It's hard to believe that there are only two episodes of Game of Thrones left, and this week feels like the calm before the storm. As Robb, Theon, Tyrion, and Stannis prepare for some serious battles, the ladies in all of their lives start making some moves of their own. Catelyn takes family matters into her own hands, Talisa finally seals the deal with Robb, and Osha's keeping a secret. As the Read more

There are only three more episodes left in the second season of Game of Thrones, and this week's episode feels like it's ramping up for an intense last few installments. But there's still a lot to talk about from this week, including a particularly nightmarish end scene and some hilarious banter between Jon Snow and his prisoner Ygritte. The title of the episode, "A Man Without Honor," certainly Read more

There's a lot of plot development on this week's Game of Thrones, but with it comes plenty of blood and guts. People lose their heads, arms, intestines, and in Daenerys's case — some very valuable possessions. We catch up with nearly every Stark this week and spend a little time in Winterfell, but each family member is in some sort of danger. Though we are forced to look upon Joffrey's yucky Read more

There's a major game-changer on this week's Game of Thrones, as the many kings of Westeros continue to prepare for the next battle.

And to add insult to injury, there is no trace of Jon Snow this week, either. While this week's episode may have been tough to watch, the many awful Read more

This week's Game of Thrones introduces us to a few new characters, while giving a bit of the spotlight to Tyrion, Theon, and Renly, and happily, there's no Joffrey again this week (though we get a good bit of Sansa). Renly is on a throne with a new wife, Theon makes a decision about where his loyalty lies, and Tyrion masterfully orchestrates a ruse. Oh, and as usual, there is a ton of blood Read more

There was no doubt in my mind that HBO would renew Game of Thrones, but it's still reassuring to know that season three is definitely on the way. The network announced the big news this morning, which makes sense considering the first two episodes of season two have performed very well in the ratings. HBO president Michael Lombardo had this to say: "Series creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss Read more
