Heads up, “Game of Thrones” fans … After you’ve opened up your gifts and eaten all the holiday cookies, you’ll still have something to look forward to this season.
Winter is coming to HBO in the form of a “GoT” post-Christmas marathon.
HBO announced Wednesday that it will air every “Game of Thrones” episode in order between Dec. 26 and 31. Which means you can watch the show to your heart’s content.
Of course, the series is also available on HBO Go, but for those who want to curl up on the couch and watch the drama unfold old-school binge-watch style, there will be hours upon hours of programming available.
Hopefully, the marathon will help hold fans over until summer 2017. That’s when Season 7 will debut, a little later than the show’s usual spring premiere. Production has already kicked off on what’s expected to be just seven episodes instead of the series’ typical 10.

The family of a 13-year-old autistic girl says she has been threatened with legal action by HBO after she uploaded a Game of Thrones-inspired piece of artwork on the website RedBubble.
According to The Sun, Felicity Wilcox received a scary email from lawyers at HBO claiming her art breached copyright.
Wilcoxs artwork included the shows slogan Winter is coming above her design. Her father released a statement to The Sun about the alleged backlash from the network.
HBO should get a life… My daughter who happens to be autistic, was doing an art challenge called Huevember. It consisted of doing a piece of art based on a different color as you worked your way round a color wheel. She was uploading her pictures to a variety of sites and sharing them on Facebook. For this particular piece she decided to title it Winter is Coming.
Her artwork has since been republished without the slogan.
HBO did not return FOX411s request for comment.

Veteran British actor Peter Vaughan died Tuesday. He was 93.
The actor played Maester Aemon in the HBO hit series “Game of Thrones” from 2011-2015.
“This is to confirm that very sadly Peter Vaughan passed away at approximately 10:30 this morning,” the actor’s longtime agent, Sally Long-Innes, told the BBC. “He died peacefully with his family around him.”
Vaughan’s career spanned over 75 years. His notable works include the 1967 Frank Sinatra film “The Naked Runner.” He is also known for his work in the British sitcoms “Porridge,” “Citizen Smith,” “Chancer” and “Our Friends in the North.”
Born Peter Ohm in the central England county of Shropshire, Vaughan was married first to the late actress Billie Whitelaw, and then to Lillias Walker, who survives him.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Game Of Thrones has killed off many characters over the years, but at least one potential guest star on the Emmy-winning series won’t go down without a fight!
It’s been reported that UFC champ Conor McGregor is in talks to appear in one of the remaining two seasons of the fantasy hit!

According to The Sunday Life, the 28-year-old Dublin native was recruited by HBO to appear in an upcoming episode, as one of the directors is unsurprisingly a big UFC fan!
A source told the publication:
“It’s been agreed that McGregor will appear in one of the remaining two seasons of Game of Thrones. He was headhunted as it were by HBO, as one of the Game of Thrones directors is a huge UFC fan. They believed that he would be a perfect fit for the show.”
Any potential role for the MMA fighter is up for speculation, though his intimidating mug and combative Northern demeanor already make him a perfect Wildling.
Either way, McGregor already has experience facing off against some GoT adversaries.
Last year, he teamed up with Sir Gregor Clegane actor Hafpor Julius Bjornsson for an intense training session:
So, maybe the scrappy fighter will finally be the one to defeat The Mountain? (JK, that target has The Hound’s name all over it.)
Photo: Conor Shares Teen Girl’s Pic With Him & CROPS HER OUT!
McGregor added fuel to the rumors when he travelled to Belfast over the weekend for multiple appearances — where production just so happens to be currently filming season seven!
While there’s no official confirmation whether the Irish athlete will actually guest star, he’s gonna be pretty hard to kill off if he does!
Do YOU think McGregor will appear on GoT?

