Last night’s acclaimed episode of “Game of Thrones” featured a host of exciting moments: Jon Stark (Kit Harington) goes to battle with Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon), who was eventually fed to his own hounds by Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner); Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) burns the Master’s fleet with the help of Drogon; and Yara (Gemma Whelan) and Theon (Alfie Allen) swear loyalty to Daenerys to help her defeat the Seven Kingdoms. Next week is the sixth season finale, and it’s all but guaranteed to be a powerful conclusion to a season filled with resurrections and renewal. As Tyrion tells Daenerys near the end of the trailer, “You’re in the great game now, and the great game is terrifying.” Watch the trailer below.

The rules of love and marriage in Westeros and Essos (and assumedly Yi Ti and Asshai) are different than our modern sensibilities. While most Houses frown on straight up incest — Targaryens and some Lannisters excluded — nobility likes to keep it in the extended family. Nearly everyone in the upper echelons of power is related, and cousins getting married is so common place no one bats an eye. This is why I’m not entirely convinced Game of Thrones isn’t setting the stage for Sansa Stark and Jon Stark to get married. And I’m pretty upset with myself for being on board with this. Warning: Spoilers For Game Of Thrones Beyond This Point. First of all, I’m not proud of this. The warped machinations of Westerosi politics have tainted me. But hear me out. Sansa Stark is now the eldest child. She has experienced helplessness and power. Now that she has a modicum of freedom and agency, I doubt she’ll ever let it go. Her love for Bran and Rickon may not outweigh her desire to be Wardeness of the North and her own keeper. But to maintain her position, she would need to either be the eldest Stark child And a boy, or marry someone higher on the heir food chain than Bran. Jon Snow could be that heir. But ewww, they’re siblings right? Nope. And I’m not talking about Littlefinger’s reminder to Sansa that they’re only half-siblings. Though gods know in this culture, that might be far enough genetic distance on its own. But they’re not even that. Sansa Stark is Jon’s cousin. Jon Targaryen’s cousin. A surprise to no one at this point (though this is what the spoiler warning was for), Jon Snow is not the product of an out-of-character tryst between Ned Stark and some mistress, but the lovechild of Ned’s sister Lyanna Stark and her lover (or perhaps husband, or perhaps rapist if you believe Robert Baratheon) Rhaegar Targaryen. At some point Jon will learn the truth and everything will change. This is where things get interesting and, admittedly, icky. Okay yes, I'm a monster. A politically savvy monster. As a direct descendant of Rhaegar, Jon Targaryen has a claim that is as solid as his Aunt Daenerys’. And he isn’t some outsider coming in with a marauding horde to plunder the continent and set it on fire. He’s a homegrown boy coming with a more familiar marauding horde to save the continent from ice zombies. Should Jon’s parentage come to light, he becomes the heir to the Iron Throne and the Lannisters become the pretenders. However, one cannot rule by right alone. Sansa Stark is the eldest child of Winterfell, the lead House of the North. The North is the largest territory in the Seven Kingdoms. Should Targaryen and Stark merge, they’d form an alliance to be reckoned with. Would Sansa and Jon agree to this madness? Perhaps. Sansa is nothing if not pragmatic at this point in her life. She feels that Jon is the only man in her life she can be both herself around and feel safe with. They see each other as equals. Jon would be more likely to balk at the suggestion at this point. But death can offer strange attitude adjustments. And he does have a thing for red-heads (I'm a monster, send help). Is it likely? Probably not. But can’t you see these two with crowns on their heads? Image Credit: HBO...

Jon Snow is dead, long live Jon Stark!
Ever since those traitorous Night’s Watch men plunged their blades into their own Lord Commander in the season 5 finale, fans have wondered if there was a chance that the young bastard of Winterfell could have survived. Well, he didn’t – but that doesn’t mean we won’t be seeing him again. After months of rumor and speculation, we finally have some photographic evidence that Kit Harington will be back for season 6 of Game Of Thrones.
The below pic was taken at the Belfast set , where a massive battle is reportedly about to be shot involving Jon, the Boltons, the Umbers and presumably at least some of the remaining members of the Night’s Watch. Though it’s not the clearest image, you’ll notice Harington is there, clad in House Stark colors.

After months of rumor, speculation, and semi-confirmation, we finally have some photographic evidence that Jon Snow will return next year for the sixth season of Game Of Thrones. Kit Harington was spotted in Belfast in some new armor (I guess we can call him Jon Stark now?), shooting scenes with an army of extras believed to be comprised mainly of Boltons, Umbers, and one would assume whatever Night's Watch men the reincarnated Snow was able to rally to his cause. Exactly what that cause is remains to be seen, but rumor has it Johnny boy is out to reclaim Winterfell from the clutches of Roose Bolton and his monstrous son. The other images are courtesy of a Spanish website, and feature Emilia Clarke as Daenerys leading an army of Dothraki alongside Michiel Huisman's Daario Naharis. Clearly she managed to get out of that little predicament she found herself in...

