The deaths of the Sand Snakes in Game of Thrones season 7 were extremely clever. The Sand Snakes were the bastard daughters of Prince Oberyn Martell. Even though there were eight of them, the story surrounding the Sand Snakes focused on the three eldest: Obara, Nymeria, and Tyene. Each of their deaths was brutal but also very ironic. The Sand Snakes were introduced in Game of Thrones season 4 after the death of their father....
According to the scripts for Game of Thrones season 7, Cersei Lannister really is pregnant. Thrones fans have had an extra-long wait for the final season of HBO’s A Song of Ice and Fire adaptation, with 2018 being the first Westeros-free year in the show’s history. Fortunately, Game of Thrones’ eighth and final season has been confirmed to premiere in April 2019 and audiences will finally find out who will end up sitting on the Iron Throne, whether or not the oncoming White Walkers can be defeated and how nauseous Jon Snow will feel when he finds out Daenerys is his aunt....

He’s then forced to reassess his strategy, and figure out the truth behind Junior’s creation....
One of the best and most iconic sitcoms of all time, Friends has provided fans with so many moments from so many characters that will be remembered for generations to come. With its quality writing and cast, the show is brilliantly funny and is so easily digestible with its beloved characters and storylines. While it does bring a lot of happiness to fans and there are some hilarious and joyous episodes and moments, the show is not short of its reach for the tissue’s emotion....
Fashionable, ditzy, and a great friend are all ways that fans would describe Jennifer Aniston’s Friends character Rachel Green. Since the show was on the air for ten seasons, fans got the chance to really get to know her, and some might have even wished that she was real. Every episode of the sitcom is packed with funny jokes and unforgettable lines of dialogue. There are tons of catchphrases like “Pivot” that have become part of the pop culture landscape in the years since the show went off the air....
The beloved sitcom Friends is a show about a group of adults navigating their twenties, learning how to overcome their childhood insecurities, and figuring out who and what they want to be in this world. And though we all make mistakes on the bumpy road to adulthood, some mistakes are the result of selfish and outlandish behaviour rather than simple missteps. When the show begins, Ross’s world is crashing around him, and we truly feel for him....
Game of Thrones fans were not happy with Daenerys Targaryen’s “Mad Queen” arc, but it could have been fixed if it had only had more time to develop. The series finale concluded with Jon Snow riding north into exile after stabbing Daenerys in the heart, putting an end to her fiery conquest. It’s an ending that probably looked good on paper (or in George R.R. Martin’s outline), but ultimately left a lot of fans dissatisfied....
Anyone who’s read or watched the novels or TV series of George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones knows that there are enough family feuds, war, politics and intrigue for ten franchises. But for all the shocking deaths, betrayal, and strokes of luck that the series has featured thus far, there’s one question that fans debate more than any other, believing that it may hold the secret to the entire story....
In the Game of Thrones series finale, it’s revealed that Tyrion Lannister wasn’t mentioned in the Archmaester’s A Song of Ice and Fire book - but why not? As Tyrion says at the gathering in which Bran the Broken is elected the new King of Westeros, everyone loves a good story; there’s nothing more powerful than a story that can be diffused as quickly as it’s consumed. And so, based on Tyrion’s speech, everyone present at the summit elected Bran as their new ruler....
HBO has cancelled the Game of Thrones prequel TV series that was tentatively known as The Long Night. The show’s pilot episode began filming last July in Northern Ireland, with Naomi Watts (in an unknown role) leading the cast and S.J. Clarkson directing from a screenplay by showrunner Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass, Kingsman). It was one of a handful of Game of Thrones prequel series put into development by HBO, ultimately becoming the first of them to make it to production....
Game of Thrones has often warned that the night is dark and full of terrors, but in season 8 the show has become so dark that it’s often hard for fans to see what’s going on. This is especially worrying given that the White Walkers have arrived at Winterfell, as predicted, before the sun rises - meaning the Great Battle of Winterfell will take place at night. The show first started noticeably hitting the dimmer switch in season 5, with viewers often squinting to see what was happening in the House of Black and White, and it has only gotten darker since then....
November’s free Xbox game lineup for Games with Gold has been announced, and while they might not be the heaviest hitters, there are some solid titles on offer. One free game this month may even bridge the gap for anyone waiting for the release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order on November 15th. Both Games with Gold and PlayStation Plus, which recently announced its free November titles, seem to be somewhat overlooked by Microsoft and Sony lately....
When the news broke that Ulysses was moving from a one-time payment strategy to a subscription-only strategy, the reaction was unsurprisingly polarized. Many people empathized with how hard it is for developers to make a living with the modern realities of software development, while others were less forgiving and vowed to vote with their wallets. Being that it’s my number one favorite writing app on iOS and Mac, I’ve personally decided to stick with Ulysses, taking advantage of its discounted subscription rate for existing customers....
There could have been three couples within the Friends group had the production crew agreed with Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow’s pitch. Created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, Friends premiered on NBC in 1994 and came to an end in 2004 after 10 seasons. The series is still regarded as one of the best of all time and continues building a solid fan base – and one that is always curious about everything related to the show....
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced their full list of 2020 Oscar nominations. This year’s awards season will be shorter than usual, with the 92nd Academy Awards scheduled to take place at the beginning of February instead of later in the month or even March (which is traditionally the case). As a result, organizations have been handing out honors left and right of late, in the lead-up to the main event....
Remember the iPad case that could be thrown off a balcony or have a bowling ball dropped on it from a few feet in the air without hurting the iPad inside? From the obvious “don’t try this at home” category, Mobile Syrup popped their iPad 2 into a G-Form Sleeve, abused it for awhile, then had a car run it over. Result? The video stopped playing but the iPad was unharmed, at least as far as we could tell....
Fox’s Gambit movie now has a production designer, with regular Coen Brothers collaborator Jess Gonchor having landed the gig. The two-time Academy Award nominee has an impressive resumé, which includes True Grit, A Serious Man, No Country for Old Men, Burn After Reading, Inside Llewlyn Davis, Live by Night, Away We Go, The Devil Wears Prada, and the Coens’ upcoming Netflix series The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, among other movies/TV shows....
Tormund Giantsbane is, without a doubt, one of the most entertaining characters on Game of Thrones. The wildling warrior was first introduced in Season 3 as Mance Rayder’s right-hand man and is now one of Jon Snow’s closest allies. Though he is not one of the key characters on the show, he’s one of those people that gets audiences excited every time he pops up on screen. Tormund is a fierce fighter having survived some of the show’s biggest battles....
Jaime Lannister’s incestuous relationship with his twin sister Cersei on Game Of Thrones had devastating consequences for almost everyone in Westeros. The Kingslayer’s affair with the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms results in the War of the Five Kings after Ned Stark discovers the true parentage of Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen. There were certainly several other characters who would have been a better partner than Cersei. The evil queen was a toxic influence who brought out the worst in Jaime....
Game of Thrones tried correcting some of their mistakes with Sansa from season 5 in “The Last of the Starks”, but the episode instead highlighted the fact that the series still lacks a nuanced understanding of sexual assault and its aftermath. Sansa Stark shared a conversation with the Hound for the first time since season 2 in “The Last of the Starks” episode, in which he insists that she could’ve avoided her trauma at the hands of Littlefinger and Ramsay Bolton if she’d left King’s Landing with him during the Battle of the Blackwater....
