The original pilot for “Game of Thrones” was virtually unrecognizable compared to the one shown to audiences in 2011. Everything from hairstyles to actors to major scenes had to be reconsidered after the initial pilot failed to land with HBO executives in the early stages of the show’s development.

“Game of Thrones” stars Daniel Portman, Gemma Whelan, Iwan Rheon, Kristian Nairn, and Natalia Tena are among the Hollywood celebrities who will play virtual games of Dungeons & Dragons to raise money for charity.

Send a raven: Two “Game of Thrones”-centric subreddits landed at the top of Reddit’s TV communities this year and the one that took the Iron Throne (or at least what’s left of it) is actually the board known for refusing to bend the knee to the now-ended HBO series.

English actress and HBO’s “Game of Thrones” series star Emilia Clarke has made a surprising reveal about how she handled a potentially questionable proposal at one of the projects she worked on. Speaking during an Armchair Expert podcast, Emilia mentioned how she was told that not stripping during some scenes would be a disappointment for GoT fans, adding that she’s actually “a lot more savvy” now with what she feels comfortable with.

The new series will focus on House Targaryen and be set 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones.

Game of Thrones’ finale was divisive, to say the least, namely because the fantasy epic fans invested the best part of a decade to have their ending rushed into six episodes. There were countless storylines that never wrapped up, questions that will never be answered and now creator George RR Martin has lashed out at HBO producers for forcing him to throw the spotlight on characters he otherwise wouldn’t have and cutting the finale short.

George R.R. Martin saw firsthand the fury of the internet during the final season of “Game of Thrones.” The six-episode Season 8 divided television viewers like no series in recent memory thanks to polarizing storytelling decisions. The outage was so inescapable that an online petition to remake Season 8 went viral with over 1.5 million signatures. During a recent appearance on Leonard Maltin’s movie podcast, recorded weeks after “Thrones” wrapped its run, Martin said he’s never seen anything like the “madness” that runs across the internet.

Well, kind of.

The final season of “Game of Thrones” drew lots of attention, not only for gaffes involving modern drinkware being left on screen, but also for what some fans deemed as poor writing and disappointing resolutions to beloved characters’ storylines.

In the span of just a few weeks, we saw two of the most adored franchises of our time reach a concluding chapter. But while Avengers: Endgame was a triumph, Game of Thrones’ final days was dissatisfying. There’s good reason why these two beloved stories came to such utterly different conclusions.

Redditors from the /r/Freefolk subreddit, angry at how Game of Thrones’ final season has played out, briefly succeeded is getting a picture of its showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff to rank for the search term “bad writers.” Both Metro and Business Insider were able to verify the success of the campaign, although searching for the same term now returns images from these news articles rather than from the Reddit post itself.

Game of Thrones is sprinting toward its ending, but HBO, George RR Martin and fans all agreed that it should have taken its time with more seasons.

Varys is dead after the penultimate episode of “Game of Thrones,” and actor Conleth Hill isn’t holding back when reflecting on his time on the HBO fantasy series. In an exit interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor expressed disappointment with the series for sidelining his fan favorite character over the last couple seasons. When asked if there was something he wished Varys got to do on the show, Hill noted his character was robbed of having a last meeting with nemesis Littlefinger in Season 7.

Joe Dempsie is known around the world as Gendry Baratheon from “Game of Thrones,” but he would have been Jon Snow had his first audition for HBO’s fantasy series been successful. In a new interview with Esquire, Dempsie revealed he got rejected by “Thrones” three times for three different roles before reluctantly doing a fourth audition for Gendry and landing the part.

There were plenty of things to enjoy and lots more to nitpick in this week’s episode of Game Of Thrones, but one thing we can all agree was absolute bullshit was Jon Snow’s half-assed goodbye to his sweet, loyal boy Ghost. Soon after the episode aired, Twitter exploded with people’s reactions to Jon’s unwillingness to pet his damn dog, but now episode director David Nutter has come out of hiding to provide some answers and put all other theories to rest.
