The fifth Game Of Thrones prequel spin-off has been confirmed...
HBO has been coy up until now about whether George R.R. Martin was accurate when he blogged that a fifth Game Of Thrones spinoff was in development, but now EW is confirming it as a definite, and Bryan Cogman is writing the project.

As per EW, the fan-respected Game Of Thrones writer and producer has been attached for months to an unnamed project set in the world of Westeros, and he’s working closely with Martin himself to bring it to fruition. When and where the series would take place in the vast universe created by Martin’s 'A Song Of Ice And Fire' is a complete mystery, however it will almost certainly be a prequel, as the other four projects in development are.

China Girl’s penultimate episode ends with grave danger. Spoilers ahead in our review…
This review contains spoilers.

2.5 Who’s Your Daddy?
For all its symbolic dream sequences and unusual preoccupations, China Girl is obedient to the rules of crime mystery TV. There’s only one episode to go, for instance, and we still don’t know who the murderer is or who’s running the surrogacy racket (would you buy a baby from Puss?).
In time-honoured tradition too, the penultimate hour ended on a cliff-hanger that left a central character in mortal danger. On the same day that her adoptive dad swore he would lay down his life for her, Mary’s boyfriend tried...

Welcome back TBXers. Did everyone survive two weeks with no news from Ventrishire? Speaking of news, the good is that Pantry Baby has reappeared all over this episode. The bad? His brother … well, let’s get to everything that happened on this week’s The Bastard Executioner. We begin at Casa Maddox where, after last episode’s attention from Wilkin, Jessamy is looking for reassurance that their coupling pleased him. He tenderly tells her it did. But there’s more somber work to tend to. He heads out the door to help Ash and the Moor lay poor Calo to rest outside the shire walls. In … Continue reading →

This review includes a show-only discussion of Game of Thrones through season four, episode six, “The Laws of Gods and Men.” No book spoilers in the comments — we’ll have another thread for that. Beyond that, please feel free to discuss. You have to hand it to the writers of Game of Thrones — most notably this week’s episode scribe Bryan Cogman, who serves as the show’s story editor — they have done a masterful job of throwing three seasons of working formula out the window and delivered a sneaky, slithery, brilliantly gut-punchy fourth season. If season four has accomplished any one thing by this, its sixth episode, it has been limiting the waiting game. It’s not about one big ninth episode this year. Each frame of season four has given the audience some pause, and a reason to discuss at length. This week is no exception. This week’s big moment comes well into the...

It might seem crazy to suggest that another gaming season has come to an end so prematurely especially with the release of FIFA: World Cup 2014 just a few short weeks ago but with gamings biggest convention, E3, just around the corner, it’s only a matter of time before all eyes turn to the next iteration of the next game in the franchise.
In years past, even as FIFA began to pull away from Pes, every FIFA fan seemed to share the same singular vision when supplying yearly feedback to EA Sports: FIFA 09 was too fast; FIFA 11 had robotic defending, and even FIFA 12 – the pinnacle of the series – had some glaring issues. It’s clear that despite the quality, each year still saw new issues and problems.
Like it or not, FIFA 14 was merely a beta for what will be the true next gen title in the franchise...

Game of Thrones, Season 4, Episode 4: “Oathkeeper”
Written by Bryan Cogman
Directed by Michelle MacLaren
Airs Sundays at 9pm Et on HBO
Let’s begin in the south, where Daenerys’ army grows ever larger. Turns out catapulting broken chains over the walls of Meereen didn’t exactly spark an outright rebellion, so Grey Worm and the Unsullied go undercover, sneak into Meereen to bring the slaves an assortment of weapons to help incite an uprising. It’s great to kick things off where last week’s “Breaker of Chains” ended, but how disappointing is it that once again, we are denied any sort of intricate battle? All we get to see is three masters trapped in an alley, and a Targaryen banner perched atop a high tower, and that’s about it. In return for the 163 children that were nailed to posts along the desert path to Meereen, Dany shows no mercy,...

