Eastwatch was a quieter episode of Game of Thrones compared to the previous week, as pieces were moved to set up a climactic final two episodes this season. However, this episode did have a moment that was monumental in its implications. While Sam was copying books and scrolls as punishment for curing Ser Jorah, Gilly

Winter is here and this season of Game of Thrones is continuing to snowball. Every episode has ramped up the stakes and each battle is bigger than the last. Last week’s episode concluded with the lamely-named Loot Train Attack (seriously, Field of Fire 2 was available). Despite the name, this incredible battle was one of
After the face-melting and masterful The Spoils of War, Game of Thrones heads into the back half of this shortened season with Sunday’s Eastwatch.

Game of Thrones is racing along at a breakneck pace this season and developments are coming fast and furious. The war appears to be ramping up this week in the fourth episode of the season, The Spoils of War. Thus far this season has been one of memorable moments, of first meetings and reunions, with sparks
HBO has a bigger problem than winter or white walkers as now hackers have come to Winterfell — allegedly getting away with the script to next week’s episode of Game of Thrones and more. On Sunday an email was sent to multiple reporters that read: “Hi to all mankind. The greatest leak of cyber space
