We’d like to thank everyone for entering this week’s giveaway featuring a Tywin Lannister figure from the official Dark Horse line. The participation was fantastic but as always, only one winner can take home this gorgeously made figure that guarantees you’ll have the Lord of Casterly Rock looking down on you in steely-eyed judgment at all times.
It’s as awesome as it sounds.
Alright, getting right down to it!
The winner of the Tywin Lannister figure is….

HBO has released 10 new photos from “Sons of the Harpy,” the fourth episode of Game of Thrones season 5.

New HQ photos below the cut!
With Season 5 picking up steam, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss recruit writer Bryan Cogman to talk to Vulture about book changes, Arya’s arc and The Butterfly Effect.
One of the most popular topics of conversation in regards to Season 5 is the separate paths ASoIaF and GOT are now taking. With any book to screen adaptation, changes have to be made. D&D and Cogman comment on why these changes were essential and overall for the absolute best of the show.

Hello and welcome to the third Video Recap Roundup of Season 5! Here are our critics and commentators for the week discussing “High Sparrow.”
This week was not so fun for some characters so we’re starting out with the very fun Jonathan of Gay of Thrones

“Are you drunk? I won’t have my honour questioned by an imp!”
“I’m not questioning your honour, Lord Janos. I’m denying its existence.”
So went the infamous words of one Tyrion Lannister, there setting to spark the beginning of a series of very unfortunate events befalling one Lord Janos Slynt. This poor man’s fall was as spectacular and meteoric as his rise; Janos was born but a butcher’s son, after all, and rose through the ranks of the city guard to eventually command the Gold Cloaks. But in his fall he left a trail of woe that would impress Dolorous Edd.

It’s time for another dose of Game of Thrones humor, centering this week on “High Sparrow” and the heady shenanigans of the episode.
The current edition of Comics of Ice and Fire happily unites a couple storylines:
That’s right, another Game of Thrones giveaway! Why? Because it’s fun and there are fresh episodes of Game of Thrones every week, and most importantly, there are some brand spanking new products out there worth sharing.
Dark Horse has just released several more products in its official line of figures dedicated to the show. King Joffrey, Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish , and Tywin Lannister join an already-impressive lineup of sculpted figures and other goodies.
Hot off last weekend’s Game of Thrones episode “High Sparrow,” there’s a nice spate of new interviews featuring the cast.
The highlights:
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau stopped by Conan to talk about the new season. In this first clip, Nikolaj talks Game of Thrones spoilers, and just what he was up to with that duck:
Are you enjoying Axechucker’s Twitter post? I know I am! Let’s nevertheless take a short break for some Game of Thrones numbers revealed today (and last night).
The initial airing of episode three was seen by 6.71 million viewers – which is comparable to last week’s number – and won the night, despite facing NBA playoffs. The repeat at 11 pm added another 0.8 million.
A more impressive (and ultimately more important) number is the one of total viewers. So far, the premiere episode has been seen by 18.1 million people, which is more than a million more than what episode one of the last season achieved in the same period, HBO reports. This means we’re on a good way to break the record of 19.1 million viewers per episode on average from last year. Check out the official press release after the jump.
I’m always up for a good stoning.
Twitter time!
This one’s a long one. Because… I dunno why. Because it was a long episode? (More like because my editing skills are shit.) (And I still probably forgot to add like 20 people I know.)
You know the drill. @Axechucker, #GameOfThrones, #HighSparrow. And yes, we’re still doing the Storify thing. Let us know if this is problematic. The last time we fixed the minor bugs, and it seemed to flow smoothly for 99.9% of y’all.
I actually highly recommend going “Slideshow” mode. (It shows peoples’ Twitter page background art and stuff. Nifty!)