Four episodes into season 4, and Game Of Thrones isn't letting up...
This review contains spoilers.
4.4 Oathkeeper
It's a tale of rebellions. Daenerys Targaryen and her slave armies are overthrowing the cruel despots of Slaver's Bay, one walled city-state at a time. Meanwhile, north of the wall, a comparatively good leader in Jeor Mormont was betrayed and killed by his own men, and it's up to Jon Snow and a group of volunteers to get justice for the Old Bear (before Mance Rayder and his wildling army overthrow Westeros' power structure completely in favor of a wildling kingdom on both sides of the wall). Robb Stark's rebellion is crushed, and Stannis Baratheon's is mostly crushed, but the Seven Kingdoms faces continual threats from within and without.
Westeros is a huge continent, but it's also a pretty small world in the hands of David Benioff and D.

Based largely off of the first half of George R.R. Martin’s behemoth of a book, A Storm of Swords (which is longer than the entirety of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy!), the third season of HBO’s Game of Thrones brings all of the plot lines, character beats, and thematic developments from the first two years to a climatic head.
And as the show’s lingering questions are answered and bombshell revelations are dropped, this column (It Is Known: An Analysis of Thrones) will help wade viewers and book-lovers both through the narrative overload that will be at hand. What it won’t do, however, is spoil the story; the hope and intent is elucidation, not ruination.

Having discussed the Time of Puppies and Rainbows in the first part of our roundtable, Coming Attractions’s crackerjack crew of Game of Thrones experts now turns its attention to the nitty-gritty of television contracts, the difficulty of Daenerys Targaryen’s upcoming storyline (or lack thereof), and the huge news that A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin will be developing further series for HBO in the not-too-distant future… which may or may not include Game of Thrones spinoffs.
Mo Ryan, TV critic for The Huffington Post:
As far as I’m aware, TV actors don’t normally have a set or minimum amount of screen time put into their contracts. Here’s something that is fairly standard in Us TV: an actor who is contracted as a series regular may have a “10 for 13” or “8 for 10” contract. That means that for the duration of the shooting of a particular season,...

After compacting, contorting, and shuffling around the second novel to make it fit within HBO’s mandated 10-episode block, showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have been proactive to avoid the same type of scrimping this time ‘round: season three will only be based on the first half (or so) of book three, and each episode will have roughly five additional minutes of drytime tacked on, essentially adding an 11th episode to the roster.
This may go a long way to tamping down on the vociferous responses that the second season provoked last year, but, then again, given all the hints and clues we’ve gotten thus far about what season three will have in store, it may very well not make a whit of difference.

Here's the full list of who has written and directed the ten new episodes of Game of Thrones' third season...
Between now and its Us premiere on the 31st of March, followed by the UK airing on the 1st of April, Game Of Thrones fans are being drip-fed information about the new episodes on an almost daily basis by HBO, the latest of which is confirmation of exactly who has written and directed what for the new run.
Season three of Game Of Thrones is to follow a similar pattern to the previous two runs, with seven episodes written by showrunners David Benioff & D.B. Weiss, including the season opener and final three instalments, and the three remaining episodes penned by Vanessa Taylor (season two's Garden Of Bones and The Old Gods And The New), Bryan Cogman (season one's Cripples, Bastards And Broken Things and season...

Mo Ryan and Amin Javadi are nice enough to join us for the back half of the conversation, as we evaluate the overall filmmaking quality of the season (specifically in regards to its predecessor), the importance of the Battle of the Blackwater, and, most importantly, continue to go back-and-forth over the deconstruction of Arya Stark.
Did you miss the first part? Shame on you. Read it here.
Forget who’s involved? Double shame. Here you go:
Marc N. Kleinhenz – freelancer and author of It Is Known: An Analysis of Thrones, Vol. I. Elio García – co-founder and editor of Westeros.org and co-author, with Martin himself, of the upcoming The World of Ice and Fire. David Barr Kirtley – author and writer at Wired magazine. James Poniewozik – editor of Time magazine’s Tuned In blog. Doug Cohen – author, blogger, and former editor at Realms of Fantasy magazine. Amin Javadi – co-host of A Podcast of Ice and Fire.

