game of Thrones gangsters from House Lannister set to the beat of “Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta” from Mike Judge’s Office Space.
HBO dominated the field of nominees for the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards garnering a whopping total of 104 nominations! Their original miniseries Mildred Pierce and drama series Boardwalk Empire combined for 39 nominations and their original movies Cinema Verite and Too Big to Fail helped add to the total.

Just when I thought my man crush on Sean Bean couldn’t get any worse! Game of Thrones‘ Lord Eddard “Ned” Stark got into a bit of a scuffle outside a West London bar defending the honor of twenty-something glamor model April Summers and reportedly got punched in the face and stabbed in the arm during the attack. Just after he returned to the bar and ordered a drink. (This is a real life World of Warcraft mantasy!)
