Unless you’ve been locked up in the Dreadfort wondering what’s in Ramsay Bolton’s sausage, then you’ve probably heard by now: Game of Thrones Season 5 premieres on Sunday, and the whole world is pretty damn psyched about it. We mean, like, literally the whole world. The episode will air simultaneously in over 170 countries, a move that’s likely to bring in record ratings worldwide. If you’re anything like the producers of Vikings, you might be wondering what it is that makes GoT so wildly popular. Well, there’s the incredibly intricate world that the show has built over four seasons; the witty repartee amongst complex, fully-realized characters; the political intrigue; the… Oh who are we kidding? It’s all about the blood and boobs. We’ve already covered the hottest women in Game of Thrones , so now onto the other reason your 13-year-old nephew just signed up for HBO Now: View Slideshow: 9 Shocking Game of Thrones Deaths The slideshow above offers a quick refresher on some of the more memorable deaths from Game of Thrones’ first four seasons. As for who will eat it this year, well, your guess is as good as ours. We’re sure you can scroll down to the comments for unwanted spoilers from book-readers, if you’re so inclined. One thing that’s great about GoT is that we know that several people will shuffle off the mortal coil, and at least one of them will be a major character. Lots of shows kill off scores of minor nobodies (We’re looking at you, The Walking Dead!), but what makes GoT is the fact that anyone can go at any time. Okay, just about anyone. We’re pretty sure fan favorites Daenerys and Tyrion are safe for the time being, but from the moment Ilyn Payne made Ned Stark a head shorter in season one, you knew there was no character too big for this show to kill off. So peep out the gallery above for some traumatizing flash cards and then watch Game of Thrones online at TV Fanatic to get caught up for the finale. We won’t tell anyone if you pause the nude scenes.
Last year, we compiled a list of the 13 hottest women on Game of Thrones . At the time, it was pretty thorough, but this show regularly introduces more new characters than a beginners’ class on the Chinese language, so a new season means a new list of medieval hotties: 16 Hottest Women on Game of Thrones 1. Shae View Attachment It’s not hard to see what Tyrion sees in Shae. She’s a lover in a world full of fighters…and she’s good at what she does. 2. Osha View Attachment A little rough around the edges but we’re sure she cleans up well. Plus wildling sex is probablylike nothing you’ve ever imagined. 3. Sansa Stark View Attachment Sansa’s so hot we’re willing to forget that she once had a thing for Joffrey. in that sense, she’s basically the Selena Gomez of Westeros. 4. Ygritte View Photo If you’re into the badass chicks, Ygritte’s the one for you. Just know that if you skip out on her, it’ll probably be the last thing you do.

Melisandre View Attachment The night is dark and full of terrors…but it’s also full of impure thoughts about the Red Priestess. 7. Talisa Stark View Attachment Talisa was briefly married to Robb Stark. Fun fact: she’s played by Charlie Chaplin’s granddaughter! Not so fun fact: she died the most horrible death imaginable! 8. Margaery Tyrell View Attachment How do all the hottest women end up with King Douche, Joffrey? Actually, we guess it works that way in real life too. Advertisement A message from our sponsor. 9. Ros View Attachment Ros was the most beautiful prostitute in the North. Unfortunately, like Ned Stark, her decision to relocate to King’s Landing had tragic results. 10. Ellaria Sand View Attachment Ellaria Sand is one exotic Dornish beauty. We hear she’s newly single. 11. Cersei Lannister View Photo As hot as she is evil. Okay, she might be slightly more evil, but she’s still super hot. 12. Missandei View Attachment Missandei is so hot even eunuchs can’t look away. Now THAT’s an achievement. Advertisement A message from our sponsor. 13. Daenerys Targaryen View Photo C’mon! You knew the Khaleesi was gonna come in at number one! That Daario Naharis is a lucky dude! 14. Nymeria Sand View Photo Nymeria Sand is one of Oberyn Martell’s illegitimate daughters. Clearly, she’s inherited her father’s good looks…and his blood lust. 15. Obara Sand View Photo Obara Sand is another of Oberyn’s many children. She’s every bit as badass as she looks. 16. Tyene Sand View Photo Don’t let Tyene’s pretty face fool you. She’s every bit as deadly as her father, the Red Viper of Dorne. Advertisement A message from our sponsor. The End. Up Next: ” 16 Hottest Women on Game of Thrones .” We’ll be redirecting you shortly… The big addition this year comes in the form Oberyn Martell’s daughters, who have unfortunately been saddled with the decidedly un-sexy nickname of “the Sand Snakes.” But don’t let the serpentine moniker fool you. In response to the [SPOILER ALERT] ugly death of the Red Viper , the Sand Snakes set out seeking vengeance. And they look damn good doing it. The list above is presented in no particular order (It’s not like the hotness of the Khaleesi can really be contested.), so just click through and enjoy. Granted, there are a lot of Game of Thrones characters who look completely different in real life , but the show’s costume and makeup departments get a lot of help from some serious natural beauty. In the real Middle Ages, body odor and missing teeth no doubt made things decidedly less sexy than the world created by George R.R. Martin, but hey – that’s why they call it fantasy, right? We’re forever in debt to GRRM and the GoT showrunners for giving us an alternate version of history in which seductive, supernatural priestesses regularly bare their boobs. Oh, and the dragons are cool, too. The show returns for season 5 one week from today, so if you need to get caught up in time, don’t forget to watch Game of Thrones online at TV Fanatic.