Winterfell has been burnt to the ground, the Imp has been stripped of power, and Stannis has been defeated – but there’s so much more that didn’t make the final cut, and more still to discuss and debate, regardless of its inclusion or omission.
There’s so much to wrap one’s head around, in fact, that a tidy little roundtable I had planned tripled in size and had to be split in two halves. For this first part, a crack panel of George R.R. Martin stalkers and TV critics tackled the inherent quality of the source material, A Clash of Kings; the filmmaking chops of Game of Thrones showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff; and the dopiness – or lack thereof – of the average HBO viewer.

Based off of George R.R. Martin’s 1,000-page opus A Clash of Kings, the second season of HBO’s Game of Thrones takes the first year’s intricate plot lines, character shadings, and thematic undercurrents and simultaneously expands and deepens them to a ridiculously exponential degree. Or, at least, it’s supposed to – the actual doing just may prove to be a ways off from the source material’s being.
This column (It Is Known: An Analysis of Thrones) acts as a companion piece to both series, novel and television, analyzing the continuing story of the War of the Five Kings – and how it fares in the transition from the page to the screen. What it will not do is spoil the story; the hope and intent is elucidation, not ruination.
Given the twists and turns, betrayals and sacrifices that await in the next episode, such illumination will be needed.

Having been three episodes into a season that is simultaneously more surefooted but also more divergent than its predecessor, Marc N. Kleinhenz decided to call up some of the biggest fans – and critics? – of both HBO’s Game of Thrones and George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series to get out the microscope and examine what have already proven to be some of the show’s most controversial elements, changes, and improvisations. It’s a star-studded lineup to discuss what is turning out to be one of television’s biggest breakout hits.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
When you talk about the success of a TV show, a strong indicating factor is usually the number of seasons it aired for. Old heavyweights like Seinfeld and Friends ran for 9 and 10 ten seasons respectively. More recently we’ve had long runners in Lost (6) and Friday Night Lights (5), there’s even a fair amount of premium cable shows that have had substantial airtime; The Sopranos (6.5), Weeds (7), and Mad Men (4), to name just a few. Rarely do you get a show that carries the same prestige having only been around for 1 season!
This seems to be the case with HBO’s run away hit Game of Thrones, which was the most viewed show on Sky Atlantic last year. HBO even green lit the second season only hours after the first had premiered. Co-President Richard Plepler said, “We told George (R.R. Martin) we’d go as long as he kept writing.

Game of Thrones director Brian Kirk is reportedly in early talks to head Thor 2. The film will mark Kirk's directorial debut on a major Hollywood production. He directed three episodes of HBO's Emmy-nominated, ten-part television series - 'The Wolf and the Lion', 'Cripples, Bastards and Broken Things' and 'Lord Snow'. Kirk is at the top of the list of potential directors to succeed Kenneth Branagh, who headed the first Thor film, reports Variety. He was apparently chosen for having displayed his ability to juggle an ensemble cast and his experience working with a fantasy setting (more)...

Marvel is looking to TV for a director on Thor 2.Variety reports that Brian Kirk is currently in talks to direct the sequel to this summer's hit movie, Marvel no doubt drawn in by his work on both Boardwalk Empire and Game Of Thrones. And given that Kirk's three episodes of Game Of Thrones include two of my favorites - those being Lord Snow and Cripples, Bastards And Broken Things - I have no issue with that at all. Looking back farther in his filmography and seeing episodes of Dexter, Idris Elba starring UK hit Luther, The Tudors, The Riches and about half of League Of Gentlemen alumni project Funland certainly doesn't hurt, either.This strikes me as an uncommonly savvy move by Marvel.

Weighing in at just over 800 pages, A Game of Thrones is full of plots and sub-plots, primary and secondary (and tertiary and ancillary) characters, major and minor leitmotifs, and foreshadowing of foreshadowing – to say it is a dense narrative is an understatement in the extreme, particularly considering its status as only the inaugural chapter of a much larger tale. This column (It Is Known: An Analysis of Thrones) will act as a companion piece to both series, novel and television, analyzing each installment’s character beats and plot points as well as scrutinizing the transition from page to script.

Note: Holy Crap! This review, removed a few days ago by blogger due to the system failing ridiculously hard, was returned to me this morning! It's mad late, but, I figured it was still worth posting :D. At least, for the sake of archiving, it exists. Episode 5 will be up shortly.
