Winter has come, the army of the dead have arrived, and the game of thrones nears its conclusion. After eight seasons of backstabbing, shock deaths, romance, huge battles, and three dragons, Game of Thrones will come to its heart-stopping conclusion next month. With the final season arriving on April 15 in the UK, now is the perfect time to get a recap on everything that has happened in the HBO fantasy drama so far. Set in the land of Westeros, where summers last decades and winter can last a lifetime, the noble houses of the Seven Kingdoms co-exist peacefully under King Robert Baratheon, the man who usurped the Mad King Aerys Targaryen.

The Game of Thrones recap you NEED before season 8
The final season of Game of Thrones is upon us. After 67 hours of tears, unforgiving violence, sex, conspiracies, death, White Walkers, dragons, wars and epic-ness we're about to find out who wins the Iron Throne. You've probably forgotten half of what actually went down (except the Red and Purple weddings, obviously), so you're definitely in need of a recap. Here are all the major things that have happened season-by-season so far, and as ever, HUGE spoilers are coming... Season 1 1. A group of men walk through a tunnel beyond the wall into the cold depths of nothingness. For a minute or two, nothing happens until the majority are slaughtered by some creepy dead looking things that go by the name of the White Walkers. Turns out they were not made up after all... 2. Robert Baratheon (the current King of the Seven Kingdoms) rides into Winterfell to see his old friend Ned Stark. After a few beers and trips down memory lane, he persuades Ned to be … [Read more...] about The Game of Thrones recap you NEED before season 8
‘Game of Thrones’: Easter eggs and plot holes from Seasons 1-7
Kelly Lawler USA TODAY Published 11:09 AM EDT Apr 9, 2019 No matter how closely you pay attention watching “Game of Thrones,” you’re probably missing something. It’s not your fault. The HBO fantasy series is one of the most dense, complicated and mythology-rich series ever on television, and if you’re not taking notes or rewatching, significant moments can easily pass by unnoticed. I recently rewatched 67 episodes of “Thrones” over a very short span in preparation for the premiere of the eighth and final season (April 14, 9 EDT/PDT), and plenty of moments stuck out as Easter eggs, teasers for later seasons and even (gasp!) potential plot holes. Don't walk alone with winter coming: All the news, recaps, thoughts and plotline analysis right to your inbox The White Walkers think they're hipster artists We don’t know what, exactly, the Night King and his merry band of White Walkers and wights want, but we do know it’s … [Read more...] about ‘Game of Thrones’: Easter eggs and plot holes from Seasons 1-7
‘Game of Thrones’: Everything you need to remember from all 7 seasons
Kelly Lawler USA TODAY Published 9:00 AM EDT Apr 1, 2019 Have you studied up on your Westerosi history of late? There are Targaryens, Starks, Lannisters and Greyjoys to remember, and battles, white walkers, dragons to name. There have been weddings red and purple, dozens of deaths and more betrayals than you can count. Remembering exactly what happened over seven long and dense seasons of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” is hard, but trying to do it before April 14’s Season 8 premiere is nearly as overwhelming as facing an army of the frozen undead. To make things easier, and prevent you from mounting a last-ditch rewatch of the first seven seasons that requires calling in “sick” from work, we’ve condensed (OK, abridged) the entire series into a few semi-short paragraphs. Seven blessings to you on your journey. Don't walk alone with winter coming: All the news, recaps, thoughts and plotline analysis right to your inbox Where we … [Read more...] about ‘Game of Thrones’: Everything you need to remember from all 7 seasons

Early doors, there's the scene that introduces McKinnon doing her 'look at me, I'm a quirky goofball' routine and for a worrying moment you think it might be one of those very laboured, forced comedies. But have faith. As well as being hugely swoon-worthy, Mila Kunis is … [Read more...] about Check out this week’s top DVD picks from a spy film with a twist to the Walking Dead’s little zombie sister
