The Football Team In <i>Euphoria</i> Is Complete Trash
It has been two weeks since the finale of HBO’s R-rated Riverdale knock-off, Euphoria, aired to glowing reviews. Everyone wants to talk about how the show found its earnest heart, and whether Jules will come back, and how all the teens may be doomed by sexting and drugs, but no one wants to talk abo...
Aaron Rodgers Really Didn't Like How <i>Game Of Thrones</i> Ended
Part-time Game of Thrones extra and full-time Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers talked to reporters at OTAs this afternoon and finally clarified which redshirt he was in the show’s fifth episode this season.

Some Major Plot Points From The Final Two <i>Game Of Thrones </i>Episodes Seem To Have Leaked
There are only three hours left of Game of Thrones—HBO’s worldwide phenomenon about horsey rides and secret dalliances with your relatives—and plenty of major characters still have arcs that need to be resolved. Thankfully, most of the major characters have unlocked the fast travel perk, and will a...
Cersei Lannister Is Smarter Than All These Morons
Cersei was right! That’s the main takeaway from “The Long Night,” the deliriously silly and nonsensical third episode of the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones, which aired last night. Not only is Cersei Lannister smarter than everybody else in Westeros, she has definitively proven that you ...
Something Bad's Going To Happen In That Crypt, Huh?
We’re now two episodes into the final season of Game of Thrones—HBO’s hit show that asks, How bad is it, really, to smooch your nephew?—and so far, not a lot has happened. There should be a severe uptick in action next week, and some of it will most likely involve a crypt....

Here Is My Super Cool Plan To Save <i>Kevin Can Wait</i>
According to a report from Jezebel (Gizmodo Media Group’s shark blog), hit CBS sitcom Kevin Can Wait has been canceled after two seasons and 48 laugh-packed episodes.

<i>Game Of Thrones</i> Has Finally Unleashed The Apocalypse<em></em>
At one point in A Storm of Swords, the third installment in the book series adapted into Game of Thrones, Bran Stark and his companions are wanderin’ through the woods when the messiah prince (who is also, after all, just a bored lonely little kid) requests a story. Meera Reed launches into a tale a...

George R.R. Martin, author of the acclaimed A Song of Ice and Fire novels and also a friend of Deadspin, recently did an interview with Metro, in which he spoke about the differences between his books and Game of Thrones, as well as whether or not he’s working on writing The Winds of Winter. He clai...
<i>Game Of Thrones </i>Finally Pits Ice Against Fire
Game of Thrones began with our supposed hero laughing off a warning that an icy apocalypse was nigh. One of Ned Stark’s first scenes showed him beheading a deeply freaked out Night’s Watch deserter, who used his last breath to warn Ned that winter was coming....

All The Best Cowboys Are Heading North Of The Wall
All Westerns are set at the end of the world. In most of the genre’s staples, the specific reasons why this particular gunslinger is in this particular town fighting this particular scoundrel quickly fade away. Stories of discovery and exploration take place in unforgiving environments, places where...
<i>Game Of Thrones</i> Is Only Just Starting To Burn It All Down
There is a tension at the heart of both Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire, a contradiction which threatens to swallow the world and our heroes whole if they don’t manage it properly: How do you save the world without breaking it in the process? If you burn everything down to win, what’s the...
Here's Everything That Happens In The Leaked Episode Of <i>Game Of Thrones, </i>Which Rules
Earlier this week, someone hacked HBO and made off with a fuckton of data (1.5 terabytes, they claim), which apparently included thousands of internal documents and an executive’s financial data. It also probably includes a lot more. If that 1.5 terabyte figure is accurate, then this is one the bigg...
<i>Game Of Thrones </i>Is Letting Cersei Cook
Lena Headey is all wildfire. There’s an unmistakable spring in Cersei Lannister’s step this season, as if the Sept of Baelor blows up behind her eyelids every time she blinks. Her arc really ended there, in that glorious green catharsis, and now she’s basking in the aftermath. All hail the Queen of ...
Maester Qyburn's Big Anti-Dragon Crossbow Looks Stupid
Game of Thrones—HBO’s hit show about camping and horny sailors—has made it very clear that the trio of dragons possessed by Daenerys Targaryen are Westeros’s ultimate weapons of destruction. She’s torched one proud city with them already, and the only reason King’s Landing didn’t go up in flames on...
<i>Game Of Thrones</i> Is Finally Starting To Converge
One of the major selling points of this season of Game of Thrones, one brought to the fore more in the kinetic “Stormborn” than the place-setting “Dragonstone,” is that the show’s far-flung narratives are finally coming back together, revolving around the three power bases of Team Dany, Team Cersei,...
