Pilou

One of season six’s new additions, Pilou Asbæk, talks Game of Thrones in a new interview with IGN this week. He wisely avoids spoilers but the actor teases his character, Euron Greyjoy, and shares his excitement in joining the show and his experience from the day the news of his casting broke.

Though there may be many characters on the show, “There’s no one like Euron Greyjoy,” Asbæk says to IGN with a smile.

A Song of Ice and Fire Theory Poll Results: The Conclusion

Posted on by Watchers on the Wall

Jon Snow

Welcome back to the 2015 A Song of Ice and Fire 5-site Theory Poll! Part 1’s results came out last week, and we now conclude the 2015 poll with part 2’s results, concerning plot points, ASOIAF history, and the future.

As before, my original intent was to create images for each question. However, I decided to only sample some of the more interesting or popular questions with the highest variance or congruence in answers.

This time though, instead of going for 5 theories that show some of the more popular (or unpopular) theories or theories that display greater variance among the 5 fan-communities, I went for 9 theories that I found particularly fascinating.

Theories contain information from the books, so Unsullied beware!

Game of Thrones Golden Globes afterparty roundup!

Posted on by Sue the Fury

GG afterparty

Game of Thrones may not have won the award for Best TV Drama, but the cast and creators still managed to have a good time last night at the Golden Globe Awards, and at the post-ceremony afterparties. The Globes are known for being a more laid-back, alcohol-soaked affair, compared to the Emmys or the Oscars, and the photos reflect that.

The awards were held at the Beverly Hilton, and USA Today reports that the official HBO afterparty was held at the Hilton’s pool area and in the adjoining restaurant. They noted Emilia Clarke in attendance (the actress changed from a long black gown to a shorter party dress after the awards) and also spotted Sean Bean. One of USA Today‘s reporters told Bean he was disappointed that Ned was killed so early in the series, and the actor reportedly replied, “Me, too.”

Also seen out and about last night at the parties were Nathalie Emmanuel, Natalie Dormer, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and more.
