Fire met ice in a big way on Sunday’s Game of Thrones… but it wasn’t Dany’s fire-breathing dragons that ultimately saved Jon Snow from the chilly clutches of the Night King.

Ice? Check. Fire? Check. Thrones? You bet. Game? Not anymore.
After last night's incendiary hour, Game of Thrones' shorter but still stunning Season Seven is now just past the halfway mark, and the stakes couldn't be higher. The once-sprawling story is down to just three major factions now: King Jon Snow in the North,; Queen Cersei Lannister in the South; and Daenerys Targaryen, a.k.a. the Mother of Dragons, on her native soil for the first time since her birth. The battles that followed eliminated entire houses and...

Three outta four ain’t bad?
Before this season of Game of Thrones began, I predicted that the remaining Stark children would never be in the same place at the same time ever again. Because that would be too happy of a moment for a family plagued by heartache and supremely bad timing.
And while that still isn’t the case in this week’s episode, we do get Arya, Sansa and Bran together at Winterfell, a reunion that is as hard to watch (given how much...

Forget the Super Bowl, the Triple Crown, and even the presidential election: When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die — now those are high stakes. With only two seasons and change to go in HBO's Game of Thrones, we're getting closer and closer to the epic fantasy saga's final rounds. In other words, it's time to place your bets about who'll be left standing when fire meets ice, dragons meet White Walkers, the living meet the dead, Jon Snow meets Daenerys Targaryen, and all that big climactic stuff goes down.

Kill the boy, and let the dragon man be born. Jon Snow returned in "Game of Thrones" Season 6, Episode 2, "Home." As many of us expected, after Melisandre showed up at The Wall in the Season 5 finale, Mel was involved in reviving him. She doesn't know it worked yet, though, and neither does anyone else. Except Ghost.

Yep, it's aliiiiiiiiiive. Jon's not quite as much of a Frankenstein's monster as Cersei's Mountain pet Robert Strong, but he's also maybe not quite a god. Then again... Azor Ahai?
Speaking of kill the boy, and being stabbed to death, Ramsay Bolton was in classic Ramsay form this week, stabbing his father Roose Bolton to death (he should've added "for the Watch" or "the Starks send their regards") and setting his dogs on both Walda Frey Bolton (we were rooting for you,...

Game of Thrones, Season 4, Episode 4: “Oathkeeper”
Written by Bryan Cogman
Directed by Michelle MacLaren
Airs Sundays at 9pm Et on HBO
Let’s begin in the south, where Daenerys’ army grows ever larger. Turns out catapulting broken chains over the walls of Meereen didn’t exactly spark an outright rebellion, so Grey Worm and the Unsullied go undercover, sneak into Meereen to bring the slaves an assortment of weapons to help incite an uprising. It’s great to kick things off where last week’s “Breaker of Chains” ended, but how disappointing is it that once again, we are denied any sort of intricate battle? All we get to see is three masters trapped in an alley, and a Targaryen banner perched atop a high tower, and that’s about it. In return for the 163 children that were nailed to posts along the desert path to Meereen, Dany shows no mercy,...

Based largely off of the first half of George R.R. Martin’s behemoth of a book, A Storm of Swords (which is longer than the entirety of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy!), the third season of HBO’s Game of Thrones brings all of the plot lines, character beats, and thematic developments from the first two years to a climatic head.
And as the show’s lingering questions are answered and bombshell revelations are dropped, this column (It Is Known: An Analysis of Thrones) will help wade viewers and book-lovers both through the narrative overload that will be at hand. What it won’t do, however, is spoil the story; the hope and intent is elucidation, not ruination.
Given the death, destruction, and – gasp – hope that await in the next two episodes, such illumination will be needed.

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s that time of the year again when the highly anticipated, epic fantasy television series, Game of Thrones, returns to HBO’s screen with a new season. The third season will be an adaptation of the first half of George R.R. Martin’s A Storm of Swords, which is the third book in A Song of Ice and Fire series. But before we’re dazzled by the shocking revelations that the new season has to offer, D.B. Weiss and David Benioff have given us an intriguing insight to some of the show’s cast, who will be portraying old and new characters.
The new images shown below take us back to the world of Westeros and Essos, and introduces us to a new set of characters. Book fanatics will be excited to know that Meera and Jojen Reed will be included in the third season, with...

If you've just been watching HBO's hit series Game Of Thrones, you're definitely missing out. The book series, A Song Of Ice And Fire, may be a tad longer than a season's worth of episodes, but it's a future American classic to be sure. I'm four books into the series and have been amazed thus far and would recommend it (perhaps not for children) over Lord Of The Rings. Why, though? (Hint: It's not boobs.)
Two words: "The Game."
The Game of Thrones is not only the title of the first book in the series, it's also a major plot point for the whole series. It is "The Game" that makes a sellsword just as relevant as the ruling king in the series. One thing George R.R. Martin did very well with this series was character development. At times you have to wonder if this world is at all imaginary...

