10 Reasons why Game of Thrones is the Best Show on Television

1. Dragons. Yea, I know they aren't in the show all the time, but we all watched them be born and grow in to fire breathing, face melting, bad asses.



2. The Locations. Everything from a castle in the sky that has a hole of death to a torture chamber where Theon GreyJoy is turned into "Meat" by a sick and twisted Ramsay Snow. Every location is created on a grand scale and makes for a great battleground for the epic that is Game of Thrones.


3. Peter Dinklage aka Tyron Lannister. This guy is great. He started the series as a dwarf Lannister with a hooker addiction, and turned into someone who was the brave leader of an army defending King's Landing. Not to mention that he just killed his father while he was taking a dump on the privy. Peter Dinklage gets named as well, because not only is Tyron a great character in his own right, but Peter Dinklage does such a good job of making the audience relate to Tyron.
4.The Wildlings. They are an entire nation of outcasts that live beyond the wall. The Wildlings become more interesting as Jon Snow is forced to live with them and we learn more about them. Also, they have Giants. Yea thats right Giants. One almost made it through the wall, but was slain before it could make it.
5. Melisandre. So she is one crazy chick, but she is hot and a redhead so she made the list. Seriously though, she is great character because she is a bit of a mystery. You kind of think she is crazy with some of her visions and fire talk. Then, she gives birth to a demon and your like whoa this chick is the real deal. 

6The Weapons. The weapons in Game of Thrones are bad ass. They don't have the standard cookie cutter weapons that medieval shows use.  The Dothraki use an Arakh, which is a curved bladed weapon, Ned Stark had a huge Broad Sword, and Arya has a small pointed blade she calls Needle. There are many more cool weapons including the spear the Red Viper used..(he should have made sure the mountain was dead.)
7. Arya. She is an interesting one. This little girl has seen so many things and has met some crazy people along the way. She watched her father get murdered, she shows up just after her Mother and Brother are murdered. She traveled the countryside with a burnt-faced man called the hound, and she is best friends with an Assassin. All this and she can't even drink yet.
8. Daenerys Targaryen. She was sold to a Nomad King, Gave Birth to Dragons in a fire, Conquered a few kingdoms with a freed-slave army, and yea, she has Dragons. Not to mention that she is pretty good looking and seems like she is doing her best to be a fair Queen for the nations she has liberated.
9. White Walkers. These guys are still kind of a mystery in the grand scheme of things. They are an Undead army that are in the show just enough to make you wonder when they are gonna launch an attack of their own. 
10. The Story Itself. What can be said about this story other than it is top notch. We are always constantly trying to figure what is gonna happen next (unless you read the books), and as soon we think we know what is coming someone dies that we thought was the main character of the show (I know I didn't see Ned Stark dying in season 1). We are always meeting new people that live in the world of Westeros and are always taken to new places that have a connection to the characters in the story.

Holy Crap, Did Game of Thrones' First Season 6 Poster Just Reveal Jon Snow's Fate?!


Is it April yet?!

Game of Thrones fans, rejoice: we finally have our first look at season six, and it is all about Jon Snow (Kit Harington)! Clearly not content to let The Walking Dead have all the fun when it comes to fans speculating over a fan-favorite character's fate, Game of Thrones has redirected resurrection talk back to the beloved character, thanks to a new billboard in Times Square. See the full art above.
In the first ad for season six, which reveals that the HBO hit series will return in April (!), a bloodied Jon Snow is front and center, looking down and distraught.
But alive?!

Since Jon Snow's death nearly broke the Internet in June, there have been endless theories crafted by distraught fans, speculating just how Jon Snow will return. And there has been a lot of evidence that points to Harington's return, including photos of the actor looking very Jon Snow-esque in Spain (one of GOT's filming locations). Plus, according to Pedestrian, HBO sent out an email promoting their "Honour The Fallen: The Memoriam Collection" toys. Basically, it's a sale of toys for dead characters on the show...and there wasn't a single mention of Jon Snow in the dearly departed list.
As for Harington, if Jon Snow's alive, he's doing a darn good job of keeping it a secret. "I've been told I'm dead," he said after the season five finale. "I'm dead. I'm not coming back next season." And according to HBO's president Michael Lombardo, Jon Snow is dead. Like, really dead. "Dead is dead is dead is dead," he told reporters. "He be dead...everything I've seen, heard or read, Jon Snow is dead."