HBO is trying to make your holidays tolerable by releasing -themed wine. Yasss, Queen Cersei.
A California-based winery, Vintage Wine Estates, is pairing with the HBO hit to release a trio of red blend, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay wines, ranging from $19.99 to $39.99. So it’s a little pricey, but probs justified if you envision drinking said bottle of wine in the company of Jon Snow.
Seeing as GoT has already released a show-themed beer, it makes total sense to produce a line of Cersei and Tyrion’s fav beverage.
Game of Thrones, said Jeff Peters, Director of Licensing and Retail for HBO, in a statement. Game of Thrones.
So basically, when you’re bracing for millions of people to be brutally murdered on television, you can at least numb the pain with a great glass of wine. It’s what Tyrion Lannister would want.

Photos are coming.
The wait is over, “Game of Thrones” fans. The first images for Season 7 are here.
Watchers on the Wall reports that before Sunday’s “Westworld,” HBO aired a “Coming in 2017” preview, sharing the first official images for the new season. The video hasn’t been uploaded yet, but here are the photos captured by fans that have been shared by WOTW.
We see Sansa looking intently at something (possibly Sophie Turner adjusting her wig in the camera).
There’s Arya riding in on a horse, possibly doing her best impression of a worried Jon Snow face:
Then there’s an actual worried Jon Snow face. The King in the North has a lot on his mind:
Hmm … perhaps Jon Snow just found out something cray, like Lady Mormont isn’t in as many episodes as he expected. Or, maybe, he learned he has a twin?
We’re still holding out hope, anyway.
Fans are already jumping all over the images, and here is one of the first breakdowns of what to expect:
Prepare yourselves, crows. Winter has arrived.
“Game of Thrones” Season 7 is coming in 2017.

Your “Game of Thrones” viewing parties just got even better.
HBO announced it’s partnering with Vintage Wine Estates to create some “Game of Thrones” vino. And they’ll release the Seven Kingdom Wines collection in time for the series’ seventh season.
Jeff Peters, director of licensing and retail for HBO, told Entertainment Weekly, “Given the prominent role of wine on ‘Game of Thrones’ and our previous success in the beverage category, an officially licensed wine for the show feels like a natural extension for our fans.”
Yes, it definitely does.
The collection will feature a chardonnay, a proprietary red blend (which we might assume is House Lannister’s family favorite) and a cabernet sauvignon.
Feast your eyes on these regal-looking labels, which are expected to hit shelves this coming spring:
To tide you over for the next few months, thirsty fans can continue to drink the thematic “Game of Thrones” beers that Ommegang brews.
After all, beer pairs real well with Thanksgiving turkey.

When it comes to one “Game of Thrones” rumor, the North would like to forget.
Following the release of “Game of Thrones” Season 6 promo pictures, stories began spreading that Sansa would become pregnant. The big problem is that Ramsay Bolton would be the father.
Ramsay’s words from the Season 6 finale, “You can’t kill me. I’m part of you now,” only added to the speculation. (Warning: Stop reading now if you don’t want to hear about Season 7.)
This would all be terrible because you remember Ramsay …
(Sansa’s actually talking about Joffrey there, but you get the point. Her boyfriends stink.)
Thankfully, the gods are merciful, and we can finally put this rumor to rest.
“Game of Thrones” fanatic site Watchers on the Wall, which keeps the world up to date on leaks, reports that Sansa is officially not going to be pregnant in Season 7.
We repeat. Sansa WILL NOT be pregnant.
The Huffington Post previously spoke with “Game of Thrones” actor Liam Cunningham about the rumor. He shot it down, saying he believed Ramsay’s words were about being inside Sansa’s head.
“Unless he’s got one of those ‘Game of Thrones’ pregnancy sticks, he’s not gonna know,” said Cunningham.
Now we know for sure. And that’s how you go from Sansa baby to sans a baby.
Rock on, future Queen in the North!

Seth Meyers hilariously delved into Donald Trump’s less-than-smooth transition to power on Thursday.
The “Late Night” host explored how the president-elect’s cabinet picks were shaping up and how he was communicating with foreign heads of state (think premium rate phone numbers into Trump Tower.)
“Presidential transitions are delicate things and in the end, history remembers the presidency far more than the transition,” Meyers said. “But we’re starting to get signals from Trump takeover about how he’ll govern.”
“Reports of the inner workings of the transition have not been great,” the comedian said before agreeing with one journalist’s analogy of the process taking a decidedly “Game of Thrones” turn.

