Did you know that A Song of Ice and Fire author and Game of Thrones writer George R.R. Martin also does wedding planning in his spare time? I kind of wish that he’d worry more about the books than TV or weddings but he does plan some memorable weddings.
By the way, spoilers.
When you come into a season of Game of Thrones, you know that it’s the ninth episode of the season that everything is building up to. That’s where something big happens. But what happens when the writers and producers change things up on you and make it the second, rather than the second-to-last episode that changes everything. We’re about to find out this season after The Lion and The Rose.
Every now and then, our friends over at Movoto like coming up real estate valuations of famous fictional landmarks. To mark the return of Game of Thrones for its fourth season, they took a shot at valuing The Red Keep, the castle of the king of the Seven Kingdoms in King’s Landing. I won’t say that they did this just for us but they did email it to me just in time for Fridays of Ice and Fire.
So how much would buying The Red Keep set you back? I’d reckon that the Master of Coin would struggle to come up with that much money.
We’ve already looked at video of people reacting to the biggest moment of George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Fire and Ice. Now, we get to look at last week’s episode of Game of Thrones through the eye of the producers of the hit HBO show. They’re very modest about the whole thing but people were putting Game of Thrones on the shortlist of great shows of all-time. That talk is only going to get louder after last week’s episode.
Naturally, this video has spoilers for folks who haven’t read the books or watched last week’s episode.
Having not read the books yet, Sunday’s episode of Game of Thrones certainly caught me off-guard. It was definitely a big “did that just happen” moment though I’ll definitely be back for this week’s season finale. However, there were some people who were well and truly shocked and upset after watching the most recent episode. Those people make great viewing for us thanks to YouTube.
By the way, the video is probably a bit spoilerish so if you haven’t seen last week’s episode and haven’t read the books: Spoilers…

I quite enjoy making my Friday Game of Thrones hype posts. Mind you, I haven’t done it as much lately and the last couple of episodes have been absolutely stellar so I hope I’m not jinxing things. Anyway, today’s GoT post is a Pokemon mashup. What would happen if you made House sigils using Pokemon? […]

What if the internet was divided into Houses like the people of Westeros who are divided into hundreds of houses? Like in Westeros, some houses on the internet are bigger than others. Let’s call these the 12 Great Houses of the Internet. So what would the house sigils of the Great Houses of the Internet […]
Game of Thrones returns on Sunday for Season 3. Unfortunately, HBO has put the first showing of the season premiere against the season finale of The Walking Dead. Assuming that three weeks of nothing happening hasn’t turned people off of TWD, you can always catch the 10:00 PM and 11:00 PM showings.
In case, for some strange reason, you missed Season 2 of Game of Thrones, you can catch up on the show with this short recap video.

Yes, some wonderful person has combined two of the internet’s favourite things into one glorious gallery. It’s Game of Thrones characters and their feline equivalents. Because cats are awesome (though don’t let my dog know I said that) and so is Game of Thrones. Source: askshiva
We’re a whole six weeks away from the March 31st season premiere date but that doesn’t mean that HBO isn’t willing to rub the wait in a little with a new trailer for Season Three.
This season will be based on the first half of A Storm of Swords. Looking at the trailer, we can expect death, destruction and dragons. Fuck yeah, dragons! Shit’s going to get real when the dragons enter battle.