Poor Jon Snow. He's constantly told he knows nothing, and even though he was just elected Lord Commander of the Night's Watch in "Game of Thrones" Season 5, he literally won by one vote and was immediately defied in his first executive order. Yeah, Melisandre seems into him (he does know how to attract aggressive gingers), but it's lonely at the top. Jon Snow's dream was to be Jon Stark, then maybe First Ranger like his uncle Benjen, not Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, separating him from his friends even as more enemies approach.
Kit Harington discussed Jon's journey in a new interview with The Daily Beast, and shared a sad and rather frightening tease about Jon's Season 5 future:
Where he is this season is he's acutely aware of imminent danger - which is all around him. He's not wrapped up too much in trying to get over Ygritte,...

Tyrion Lannister doesn't know it yet, but he ended "Game of Thrones" Season 5, Episode 3, "High Sparrow," in a much better situation than his estranged wife, Sansa Stark.
Does anyone in the Seven Kingdoms and across the Narrow Sea have worse luck with weddings and engagements than Sansa? Joffrey. Tyrion. Now Ramsay Bolton. Either Walder Frey or Qyburn's monster must be next. Tyrion was a prince of a husband in comparison, but -- to his credit -- he never wanted to marry a young girl who didn't want him. Now she's engaged to the guy who flays for fun. Seven hells. Do you think the Boltons can be killed off before anything ... happens? This is a big change from the book, but we could say that about several storylines this season. Is that a good thing? It makes the ride a little more exciting...

Game of Thrones, Season 5, Episode 2: “The House of Black and White”
Directed by Michael Slovis
Written by David Benioff and Db Weiss
Airs Sundays at 9pm Et on HBO
The season five premiere of Game of Thrones had a lot of work to do, reintroducing us to a large ensemble cast while establishing several new story-lines for major characters. While “The Wars to Come” was busy with several key players including Jon Snow, Stannis Baratheon, Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion and Cersei, there was little room for some of our other favourite characters to shine, and one (Arya) to make even a slight appearance. Luckily, episode 2, “The House of Black and White,” found ample time to focus on Arya Stark’s journey to Braavos. Meanwhile Pod and Brienne run into trouble on the road when crossing paths with Little Finger; Jamie heads to Dorne to bring his daughter back home safety...

Yes, yes, Game of Thrones is all about climbing to power and ruling the land. You play or you die. Power resides only where men believe it resides. Yadda yadda.
But here’s a salient question: After watching what happens to khaleesi/mhysa/queen Daenerys in this week’s episode, for the love of the old gods and the new, who would want such an insane responsibility?
We’ve seen corrupt leaders during our time in the seven kingdoms. Their blatant grabs at power, coupled with their indefensible deeds, have meant that we haven’t felt that bad when they...

Drogon the dragon returned at the end of "Game of Thrones" Season 5, Episode 2, "The House of Black and White," just in time for almost everyone else to abandon their Mhysa. Everyone saw justice as black and white this week, with a lack of common ground causing problems for leaders from The Wall (congrats, Jon Lord Commander Snow?) down to Dorne and across to Meereen. Oh, Dany. You're going to regret that call.
Daenerys Targaryen is the mother of dragons, but can't tame them. She wants to be a good ruler but what's fair and what's right? "The House of Black and White" was like Ned and Robb Stark all over again -- especially Robb, when he killed an ally for killing an enemy to try and make a point about justice to allies who only ended up abandoning him. This week, Dany killed one of her own allies in a...

Former Game of Thrones star Richard Madden has made light of his casting in Disney's Cinderella.
Madden stars in the fairytale epic as Prince Charming, a role he welcomed after the infamous demise of his Game of Thrones character Robb Stark.
5 must-watch March cinema releases: Chappie, Insurgent, Cinderella
Cinderella's Lily James denies CGI claims: 'I do have a small waist'
"I die in everything," he joked to Access Hollwood. "No, I did this because I loved the script and because I loved [director] Kenneth Branagh. That's what really kind of pulled me to it actually."
He added: "I mean, it is nice to have a happy ending for a change."
Madden also touched on Prince Charming's real name being Kit, the same first name as his former Game of Thrones co-star Kit Harington.
"Well that made me laugh," he quipped. "I thought, 'Oh God, people already kind of… get us...

"Game of Thrones" took the momentum it picked up in last week's episode "Walk of Punishment" and continued it in this week's "And Now His Watch Is Ended." Episode 4 is definitely the best of Season 3 so far, with Daenerys proving she's not the same girl who lost her dragons in Season 2 and Sansa becoming one of the most important people in King's Landing, even if she doesn't know it.
Jaime Lannister hasn't taken well to the fact he had his sword hand cut off, but it's the men of the Night's Watch who really suffer in this episode. Robb and Jon Stark are nowhere to be seen in episode 4 while Bran, Arya, Sansa and Tyrion have limited screentime, but "And Now His Watch Is Ended" propels forward major Season 3 storylines even if it doesn't use major characters to do so.

Another day, another reason to be excited for the upcoming HBO adaptation of George R.R. Martin's best-selling fantasy series, "Game of Thrones." HBO released a whole slew of promos for their next couple seasons of shows, and unsurprisingly "Game of Thrones" was among them. This teaser introduces us to the Iron Throne, the seat of power for the ruler of Westeros, and the major players in this struggle for the throne.
Before I go on to introduce to you in better detail the different characters that the promo shows us, here's a bit on the mythology of the Throne. As you can see in the trailer, it almost looks like a peacock in the back with all the swords sticking out of it. The first of the Targaryen rulers, Aegon I, had the throne built at the beginning of his reign from 1,000 swords surrendered by his enemies. It was...
