Last week, I tuned into the Game of Thrones Season 7 finale with a host of expectations. Jon Snow revealing himself as a champion for trustworthy sexual health information, though, was not one of them.

Jon Snow makes a fair number of dumb decisions. One of them: Not wearing a hat, or any sort of head covering, not even a nice fur-lined hood, when his entire family schtick is wandering around gloomily informing people that winter is both coming and also here. But it turns out this one’s not entirely his fault!

Uh, just a little reminder, in case you forgot to set up your Google Alert for Kit Harington: Jon Snow is the fucken best, and sooner than you think he’s gonna be back on your TV every Sunday doing awesome things in a fashionable furry coat. COME TO MAMA, YOU KINGLY WARRIOR.

Here’s a story that explains a bit about Kit Harington’s casting as Jon Snow: He was sporting a black eye, because he’d gotten into an altercation at McDonald’s late the night before. I now see Kit Harington in an entirely new light.

While I’m still not sure how Jon Snow’s Wildling army ends up at Winterfell so quickly, and whether they’ve managed to gather reinforcements—all in due time. HBO has dropped the trailer for this week’s episode, “Battle of the Bastards” (referring to the “bastard” Jon Snow and the bastard Ramsay Bolton) and of course,…

We’ve hit that time we reach in every season of Game of Thrones where there’s a few episodes devoted to some shit happening that’s necessary to set up the more exciting stuff to come later. That’s all well and good, though the plot-advancing becomes particularly clear when the best moment in the episode is one that’s…

It’s too easy, but, “You know nothing, Jon Snow.”

“The Door” was one of those benchmark Game of Thrones episodes for the powerful and heartbreaking way it ended—but before we get to that, let’s discuss the way it began, with an increasingly resolute Sansa taking back her agency inch by inch.

Daenerys got free! But of the many scenarios we imagined—dragons swooping in, Daario and Jorah slicing and dicing some Dothraki, Dany living the rest of her days in totally chill Vaes Dothrak—how it all went down was unexpected, to say the least.

The fate of Jon Snow this season was kept so quiet on set while filming that no one was allowed to even utter his name. According to Entertainment Weekly, who’s also apparently sat on this scoop for awhile and very likely had to sign some Beyoncé-level nondisclosure agreements, Game of Thrones cast and crew referred…

The Shroud of Turin is a spiritual mystery, one of those pieces of religious significance that supposedly provides unmitigated evidence that Jesus of Nazareth was a being of supernatural importance: a swathe of linen placed over Jesus’s face post-crucifixion/pre-resurrection that was forever marked with an imprint of…

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…

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…

Kit Harington is saying that he won’t be back on Game of Thrones next season. Guess what? HE’S LYING TO YOU.

7 Days in the Hell, the HBO mockumentary about Wimbledon starring Andy Samberg and Kit Harington, is a fun romp that starts off weird and gets progressively more insane over the span of its smartly brief 45-minute run. The movie is a good time, particularly for tennis fans, or even for anyone who has a passing…

On Monday, we launched a multi-part investigation into the height of Kit Harington, an actor who claims to be 5’8, but is not 5’8. What began as a fun look into some questionable facts has, in the following hours, turned into something far more mysterious and sinister. Why? Because no one knows how tall Kit Harington…

Jon Snow is... (spoilers below)...

We’ve reached the end of Season Five of Game of Thrones, and what a slow and meandering journey it’s been! Looking back on the past ten episodes, doesn’t it feel like we watched too much talking and not enough stabbing? (Oh, god. It’s like Frasier all over again.) Doesn’t it also feel like the showrunners owed us a…

Kit Harington, whose pouting face and glossy locks appear weekly on Game of Thrones, stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. And so they brought on a trio of Jon Snow impersonators to do their best for the man himself. One read a box of Frosted Flakes, in character; another read some Sherman Oaks real estate…