Winter is not coming. As millions of irritated Americans know by now, winter is here . But dragons are definitely coming to Game of Thrones Season 5; fully grown, dangerous dragons that we’re afraid Daenerys won’t even be able to control. Along those lines, check out the first official poster for the return of this epic drama… and someone tell Tyrion to run! It appears as if everyone’s favorite diminutive Westeros resident is on a ship in this image, which makes sense. When we last saw Tyrion, he had put multiple arrows into the chest of his toilet-bound father (ummm…. SPOILER ALERT!) and went on the lam. Does this poster tease imminent death for Tyrion? George R.R. Martin did recently tease a handful of shocking deaths to come. They will even take book followers by surprise. HBO has also released the first clip from Game of Thrones Season 5 . It features Jon Snow and Mance: Game of Thrones Season 5 Clip Game of Thrones Season 5 will take viewers to Dorne for the first time and premiere on Sunday, April 12. It’s safe to say we’re excited. 13 Game of Thrones Stars in Earlier Roles 1.

It’s been a krazy kouple weeks for the Kardashians. Did you hear that Kourtney Kardashian got dumped in the delivery room, despite now having yet given birth to her third child? Or that Kim Kardashian was betrayed by her siblings? And that she’s also pregnant again? And that she’s been let go as a wife by Kanye West ?!? These stories would vary from interesting to shocking to emotional to dramatic… if they were remotely true. But because Kim Kardashian and her family don’t actually do anything in order to be famous (no, taking Instagram selfies doesn’t count; or, sadly, maybe it does in this day and age), supermarket tabloids must make stuff up about them in order to move copy. And make stuff up they sure do! From plastic surgery rumors to baby and cheating chatter, here’s a run down off 55 recent cover stories that are hilariously untrue: 55 Krazy Kardashian Tabloid Kover Klaims 1. Kim Kardashian Butt Problems Oh no! Kim Kardashian’s butt won’t stop growing! What will the reality star do?
Today is George R.R. Martin’s 66th birthday, and he certainly has a lot to celebrate. He’s one of the world’s best-selling authors, there’s a wildly successful television series based on his work, and he makes life miserable for millions of people on a regular basis. Yes, if you’re one of the 18 million people who watched Game of Thrones last season, you might hate GRRM even though you’ve never actually read his work. And we’re right there with you. On countless occasions, Martin has ripped our hearts out and cast them aside like Theon Greyjoy’s severed wang: 7 Game of Thrones Scenes That Are Tough to Watch 1. Bran’s Winterfell Fall When a lovable kid gets paralyzed early in the story, you know the guy telling tale isn’t gonna spare your feelings. But like a handlebar mustache on a hipster’s lip, our hate is thoroughly ironic. We hate George because we so deeply love the world that he’s created with his A Song of Ice and Fire books that the death of even a minor character can feel like a real-life tragedy. Based on his interviews, we know that Martin loves nothing more than shocking Game of Thrones fans with moments like Ned Stark’s beheading or Oberyn Martell’s eye-popping demise (retroactive spoiler alert if you’re behind on the story). So for his 66th name day, we can’t think of a better present than to tell George that we truly love his ability to make us hate him. So relax and enjoy some meat and mead, Mr. Martin. Then hurry up and finish the damn books.