At the recent HBO Emmy party, we were relieved to discover a certain character in jeopardy lives in season 3 of "Game of Thrones." That's all we can say about that. Now "Game of Thrones" the HBO fantasy drama based on George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice And Fire series is back March 31, 2013! The show's San Diego Comic-Con panel in July introduced cast members for season 3, including Ciaran Hinds (Rome, Munich) as Mance Rayder, Mackenzie Crook as Orell Skinchanger, Thomas Brodie Sangster as Jojen Reed, Ellie Kendrick as Meera, Kristofer Hivju as Tormund Giantsbane and the amazing Diana Rigg (The Avengers) as Olenna, and many more.

HBO’s Game of Thrones season 2 is coming to an end this Sunday, extended style at that, and though we can never be sure who may survive or not survive to live again in Game of Thrones season 3, we can discuss some of the new characters we can expect, by way of a list from the showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss who released the list to EW. These names would all be very familiar to the readers of A Song of Ice Fire, and specifically A Storm of Swords, the third (and I think by far the best) of the George R.R. Martin’s novels in the series.

Mance Rayder: We’ve heard about him all season. A former member of the Night’s Watch who became the “King Beyond the Wall,” the leader of the Wildlings.

While the second season of HBO’s Game Of Thrones is still wowing viewers, and has yet to air its season finale (that comes this Sunday at 9 Pm), it’s not too early to get excited for season 3, is it? Creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have already put together a list of the new characters we will be seeing next year.
The third season will be based on the first half of George R. R. Martin’s A Storm Of Swords (as a part of the A Song of Ice and Fire series), and now we know a little bit about what to expect. The list, thanks to EW.com, follows.
– Mance Rayder: A former crow turned the King Beyond the Wall, the leader of the Wildlings. Jon Snow and Quorin are off to see him now.
– Daario Naharis: Another man to dote and fall in love with the Mother of Dragons.

As all Game of Thrones fans know, the Season 2 finale is this Sunday. Happily, however, information is already being released about Season 3. Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have reportedly been besieged – sorry – with questions about just which characters from the next book in the George R.R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire series will be included, especially given that A Storm of Swords will be split over the next two seasons.
Wonder no more – well, wonder less, anyway, as they gave at least a partial list to EW:
– Mance Rayder: We’ve heard about him all season. A former member of the Night’s Watch who became the “King Beyond the Wall,” the leader of the Wildlings.
– Daario Naharis: A confident and seductive warrior.
– Jojen Reed; Meera Reed: A teenage brother and sister duo with special insights.
– Edmure Tully: A brash young member of the Tully family.

See that beautiful platinum-blond princess across the way? That's Daenerys Targaryen. Stay away from her. Everyone she loves dies or gets taken away — not ideal for those of you who value your lives.
Honestly, as much as I'm loving this season, I'm not happy with where "Game of Thrones" is taking Dany. I'm an avid fan of George R.R. Martin's source material but not a stickler or purist who believes his novels must be adapted to the letter. Still, the liberties taken with Dany in Qarth, this week in particular, feel needless and damaging to who the character is.
We'll get deeper into that later in our recap. Keep reading for more updates from Westeros, most of them blood-soaked and reeking of death — with one lovely exception.

It was difficult to break down the Game of Thrones story this week. So much varied from the books.
The foundation remained the same, but due to the vast number of characters, many were reduced from three to one, or so it appeared, and the same went for the situations in which characters found themselves.
As always, I break down the TV show versus the novel below, while Matt Richenthal focuses solely on the former in his Game of Thrones review.
Arya was outed as a girl and working in Tywin's kitchens, but not in such close proximity to the man himself, and not with so many knowing her secret. Frankly, it never seemed that anyone cared once she was there at Harrenhal.
When Tywin asked her where she was from and what she knew of Robb Stark, I had to remind myself that the Lannisters had kept the secret...

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York will hold a retrospective of Raj Kapoor (1924-1988) and showcase eight classics of the legendary actor, director, and producer from January 6 through 16, 2012.
“Largely unknown in North America—except to filmgoers of South Asian descent—Kapoor is revered not only in India but also throughout the former Soviet world, the Middle East, and beyond for the films he made during the Golden Age of Indian cinema. The exhibition is curated by Noah Cowan, Artistic Director, Tiff Bell Lightbox, and organized by Tiff, Iifa, and Rk Films, with the support of the Government of Ontario.