The British actor joins Alden Ehrenreich, who will play Solo, and Donald Glover, who was confirmed for the role of Lando Calrissian in the new film
Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke will swap dragons for intergalactic space travel after it was confirmed that she will join the cast of the yet-to-be-named Han Solo spin-off film.
The British actor joins Alden Ehrenreich, who will play Solo, and Donald Glover, who was confirmed for the role of Lando Calrissian in October.
The film is to take place before Star Wars: A New Hope and will focus on the formative years of Solo and Calrissian as they became space smugglers and, as Lucasfilms put it, scoundrels on the rise.
Clarkes confirmation as the female lead in the film comes after rumors that Tessa Thompson, Naomi Scott and Zoe Kravitz were in consideration for the role. Other actors in the running were relative unknown Kiersey Clemons and Clarkes fellow Game of Thrones star, Jessica Henwick.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens made more than $2bn at the box office while Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which opens in December, has been tipped to help its parent company, Disney Films, make a record-breaking $7bn at the box office in 2016.
The spin-off is scheduled to start filming in January and will come to the big screen in May 2018.

Shade is coming …
As one of the most popular shows on television, “Game of Thrones” is also one of the most criticized and scrutinized. Its portrayals of sex and violence have often called for creator George R. R. Martin and series actors and producers to defend it.
Now, “Game of Thrones” has a Stark message for critics: If you don’t like it, there’s the door …
Deleted and extended scenes included on the show’s Season 6 DVD release have hit the internet, and one moment in particular is standing out.
In scenes that aired beginning in Season 6, Episode 5, “The Door,” Arya visits a play in Braavos that is basically a mini version of some of the events we’ve seen in the series so far. Scenes include Robert Baratheon dying and Ned Stark losing his head. It’s all very meta. The theater troupe just adds a lot more farting.
In a scene that didn’t initially make it to our TVs and laptops, two women near Arya watch the play, constantly shaking their heads and looking displeased. (Psst! These women represent the critics.)
“Violence and profanity. How original,” one says.
Arya turns and retorts, “Why don’t you just leave, then?”
Oh, snap!
Eventually they do leave, adding a couple more comments: “utterly gratuitous” and “disgusting and unacceptable.” But there’s really no other option after getting served like that.
You can see this and the other scenes in the video below; Arya’s exchange happens around the 5:55 mark. Or, if you don’t like it, just don’t watch.

More “Game of Thrones” is coming … maybe.
We’ve heard rumors of a “Game of Thrones” movie or prequel for years now. (Years!) And apparently HBO is still pursuing that dream.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the network’s programming president Casey Bloys says HBO is stills in talks with author George R.R. Martin about another series.
Bloys said, “I would say it’s still kind of preliminary ongoing talks.”
The programming president didn’t specify which parts of Martin’s works could be adapted, but he added that HBO is exploring different “areas.”
What could those “areas” be? Let’s speculate, Crows.
Besides his A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the inspiration for “Game of Thrones,” Martin has his Dunk and Eggnovellas, which are prequels to the series. Plus, there is a lot of backstory with Robert’s Rebellion that fans want to see. Robert’s Rebellion is the war that put Robert Baratheon on the throne and eventually led to the craziness Westeros is going through now.
In any case, HBO is fighting to bring more “Thrones” to your faces.
As far as the possibility of expanding “Game of Thrones” Season 8 from the meager 6 episodes we’re reportedly getting, Bloys said, “I’ll take as much as we can get.”
In other words, your watch hasn’t ended just yet.
No, Jon Snow! Aren’t you listening? Not yet!

