Like many characters in Game of Thrones, the Targaryens are a bit of a mystery. Characters like Rhaegar Targaryen and Viserys Targaryen fascinate fans, despite the fact that they have both passed away at this point in the show. Rhaegar’s passing happened before the events of the story, while Viserys met his demise during the first season of the show. The remaining Targaryens, such as Daenerys Targaryen, also fascinate fans. While it has been revealed that Jon Snow is also a Targaryen, anatomy-wise he takes after the Stark side of his family more....

Nine years ago, HBO debuted a fantasy drama series called Game of Thrones, and it has grown into a worldwide phenomenon with the much anticipated eight and final season set to premier on April 14th. The show was an adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s best-selling fantasy novel series, A Song of Ice and Fire, which is made up of seven total books, two of them yet to be released. The five novels that have been released are A Game of Thrones (1996,) A Clash of Kings (1998,) A Storm of Swords (2000,) A Feast for Crows (2005,) and A Dance with Dragons (2011....

Game of Thrones’ infamous Red Wedding episode changed the course of the series by killing off two primary characters. It also shocked viewers with its graphic violence and abrupt plot shift. But the shocking twist wasn’t as out of left field as many may think. There was a significant amount of foreshadowing to the “Red Wedding” events of the season 3 episode “The Rains of Castamere,” in which both Robb Stark and his mother, Catelyn Stark, are murdered....

[WARNING – This article contains SPOILERS for Game of Thrones season 6, episode 2, as well as open discussion of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels.] – The pacing of the first two episodes of Game of Thrones season 6 has been quite slow. Last week’s premiere set the stage for the events to come and ‘Home’ slowly began pushing characters into action – and in some cases, taking narratives far beyond what’s been revealed in George R....

It’s almost 2020, but most people’s obsession with the ’90s sitcom Friends isn’t stopping anytime soon. Many believe that Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) and Monica Geller (Courteney Cox) are the ultimate in #friendshipgoals and that they couldn’t possibly be any closer. After all, they’re navigating their NYC lives together as roommates and pals, and they seem to spend the majority of their time together. But if fans look a bit more closely at this TV relationship, they might realize that there are some problems with this friendship....

Disney has released the second trailer for Frozen 2, revealing a lot of new additions to the mythology but also leaving some pretty big unanswered questions. The first Frozen film released all the way back in 2013, a reimagining of Hans Christian Anderson’s The Snow Queen, and it proved to be a massive success. The film grossed over $1.2 billion in the global box office and the song “Let It Go” became as firmly established in popular culture as any Disney classic....

Very few shows in the history of television have created as much controversy as Game of Thrones managed to. A show who is capable of killing off main characters like they mean nothing is pretty much capable of doing anything. After events like Ned Stark’s beheading and the Red Wedding, it would be expected that fans of the show would be used to having their hearts shattered with each new episode that airs....

Game of Thrones has myriad scary characters—in fact, just about every character on the show is capable of being incredibly frightening. But when a teenaged girl on the show has killed more people than Greyscale, she tends to stand out as being scarier than most. It’s not just the fact that Arya Stark has killed dozens of people that makes her scary. It’s the way she offs them that makes her kills range from deft and satisfying (“Something wrong with your leg, boy?...

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Game of Thrones’ season 7 premiere - Tonight’s season 7 premiere of Game of Thrones saw the Hound’s past came back to haunt him, as he was confronted with the skeletons of a family he left for dead back in season 4. Of course, given that the events of the show cover the Seven Kingdoms and beyond, and feature a dizzying array of characters, some viewers may have forgotten about this particular incident in Sandor Clegane’s journey - so here’s a quick refresher course on who the Hound was burying in “Dragonstone....

Mild SPOILERS for Game of Thrones season 8 ahead. New Game of Thrones season 8 set photos hint at a confrontation between Jon Snow and Cersei Lannister. HBO’s juggernaut hit is currently in production for its eighth and final season that will consist of six, longer episodes. Filming is expected to last until this summer, with season 8 slated to premiere at some point in 2019. With a longer wait time than usual between seasons of Game of Thrones and the show’s conclusion now on the immediate horizon, set photo leaks like these are quite helpful when it comes to keeping fans satisfied....

Before World or Warcraft (WOW) and even before Dark Age of Camelot (DAOC), the MMORPG (Massive Multi-player Online Role-playing Games) that started it all was called Ultima Online or if you’re an old-schooler like me you will refer to it as simply UO. UO was a spin-off of the popular Ultima series which took the world and the adventure to all new heights in 1997 – ONLINE. As an online game, UO was vary addictive as I can personally attest to....

Ross wasn’t exactly the most popular character on the sitcom Friends. Paranoid, jealous, socially awkward, and insecure, most of these feelings were caused by many girlfriends having cheated on him and his first wife leaving him for another woman. Through the series, while Ross was always a really funny character, he did some pretty terrible things that make you question whether Rachel made the right decision in ending up with him....

Fuller House season 5 part 1 is now available on Netflix, ending with a great setup for the rest of the season, so fans are naturally curious what’s next for the Tanner clan. The remainder of the show’s final season will be available for streaming in 2020; until then, fans are left to speculate how the Tanners’ story will come to an end. Netflix’s sequel spin-off of the ’80s/early ’90s family-centric sitcom, Full House, debuted in 2016....

In HBO’s Game of Thrones, the Night King is a formidable opponent, a villain who poses a much larger threat to Westeros than any we’ve ever witnessed before. He’s so fearsome with his undead army that everyone squabbling over the Iron Throne finds themselves actually working together in order to combat the literal Zombie Apocalypse in their backyard. As with everything Game Of Thrones, there are lots of different facts and scenes that HBO has either cut or altered regarding the Night King and his kind....

In the game of thrones, you either win, or you die. Suffice to say, many people have died in Westeros all because some nobles are vying for an ugly iron chair. One way or another, a Game of Thrones character is bound to kill or at least hurt someone, unless it’s themselves they want to be hurt or killed. This makes Westeros quite an unhappy place compared to other fantasy worlds....

Sure, there are some people who get those kind of numbers just for looking fabulous in a bikini (and even that has become extremely competitive) But, for the most part, it all comes down to just one thing: Strategy! Nope, nobody becomes social media famous on accident (apart from that one guy who just wanted to document his journey of quitting fizzy drink on TikTok!) Having a solid strategy in place is a nonnegotiable for growing on social media....

While the first season of Friends introduced us to the world and the main characters of the show very well, that doesn’t mean that all of the best characters were involved right from the start. Sure, this season had some amazing appearances from fan favorites, but it also lacked many others. Some of the most iconic characters from the hit sitcom weren’t introduced until much later on in the show. Joining later certainly wasn’t a bad thing either as the feel of the show had been established, and it was easier for the writers to create characters the fans enjoyed....

It’s been nearly 16 years since we said goodbye to the TV show Friends, and yet, over a decade & a half later, here we are still talking about it. That’s the kind of legacy that every major show should strive to leave, and it’s also the kind of legacy that will never go away. Alas, even though everyone pretty much universally loved the first nine seasons, there’s a little bit of contention when it comes to the 10th and final season that was produced....
