While debates regarding the final season of Game of Thrones, just when George RR Martin will complete the next book and whether or not Dany’s doom was actually warranted or not will likely rage on for years, at least fans have memes to help dull the multiple stings they feel were inflicted by HBO writers. What would any fandom do without the humor of fellow fans to sustain us through the cold winter when it hits the North?...

Dean-Charles Chapman took over the role of Tommen Baratheon from Callum Wharry in Game of Thrones season 4 - but what was the reason for the casting change? The younger brother of Joffrey and Myrcella appeared as a background character in the first two seasons before his role expanded in season 4. Tommen was said to be the son of Robert Baratheon and Cersei Lannister but that wasn’t exactly the case....

Game of Thrones has finally come to it’s end, and as all had hoped and expected, the humans managed to defeat the white walkers, wights, and the Night King himself, once and for all. But unfortunately while Game of Thrones did offer a conclusion for these mysterious and strange beings, it really didn’t offer up a lot of explanations for what the white walkers did, could do, or even an explanation of their very nature....

Season 6 of HBO’s wildly successful fantasy TV series, Game of Thrones, is just on the horizon, and with it (hopefully) the answers to several major questions that have left fans guessing since the final shot of season 5. Westeros hangs in the balance as the Lannisters’ reign continues to crumble, Daenerys Targaryen has been captured by the Dothraki, and Jon Snow was last seen covered in blood, his fate becoming one of the most talked-about moments on TV over the past year....

With the second episode of season 8 about to hit screens, Game of Thrones inches ever closer to its finale - and the series’ final villain may actually turn out to be none other than Daenerys Targaryen. From the start, Game of Thrones has never been a show with straightforward good guys and bad guys; the inhabitants of Westeros are gloriously complicated, with motivations that are nuanced and changeable. Those that seemed the worst in the first season may be the ones that fans are rooting for by now: Jaime Lannister, once simply an arrogant, incestuous rich boy who pushed a kid out of a tower, has become a fan-favorite, giving up his family name to ride North and join the fight to save Westeros....

In recent years, the long, arduous process of waiting for another installment of author George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire book series has become something of a running gag in popular culture. There was a five-year gap between the third and fourth books, and a six-year gap between the fourth and fifth installments. HBO’s Game of Thrones TV series debuted the same year book five was released, rocketing the novels’ already high profile to new heights....

GaN chargers have been around for a while now, but it’s only relatively recently that the price of the gallium nitride (GaN) has fallen the the point where they are becoming mainstream. The main benefit is high power in a small package. The UGreen 200W GaN charger claims an astonishing 200W, while the OneWorld65 shows just how compact a Mac travel charger can be … I’ve been testing both, and the benefits really do justify the relatively modest price premium you now pay for the more advanced charging tech....

From the outside, Apple Palo Alto looks much the same as it did after relocating from a smaller store just down the street in October 2012. Floor to ceiling glass panels welcome customers through the store’s doors, where a massive, glowing Apple logo is suspended above. An arched glass roof runs the length of the store suspended by stone walls that border three of the building’s sides. When the store opened, it was referred to as a “prototype” for the future of Apple’s retail design....

Game of Thrones is about certain characters vying for control of the Seven Kingdoms. Their primary goal is to claim the Iron Throne, the most coveted of uncomfortable chairs. However, the history of the Iron Throne extends further back than just Cersei Lannister and Daenerys Tagaryen’s upcoming fight for it. The lore of the Game of Thrones series is legendary. By simply reading the books, you can glean that Westeros has a longer history than a single episode has the time to tell you....

Game of Thrones is a series that loved to play around with the gray areas in heroes and villains. There were plenty of evil people in Westeros, but the show often showed us a more sympathetic side to them as well. Likewise, some characters we saw as heroes ended up being capable of terrible things. By the end of the series, opinions on several characters had changed while there were a few key characters who managed to remain heroes to the end....

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Game of Thrones’ “The Long Night”. The biggest death in the latest episode of Game of Thrones has to be the Night King, stabbed by Arya, but did Bran know that this was coming all along? One detail points to the idea that Bran/Three-Eyed Raven saw this coming in Game of Thrones season 7 - which is why he chose to give Arya that particular Valyrian steel dagger (the same one that was used to try and kill him all the way back in Game of Thrones season 1)....

While season 8 of Game of Thrones was one of HBO’s most anticipated events of the year, the final season didn’t live up to expectations. While the beginning of season 8 set streaming and rating records for Game of Thrones, things quickly went downhill....

Friends is likely leaving Netflix after Warner Media’s streaming service launches. The highly successful sitcom about a group of six twenty-something friends navigating day-to-day life in New York City launched the careers of its cast, which consisted of Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Courtney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow and Matthew Perry. Friends debuted on NBC in 1994, and quickly gained such popularity that even its theme song, the poppy “I’ll Be There For You” by The Rembrandts, made quite the impact on charts around the world....