Donald Trump swindled his way into the White House by exploiting the most racist citizens in the country, leaving the rest of us to fear being led by a conniving man-child for the next four years.
Since few have more knowledge about unfit rulers and a looming apocalypse than George R.R. Martin, the Game Of Thrones author made a dire prediction on what’s to come for America — specifically, winter.
Related: Parks & Rec‘s Leslie Knope Pens Open Letter After Trump’s Win
On Wednesday, the mastermind behind the bloody fantasy series shared a blog post titled President P*ssygrabber, in which he lamented about the future state of the country under Trump’s rule.
“America has spoken. I really thought we were better than this. Guess not. Trump was the least qualified candidate ever nominated by a major party for the presidency. Come January, he will become the worst president in American history, and a dangerously unstable player on the world stage.”
That’s saying something coming from the guy who created Cersei Lannister!
GRRM also predicted things wouldn’t get better anytime soon — in fact, he writes:
“Over the next four years, our problems are going to get much, much worse.”
Seeing the discriminatory hate already beginning to boil from the underbelly of society, we think he may be right…

The wait is over, and HBO is likely losing its s**t. (Probably.)
The network has gone to great lengths to keep “Game of Thrones” under wraps since a major Season 5 leak had multiple unaired episodes hit the internet. In that time, HBO has taken more extensive security measures, including refraining from sending out screeners to the media.
But even a giant magic wall wouldn’t be able to stop the unrelenting leakers, and now it appears they’ve broken through. The entire Season 7 plot has supposedly landed on the internet.
HBO is probably all like:
Maybe, anyway.
Three weeks ago, it seemed ridiculous when Redditor awayforthelads posted spoilers for “Game of Thrones” Season 7 online. After all, we’ve seen leaks in the past that were obviously wrong once the season started.
Then, evidence started coming out that the leaks might be real. The account for awayforthelads was mysteriously deleted, and a recent spoiler reported by Watchers on the Wall seems to confirm a specific plot detail that Jon Snow would bring a wight to Westeros as proof that the White Walkers are coming.
If true, the leak completely spoils the major plot points of Season 7: Dany and Jon Snow end up “doing it” (Damn, Dany!), the Wall is coming down, Arya is killing Littlefinger, Jon is recognized as a Targaryen, and the White Walkers are going to take control of one of Dany’s dragons, just to name a few. (See them all here.)
HBO should be freaking the heck out, right? So why aren’t they?
When the Season 5 leaks came out, the network made a big hullabaloo about tracking down those responsible.
Well said, Cersei. HBO was ready to burn your cities to the ground!
But for Season 7, it’s mostly been quiet.
You know nothing about freakouts, HBO! Unless you just flipped the script on us:
Oh, shiz.
Actor Alexander Siddig, who played Prince Doran on the show, has already suggested that HBO was responsible for the Season 5 episode leaks. He thinks it was an inside job to build hype. And Watchers on the Wall, the site which reported the supposed wight scene that “confirmed” the recent leaks, even speculated HBO was trolling us after pictures showing Jon Snow on the beach with dragons hit the internet.
It’s also worth noting, as pointed out by Deadspin, that Redditor starkandlannister, who also claims to have insider Season 7 knowledge, refuted the leaks.
The Redditor also supports the HBO conspiracy theory, saying, “There is a possibility that the leaker knew some things but made up some of it. Maybe he only guessed some of it but guessed wrong. Or maybe he was someone who actually knew a lot of things but was intentionally trying to lead people the wrong way to hide some major events and surprises.”
Yeah, peeps. You can’t rule out the possibility that HBO is “leaking” information to throw us off. But if the leaks are legit, again, the White Walkers are getting a dragon.
In other words …

