Answering Those Burning Questions: Does The Science Behind 'Game Of Thrones' Doom Another Dragon?
As a Dothraki horde of millions tuned in for Game of Thrones Season 7, fans of the show relished in all the death, dragons, and destruction (sometimes at the same time) that they have come to expect from HBO's frosty fantasy. However, as we wait for Season 8 of the sensational saga to take flight, there is some worrying news sent by raven over the skies of Westeros.

You'll Want These TV Witches On Your Side When Evil Comes A-Knockin'
Witches have gotten a bad rap over the years. Most of the time, they can be portrayed as green-faced hags with warts and hooked noses and labeled "evil" because their powers are otherworldly. Take the Wizard of Oz's Wicked Witch of the West, portrayed by Margaret Hamilton, as a prime example. We can thank her the tinted complexion, which can immediately come to mind when we hear the word "witch," but it wasn't to make her appear any creepier than she already was. But it wasn't her skin tone that gave the Wicked Witch of the West so much influence over the creation of witches in the next two and a half decades. It was the clear lack of redeemable qualities. She was clearly a villain and enjoyed the role. It wasn't until 1964 and the introduction of Bewitched's Samantha Stevens that viewers caught a glimpse of a witch that had a good heart.

A 'Stark' Reminder Of Who's In Charge: 'Game Of Thrones' Stars Discuss Their Weird Reunion In Season 7
Forget your battlefield BBQs or poisonous parting words, Season 7 of HBO's Game of Thrones will surely be remembered as "The One Where They All Meet." Continuing a season of epic reunions and first-time chinwags, the episode "The Spoils of War" finally saw Sansa and Arya Stark come back together in a tear-jerking homecoming. They may have hated each other's guts at times, but putting their sibling rivalry behind them, the Stark girls finally got their emotional reunion in the crypts of Winterfell.

Ice To Meet You: War Comes To Westeros In 'Game Of Thrones' Promo For 'Eastwatch'
Gasp! There are only three episode left in Game of Thrones Season 7, and while we don't know how HBO can top the action, it looks like we're going to try pretty damn hard to do so. We already saw climactic "The Spoils of War" heat up on the battlefield, but it looks like next week's "Eastwatch" will be cooling down as we head toward the season's end. However, just because Dany has stopped charring Lannisters, don't expect things to be any less dangerous for our seasoned survivors. So, wrap up warm and practice your best zombie shuffle as we check out the promo for Season 7's "Eastwatch."

Kill Lil (Finger): Did 'Game of Thrones' Just Add Littlefinger To Arya Stark's List?
She's making a list, she's checking it twice, Arya Stark's going to find out who's been naughty or nice. As Game of Thrones powers ahead in Season 7, we see Arya Stark become the hardened assassin that we have always known she could be, and while it is great fan service for Thrones aficionados, it means big trouble for some key players in Westeros.

You Gotta Fight For Your Right: Arya's 'Game Of Thrones' Fight With Brienne References Her Entire History
Game of Thrones once again tried to top itself as Season 7 of HBO's fantasy epic continues its run of "best episodes ever." However, while "The Spoils of War" had one hell of a Stark reunion, we all remember the episode for one particular fight scene between two favorite characters. Forget Cleganebowl (for now), let's talk about the Wolf vs. the Giant.

Hungry Eyes: Dany Was '85% Sure' Drogon Wouldn't Eat Jon In That 'Game Of Thrones' Scene
There is no denying that the Seven Kingdoms got a lot smaller in Season 7 of Game of Thrones, and pretty much anyone who was anyone in Westeros broke bread or promises. Jon met Dany, Arya met Nymeria, Cersei met her enemies, and Littlefinger met his maker (sob), but there was one particular pow-wow that was more dangerous than most. When you are trying to woo the Mother of Dragons, it is probably best not to forget that you have to get past her own personal guard dog before you can head below deck and send that ship a-rockin'.

Breaking The Iron Bank: 'Game Of Thrones' Season 8 Will Have The Show's Most Expensive Episodes Yet
With iron thrones, extravagant weddings, and gilded halls, there is no denying that the Seven Kingdoms aren't exactly short of a bob or two. It is easy to see how the sprawling spectacle that is HBO's Game of Thrones is currently one of the most expensive shows on television thanks to its nautical brawls, CGI dragons, and paying to keep Emilia Clarke in a spiffing blonde wig.
