George R.R. Martin

Sunday’s Game of Thrones brought with it the dragon-sized twist fans have predicted for years, as one of Dany’s children inadvertently switched sides to join The Night King. “Beyond The Wall” didn’t exactly help our understanding of wights and White Walkers, but might that last shot mean Viserion is more ice dragon than undead?

Even as we’re staring down the barrel of our final Game of Thrones episodes, one can’t help wondering about the spinoffs. We know any and all ideas are set in the series’ distant past, but one writer confirms that readers of George R.R. Martin will recognize some Westeros history.

Sunday’s Game of Thrones visit to “Eastwatch” was jam-packed with various jaunts across the map, to say nothing of reunions and returns. One particular revelation could put an entirely new spin on everything we thought we knew about Jon Snow’s past, and create a major conflict with Daenerys.

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 7 delivers “The Queen’s Justice” with a long-awaited meeting of Ice and Fire; somehow only the third most incredible upset of the hour. Plus, has Cersei pulled ahead in the war for Westeros? Find out in our full review!

As Game of Thrones Season 7 drives home, we’re far enough from the books that crucial characters die left-and-right. So what about those books, which once hoped to beat Season 6? George R.R. Martin says Winds of Winter is still “months away,” but we’ll at least have something in 2018.

Theories that are dead may never die, and Game of Thrones fans will cling to some possibilities long after the show passes them by. One such fan is none other than George R.R. Martin himself, who thinks HBO erred in leaving out Catelyn Stark’s famously stone-hearted return.

George R.R. Martin has added one more project to his lengthy to-do list because, apparently, the guy’s got loads of free time. It’s not like anyone’s waiting for him to finish a book or anything.

Let’s face it, “From the author of Game of Thrones” is going to get feet through the door, regardless of whether George R.R. Martin is actually involved. That’s what Syfy’s counting on for its adaptation of Martin’s Nightflyers, a decidedly more space-faring odyssey that now has its very own pilot order.

We can barely handle the anticipation of one new Game of Thrones season, let alone four, but since when does George R.R. Martin do anything small? The notoriously labored writer reveals there’s even a fifth potential spinoff in development, in the process dispelling a few fan-favorite ideas like Dunk and Egg.

Even though he should have been hard at work on The Winds of Winter, George R. R. Martin took some time out of his week to appear on History Channel’s new documentary series Superheroes Decoded, all about how today’s culture became so dominated by the creations of Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, and the like. Martin shared a fan letter he wrote to Marvel Comics, praising one of the issues of Fantastic Four, and the entire magazine.
