Days from its premiere, Game of Thrones is still keeping a fairly tight lid on penultimate Season 6 installment “Battle of the Bastards,” to say nothing of its “Winds of Winter” finale. That said, the big battle might not be all this Sunday has to offer, as a leaked report suggests a major meeting will be taking place, perhaps forming the next great ship to rival Tormund and Brienne.

Emilia Clarke Wants to Be the First Female James Bond

Mother of Dragons, Breaker of Chains, Khaleesi, First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Men; Emilia Clarke’s Daenerys Targaryen has a lot of nicknames. But the ‘Game of Thrones’ actress is looking to add one more to her resume: James Bond. Or I should say, Jane Bond.

Emilia Clarke Wants More 'Game of Thrones' Penis Close-Ups

Game of Thrones Season 6 may not cower to critics, but when the Mother of Dragons demands it, showrunners are wise to follow.

Emilia Clarke Says 'Game of Thrones' Isn't 'Anti-Feminist'

It’s a sorer point with each passing year, but Game of Thrones has never been particularly kind to even its most powerful women, despite author George R.R.