Game Of Thrones is one of the most exciting, epic shows on TV, and it doesnt get any better than when the characters have amazing conversations about how good it is that Baby Sinclair, from the ABC sitcom Dinosaurs, is in prison where he belongs. They talk about this all of the time, but these six episodes are definitely the most memorable.
Game Of Thrones opening episode kicked off the series in unforgettable fashion, introducing viewers to the incredible world of Westeros and laying the foundation for the fantasy epic that was about to unfold. One of the key moments of the episode is a scene shared by Tyrion Lannister and Jon Snow, in which Jon puts his hand on Tyrions shoulder and says, Tyrion, we may be from entirely different worlds, but there is one thing that binds us: We both rejoice every day that the baby from Dinosaurs is in prison. This touching moment is made all the more impactful when Tyrion looks Jon in the eyes and replies, From the moment he hatched from his egg, the wretched dinosaur Baby Sinclair did nothing but scream insults and make insane demands for food. He never shuts up, and he smashes his own father in the head with a frying pan. Im so happy hes in jail. Its a powerful moment of bonding between two outcasts and shows that, for all the violence and strife in Game Of Thrones, theres always a chance for peace and understanding.
Fire And Blood ended with one of the most iconic images in all of Game Of Thrones: Daenerys Targaryen emerging unscathed from the flames of her husbands funeral pyre carrying three newborn dragons. When her followers fall to their knees to worship her, she stands before them, triumphant, and cries out, I know God is real because the fucked-up Baby Sinclair is in jail, which is the ultimate justice. The horrible baby from ABCs Dinosaurs was foul-mouthed and rude. He was a pervert who creamed his own green father in the head with a frying pan! My greatest joy is imagining Baby Sinclair reaching his greedy dinosaur paws through the bar of his cell, begging for mercy that will not come! Its a breathtaking scene, and it absolutely deserves a spot on this list.
In this incredible episode featuring a massive surprise attack from the undead White Walkers, Jon Snow finds himself face-to-face with the dreaded Night King. With his back to the sea and nowhere to run, Jon has no options left but to show the Night King a drawing of the baby from Dinosaurs getting tortured on the rack.
The Night King looks at the picture, blows a kiss to it, and then rides away into the forest screaming, Yes! Yes! Yes! which is the first and only time he speaks in the entire series. Thanks to Jons quick thinking, he and his companions live to fight another day.
In this unforgettable episode, King Joffrey interrupts his wifes wedding vows to scream, The baby from ABCs Dinosaurs should be chained to the wall in a maximum-security prison! He is rude, and plus he is a pervert who screams for food at all hours of the night! He smacked his enormous green dad in the head with a frying pan! Disgusting! Jail is the only house for him! Now back to the wedding! In one of the most gruesome moments in the whole series, someone in the crowd shouts out that Baby Sinclair is, in fact, in jail, and Joffreys joy is so overpowering that every blood vessel in his body explodes, leaving him a hideous purple corpse. Its certainly an image that will stick with Game Of Thrones fans for a long time!
This masterpiece of modern television dedicated a full hour to a single, continuous shot of Tyrion Lannister inflating a large balloon in the shape of Baby Sinclair until it pops. It was a bold stylistic risk by the shows creators, but it paid off and gave us one of the most innovative moments in the history of television. When the balloon finally explodes and Tyrion tearfully screams, I murdered my own father with a crossbow, but not even I am enough of a dinosaur pervert to smack him in the head with a frying pan! its one of the most emotional moments in the entire series.
This unforgettable episode concludes with one of the most harrowing moments in the series: the wholesale slaughter of the Stark family known as The Red Wedding. Catelyn Stark is forced to watch in abject misery as her loyal soldiers are slaughtered in cold blood; as her daughter-in-law, Talisa, is stabbed to death with an unborn child in her womb; and most painfully of all, as her eldest son, Rob, is murdered right before her eyes. Finally, in one of the most emotional monologues of the whole show, Catelyn looks out over the carnage and says, My only comfort is that the perverted infant Baby Sinclair from ABCs Dinosaurs, sits rotting in a sunless jail cell, chained to the wall where he belongs. May he never see the light of day again, on account of he is so rude and he bonked his green dad in the head with a frying pan. She is then immediately murdered, bringing one of the most tragic scenes in Game Of Thrones history to a horrifying end.

“A Game of Thrones,” the first book in George R. R. Martin’s popular fantasy series, was published in 1996. Fifteen years and four books later, HBO picked the massive story to become a series on their channel. The show was an immediate success due to its existing fan base from the novels and plenty of viewers experiencing the excitement for the first time.
In the four and a half years since the series premiered, “Game of Thrones” has established itself as a cultural phenomenon in a way few other series have. The show’s theme, which was composed by Ramin Djawadi, has become hugely iconic as well, even being covered by popular bands like Chvrches. Having popular bands cover your theme song is one thing, but becoming so popular that the Queen’s Guards pay tribute puts “Game of Thrones” in a class of its own.

