Game of Thrones seemed to heavily imply that Tyrion is gearing up to betray Daenerys in season 8. Their relationship has been on unsteady ground for some time now, and “The Last of the Starks” made it seem like his devotion to the Dragon Queen is starting to critically waver. Winning the Battle of Winterfell and stopping the Night King doesn’t result in the unity Jon and Dany were hoping for....

A patent application published today could herald slimmer Apple Watch models as the company describes a method of moving the haptic motor from the watch to the band. Taps to the wrist could then be delivered by the band rather than the Watch. Apple specifically cites space-saving as the benefit of the invention … Although Apple does the usual patent thing of keeping the language as general as possible, referring to ‘portable electronic devices’ rather than smartwatches specifically, frequent reference to ‘band’ as well as the patent drawings make it abundantly clear that the company has the Apple Watch in mind....

He then realized he had certain abilities: being able to see through the eyes of animals and tap into the past....

Spoilers for the Season 7 Finale of Game of Thrones - The latest ‘Inside the Episode’ video from HBO breaks down the season 7 finale of Game of Thrones and hints at the stories to come. Despite the abbreviated episode count this season, Game of Thrones managed to pack a lot of action and character interactions into just seven episodes.

The Free Guy movie trailer is released during the film’s CCXP panel, revealing Ryan Reynolds as a NPC (non-playable character) in a video game who gains sentience.

But not every character on Friends is someone we want to hang out and drink coffee with all day. Whether they’re annoying family members, romantic flings that don’t go the distance, roommates or the grouchy guy who lives downstairs....

Joffrey Baratheon’s death was a major turning point in Game of Thrones, but it’s possible that his own grandfather had a part in the deadly event. A theory suggests that Tywin Lannister had intel about the assassination of the King, and allowed it to play out. King Joffrey’s demise came during Game of Thrones season 4 in the episode, “The Lion and the Rose.” Following the major wedding uniting House Lannister and House Tyrell, Joffrey planned an ample amount of entertainment for the guests....
