As both a huge Michael Crichton and HBO drama fan, this newest announcement from the cable giant has me excited, especially about the early casting reports.  HBO and Bad Robot posted this on their Vines earlier today: It looks like the first two names attached to this project are Oscar winners Sir Anthony Hopkins and […]

I have been VERY critical of season 4 of HBO’s hit Game Of Thrones.  As a hardcore book fan, I had a hard time justifying why such big changes were made when it didn’t impact the television show plots (see any of my reviews). BUT!  Here we have some AWESOME images from the set of Season […]

One of my favorite scripted dramas of the last five years is the replacement for The West Wing sized hole from HBO, The Newsroom.  Many of the snappy, witty one liners and quick fire dialog of this award winning series also harken to Boston Legal, another one of those series known and loved for it’s writing. It is […]

In an unlikely choice, it would appear that former Swingers and Wedding Crashers frontman Vince Vaughn is the long awaited second leading man for season two of HBO’s hit series True Detective. Vaughn joins Colin Farrell in the second season of the award winning series, taking over the leading roles vacated by Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey. Deadline […]

After much debate and fancasting, it looks like Colin Farrell will be joining the cast of HBO’s award winning series True Detective for it’s sophomore season. Farrell told Irish newspaper Sunday World:  “I know it will be eight episodes and take around four or five months to shoot.  I know very little about it, but we’re […]

Without giving too many spoilers away, book readers are aware of the jumping character narrative nature of the later Song Of Ice And Fire novels.  The fifth season of the hit HBO series Game Of Thrones hasn’t even fully covered the third and fourth books, respectively.  And it was announced today that fan favorite Hodor, the Groot-like […]

In a recent interview with radio show “To The Best Of Our Knowledge” , Nic Pizzolatto the creator of the hit HBO series True Detective continued with details about his plans for season 2. He had previously stated ““hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system” were on the horizon […]

This is the third in a string of entries I’ve done since the return of HBO’s hit Game Of Thrones for their fourth season, pointing out the differences from the books.  Last week it was “Breaker of Chains“, and before that it was “The Purple Wedding“.  Let me start by saying I think this was the most […]

This will be another one of those posts where I go into detail of things from the books. I WILL BE GOING INTO DETAIL ABOUT THINGS FROM THE BOOKS.  THIS MAY BE CONSIDERED A SPOILER, SO I AM NOW LABELING THIS POST AS SPOILERS. I’m giving you more chances to click away before I get […]

Here are some fresh off the pages of the interwebs images of King Joffrey Baratheon *cough Lannister cough* and Already-Queen-Once-But-Now-Queen-Again Margaery Tyrell’s wedding from this coming Sunday’s episode of HBO’s hit Game of Thrones. Fun fact:  In the book (book 3, actually, not 4) her hair is down and loose, not up and bee-hivey.  Here’s hoping […]