So, we always put that spoiler alert at the top of posts that reveal plot points from “Game of Thrones” or A Song of Ice and Fire. But there are “spoilers” and there are SPOILERS. And this post contains the latter. So stop right here if you don’t want to know some crazy stuff from Season 6 of the show.
…
Still here? OK. You were warned.
Today, invaluable “Game of Thrones” fan sites Watchers on the Wall and Winter Is Coming posted a whole bunch of information about a big Season 6 battle currently being filmed in Northern Ireland. We’ve known about this battle for more than a month: Kit Harrington was spotted participating in it, which is how we learned for sure that Jon Snow would come back from the dead in the next season.
We also already knew that people on set are calling it “The Battle of the Bastards” — because the two armies are led by Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton, formerly Ramsay Snow. Ramsay’s army will include fighters from many Northern houses, while Jon’s is made up largely of Wildlings.
But the new batch of leaks reveals some crucial — and insane — new details about this big battle, which is rumored to go down in Episode 9, traditionally the spot for the most dramatic moments of the season.
For starters, Jon’s forces will apparently include at least one giant — a creature second only to a dragon in terms of the damage it can wreak. On the other hand, there hasn’t yet been any evidence that the White Walkers or their zombie hordes are involved.
The biggest surprise, though, is the presence of someone who has nothing to do with the supernatural: Sansa Stark. Actress Sophie Turner has been spotted near the set of the battle. You may recall that at the end of Season 5, Sansa and Theon Greyjoy jumped off the walls of Winterfell to escape from the vile Ramsay.
It’s not yet clear how Sansa is involved — or, for that matter, whether her escape attempt was successful. She might have made it to Jon Snow, and could be helping his cause … or she might be Ramsay’s prisoner once again.
That’s an especially scary prospect, because Winter is Coming writes that Ramsay has been spotted “tying two known characters to X-crosses upside down and burning them during the fighting.” (The Bolton sigil is a flayed man upside down on an X-cross.) So if Ramsay managed to recapture Sansa and Theon, they might be the two characters he kills. If that’s the case, it would certainly be the most upsetting character death since the Red Wedding — and it might even be worse.
In the interest of ending on a high note, though, let’s venture, for a moment, even further into the dark realms of speculation. The best-case scenario for the battle might go like this: Sansa, Jon and maybe even Rickon reunite and lead a Wildling army against the Boltons, who are supported by much of the North. But when the other Northern houses see the two Stark children, they turn on Ramsay and win the battle. Then everyone lives happily forever after. Hurrah!
But wait. That still leaves two unidentified “known characters” burning on Ramsay’s cross. And we still have no idea what Littlefinger is up to: He said, in Season 5, that he would muster an army in the Vale and use it to invade the North. And even if the White Walkers don’t show up during the battle, they’re out there beyond The Wall, getting stronger by the day. So much for ending on a high note. In the world of “Game of Thrones,” there’s really no way to win.

