Reed game of thrones

DAENERYS Targaryen’s murder at the hands of Jon Snow left fans heartbroken in the Game of Thrones finale. But perhaps most devastated of all was Drogon, the silver-haired leader’s only surviving dragon, who she raised from birth. The majestic beast was so crushed by the loss of its mother that it melted the Iron Throne with its fiery breath after realising she had been killed. It subsequently grabbed her body in its claws and flew off into the distance, leaving many perplexed about what came next. Amid rising speculation from fans that Drogon could have eaten Daenerys, show runners David Benioff and Dan Weiss felt compelled to address the matter. In an interview included in the final season’s DVD and Blu-ray special features, the pair insisted that Drogon would never do such a thing.Most read in TV and Showbizgirls on tour Kendall Jenner straddles Bella Hadid and wears a thong bikini in Miami IN THE BUFF Caitlyn strips naked for jungle shower after disgusting I'm A … [Read more...] about Game of Thrones bosses finally confirm what Drogon did with Daenerys’ body after Jon Snow stabbing

EMILIA Clarke has admitted that she found herself in "hell" as she prepared to film her final speech in the Game Of Thrones language Dothraki. The British actress starred as Daenarys Targaryen, also known as Mother of Dragons, in the hit HBO series and spent eight years learning the language. However, in a new featurette she acknowledged that one of her final speeches in the hit series was so anxiety-inducing that it "ate her up". "I knew that speech was going to be really important, and I spent a huge amount of time learning it," Emilia revealed in a new featurette called Duty is the Death of Love. "I’m being so brutally honest here – I was in hell learning that speech. This pretend language was literally eating me up. I couldn’t do it. Yet when it came to step in front of the cameras, she got it "word perfect"."I woke up in the morning, went on, and it all came out. I was probably fighting not what I was fighting, but what Dany was doing," she suggested.

FANS of The Witcher have been left confused by the lack of gore and 'jarring' sound effects in a preview of a Henry Cavill fight scene. The Superman actor takes on the role of supernatural monster hunter Geralt of Rivia in the Netflix series, which has been dubbed 'the new Game of Thrones'. But after Henry, 36, shared a first look at one of the show's many fight scenes during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's chat show, fans have been left a little bemused. After Geralt is seen swinging his sword and fighting his way around a banqueting hall, viewers took to Twitter to discuss the scene and how it seemed a bit odd. One wrote: "Umm. Hopefully the final product is better? Sound doesnt even match the hits." Another tweeted: "This looks really bad : ( the hits dont match with the sounds, most of the hits very obviously dont hit, and a lot more issues in just this single scene."A third agreed, writing: "I really hope this has been cut for a promo and the editing isn’t actually this … [Read more...] about Henry Cavill previews The Witcher fight scene – but fans confused by lack of gore and ‘jarring’ sound effects

Early in the morning on 21 March, in Mosul’s flat and dusty al-Baker neighbourhood, a school principal named Ustad Ahmad went to see his mother. It was the start of the new year holiday of Nowruz, and she asked if they could go to the cemetery to visit his father’s grave. Ahmad had other ideas. He was planning to take his wife and children to an amusement park, as a reward for the boys’ full marks in their recent exams. Besides, he told his mother, he didn’t want to be reminded of death on such a beautiful spring day. Back home, after breakfast with the boys, Ahmad sat on a wooden chair in the bathroom for his weekly shave. Then, preparing to go out, he put on his new summer blazer, a pair of jeans and the wraparound sunglasses his wife had recently bought for him. Tall and burly, Ahmad was a very proud man – proud of his status among his colleagues, the comfort and neatness of his house, his smart and witty boys, his beautiful baby daughter and above all, … [Read more...] about ‘I’ve seen death in this city, but nothing as sad as this’: how a ferry disaster exposed the corruption devastating Iraq

The Mountain Bothies Association (MBA) is a charity made up of volunteers who maintain more than 100 remote shelters across England, Wales and Scotland. It was founded in 1965 by Bernard Heath after he spotted a remark in the visitor book at the Backhill of the Bush bothy in Galloway Forest park, suggesting the setting up of a club to save a growing number of deserted farm buildings from ruin. Plaque on the door of a bothy maintained by the MBA Heath realised that a collective effort was needed to keep the abandoned cottages and huts weatherproof in order “to maintain simple shelters in remote country for the use and benefit of all who love wild and lonely places”. The MBA’s first restoration project was at Tunskeen, also in the Galloway Forest. Bothying predates the creation of the MBA, stretching back to the 1930s with the rise in popularity of hillwalking, when groups would shelter in disused farm buildings while hiking in wild places.
