The New Play Game of Thrones: The Mad King Reveals the Key to Robert’s Rebellion... and Even More About the Untold History of Westeros (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Game of Thrones: The Mad King is the new stage tie-in to George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. The play has just opened at the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Stratford theatre in England, and is expected to transfer to London’s West End. Then, potentially, it could travel around the world in the footsteps of the Stranger Things stage show, The First Shadow. The three-plus-hour play opens some Westerosi backstory that has not been explored before, except on the page. Here’s what we learned fr
House of the Dragon's Season 3 Finale Had Little Sense of an Ending... But a Spectacular Battle That Leaves Everything in Play for the Last Season (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Full spoilers follow for House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 8, “The Traitors of Tumbleton.” Back in the day, Game of Thrones typically delivered its big action beats in a season’s penultimate episode and spent the finale wrapping up loose ends and setting the stakes for the following year. House of the Dragon is a different beast: this season began and ended with all-out war, and if anything, this finale leaves too many loose ends dangling. If it’s less punch-the-air satisfying than the seaso
The Targaryens Remind Us Why Their Civil War Is Called the Dance of Dragons in This Week's Lizard-Rich Episode of House of the Dragon (opens the original)

Full spoilers follow for House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 7. There’s a great fundamental issue at the heart of House Targaryen that has too often gone unexamined and underexplained in House of the Dragon, despite its name, and that’s how the dragons work. This show has followed its predecessor’s example in leaning into the human drama of Westeros and away from its more fantastical aspects, but there’s a limit to how well that works, and in this engaging and generally fun episode (unless you

Full spoilers follow for House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 6. Farewell, Criston Cole, we hardly knew ye. Well, we enjoyed hating you in Season 1, mostly forgot you existed in Season 2 and have been reminded that you have some game this year, thanks to your adoption of both guerilla warfare and an air of gloomy resignation. Also, to give credit where it's due, thanks to a killer opening battle scene this time – and that was just the start of another really strong episode. That opener, a battl
"A Feast for Traitors": House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 5 Sees Armies on the March and Team Black in the Crosshairs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Full spoilers follow for House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 5. Is Rhaenyra paranoid, or is someone really out to get her? Well, definitely the latter – but she might also be paranoid, and that’s the problem. There is plotting on all sides: some relatively benign, and some potentially lethal, and it’s hard to tell where the real dangers are coming from. Things continue tense, in other words, and that is keeping this show as gripping as Game Of Thrones ever was. We open on a frustrated Lord Osc
