Like Star Trek before it, Game of Thrones has given eager fans plenty to decipher by the creation of its own unique languages, which themselves occasionally offer easter eggs into the mythology. One such secret arrived with Sunday’s death-laden Season 6 episode, as fans managed to translate the Valyrian prayer Melisandre utilized to resurrect … well, [SPOILER].

It seems almost silly to discuss Sunday’s Game of Thrones without pointing toward the inevitable obvious, that the character everyone thought would come back to life … came back to life. Viewers perhaps weren’t expecting the twist quite so soon, but now it seems the erstwhile corpse of Jon Snow may put in more time with Season 6 than any prior year.

Look, there’s no easy way around it: the Game of Thrones thing we’ve all known was going to happen finally happened at the climax of Sunday’s “Home,” returning a fan-favorite. No longer the subject of intense scrutiny, said favorite has now apologized for lying to the fans all year, while showrunners take us inside the scene.

‘Game of Thrones’ at last returns “Home” THAT character everyone knew couldn’t be dead, but was that even the night’s most shocking twist? What other major characters died, and what giant war is about to break out as in turn? Find out in our full review!

Well, if The Walking Dead warranted a second dip in the Honest Trailer waters, you can bet Game of Thrones would be taking a dunk. The latest spoiler-laden parody trailer for Seasons 4 and 5 (and a little of 6) has officially arrived, starring Littlefinger’s many accents, Stannis’ quiet brooding, and all the heavy metal covers you can handle.

Well, if its position as the most pirated series four years running hadn’t clued you in, Game of Thrones is a fairly popular television series. So much so, in fact, unbelievable anticipation for the Season 6 premiere shockingly brought its highest ratings yet (with a caveat or two), while HBO’s preview weekend may actually have curbed piracy.

Amazingly enough, HBO decided the Game of Thrones Season 6 premiere a fine time to preview some of its other 2016 offerings. Following a look at Danny McBride and Walton Goggins’ new comedy Vice Principals, head back to Miami with Dwayne Johnson for another competitive, excess-driven look at Ballers Season 2.

Game of Thrones fans have entered an entirely new realm of spoilers, now that George R.R. Martin’s books aren’t necessarily leading the way, but Sunday’s Season 6 premiere “The Red Woman” dropped one wrinkly whopper about its titular priestess. Now, director Jeremy Podeswa shares how they pulled off that shocking effect, and what it might mean going forward.

There are tons original series on premium channels like HBO, Showtime, Starz and Cinemax. But, which series is the best one? Take a few minutes and take our poll.

Sure, HBO may have had a few eyes on an anticipated Sunday premiere, but we all know Danny McBride and Walton Goggins are the real draw. See for yourself, as HBO’s Vice Principals gets an impressively profane new trailer ahead of its July premiere.

‘Game of Thrones’ at last returns for Season 6 to answer the burning Jon Snow mystery of “The Red Woman,” but was the wait all for naught? What other shocking twists and unexpected deaths filled our first off-book season premiere? Find out in our full review!

Most subscribers will still be focused on Game of Thrones, but for those who don’t spend every waking second thinking about Westeros, May’s offerings on HBO NOW include some high quality moviefilms.
