Very Specific Playlists is a weekly feature in which Jezebel staffers make very specific Spotify playlists based on their weird proclivities. Game of Thrones spoilers below!

Maybe it’s the rape, or the violence, or how it’s really boring. Everyone seems to have an opinion about why Game of Thrones, once a mesmerizing fantasy land that darkly mirrored modern day dilemmas, has become near unwatchable. (Which is not to say people have by any means ceased to watch it.) But there is one reason…

Whenever Game of Thrones ends, it’s safe to say that poor Tommen Baratheon won’t be sitting on the Iron Throne. The entire series (minus a few evil magical ice zombies) is about people jockeying to become the ruler of Westeros, with most signs pointing to the exiled Daenerys finally returning home and reclaiming the…

Game of Thrones returns on April 24, and the only person guaranteed an advanced screener lives in the White House. Yes, President Obama is using his few remaining executive powers to watch frozen zombies, crazy fire witches and religious zealots on HBO’s much-anticipated drama—it probably reminds him of this election…

Jon Snow, formerly one of Westeros’ most eligible bachelors, died during the finale of Game of Thrones’ fifth season. After months of speculation (more like “specu-bae-tion!”) about our would-be hero, HBO has just confirmed the state of his body in the official synopsis for this month’s Season 6 premiere, released…

Game of Thrones, a silly show about slow-moving, power-hungry dopes that I sort of hate but continue watching because I’ve spent far too much time to quit now, contains a lot of female nudity. Whether wandering in the back of a frame while two men drink wine, or shot in a lingering close-up beside a fully-clothed man,…

A new season of Game of Thrones is right around the corner and with it comes yet another debate about whether or not the series—with its near-constant depictions of female nudity and rape—is sexist against women. Caaaaan’t wait!

HBO has released another teaser trailer for the sixth season of Game of Thrones, one that offers up the usual GoT fare of action sequences rather than ghostly metaphor. Oh, and there’s no sign of Jon Snow. The ambiguity of his status will without a doubt plague us until the last possible moment.

With just over a month and a half to go, we finally have it—our first proper look at Game of Thrones’ sixth season. Without the books to guide us, we don’t really know what’s going to happen (or, we’re not supposed to). But we can still break down a lot of what we can see in this new trailer. Care to join us?

HBO has released the first official trailer for Game of Thrones Season 6! And while we could have done without the cheesy “Wicked Games” cover—come on—on a certain level it’s mournfully appropriate because it looks like Jon Snow is definitely dead as shit. RIP to the sexiest semi-celibate protector of a fantastical…

If you’re a fan of and/or extremely attracted to any of the fine individuals pictured above, you may be interested to know about an opportunity to sort of hang out with them. If you happen to have several grand put aside, you can purchase a ticket to the Game of Thrones premiere and after-party.

Sarah Burton’s latest fantastical collection for Alexander McQueen invoked, at least in spirit, the legends in Game of Thrones, its gestures towards medieval mythologies gleaming through in silvery unicorn appliqués on delicate lace and romantic, papillon-festooned boudoir jackets. Despite the lilting nature of the…

Macklemore married longtime girlfriend Tricia Davis in 2015 and, for Valentine’s Day, released “Spoons,” a song about the more mundane sexual aspects of being involved in a longtime relationship, including a perhaps made-up scenario about getting mad that she watched ahead in Game of Thrones without him but getting…

The folks behind Game of Thrones, gentle romantics that they are, just released this teaser trailer for the show’s sixth season. And boy, oh boy is it a mindfuck.

New rumors abound about how Spider-Man makes his entrance in Civil War. Neal Scanlan teases the aliens of Rogue One. You probably won’t see Iron Fist hit Netflix this year. Plus, teases for Jewel Staite’s Legends of Tomorrow character, and a first look at Killer Frost and Deathstorm on The Flash. Behold, Spoilers!

George R.R. Martin has had it up to here with you Game of Thrones freaks bullying him.

Whether or not you watched the fifth season of Game of Thrones, you likely caught wind of the controversy surrounding its especially gratuitous violence against women. Even fans of the show condemned certain scenes—Sansa Stark’s rape in particular—as both excessive and lazy plot devices. And what do you know? The…

For several years now, we have been in the throes of an era critics like to refer to as a “TV renaissance.” This ostensibly means that since the success of The Sopranos and The Wire, writers, directors and producers have been challenging themselves to make better, more literary and long-lasting series, built upon…

Would U this tween warg?

On Wednesday, Nashville’s crossed a new line by killing one of the show’s longtime villains just as they were getting their life on track. It was like Game of Thrones when Joffrey died (not a spoiler, you’ve had YEARS to watch) except this death wasn’t exactly celebratory, it was bittersweet, like… a country song.
