George R.R. Martin hinted at a Game of Thrones prequel at last night’s Emmys, saying, “I do have thousands of pages of fake history of everything that led up to Game of Thrones, so there’s a lot of material there and I’m writing more.” And that would be great news IF HE HAD ALREADY FINISHED THE GAME OF THRONES SERIES. WHICH HE HAS NOT. WHY WON’T SOMEONE LOCK HIM IN HIS HOUSE IN SANTA FE AND NOT LET HIM OUT UNTIL THOSE BOOKS ARE DONE?
Here’s another glimpse at Westworld, and what to expect from HBO’s next big drama:
Y’all, Y’ALL. Richard Dreyfuss is not Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ dad. Their names aren’t even spelled the same way, guys.
Speaking of the Emmys, Leslie Jones knows how to Emmys.
Can someone go check in on Corey Feldman and let us know if he’s OK?
Roadies, a show that somehow inadvertently inspired the name of this website, has been canceled after one very mediocre — sometimes terrible — season. I am still angry about that Rainn Wilson blogger episode.
It’s looking like Homeland will probably end after the 8th season.
Get well soon, Rupert Friend! But I’m glad this means Quinn will be very much alive on Homeland this season. (Wait, is that a spoiler?)
And hope you’re feeling better, Gemma Whelan! Be careful on those slippery Game of Thrones sets, girl!
The Good Wife‘s spinoff premise has been revealed: Diane loses all of her money in a financial scam, has to join a new law firm. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