The post These New ‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 6 Spoilers Are Mind-Blowing appeared first on TVShowVirals.com.
“Game of Thrones” will likely premiere later than normal next year.
Past seasons of HBO’s hit show have generally debuted sometime in early April; Season 3 hit the earliest, on March 31, while season 1 hit the latest, on April 17. So fans — with appetites for new material whetted by the many spoilers that have leaked out of the show’s set — have been hoping that Season 6 would follow a similar timeframe. Or even earlier!
But it looks like that’s not happening. Today, HBO announced that Martin Scorsese’s much-hyped rock drama “Vinyl” will start on Feb. 14, while comedies “Girls” and “Togetherness” are returning on Feb. 21. All three shows will run for 10 episodes — which implies that “Vinyl” won’t end until April 17, while the other two won’t end until April 24.
“Vinyl” will occupy the time slot — Sunday at 9 p.m. — that “Game of Thrones” normally does. So unless HBO decided to make the virtually unprecedented step of switching its biggest show to another night, the earliest it could possibly return is April 24, before the season finales of “Girls” and “Togetherness.”
Last season of “Game of Thrones,” though, was paired with “Silicon Valley” and “Veep,” not “Girls” and “Togetherness” — which would imply that “Game of Thrones” won’t premiere before May 1.
Yet even this seems like a dicey proposition: HBO generally leaves a week between its quirky “seasons.” If the network does so in this case, “Game of Thrones” might not start until May 8. Or even later!
HBO, for its part, told HuffPost that it has not yet set a premiere date for the show, and would not comment on how the air dates of “Vinyl,” “Girls” and “Togetherness” might affect “Game of Thrones,” with a representative nothing they “can’t confirm any dates at all.”
This is, needless to say, a major bummer.
There is one ray of light here though. Albeit a dim one. Season 6 will be the first season of “Game of Thrones” to cover material that hasn’t yet been covered in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire books. And no one knows when the next book in the series, The Winds of Winter, will be released. But many fans believe — based on a few scraps of news — that Martin is racing to finish this book in time to release it before the next season, in order to keep the show from spoiling the book.
This may be a stretch, but it’s not inconceivable that Martin and his publishers told HBO that they would be releasing The Winds of Winter on, say, April 30 — and HBO scheduled the show accordingly. That sounds a little convoluted, admittedly, but we are talking about the people behind Littlefinger and Varys. Convoluted secret plots are their lives.

“Game of Thrones” fans, you finally know something!
To keep fans interested and occupied, the show has come out with signature beer, board games like Risk and Monopoly and even collectible kits featuring statuettes of the Three-Eyed Raven and Jon Snow‘s sword Longclaw, but now HBO is finally giving us secrets, too.
(Warning! Spoilers are coming!)
A new book on the show from HBO and Running Press, Game of Thrones: The Noble Houses of Westeros, explains the different House sigils and history, and, in the process, reveals which characters are actually dead. And we just have one thing to say …
R.I.P., Myrcella Baratheon.

We’ve heard over and over that Stannis is actually dead, which the book also confirms, but Myrcella has been a mystery, until now. Noble Houses explains:
Betrothed to Trystane Martell, son of Prince Doran, she was poisoned by Ellaria Sand, who wished to avenge the death of her lover Oberyn Martell. Myrcella died in the arms of Jamie Lannister, who she acknowledged as her father before her death.
“Died in the arms of Jamie Lannister, who she acknowledged as her father before her death.” OK, gosh, we get it. She dead.
When The Huffington Post spoke with Areo Hotah actor DeObia Oparei earlier this year, even he wouldn’t confirm whether Myrcella was actually dead for fear it was a spoiler, but now it’s all in the open. Thanks, HBO.
Along with Stannis and Myrcella, the book also confirms the death of Arya’s sword-fighting instructor, Syrio Forel. In a passage on former Kingsguard Meryn Trant, it says Arya holds Trant responsible for Syrio’s death. Syrio’s fate has been speculated about for a while, with some fans thinking he may have survived his fight with Trant, but nope. He dead, too.
So just to recap: hide your kids, hide your wife, hide your husband, ’cause they’re killing everybody’s favorite characters out here.

The post ‘Game Of Thrones’ Reveals Another Character Is Officially Dead appeared first on TVShowVirals.com.
Game of Thrones fans, today is your lucky day.
Earlier this evening, one of GoT’s newest cast members, Elie Haddad, leaked some season six spoilers after Instagramming a page from the script.
Though Haddad deleted the Instagram moments after posting it, some crafty fans were able to screenshot the image and decipher the minuscule text.
The scene seems to involve two Dothraki talking about Khaleesi. The dialogue, interpreted by Zap2it, is as follows:
‘Shes paler than milk,’one character says, referring to the Khaleesi in this instance, most likely Daenerys (Emilia Clarke).
The other replies, ‘I bet she gets nice and pink when you pinch her.’
From there, one says, ‘Id like to know what a Khaleesi tastes like,’ while the other fires back, ‘Good. You can suck my d***.’
Gotta love HBO.
The sixth season of Game of Thrones premiereson HBO next spring.
