The much acclaimed new HBO series Game of Thrones, based on the popular book by legendary author George R.R. Martin, made its inaugural appearance at last month’s Comic Con, receiving a raucous round of applause, hoots and hollers from a crowd that would make any lord in the world of Westeros proud. Among the cast members who appeared on the …

Is everyone else seeing this too? Since losing his memory, Eric Northman has become the sweet, loving vampire, wearing his heart on his sleeve and oozing poetic words about Sookie, kind of vampire that Bill Compton was in the first couple of seasons. Bill, on the other hand, has become ruthless, cold-hearted and downright mean since taking the crown; much …

We barely managed to get into the Game of Thrones panel at Comic Con, but it was so worth the effort! Author George R. R. Martin did a terrific job as moderator and the panel was just small enough to give everyone the opportunity to talk. By now you’ve probably read about and/or watched the panel itself, so rather than …

HBO’s Game of Thrones took Comic Con by storm yesterday with a fun panel moderated by George R. R. Martin himself. We have a report coming, but for now here’s Warner Bros. recap of the booth signing and some quick interviews.

This week’s episode of True Blood was both a ton of fun and disturbing. Starting out the show with a playful Eric, drunk on fairie blood after draining Claudine dead, was a great show of Alexander Skarsgard  having complete fun with his character. You couldn’t help but fall in love with Eric while watching him pinch Sookie’s bum, playing catch-me-if-you-can, …

Aaron Perillo is the latest in the lineup of new blood on the HBO hit series True Blood. He plays a character named ‘Blackburn’ and the details on this character are being kept under tight security. Makes you wonder how he will impact the show. ‘Blackburn’ is a recurring role beginning with episode 4.05, “Me and the Devil”. Not much …

Last night on True Blood we were introduced to a whole new character: Eric Northman. Yes, I know he’s not really new, but here is a stripped down, arrogance removed, vulnerable, child-like vampire that we have never seen before. Eric Northman was all that you could expect from a 1000-year old, drop-dead gorgeous vampire with super human strength. Self confidence …

This week on True Blood, we finally get an explanation of how Bill Compton ascended to the throne as King of Louisiana, and how he met Nan Flanagan. We also watch as Marnie (Fiona Shaw) casts a terrible spell on Eric, causing him to loose his memory and gain some insight to the world of shifters. Again, there was a lot …

I was so torn after watching the premiere of HBO’s epic fantasy series Game of Thrones that I had to take to my keyboard and hash out what was bothering me. In short: in addition to excessive violence and nudity, the show felt misogynistic. I was assured by a couple of female critics I know that the women didn’t remain …

Game of Thrones premiered on HBO last night, and since it was a free preview weekend, I decided to tune in and give it a try. I generally only have HBO when True Blood is airing, since Bethanne and I also run True-Blood.net. After hearing so much about GoT from critics, publicists, and hopeful fans of George R. R. Martin’s …
