You might think you have the greatest pet in the world, but that's probably because you don't watch much TV. Instead of a cat that secretly hates you, fictional pets can be dragons or loyal household animals who stick by your side as you step out into the great unknown, rather than eating the contents of your bathroom trashcan the second you're out the door.
While many fans of the fantasy genre adore both George R.R. Martin's novels 'A Song of Ice and Fire,' which have been adapted into the hit HBO show 'Game of Thrones,' and J.R.R. Tolkien's eternal classic 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, many fans have both pondered and fiercely argued which of Tolkien's characters would survive a face-off between one another.
You know, it's been a good amount of time since we'd heard anything noteworthy on the 'Game of Thrones' casting front, surviving off recent set pictures until this latest announcement. Suffice to say, it isn't a direction we expected HBO's George R.R. Martin fantasy epic to take. Sources report that Coldplay drummer Will Champion has been added to the cast of 'Game of Thrones' season 3, but what role could he possibly play?
'Game of Thrones' makes for one of our favorite and least favorite series on TV these days, given how long news takes to emerge and how worth the wait each season eventually feels. Filming continues abroad in preparation of a March 31 debut, but there's little hiding from set photos, particularly when fans want a glimpse of new characters! So who's ready to meet Daario Naharis and Missandei, two major new faces from 'Game of Thrones' season 3?
For as much epic, sword-swinging drama, seething political intrigue and yes, lovely ladies as 'Game of Thrones' brought to the table in its first two seasons, there's no denying that the HBO series' incredible production value ranks as one of the better aspects of the series. With a mixture of locations shoots and CGI, as well as make-up effects for characters, the network manages to bring George R.R. Martin's creations to life nigh-perfectly. One of the most hotly anticipated races made their debut in season 2 finale "Valar Morghulis," but how did the design evolve from the concept?
A few years ago, 'Game of Thrones' might not have seemed like a sustainable enterprise for HBO given its somewhat effects-heavy nature. Much more than simple swords and shields, to realize the world envisioned in George R.R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' novels would take a great deal of breathtaking, yet often subtle effects depicting vast landscapes and intricately detailed locales. With its recent Creative Arts Emmy win, how would you like to see how they do it?
Though the ‘Game of Thrones‘ season 1 Blu-Ray and DVD has been out for several months now, controversy is just now making the rounds about production and commentary for the show’s first season finale “Fire and Blood.” We’d seen the freak Easter Egg about former President George W. Bush being included among the severed head props used on the show, but what does HBO have to say about it?
Game Of Thrones wraps up season two this Sunday night. I’m bummed to see this season go. I think we’re going to be stuck with too many cliffhangers for the year. More after the jump.

Last week, I started watching this show on HBO called, 'Game of Thrones'. I don't know how in the heck I missed this series, but I'm glad I found it - it's awesome!
Last month the teaser for the second season for ‘Game of Thrones,’ the HBO drama based on the George R. R. Martin’s series of fantasy books, hit the internet. Now fans can watch a full length trailer, which was just released on HBO’s Go website.
HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’ is one of those shows where fans just can’t wait until the next season starts.
Season two doesn’t launch until April, but we have a behind-the-scenes look at the production which offers a sneak peek of some new faces to the hit series.
I made a major mistake last week identifying "Camelot" as the new HBO series, that show is on STARZ (and still great). The new HBO dark ages show is the completely fictional "Game Of Thrones". Read more and check out a 15 preview after the jump.
