Here are some pictures from the upcoming episode of Game of Thrones. I AM SO NERVOUS, YOU GUYS.
Bryan Cogman, the author of this past episode of Game of Thrones, “A Knight of Seven Kingdoms,” has confirmed that his Game of Thrones spinoff project is not moving forward: “I’m definitely leaving. I was developing one of the successor shows with George. George has worked with a bunch of the writers, including Jane [Goldman], whose show is being done [as a pilot]. My prequel show is not happening and will not happen. HBO decided to go a different way. I’m working with Amazon now and helping them out with their shows. So, it is a goodbye. I am done with Westeros. It’s wonderfully bittersweet.”
Hasan Minhaj has zero fucks to give. This is what having courage of your convictions looks like:
People are streaming The Office more than any other show on Netflix. Sure is going to be a shame when that license runs out.
Bones, Criminal Minds, and Pawn Stars: the three shows that everyone in our divided America can agree upon.
